Another Article on the Star News Interview (11/10/09)


Headline: GHS "Parted with Boyfriend of 4 Years Due to His Affair"

Money Today's Reporter Kim Soo Jin
Posted on Nov 10, 2009 at 11:49 AM

English Translation from susamerica@soompi.com:

(Thanks natalie for getting the article. Basically this article is a loose summary of the Star News bloggers' comments. I noticed that both Bellaangel012 and I have translated most of it already. However, I will add where needed.)

예쁘장한 외모에 작은 체구. 눈에 띄는 여자 연예인의 탄생인 줄만 알았다. 연예계 등장 이후 계속되는 성장. 그 성장은 연예계 안팎에 관심을 집중시키며 감탄사를 연발케 하고 있다. 그 주인공은 구혜선이다.
Pretty appearance in small frame. It is the birth of a entertainer who is easily recognizable. After her debut, she is continuously developing. That growth is attracting the attention of both inside and outside the entertainment industry.

배우, 화가, 소설가, 영화감독, 작곡·작사가 등 다방면에서 두각을 드러내며 자신의 존재감을 더욱 빛나게 하고 있다. 상상을 현실로 실천하는 그다. 최근 구혜선이 파워블로거와 만났다. 구혜선은 파워블로거들이 만나고 싶어하는 손에 꼽히는 연예인들 중 한 명. 치열한 경쟁을 뚫고 만남의 기회를 얻은 10여명의 블로거와 마주한 구혜선은 이들과 진솔한 대화를 나눴다. 서울 방배동 갤러리 겸 카페 마눌린에서 진행된 구혜선과 파워블로거들과의 인터뷰다.
Actress, artist, novelist, movie director, music composer...outstanding in so many areas that she is making her own llife even more radiant. She turns her imagination into reality. Recently GHS met with powerbloggers. GHS was one of just few entertainers that these powerbloggers wanted to meet. After a feverish competition, these 10 power bloggers finally met with GHS. She shared her honest self with them...at the Manolin cafe.


-올해 부산국제영화제 당시 보이시한 드레스코드가 화제가 됐다.Regarding her dress style at the PIFF

▶ 평소 편안한 스타일로 다닌다. 평소에도 청바지에 티셔츠를 즐겨 입는다. 어찌 보면 프로의식이 없을 수도 있는데 드레스를 차려 입는 게 어색하다. 어찌해야할지를 잘 모르겠다. I like everyday comfortable clothing, such as jeans and t-shirts. Maybe I do not have that "professional counsciousness". I just feel awakward in formal dresses.

내가 과거에 들은 얘기로는 영화제 드레스코드가 청바지에 흰 티셔츠라는 얘기를 들은 적이 있다. 영화제를 위해서 꾸미는 배우를 보면 내가 봐도 즐겁고 예쁘다. 어찌됐건 나의 경우에는 시민들과 편안하게 다가가고 싶은 마음에서 편안한 복장을 택했다. From what I heard before about attending movie screenings, the dress code was jeans and white t-shirt. I also love watching other movie stars come out dressed so pretty. However, for me, I prefer to feel closer and comfortable with the public and that is why I dressed more for comfort.

드 레스나 노출된 의상을 입으면 배우와의 거리감이 느껴질 것 같다. 조금 더 편안하기 위해서였다. 사실 그날 또 갑자기 가게 됐다. 안성기 선배님이 전날 전화로 오라고 하셨다. 스타일리스트 분들과도 얘기할 시간도 없었다. 그래서 원래 입던 옷을 입고 갔다. I feel that I am putting distance between myself and the public if I wear formal dresses with too much exposure. Actually I was not planning to attend the event. The day before, Ahn Sung Gi sunbaenim invited me to come. I did not even have time to consult a stylist. So I just wore what I have.

집에서 바지입고 왔다고 회사에 말씀드렸다. 방송에서는 워스트, 베스트를 나눈다. 하지만 선배님들이 예뻐라 해주셨다. 원래 여배우들이 드레스를 입으면 서로 비교가 되기 때문에 함께 있는 것을 싫어하시는데 나와 함께 입고 싶어 하시더라. I did inform the YG about what I wore. I know that the media will divide the attendees into the best and the worst dressers. However, sunbaenims still welcomed me without any complaints. As you know, actresses hate to be together in these events because they are constantly compared. However, many wanted to be with me.

옷의 가격? 사실 지금 마시고 있는 음료수 값을 다 합쳐도 미치지 못하는 저가의 옷이다. 브랜드 옷을 잘 안 입는다. 싫어하는 건 아니다. 편안한 옷을 직접 만들기도 한다. 워스트로 뽑힐지언정 편안하게 입는 게 좋다. 그게 나만의 생각이다. the price of my clothes at the PIFF? Actually even if we add up all the prices of the beverages on this table, the price of my clothes won't add up to the amount. It is not that I do not like brand name clothings. It is just that I don;t wear them often. sometimes I make my own comfortable clothing. If I were going to be picked as the worst dresser, I might as well dress very comfortably. That was my thought.

-다방면에서 아이디어가 풍부하다. 평소 아이디어 관리는 어떻게 하나. About how GHS organizes her many ideas. (I covered it.)

▶ 어릴 때는 매일 생각이 다르기 때문에 정리가 안됐다. 과거 써 놓았던 것을 지금 가지고 있는데, 지금 생각하지 못했던 일을 생각했더라. 순수한 생각, 기발한 생각을 했더라. 사회생활을 하다 보니 점점 현실적으로 변하는 것 같다. 과거에는 혼자 생각했다면 요즘에는 함께 생각을 나누게 되는 것 같다.

-요리하는 모습이나 춤추는 모습은 상상이 안 된다
.(About cooking and dancing..I covered it.)

▶무엇이든 일단 하는 게 중요하다고 생각한다. 얻는 게 있을 테니까. 댄스는 일단 민망하고 뭐라고 해야 할지. 내 분야는 아닌 것 같다. 내가 뭐든 달려드는 스타일이긴 하지만 댄스는 아니다.

요 리? 과거 남자친구가 있을 때 샌드위치를 만들어서 도시락도 싸고 했다. 처음에는 남자친구가 고마워하고 맛있다고 해서 자신감이 생겼었는데, 어느 날부터인가 그냥 사먹자고 하더라.
(her story about her old bf who initially liked her sandwiches and then later wanted to buy food.)

-일러스트가 화제가 됐다. 그림을 그릴 때의 감정변화가 있나. Your illustrations were big news. Does drawing changes your mood?

▶ 떨어지는 낙엽만 봐도 눈물이 날 때가 있는 법이지 않나. 나도 우울할 때가 있다. 결국에는 긍정적으로 돌아오더라. 나의 경우 우울할 때는 그림을 안 그렸다. 우울할 때 그림을 그리면 더 우울하다. 일단은 정신이 혼미하면 손가락에 집중을 할 수 없다. 볼펜 일러스트는 섬세해야한다. 술에 취하면 집중을 못한다. We all sometimes get teary-eyed even if we may see the leaves fall. I also have days when I am depressed. Ultimately I do become positive. For me, I cannot draw when I am depressed. If I do, I get even more depressed. If my mind is not clear, I cannot concentrate enough to make my fingers work do their job. Ball pen illustratons require detail work. If I am intoxicated, I cannot focus.

-생활 속에서 실천하고 있는 환경운동은 무엇인가. (being an environmentalist----I covered it.)

▶좋게 말하면 실천이고 나를 위해서 하는 일이 있다. 알러지가 좀 있어서 세제로 빨래를 잘 못한다. 이물질이 묻은 부분만 세제를 사용한다. 그냥 물빨래한다. 그게 좋더라.

생활 속에서 진득하게 실천 하는 건 없는데 양심껏 살려고 노력한다. 그게 가장 중요하다고 생각한다. 언제나 하는 것은 자동차 불 켜 놓은 차는 문자를 보내거나 전화를 걸어서 꺼달라고 한다.

-구혜선이 생각하는 고 정승혜 영화사대표님에 대해 말해달라. GHS's thoughts on the late Representative Jung Seung Hae:

▶ 존경하는 존재다. 여장부셨다. 내가 하고 싶은 영화, 영화사 대표를 하셨던 멋있는 사람이셨다. 무엇하나 놓치고 가지 않는다. I respect her being. She was a heroin, an Amazon. She was the representative of the movie production company that made my movie. She was amazing. She never misses anything.

돌아가시고 나니까. 음..살아 계실 때는, 만날 때만 보는 거 아니냐. 돌아가시니까 만나지 않아도 하늘에서 다 보고 계신 거 아니냐. After she passed away, uhm..when she was alive, I only saw her when I met her. Now that she has passed, even if I do not see her, she is constantly seeing me from above.

지금 내가 장편 영화를 준비하고 있는데, 정 대표님과 일 하셨던 분들이 지금 나와 다 같이 일하고 있다. Everybody that worked with Representative Jung now work with me on my full-length movie.

전에는 일 끝나면 끝났다고 전화를 했었는데 지금은 내가 전화를 걸지 않아도 다 알고 있다. 이제는 (고 정승혜대표가) 나를 다 보고 있는 사람이 되어서 '부끄럽게 살지 말아야겠다'는 생각을 한다. 꿈에도 나타나서 '똑바로 살아라'고 위협하시는 분이 됐다. Previously, I used to call her when I was done with work. Now, even if I don't call her, she knows all. Because she watches me and over me constantly now, I cannot live my life shamefully. She is a kind of person who would even appear in my dreams to threaten me to live straight.

저를 돌아보게 되는 거울이다. 사실 좀 짜증이 날 때도 있다. 아 내가 좀 잘못해도 '다보고 있을 것 아니야' 뭐 이런 생각 때문이다. 왜 돌아가셔서...음 그래서 더 양심껏 살고 있다. She is my mirror of reflection. Actually sometimes I get irritated. She will see me even if I do make mistakes. (She will be constantly there whether she likes it or not!) Why did she have to go....uhm...so I try to live my life even more conscientiously.


-피부 미인이다. 피부과는 다니나. (about her skin care---I covered it.)

▶부끄러운 얘기다. 안간 지 2년 됐다. 예전에 열심히 다녔다.

-구혜선이 추천하는 촬영지는?
Places that she recommends for travel.


▶추천하고 싶은 여행지는 가보진 않았는데 마라도다. 꼭 한번 가보고 싶다. Domestically, Mirado (an island near Jejudo, I think)

-해외는?

▶해외여행? 파리는 한번 가보고 '와'했다. '여기 뭐지?' 이런 생각이 들었었다. 호주 사막 캠핑카 여행도 해보고 싶다.
Overseas, She went to Paris once and was amazed by it. (I wonder if this was when she did the MV with Taebin.) She also wants to go to the dessert in Australia in a camping car. (I know she also said she wanted to go to South Pole. She was planning a trip with a friend--maybe the camping car trip to Autralia?)

-이상형과 꿈꾸는 결혼생활이 궁금하다. Your ideal man and the kind of married life that you imagine: (I know that Bellaangel012 covered this but I may retell in order to add what is in the article.)


▶ 꿈은 진짜 많이 꾼다. 이상형은 매번 달라지는 것을 느낀다. 어렸을 때는 잘생긴 남자를 만나고 싶었다. 그다음은 성격. 그다음은 능력. 그 다음은 나를 이해할 수 있는 사람이 좋다고 생각하게 됐다. I really dream a lot. My ideal man has changed over the years. When I was young, I ony wanted to meet a good-looking man. Then, his personality became more important, then his ability and then, his ability to understand me.

만나서 밥을 먹다가도 나를 좀 챙겨주는 사람을 만났으면 좋겠다는 생각이 들기도 한다. 나는 배신을 당해서 헤어진 적이 있다. 4년 만난 남자였다. 남친이 바람나서 헤어졌다. 사실 헤어지는 순간까지도 행복했었다. 그래서 당시 굉장히 힘들었다. 그래서 나에게 의리를 지키는 남자였음 좋겠다는 생각을 했다. Even if we have meals together, I sometimes would like someone who will take care of me and be considerate of me. I was betrayed and had to end the relationship. After 4 years. He had an affair so we ended the relationship. To be honest, I was happy with him even to the point of our good-bye. That is why it was very difficult for me back then. So now, I really want someone who can be faithful to me.

사랑은 변한다. 아니 사람은 시간이 지나면 변한다. 사실 보기 싫어지는 단계가 오기 마련이다. 나와 관계를 잘 만들어 갈 수 있는 사람, 조금은 양보하고 일방적이지 아닌 사람을 만나고 싶다. 물론 나도 나를 잘 다스려야겠지만 일방적인 건 싫다.
Love changes. Actually people change with time. Reality is that there always comes a time when two people no longer love each other. For me, I want to meet someone who want to develop our relationship together, someone who is willing to compromise and who is willing to look at many sides not just his point of view. Of course, I also need to manage myself well. I just don't want one-way relationship.

나 와 다른 일하는 사람도 만나보고 같은 쪽도 만나봤는데 다른 일을 하는 사람은 이해의 폭이 좁고, 같은 일 하는 사람은 자격지심이 생기더라. 그 사람을 존중해주는 사람이 되고 싶다. I have met men who work in the fields that are both similar and different from mine. The ones who do not work in my field, they tend not to be so understanding. For the ones who work in my field, we may become reproachful and guilty towards each other. I want to become a kind of person who respects the other person.

사귀 고 내 남자가 되면 무언가 서로 존중하는 것보다는 충고하는 게 더 많아지는 것 같다. 100%이해하기 힘들어지는 상황이 발생한다. 일방적인 이해보다는 절충이 필요하다고 생각한다. 멋있으면 더 좋다. 나는 결혼에 대한 환상이 크다. After the relationship starts and he becomes my person, respect for each other may drop and we may give each other more warnings and advices. The situation develops where 100% understanding becomes difficult. Instead of just one person understanding the situation, I feel the need for compromise. If he is an amazing person, even better. I have lots of fantasies about marriage.

-이상적인 몸매다. 다이어트비법이 궁금하다. How do you keep in shape? (I covered it.)

Goo Hye Sun Star Interview (10/21/09)


















English Translation from bellaangel012@soompi.com:


The one question that I am sure everyone is interested in is the question about her ideal type and the type of person she wants to be with:


1. Question: GHS's ideal type and her ideal marriage life?

GHS- Her ideal type continues to change said she. From appearance then to personality then to man's ability/capability then to someone who is able to understand and have consideration for her, hence her ideal continues to change.

When people work in the same field, there is that constant competition/comparison of one's success, etc (basically there is always a competitive streak going on); and if working in completely different fields, that person is unable to understand that other person's line or work and what goes along with it and it could become difficult (basically she is trying to say that she would prefer a person working in the entertainment industry as that person is able to understand her line of work and all that goes along with it like the crazy working hours, schedules, kissing other people as their line of work, etc).

In complete honesty and bluntly put, she said that her ex of 4 years cheated on her. (I'm assuming her ex was not in the same line of work she was- which ex I do not know?)The highlighted part said: I do not like a person who just gives, there has to be a mutual understanding and she would like someone who is loyal.


edit: 2: Although I think "determination" could be part of the word "capability/ability" because if one doesn't have that, how can someone fully realize their potential without any work but for the sake of purity in translating, I'm changing it.

2. Question: A place that she recommends traveling to?
Answer: Mari Island (?- an island, Japan?)- she immediately responded. She has never been there and would definitely love to go there. A place that she would recommend going to and would like to go herself is the South Pole and to the desert. Her friends and herself are presently planning to go there. And the place she had been to several times (had fun) was Paris. Her favorite thing to do is to travel all around Korea.

3. Question: Where do you go to for your skincare?

Answer: Truthfully I haven't been to one in 2 years. (the fan who asked was sort of disappointed that she couldn't give an answer because she really wanted to go to the one GHS goes to)More to follow


4. Question: Method for taking self cam pics?

Answer: Honestly, I do not like taking pictures. (small print: her self cam pics were from long ago when digicams first came onto the market and she was fascinated by it)

5. How does GHS think of Producer Jung Seung Hye?

Answer: (the black print I believe is the fan and the highlighted part is GHS's response) black print: This past May, Jung Sueng Hye passed away from colon cancer and this fan still remembers the reports of GHS sobbing uncontrollably and fainting at her funeral. -

[although GHS later refuted claims of that nature])To GHS, when Jung Seung Hye producer was alive, she was highly revered/respected by GHS and was a sophisticated woman. She was someone who would not lose someone (i think the implication here is that she had loyalty), GHS really really liked her. "Jung Seung Hye has come back to me as a mirror"Because GHS thinks she is looking down on her from heaven, GHS can not lie. GHS said this while laughing.

MinSun TVB Interview in Taiwan (06/02/09)



Opening: Taiwan’s Meteor Garden and Japan’s Hana Yori Dango were big hits in 2002 & 2007. This year, Korean version “Boys Over Flowers” (BOF) had also been a success. The main cast Lee Min Ho & Goo Hye Sun visited Taiwan for BOF promotion last week. TVB had arranged an exclusive interview with them.

GHS: I have watched both the Taiwan & Japan version, and thought they were good. For Korea version, the plot is close to the comic that was very hilarious, thus I think it should be a more amazing one.

LMH: My view is more or less the same, though towards the second half of the series it feels a bit gloomy, the first half was really hilarious.

TVB: BOF has been a big hit across Asia, did you expect that before filming?

LMH: I have never thought of that. But I had strong desire to give my all for the character of GJP, therefore I put a lot of effort and tried my very best. And now it has become so popular, I am very happy and grateful.

TVB: You have become very popular after BOF, do you feel the pressure? If yes, how do you relieve that?

LMH: Instead of pressure, I have more a feeling of happiness. For the stress I got from current works…Since I don’t drink alcohol, I cannot relieve my pressure by drinking. It seems like I don’t have a concrete way to take pressure off, but I would forget all the stress after a sleep.

GHS: Since the Taiwan & Japan versions were successful, I had thought that Korea version would also be a success as well. And at the same time, I was afraid that our work would not be as good as the previous versions. So I’m just half confident and half worried. GJD is a bright, lively and brave girl that makes me feel that she’s very charming. Being as strong as a grass is another good point. I can understand the feelings of GJD, but audience might feel that she is faltering, very confused about love. This part makes me feel a bit disappointed.

TVB: A huge amount has been invested for the production on overseas shooting, branded apparels, super cars etc. Even Lee Min Ho enjoys those.

LMH: Since GJP is the heir of an affluent family, he is dressed in nice clothes, going to high-class places. I really enjoyed that part.

TVB: The relationship between GJP & GJD was disapproved by JP’s mum, what if this happen in reality?

LMH: In the drama, I also had a fiancé besides GJD. If this happen in real life, I would also choose the one I love. My personal view towards love is a bit different from that of GJP though, when being with my girlfriend, I want to be like friends that we argue and have little fights sometimes.

GHS: If this happens in reality, I would abandon the relationship if my parents disapprove that. Though we might have put a lot of effort to make it work, I won’t be that stubborn.

TVB: the main casts had car accidents in different occasion during the shoot; the drama had even stopped for one episode due to GHS’s injury from the car accident.

GHS: I was hospitalized due to the car accident; everyone came to visit me at the hospital. And jokingly said that we should stop filming for the drama that made me feel comfortable.

LMH: When Hye Sun was in hospital, I went to see her with others. Everyone felt sorry and worried when we heard about the accident; and everyone just left their works behind and went to visit her at the hospital. I feel that the team was really care about each other and was very touched.

TVB: BOF was a huge success, is there any chance to have part 2?

Producer: We cannot make another BOF without the permission of Ms. Kamio Yoko. In addition, we had already filmed/ used most of the plots in the manga. If we continue the story, we need to make that up on our own and it is not allowed by law in regards to copyright.

Goo Hye Sun's Thoughts on Men & Dating (08/13/09)


English Translation by susamerica@soompi.com

courtesy of webby: Thank you for finding it. This article is the second part of the interview that I just translated by the same Reporter Song Hae Jin. They met at on August 13th (the day that she was the MC with Alex) in Seoul. This is another article about her frustration with dating and men.

꽃남' 구혜선 "남자에게 차여만 봤다"
송혜진 기자 enavel@chosun.com
Headline: 'BOF' GHS: "I Always Get Dumped by Men."
Written by Reporter Song Hae Jin at Chosun News

탤런트 구혜선(26)은 영화 이야기를 할 때와 연애 이야기를 할 때가 영 딴판이었다.
The Reporter Song notices the difference in GHS's attititude and demeanor when she talks about her work as opposed to her talk about her relationship with men.

최 근까지 영화감독에 소설가, 화가까지 변신에 변신을 거듭해온 그녀다. 오는 9월엔 그동안 그녀가 작곡했던 노래를 일본 뉴에이지 피아니스트 이사오 사사키가 편곡해 음반으로도 낸다. 9월 5일엔 '오버 더 레인보우'란 제목으로 연주회도 열 예정. 구혜선은 정식으로 작곡이나 그림을 배운 적은 없다고 했다. 재능이 대체 몇 가지인 걸까.
(summary of GHS and multi-talents and the upcoming September concert...We all know these facts already.) She was confident and eloquent as she talked about her love for her work. The reporter also asks how many other things is GHS good at.

“ 아니에요, 제가 관심 있는 몇 가지엔 정말 공을 들여서 열심히 하는데 다른 건 전혀 못해요. 완전 바보에요.” 지난 13일 강남 청담동 한 카페. 영화 이야기할 때만 해도 또박또박 눈을 빛내며 조리 있게 말을 이어가던 구혜선이 갑자기 귀여운 푸념을 늘어놓기 시작했다.
"No, No, With few things that I am really interested in, I put in all my effort. But, I cannot do other things well at all. A complete simpleton!" I sat with GHS last August 13th at a Kang Nam Chun Dam Dong cafe. While she discussed her movie, her speech was eloquent and precise while her eyes shone. All of a sudden, GHS turned all cute while grumbling about another aspect of her life.

“ 연예인이면 좀 제대로 꾸밀 줄도 알고, 쿨한 척도 좀 할 줄 알고 그래야 하잖아요. 근데 전 네일이나 페디큐어 받는 것조차 제대로 못해요. 손톱 항상 물어뜯고, 제대로 씻지도 않고 있고. 남자들이 절 멀리서 볼 땐 ‘와 쟤 되게 열정적이고 귀엽다’라고 생각하고 접근했다가 막상 사귀면 ‘얘 뭐야 엄청 깬다’ 그러고 도망가요.”
"Most people in the business of acting and performing know at least how to dress and groom well and at times, even act cool and indifferent. However, I am not like that. I rarely get manicures. I always bite my nails. Sometimes I haven't even cleaned myself appropriately. From far, men may look at me and think how passionate and cute I am and approach me. Then, they see the real me from dating and become disappointed and run away from me."

구 혜선은 스스로 “연애엔 정말 젬병인 사람”이라고 고백하기도 했다. “연애하면서 대체 어떻게 밀고 당기기를 해야 하는 건지 모르겠어요. 전 그냥 좋아하는 사람 생기면 그야말로 도시락 싸 들고 쫓아다니는 성격이거든요. 문자 보내놓고 계속 전화기 손에서 쥐고 있다가 답 안 오면 냉큼 또 보내고 그래요. 그래서 결국 남자들이 절 재미없다고 생각하고 떠나간다니까요.”
GHS independently confessed that she is a hopeless case when it comes to dating. "While dating, I have no idea what it means to push and pull or play the love games. When I really like someone that I am dating, i am the type that pack lunches and follow him around. I send him text message and wait for his call with the cell phone readily at my side. If he does not return my text, I do not hesitate to send another one right away. Ultimately, men think me boring and leave me."

가 장 최근에 했던 연애는 1년 반 전. 친구들이 하나 같이 ‘대체 저런 애가 왜 좋아?’라고 물었던 스타일의 남자에게 한 눈에 반해 사귀게 됐었다고 했다. 사람을 만날 땐 언제나 결혼을 전제로 만난다고. 그래서 남자친구를 사귀는 게 쉽지 않다고 했다.
"My last dating experience was one and half years ago. I dated a guy that I fell head over heels at first sight. Most my friends could not see what I saw in him. I do not date for the sake of dating but for the possibility of marriage. That is why dating is not an easy thing for me."

“최근까지 만난 친구도 처음엔 그 쪽에서 먼저 다가왔는데, 막상 연애과정에서 제가 하염없이 혼자 기다리고 쫓아다니다가 차였어요. 다음 연애는 정말 잘하고 싶은데, 잘 될까요? 결혼하면 이런 고민 안 하게 되겠죠?” (웃음)
"My last relationship was also initiated by the man. However, while we were actually dating, I was the one usually waiting alone and chasing after him. Then. he dumped me. I really want to do well in my next relationship. Do you think it will? If I get married, I wouldn't have to stress over such things, right??"

Bless you GHS. I really hope for the best in your next relationship for you !!!

Old But Interesting Articles by Lee Jun Young on Goo Hye Sun


English Translation by susamerica@soompi.com

I know there isn't much news about our HS. Hope she is getting a nice break time. There is a possibility that we may see her on MNET's popularity award show on August 28th, right? Although we could not vote for her, I hope at least we can see her with two of her F4 friends at the award show.

I found THREE ARTICLES below through naver.com and it is from SportsDonga. All the article are written by Lee Jun Young reporter ALL on the same date of February 11, 2009

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
구혜선이 말하는 ‘나의 연애관’… 김지훈과 열애? “
생뚱 맞아요”

Headline: GHS's love....Kim Ji Hoon? Not True (above Korean word in red??)
입력 : 2009-02-11 00:00:00


“결혼할 남자를 만날 거예요.”
구혜선은 최근 대중의 관심을 끄는 인기 스타라면 누구나 거치게 되는 일종의 통과의례라 할 수 있는 열애설에 휩싸였다. 그녀는 동료 연기자 김지훈과 열애설이 보도된 후 처음으로 심경을 밝혔다.
GHS says: "I will meet a man that I would want to marry."
She says that rumors that connect me to other male stars will naturally happen as I am in the public's eye. She became concerned for the first time about the rumored love connection with her colleague Kim Ji Hoon.

구혜선은 자신의 열애설에 대해 “너무 쌩뚱 맞아요”라며 웃었다. 대개 스타의 ‘열애설’은 그런 이야기가 나올만한 상황이 있기 마련이다. 그런 사실을 그녀도 잘 알고 있었다.
GHS laughs about the rumored love connection stories about her, saying that it is just a false rumor. She knows that those things could happen to any people in the public light.

“제가 계기를 제공했으니 그렇게 보였겠죠. 제 잘못도 있어요. 한 달 전 소문이 돌았을 때 알아서 행동을 조심했어야 했는데… 그때는 ‘왜 그런 소리가 나올까’하고 무심결에 흘려들었는데 막상 소문이 퍼지고 나니 속상하더라고요.”
"Perhaps because I let it happen, it is partly my fault too. This rumor occurred one month ago and I should have been more careful.....At that time, I just wondered why such a rumor would appear and did not think about it. As the rumor thickened, I became more upset."

그녀는 알려진 것처럼 김지훈과 막역한 사이가 아니라고 한다.
“함께 연습생 시절을 거친 것도 아니고, 어렸을 때 음악하던 사람들과 자주 만나는 모임에서 만났어요. 소개를 받고 다른 사람과 함께 몇 차례 자리를 했을 뿐인데 우리만 유독 연기자다 보니 그런 오해가 생긴 것 같아요.”
GHS says that she and Kim Ji Hoon do not have the kind of vague relationship that the rumor describes.
"We were not trainees together. We met frequently in a group that learned music together since young age. I was introduced to him and, with another person, we got together few times. However, since only the two of us are public entertainers in the group, the misunderstanding may have occurred."

구혜선은 열애설이 나온 후 김지훈에게 미안해서 전화한통을 못해줬다고 했다. 그녀는 “ 저 때문에 곤란하지 않았을까 미안했어요. 모임 친구들에게 ‘지훈 오빠는 괜찮은지 물어봐달라’고 했어요”라고 말했다.
After the rumor occurred, she felt so sorry to Kim Ji Hoon that she could not even make a phone call to him. "I felt like I may have put him in a bad situation. I asked one of my friends from our music group to ask if he is doing well."

구혜선은 열애설을 해명하면서 자신의 연애관에 대해 확실히 밝혔다.
Then GHS spoke truthfully about her own situation with love and men.

“ 일찍 안정된 생활을 하고 싶어 결혼도 빨리 하고 싶어요. 한 남자를 만나면 ‘올인’하는 스타일이라 결혼 적령기에 만나 결혼할 거예요. 한 번 만나면 쉽게 헤어지지 못하고 눈에 콩깍지가 씌여 아무 것도 안보여요. 지금까지 2명의 남자와 사귀었는데 모두 먼저 차였어요.”
"I want to marry as soon as possible so that I can have a more stable life. I am a ALL IN, one woman for one man type of a person. I am a type of person who cannot easily break up when I meet someone I really care about and I cannot see anybody else except for that one person. So far, I have been in two relationships and, both times, the men broke up with me first."

너무 순종적으로 대해 “넌 너무 매력이 없다”라는 공통된 말을 남기고 떠났다고 한다.
“나와 결혼은 몰라도 연애는 안 되겠다고 말하고 떠났죠. 그런 상처가 있어 그런지 남자를 만나보려고 시도를 해봤지만 쉽지 않았어요. 연애는 정말 어려운 것 같아요.”
They both left me by saying that I am too agreeable to the point of being pure and obedient that I am not charming enough."They left me by saying that they might want to marrry me but that they do not want to date me. Because of such personal scars, I find it very difficult to meet men for myself. Dating is really a difficult thing."

(I remember translating the Somang interview where GHS was told about what Lee Seung Gi said: that he would marry GHS type of person but that his ideal is Nam Sang Mi. I remember her expression was blank, meaning that she did not look happy at all but did not show it. Now I know that such comments by men would remind her of her deep scars about her love experience. Well, I for one, pray that GHS stays true to herself and never compromise to please anybody!!!)


연애에 관한 지침서 등을 읽으며 연애공부를 하고 있다는 그녀는 “결혼할 남자를 만나게 되면 숨기지 않고 떳떳하게 밝히고 당당하게 연애를 할 것”이라고 말했다.
GHS says that she reads and studies about dating and relationships. When she meets the right person, she does not want to hide the truth but to date in a dignified manner out in the open.

(I think she is willing to date in public without hiding it. I hope the special man that she meets also feel the same way since, most likely, she will date somebody who is also in the same business, right???)

The Reporter Lee Jung Yun made a commentary on SportsDonga on Feb. 11, 2009 after speaking with GHS in the above interview. Below is Lee's commentary:

‘꽃남’ 구혜선의 드라마와 연기 그리고 사랑… 이정연 기자가 본 구혜선 (My reflection about GHS)  입력 : 2009-02-11 00:00:00

그녀와 이야기를 하면서 두 번 깜짝 놀랐다.
After speaking with GHS, I was surprised twice.


연예인, 그것도 지금 한창 인기 절정인 스타답지않은 순진한 성격에 먼저 놀랐다.
Even though she has been an actress/performer and is currently extremely popular, she is basically unaffected and I am surprised by her innocence and sincerity.

그리고 한차례 열애설에 시달렸는데도 불구하고 거침없이 자신의 속마음을 말하는 모습에 또 한 번 놀랐다.
Even though she had been caught in the difficulty of false rumor about her love life, she is yet willling to be open about her real self. Again, this surprised me about GHS.

거침없이 솔직한 구혜선의 성격은 드라마 ‘꽃보다 남자’에서 그녀가 연기하는 금잔디 모습과 전혀 달랐다.
GHS' unhindered honesty and sincerity are so different from her Geum Jandi character that she plays in BOF.

이야기를 조근조근 맛깔 나게 풀어내는 빼어난 화술도 있고, 순진한 미소로 상대를 끌어당기는 묘한 매력도 지녔다.
She speaks so deliciously, with her genuine smile, that you cannot help but be pulled in by her charm.

조금은 독특한 그녀의 이런 모습을 두고 주위에서는 ‘4차원 엉뚱녀’이라고 하지만, 그보다는 극중 상대역인 이민호가 부르는 ‘구초딩’이라는 별명이 더 어울린다.
Some people have called her uniqueness as "4-D strange girl", however, I think the way Lee Min Ho calls her seems more appropriate. He nicknamed her "Goo Cho-Ding"=Goo, the elementary school kid

(funny, real,genuine, innocent like a child. You know, the way Goo and Lee often interacted together BTS in BOF--like couple of innocent kids having fun and fooling around.)

Another article by the same reporter as above on GHS on the same day:


구혜선의 드라마와 연기 그리고 사랑…이민호 김현중이 남자로 보이기 시작했다
GHS' drama, acting and love--------------Lee Min Ho and Kim Hyun Joong are starting to look like men입력 : 2009-02-11 05:56:48

꽃보다 남자들의 여자’ 구혜선의 인기는 지금 상종가이다. 그리고 현재진행형이다.
BOF's girl, GHS's popularity is increasing and is currently continuing.

그녀는 ‘꽃보다 남자’에서 ‘구혜선 원맨쇼’라고 할 정도로 늘 거침없이 망가졌다. 그렇게 두 달 동안 살아왔더니 그녀의 인기 역시 ‘F4’ 못지않게 올라갔다.
At times, BOF is referred to as "GHS one-man show" because she gets into the action scenes without hesitation and gets hurt. After acting in such a way for the past two months, GHS is getting as much popularity as the F4.

드라마에서 ‘F4’의 사랑을 독차지 하는 그녀는 한동안 여성 시청자들에게 ‘공공의 적’이었다. 그러나 소녀, 누나들의 집단 원성은 점차 응원의 목소리로 이어지고 있다.
While she monopolized the love of F4, GHS has been the enemy of many female viewers of BOF. However, these female audience's reproachful remarks are fast turning into cheers for GHS.

요즘 매일 계속되는 촬영 때문에 경기 파주-화성-대구 등 전국을 오가는 숨 가쁜 촬영일정을 소화하는 구혜선을 정말 어렵게 시간을 내서 만났다.
Because BOF shoots in various locations, setting up interview with busy GHS has been very difficult.

워낙 큰 인기를 끌고 있어서 그런지 피곤한 기색이 없다.
Yet, maybe due to the popularity of the drama, GHS did not look tired at all.

“하루에 1시간 정도 차안에서 쪽잠을 자며 촬영하고 있다. 이 생활을 한 지 벌써 2개월째다. 이제는 익숙해졌는지 괜찮다. 가끔 잠이 부족해 횡설수설할 때도 있지만 다들 고생하고 있고, 결과도 좋게 나와 힘을 내고 있다.”
"I sleep in the van for about an hour and then return to filming, This has been my life for the past two months that I think I have become accustomed. Of course, at times, I may talk gibberish due to lack of sleep. However, it is not just me. Everybody is in the same boat. Besides, the result is so good that I feel more energizied."

신드롬이라고 할 정도로 인기다. 인기 요인이 무엇일까.
Popularity is soaring. What do you think is the reason?

“이민호, 김현중 등 ‘F4’의 힘이다. 그들의 가진 매력이 갈수록 더 인기를 끌고 있는 것 같다. 그들과 함께 연기하는 것은 나의 행운이다.”
"It is the power of Lee Min Ho, Kim Hyun Joong, the F4. Their attractive charms are increasing the popularity by the day. To act with them is my luck."

전작인 사극에 비해 연기가 편안해졌다는 평이 많다.
People are saying your acting seems much more comfortable than when you were playing the roles in the dry historical dramas.

“ 내 이름 뒤에 꼬리표처럼 붙은 ‘미스 캐스팅’, ‘불명예’, ‘논란’이라는 단어 때문에 방황의 시기를 보냈다. ‘왕과 나’를 촬영할 때도 공격의 대상이었다. 사회적으로 물의를 일으킨 것도 아닌데 무차별 공격을 받았다. 덕분에 마음의 여유가 없어지고, 연예계 활동에 대해 복잡한 생각을 많이 했다. 그러나 시간이 지나면서 마음을 비우고 내 자신만 생각했다. 모든 것을 내려놓으니 편해지고, 쉽게 연기할 수 있었다.”
"Behind my name followed the labels of "miscasting", "disgrace", "criticism" and,so, I did experience some really dark hours for a while. When I was in , I also received great attacks of criticism. I felt that I received indiscriminate amount of criticism even though I did not bring on any societal harm. Because of that I could not really rest easy and seriously thought hard about my acting career. As time passed, I was able to empty my mind clean and to focus only on myself. After I let go of everytthing, I felt more comfortable and lighter. Only then, I was able to do my acting job more easily."

장안의 화제인 ‘F4’의 사랑을 한꺼번에 받으니 부럽다.
You are the envy of everyone as you get the love of the famous F4.

“ 촬영장에만 있다보니 인터넷을 검색할 시간이 없다. 밖의 반응을 모르니 그들의 인기를 실감을 못했다. 어쩌다 휴대전화로 인터넷을 볼 때마다 깜짝 놀란다. 직접 얼굴을 보며 연기할 때는 몰랐는데, 화면으로 보니 정말 멋있다. 옆에 있으면 부담스러울 정도다.”
"I don't even have the time to use the internet as I am so busy filming. I did not fully realize their popularity as I usually did not have the time to find out what is going on outside of filming. By chance, I did look at the internet through the cell phone and was surprised by their enormous popularity. I really did not know it while filming, but when I would see them on the screen, I then realize how very attractive and charming the F4 are. At times I feel the burden when I am next to them."

이민호나 김현중이 프러포즈가 현실이라면?
What if the proposals from Lee Min Ho and Kim Hyun Joong are for real?
“ 정말 나는 연하의 남자에게 매력을 못 느꼈다. 그런데 모니터를 하면서 느낀 건데, 이런 나에게도 남자로 보일정도로 매력적이다. 나도 이제 나이를 먹었나 보다. 상대가 나를 여자로 보고 프러포즈를 한다면 더 이상 연기자로 보기 어려울 것 같다.(웃음)”
"To be very honest, I have never felt attracted to men younger than I am. But, as I monitor them, even I am feeling their attractiveness as men. I guess I am getting old. If they also see me as a woman and propose, I guess it would be hard for me to act like a professional actress in that situation. (laughter)"

김현중과 이민호의 키스신이 화제다. 특히 이민호와의 진한 키스신은 뒷말이 무성하다.
Kiss scene with Kim Hyun Joong and Lee Min Ho created big news. There are lot of talks especially about the deep kiss scene with Lee Min Ho.

“(김) 현중이와는 드라마 초반에 촬영한 키스신이었다. 그런데 (이)민호와의 키스신은 조금 뒤에 찍어 상황이 달랐다. NG없이 한 번에 찍자는 감독님의 주문도 있고, 서로의 사랑을 확인하게 되는 장면이라 완전히 몰입했다. 데뷔 후 드라마에서 그렇게 진한 키스는 처음이다. 현중과 찍은 입술만 맞대는 뽀뽀 수준이 아닌…아주 진.한.키.스(하하하). 1시간에 걸쳐 키스신을 찍은 이후 3일 동안 민호와 서로 얼굴을 못 쳐다봤다. 그런데 편집에서 수위가 너무 높다고 판단해 역광으로 촬영된 장면을 내보냈다. 방송을 보면서 저렇게 편집될 걸 너무 리얼하게 연기(?)했다고 후회했다.(웃음)”
"The kiss scene with KHJ occurred in the beginning of BOF. But the kiss scene with LMH occurred later and the situation is different. The PD asked us to make the scene in one shot without any NG's. It was a scene that is suppose to show the confirmation of the love between GJP and GJD and so we had to really focus. Since my debut, I have never kissed so deeply in my career.

It was so different from the light peck with KHJ...it was a real deep kiss (hahaha). One hour after the kiss scene with LMH, I could not even look at LMH in the face for 3 days. However, the kiss scene was considered inappropriate for our audience that the PD had to edit it with much backlighting. While looking at that edited kiss scene on TV screen, I regretted that we both worked so hard to make it real.
(laughter)"

극중 두 남자를 사이에 두고 갈팡질팡한 것 아닌가
Would you have difficult time making decision between two drama male characters.

“ 누구나 그 상황이라면 흔들렸을 것 같다. 다른 사람도 아니고 구준표와 윤지후다. 한 명은 절정의 순정파인데 거칠다. 또 한 명은 다른 사람을 사랑한 적이 있지만 나에게 너무 다정다감하다. 쉽게 ‘이 사람이다’라고 선택할 수 없을 것 같다. 아마 그 상황이라면 갈등하지 않는 사람은 없을 것이다.”
"Anybody in that situation would be shaken in such situation. Especially since the two characters are Goo Joon Pyo and Yoon Ji Hoo. One character is, although rough on the outside, the peak of pure sincerity. The other one loved another before but is very sensitive and emotional to me. It is not an easy decision to make. I think anybody would sympathize with such difficult situation."

‘하이틴 막장드라마’라는 비판이 있다.
There is some criticism of BOF as an inappropriate teen drama.

“ 그런 비판은 당연하다. 만화를 원작으로 해 어쩔 수 없는 부분이다. 그래도 최대한 한국적인 정서로 담아내려고 노력하고 있다. 만화에 비해 훨씬 정화시키려 최선을 다하고 있다. 드라마는 드라마일 뿐, 오해하지 말았으면 좋겠다. 고등학생 신분에 대해 비판적인 의견은 있을 수 있다. 단순한 사건, 사고보다는 이들이 만드는 메시지에 주목해줬으면 좋겠다.”
"Of course such criticism is normal given that the original comes from a manga. However, we are trying our best to make it as much appropriate for the Korean audience as possible. Drama is just a drama. I sincerely hope that the public do not misunderstand. It is normal to criticize it as inappropriate for the high school students. However, I hope that the public focus on the essence of the message told by these drama characters."

금잔디 캐릭터도 너무 오버스럽다는 지적도 있다.
Geum Jan Di character has also been criticized for overacting.

“한국인들은 가난하지만 억척스런 캐릭터보다는 가난한데 발랄한 캐릭터를 좋아한다. 금잔디가 이런 경우다. 가난하지만 그것을 고민하지 않고 당당하게 이겨낸다. 그런 금잔디를 연기하다보니 그렇게 표현되는 것 같다.”
"Koreans prefer characters that are poor but lively instead of character that are poor but tough and unyielding. Geum Jan Di is such a character. She may be poor, but she does not ever worry about that and live her life in a dignified way. As I played such Jandi, that is how it comes out for me."

이 드라마가 이처럼 큰 인기를 누릴 것이라 예상했나
Did you ever imagine the drama will become this popular.

“ 아시아에서 인기를 얻어서 어느 정도 이슈는 될 것이라 여겼지만 이처럼 폭발적인 반응을 보일 줄은 몰랐다. 비현실적인 면, 즉 환타지가 많이 어필한 것 같다. 현실에서는 일어날 수 없는 일들이 벌어지니깐 일종의 대리만족을 느끼면서 재미있게 봐주는 것 같다.”
"Because other versions became so famous in other parts of Asia, I did think that our version will create some news, but I never thought it will cause such an explosive reaction. I am sure that the unreal and fantasy-like aspects appealed to the audience. So much of the drama would not normally occur in real life and we all, at times, get so much more satisfaction from fantasy."

Sports Hankook Interview with Goo Hye Sun aka Geum Jan Di


English translation by susamerica@soompi.com

스포츠한국 강은영기자 kiss@sportshankook.co.kr

Reporter Kang Eun Young of Sports Hankook
Feb 18. 2009


KBS 2TV 월화 드라마 <꽃보다 남자>(극본 윤지련ㆍ연출 전기상)의 촬영장에는 언제나 팬들로 넘쳐난다. 최근 경기도 일산의 한 카페에서 '금잔디' 구혜선을 만나던 날에도 팬들의 함성은 끊이지 않았다. 중ㆍ고등학생 팬들은 "언니 너무 예뻐요!"를 연발하며 카페 창 밖에 줄을 섰다.
summary: great popularity of BOF. Fans everywhere. This reporter met GHS in a café while she was on the set of BOF. Fans everywhere.

구 혜선은 "항상 감사하죠. (손을 들어 보이며)저 분들 덕에 <꽃보다 남자>가 잘되고 있는 거 같아요"라며 밝게 웃어 보였다. 구혜선은 인터뷰 도중 느닷없이 종이를 들이밀며 사인을 요구한 중년의 남성에게도 "감사합니다"며 눈웃음을 지었다. 일주일 밤샘 촬영에도 구혜선을 웃게 만드는 그 힘은 무엇일까?
Goo Hye Sun:
I am always thankful to all the fans. Because of those fans, BOF is doing so well. Even during the interview, she thankfully signed for a middle aged male fan. So, where does GHS gets her energy to tolerate multiple sleepless nights?


에너지1: '꽃남'은 나의 힘 =Energy 1: BOF is my strength


구 혜선은 <꽃보다 남자>에 금잔디로 캐스팅 된 후 궁합부터 봤다. 그 궁합의 대상은 바로 'F4' 이민호 김현중 김범 김준이다. 구혜선은 친구들과 함께 네 사람과의 궁합을 보고 더욱 흡족했다. 네 명과의 궁합도가 모두 좋았기 때문이다.
Right after GHS was confirmed for the role of Geum Jandi, she went to have her read by a fortuneteller. (Goonghap, as told by a fortuneteller, predicts how harmonious the relationship will be between the couple.) GHS wanted to know how harmonious she will be with her cowokers (subjects of her goonghap are Lee Min Ho, Kim Hyun Joong, Kim Bum, and Kim Joon.). She went to the Goonghap with her friends and received reports of very good levels of harmony with all her four coworkers to be.

" 궁합을 봐주신 분이 네 명과의 궁합이 좋아서 잘 안될 수가 없다고 하셨어요. 내심 '드라마가 잘 될까?'를 걱정했었는데 그 말을 듣고 모두 털어버렸죠. 지금 생각하면 그 분이 잘 봐주시는 거 같아요. 제가 몇 번 소문을 냈는데 그 집이 요새 '대박'이 났다네요. 하하"
GHS was nervous and worried about how well the drama BOF will do. Since the goonghap with F4 is so good, the fortuneteller insisted that the drama will only be a big success. She felt so relieved. Looking back, GHS believes that the fortuneteller was very talented. GHS spread the word about that particular fortuneteller and now the person is making fortune as well!


이 민호와 가장 촬영 신이 많기 때문에 스스럼없이 장난을 칠 정도로 가까워졌다. 구혜선은 이민호를 '쾌활하면서도 섬세한 남자'로 꼽는다. 구혜선은 이민호가 장난스런 말투를 보이면서도 '누나'의 기분을 배려할 줄 아는 동생이라고 칭찬한다.
Because she has most scenes with Lee Min Ho, she has become very close to him without reservation. She says of LMH: he is very lively and yet delicate and subtle. He may speak down to her to fool around, but he is a dongsang who knows how to be so very considerate of her feelings.

" (이)민호하고 이제 호흡이 척척 맞아요. 그래서 편한 동생이죠. 김현중은 너무 매너가 좋아서 가끔 놀랄 때가 있어요. 저보다 어리지만 더 어른스럽다고 해야 할 정도죠. 김범은 의젓해요. 제가 감정을 잡고 다음 촬영을 준비하고 있으면 '조용히 해주세요'라며 대기실을 환기시키죠. 김준과는 동갑이어서 말이 잘 통하는 편이고요."
Minho and I get along so well that he has become a very comfortable dongsang to me now. Kim Hyun Joong has such good manners that, at times, I am surprised by him. Even though he is younger than I am, he feels much older and mature. Kim Bum is dignified and imposing. When I try to get hold of my emotions to get ready for the next scene, he would tell others in the waiting area to be quiet and, people listen to his words. Because Kim Joon and I are of same age, I communicate fine with him.

구 혜선은 연일 계속되는 밤샘 촬영으로 비몽사몽일 때가 더 많다. 그래도 촬영장에 오면 힘이 나는 건 'F4'들 덕이다. 구혜선은 극중에서 넘어지기는 일쑤고, 밀가루를 뒤집어 쓰는가 하면 혹한에 눈밭에 쓰러지는 등 온갖 '몸 연기'를 펼치고 있다.
Due to the never ending, strenuous, day and night filming of BOF, GHS is often in a state of half sleep-and half-awake. However, at the work site, she feels energized by F4. During the filming, she falls down a lot even on top of snow and gets dumped on by sacks of flour.

" 제가 몸으로 힘든 연기를 하고 있지만 드라마 반응이 너무 좋아서 다음날이면 괜찮아지더라고요. 그래서 'F4'에게도 말했죠. '누나는 고생할 테니, 니들은 멋있는 거 더 해라'고요. 저보다 'F4'가 더 멋있게 나와야 드라마가 살지 않겠어요. 호호"
Even though it is hard on my body, the reaction of the viewers are so good that I feel fine the next day. So I tell the F4: “Noona is OK with all these physical hardship, you all just go on looking and acting more and more charming. F4 must be more attractive and charming than I am so that the drama will continue to be successful. hohoho”

에너지2: '서민'은 내 체질=Energy 2: being a commoner is my nature

구혜선은 얼마전 전북 무주의 스키장 촬영을 다녀왔다. 또한 극중 친구로 출연하는 신예 김소은과 네일아트를 받기 위해 숍을 찾았다. 구혜선은 생전 처음으로 스키장에서 스키도 타보고, 손톱 손질도 받아봤다고 자랑했다.
GHS says she really is a commoner because she has never skied nor ever had her nail art done before she got the role in BOF.

"< 꽃보다 남자>는 최고의 재벌가 자제들이 주인공이다 보니 제가 혜택을 받는 게 많아요. 스키장을 태어나서 처음으로 가봤어요. (눈이 커지며)민호가 스키 타는 걸 가르쳐주긴 했는데 의아해하더라고요. (손등을 펴보이며)네일아트도 너무 예쁘게 되지 않았어요? 저는 진짜 처음 받아보는 거라 신기한 거 있죠?"
Because the story of BOF is about the fantastically wealthy boys, GHS acknowledges the benefits to herself. It was the first time since she was born that she went to ski. Her eyes widening, she said, although Minho tried to teach me how to ski, it felt doubtful. Showing nails, she admired how pretty the nail art looked. It is my first time so it looks strange yet marvelous.

구혜 선은 핼쓱해져가는 'F4'에 비해 살이 하나도 빠지지 않았다. <꽃보다 남자>는 생방송이라고 할 만큼 일주일에 2회 분량을 촬영하느라 잠을 자거나 집에 들어갈 시간도 모자라다.
Even though F4 are losing weight, GHS has not lost any weight. BOF must film 2 episodes worth every week. Often, there is no time to sleep or even go home to rest.

그래도 구혜선이 버틸 수 있는 건 밥을 잘 챙겨먹기 때문이다. 편식을 하지 않는 편이라 무엇이든 맛있게 잘 먹는다.
GHS has been able to tolerate the stress by eating well. She eats her meals regularly and enjoys her meals.

" 사실 연예인들은 촬영 때문에 밥을 거르거나 김밥으로 끼니를 해결할 때가 많아요. 저도 주로 간단하게 끼니를 해결할 수 있는 김밥을 먹곤 하죠. 하지만 간혹 민호가 사주는 맛있는 밥에 기운이 솟을 때가 있어요. 제가 넘어지고 쓰러지고 하는게 안됐는지 가끔 'F4'가 만찬을 대접하곤 해요."
Actors may skip their meals or just eat a roll of kimbap (Korean style sea weed roll) under the stress of filming. I may do that too. Occasionally Minho would buy me delicious food and I would get a burst of energy. F4 must feel rally sorry for me because I have to fall and get hurt a lot. So, they often treat me to dinners. (lucky GHS!)

구혜선은 이날 비로 인해 촬영이 지연되자 막간을 이용해 타로카드 점괘를 봤다. 그는 현재 마음속으로 좋아하는 사람이 있어 사랑이 이뤄질 수 있는지를 물었다.
Because of the rain today, BOF filming was temporarily postponed. Using that intermission, GHS visited a Tarot Card Specialist. to get a reading. She wanted to find out if her unrequited love can ever turn into mutual love.

" 타로카드를 보니 제가 짝사랑하는 그분이 저와 마찬가지로 저에게 호감이 있다고 해요. 그래서 두 사람이 서로 눈치만 보고 고백하지 못하는 경우라는 점괘가 나왔어요. 좋아하고 마음에 둔 사람이 따로 있는데 열애설이 났으니…올해 연인이 생긴다고 하니 너무 기분이 좋더라고요."
She was told that the man she likes also has feelings for her. However, neither she nor he has professed true feelings to each other. She was very happy getting the love report by the Tarot specialist who told her that she s going to have a boyfriend/sweetheart this year.
(Woah! I wonder who??? I wonder who it is since she already knew in Feb 2009!)

MinSun Interview for TBS King's Brunch (Japanese TV program) 08/08/09

And the long wait is over....
MinSun interview (07/28/09) @ Namsan/Teddy Bear Museum is finally out!

They look good together and sooo adorable!
It's so fitting that the interview was done inside the Namsan cable car
where JunDi had their first date in BOF.




(1) I love the affectionate way MinSun greeted each other.
(2) MinSun matching body movements
(3) cute teddy bear kisses
(4) MinSun chemistry in display

English translated by susamerica@soompi:

@1:20 MC introduces herself.

@2:05 MC and GHS meet at Namsan and GHS looks very pretty.

@2:38 GHS: It is an honor to meet the Japanese audience this way. I hope that you all enjoy
watching it.

@2:49 The MC asks the onlookers if they like BOF and they all answer yes.
She asks them what they liked about it.One says she liked everything,the bitter and
sweet love, the swing scene where Joonpyo and Jandi kiss was so charming...


They show the spots around Namsan where they filmed.

@3:37 MC sits where JP sat waiting for JD in the cold.

@3:43 GHS: That day all I remember is how cold it was. It was so cold that we had to share
a
portable heater during filming and try to overcome the difficulty of the cold
weather of
that winter.


@4:01 MC: Was the filming long that day?

GHS: Yes, we had to work throughout the whole night until the next morning.

@4:15 They meet up with LMH. GHS calls out LMH and MC calls him with ssi at the end of his
name out of respect.

GHS jokingly says to LMH: Were you pretending that you did not see us?

@4:43 MC: Has it been a long time since you each other?

GHS: We saw each other about three weeks ago.

MC: Three weeks ago, for reason did you see each other?

LMH: She is so multi-talented that she had a gallery opening that day so I went to support and to see her.

@5:43 MC asks where they sat for the filming of the cable cart scene and both show how they
sat trying not to touch each other.

GHS comments that, that day, LMH had a runny nose that "trickle, trickle down".
Then LMH says that GHS has a runny nose that flow, flow down".

They are just making fun of each other as they always have done even on the set in a joking way.
(They were describing how their nose ran--MH is saying if my nose trickled down, HS' nose flowed down.)

@5:45 MC: Was there any memorable event that day in the cable car?

LMH: I really fell asleep on her shoulder---

MC: Because you were so tired?

LMH says Yes.


@6:18 MC:Did you know about the original work of BOF before being casted?

LMH: It is such a famous original work that I knew about it.
But after I was casted, I saw
the original dramas already made.


MC: Once casted, how did you feel?

LMH: I felt so lucky for have been casted for such a wonderful role. It felt like I won a lottery.

(They visit the Teddy Bear Museum and look around. I think JP and JaeKyung went on a date there. GHS was saying these bears are good as gifts.)

@8:05 MC: In the BOF drama, both JP and JD had many scenes where they really could not
be
very honest about feelings for each other. If you are dating somebody, would
you be any different or same to the person that you are interested in?


GHS: I tend to be honest about those things and express my feelings.

MC: Even before the other person confess his feelings?

GHS: Yes, because I have no patience to wait. I have a personality that cannot wait.

LMH: For me, I think I would be more careful. If I like somebody, I will take a long time to just observe that person and see.

MC: Did you ever receive any special, romantic event or gift from a boyfriend before?

GHS: Yes, there was a time that I did receive such. However, I prefer to give than to get.

MC: like what?

GHS: I have not done this yet, but I would like to get a license to operate a plane and take my boyfriend on a plane ride.

LMH: The person riding beside you would be scared to death! (Laughter breaks out.)

Both LMH first and GHS say their good byes with asking the audience to watch and enjoy BOF and
to take care of their health in hot weather.

Yesterday, LMH & KHS were filmed with the Japanese press while moving to several locations such as Teddy Bear Museum, Mt. Nam San, Cable Car station, a restaurant near Han river. LMH had an exclusive interview at the restaurant near the Han river. and MH wore a white shirt and a black vest. I read from several afternotes yesterday that LMH is really kind. He kindly responded the fans' questions or encouragement during the busy day. I am very proud of him. ^^

An afternote from one fan who saw LMH at the Nam san cable car station where GunPyo & Jandi had a first date. (All the afternotes are from DC gall)
I just got back home from Mt. Nam San.

When I heard the message from DC gall that LMH was filming in Mt. Nam San about 2:20, I decided not to go at first because I might arrive after the filming. After 10 minutes, I could not help going to the location to get a glimpse of LMH.

Personally I am a strict driver but today I drove really fast. I tried to park my car in the parking lot near the Namsan cable car station, but the parking lot was full. I am curious why the parking lot was still open in spite of it's being full.

The working man told me, "Here it is full. Please go to another parking lot." But he constantly kept looking above me while giving me the directions .

"What?" "What is behind me?" I turned my head.

A car is coming. " Oh, my god!! "Cadillac Escalade"

That's MH's car. That's why the parking lot was still open in spite of it's being full.

The working man hurried to say to me, "Go out! go!"

'I came here to see MH'
I parked my car in the next parking lot in a hurry and ran quickly to see MH. His car was there but MH wasn't there. A lot of body guards were in the parking lot and I was looking for him.


I heard one body guard say "Take the Escalade key from LMH's mananger" as he was coming down the stairs from the Cable Car Station.

"MH?" I ran up to the Cable Car Station.

"Is LMH there?"

One Korean staff answered "NO, they left here after filming"

"I saw his car. He is here'

"Yes, he is in the waiting room. How did you know ?


That time, the door of the waiting room was opened. First I saw Miss Koo, then another lady and then MH. After a while, they came out of the room. Today's MH look was the same style as he was in Changwon.

It's my first time to see KHS, she is so beautiful. Her face is really white and pure, her eyes are very big as I imagined. Her legs are very thin.


They were filmed play fighting on the stairs for 5 minutes. As they seemed ready to go down to the car, I hurried to go down to his car.


There were some fans in the parking lot, but the body guards strongly restrained the fans from taking photos. So we couldn't take his photos. What a pity!! I have his image only in our mind. After 2 minutes, MH came down to the car with a bright smile. His face was shining but seemed to have some pimples.


His manager sat in the driver seat while MH sat in the back seat of the car. 2 staff girls got in the car. One sat in the front seat and one sat in the next to MH. Wow, next to MH!!! I was jealous of her so much. What good things did she do before so that she could be sitting next to MH.^^


Many staff's cars followed his car. But my car was in the next parking lot, I couldn't follow them anymore. Can you imagine? My mouth extended from ear to ear because I saw MH up close. If I didn't see him there, I would be still looking for him here and there in Mt. Nam San.



An afternote from another fan who saw LMH at the Teddy Bear Museum in Mt. NamSan.
As soon as my friend and me heard the news that MH was having an interview in Mt. Nam San, I ran there without hesitation; Go !! Go!!

When I was driving toward Mt. Nam San, I saw one car which was very familiar to MH's fans.^^

These days there are a lot of 'Cadillac Escalade's here and there, I checked the license plate of the car first, and that was his car. I was pleased to see his car and I kept going to Mt, Nam San tower.


We went up the tower and looked around. There were some noise from one side. I asked the attendant of the Museum, "What happened?" The attendant answered "There will be a filming until 3 :00. You may have some trouble seeing the exhibits. "


We walked around here and there. Suddenly LMH showed up from the exit door. LMH wore the same outfit as in others' afternotes. MH looked like a college freshmen. KHS wore black clothing.


MH moved to another side. So we gave up following him and went to the second exhibition to see Teddy Bears. Suddenly the body guards came in and asked us to get out of the hall. We came out of there, and we were taking photos of each other .

I clearly heard MH's voice among the noise. MH laughed constantly. What made MH laugh so much?^^

We asked one staff from the museum pretending to be clueless, "Is there a filming here?" The staff from the museum, "Yes, there is the filming for BOF. Bla Bla...there is also an interview scheduled.

"Really, Who came here?"

"LMH and KHS were here."

"LMH? "Can we see him?"


LMH and KHS were filmed walking around the museum and had an interview in front of the souvenir shop and lobby.

We waved to LMH when we came in eye contact. He waved to us too. I couldn't close my mouth.

After the interview, MH went down to the basement by taking the elevator. I heard MH is going to a restaurant near the Han River.


Here is the last afternote from another fan who saw LMH at the restaurant near Han river.
We were outside of the restaurant when LMH was having an exclusive interview with Japanese press in the restaurant.

Since I couldn't see MH beyond the window, I walked to back to choose the best place to see MH by using the camera zoom lens. Through my camera, I could see him but not clear.

When MH dropped out of my camera view, I ran to the restaurant again. Oh, MH was in the car. Luckily the car window was opened, we waved to him. He waved to us with a shining smile. We can't express how cool he is!!!!

According to some fans' messages from DC gallery, Lee Min Ho and Koo Hye Sun were filmed while getting an interview with the Japanese press(TBS?) at the Teddy Bear Museum in Mt. NamSan, Seoul this afternoon.


LMH wore a white T-shirt under a blue checkered shirt, purple-gray skinny pants and yellow sneakers(today the shirt had also a wrong button style.^^). KHS wore a black dress, black leggings and high heels.

LMH & KHS walked around the museum and the press filmed following them. Some fans ran there to see LMH as soon as they got the information about it, but they couldn't take his photos since the Japanese press strongly restrained the fans from taking photos. What a pity!!
