Cartier Selects Ten K-stars for its LOVE Charity Pictorial

A bevy of top K-stars have been selected to model Cartier LOVE jewelry for this year’s Cartier Korea charity event, which has selected the International Vaccine Institute to receive a donation of a portion of Cartier’s proceeds from the December sales of its LOVE collection in Korea. I’m all for vaccinating children and even adults in high risk regions, plus I just adore the LOVE collection which is both meaningful and elegantly gorgeous in design. I came across these event photos because of my darling Yoon Eun Hye and my always handsome Song Seung Heon oppa, but after the jump you can see if any of your fave stars are part of the event.

From left-to-right in the top row: Cha Seung Won, Lee Young Ae, Lee Min Ho, Yoon Eun Hye, Go Soo. From left-to-right in the bottom row: Lee Min Jung, Song Seung Heon, Jeon Ji Hyun, TOP, Kim Ha Neul. I think the ladies collectively look more natural and eye-catching than the men, which is by nature the calling of jewelry hand modeling. However, Lee Min Jung’s the only one whose hand pose veers a bit towards the awkward, but only in comparison to the other ladies.

Another larger picture of a few of the stars. I swear I am being completely objective here, but without a doubt the best pose of the lot is by my Heon oppa. He looks like he’s not purposely posing to show off his LOVE trinity bracelet and ring, but he’s thinking of something devious and he so happens to be wearing fancy jewelry. I do have to give a shoutout to Cha Seung Won for pulling a Dokko Jin-esque pose for his picture, so his picture made me LOL and nostalgic. But I have to chide the stylist for Go Soo, who decided to dress him like a prison librarian when his raw material just screams out hot sexy man.

Jung Il-woo sings a track for for Ramyun Shop OST

The song isn’t released yet, but Jung Il-woo will be featured on the upcoming Flower Boy Ramyun Shop OST with the title track on its Part 3, “Someone Like You” (너란 사람).
Jung plays the delightfully immature, spoiled Chi-soo in the drama, and it’s been a hoot watching him grapple with actual human feelings the more he finds that not everybody (namely, our intrepid heroine) is going to kowtow to his every demand. It’s like Chi-soo’s got the social awareness of a 3-year-old, but wrapped up in an adult body. The song will be a warm ballad that’ll accompany Eun-bi’s (Lee Chun-ah) growing feelings as she starts to see more of Chi-soo’s childlike sincerity. Aw. We’ve sure seen a lot of the childlike, so it’s time for the latter part of that equation to step up to the plate.
If you’ll recall, Jung also contributed a track to the soundtrack of his last drama, 49 Days (posted below), which is one of my favorite tracks from that series. He’s reportedly working himself ragged (not a new state for him) with all-night shoots, song recording, and cameo appearance filming. Busy boy is busy.
Jung’s track releases on the 24th.

Shin Mina is Effortlessly Gorgeous for Rag & Bone

I don’t have enough accolades for the latest pictorials of Shin Mina for Rag & Bone. While I like R&B clothes, I think it’s overrated and passable at best. But after seeing Mina so lovely and comfy in their threads, it’s succeeded in making me covet what would otherwise be pretty ordinary clothing. I like the color photos more, which give off an air of quiet beauty, but the black and white shots shine this clarity on Mina that gives her this inner glow. This pictorial is a giant win, and goes to show that sometimes doing less is much more memorable.

Lee Da-hae’s Los Angeles photo shoot

Here’s a glimpse at what actress Lee Da-hae has been doing since her last drama Miss Ripley, a role that has successfully put her back in good standing, as far as her public image goes. The drama itself wasn’t nearly as dark as I wanted, but she did a good job playing the wounded heroine, even though I desperately wished she’d stop being wounded and just be BAD.
