Lee Byung Hun ~ a cut above

Oh definitely Laughing It was alittle strange seeing LBY in a role like that though! Did you? Some net users claim his scenes with Choi Ji-woo was one of the reasons for his break-up with Song Hye-kyo. I don't know how much truth there is to it though, coz I thought it was more an issue of their views towards marriage.

LEE BYUNG-HEON DEBUTS AS JEWELRY DESIGNER IN JAPAN

At a press conference held in Tokyo on Sept. 29, hallyu star Lee Byung-heon announced his plans to debut as a jewelry designer for the Japanese jewelry brand Samantha Tiara.

The Japanese sports daily Sports Nippon reported on Sept. 30 that Lee--the first male promotion model/designer of the brand--will design necklaces for both men and women featuring a cross and his lucky number 7.

At the press conference, Lee said it was not easy to create products that can appeal to many customers.

"Lees products designed for women will be released on the market on Oct. 3, while the release date and price of the male products are yet to be announced. The price of a female necklace packaged with a card bearing a message from Lee and his photo is 100,000 yen (about one million won). All buyers will be invited to a Christmas event that will be organized by the brand in December and will feature the actor," wrote Sports Nippon.

Lee Byung-heon figure doll to be released to market in Japan

Actor Lee Byung-heon will soon become the first hallyu star to have his figure doll produced in Japan. The Japanese sports daily Sankei Sports wrote on Sept. 16 that figure dolls featuring Lees character in the movie Bungee Jumping of Their Own will be released to market on Sept. 20.

A figure doll is an almost perfect mini-replica of movie, cartoon and game characters.

The 19-centimeter tall Lee Byung-heon figure doll features Lees character from the movies best scenes and even has the smallest details perfectly replicated. "'Bungee Jumping of Their Own' drew the spotlight in Japan when it opened [there] last spring, and is Lees favorite work so far. To Lees fans, this figure doll is likely to become their most treasured possession," wrote the daily.

Sankei Sports also added that despite the growing popularity of many other hallyu stars in Japan, such as Bae Yong-jun, Won Bin and Jang Dong-geon, Lee was the first to have a figure doll produced.

aww... c'mon... watch his shows.. try hard not to get caught in the hysteria of it all

Laughing

btw, i'm trying to get the lot together on 15th to "celebrate Oktoberfest".. do come along if you can Wink

miss_soojung SG

There will be sauerkraut, bratwurst, gegrillte schweinshaxe and all kinds of German fare? Bier goes without saying, of course ... Laughing

Where're you guys planning to meet up?

the Bear SG

i put a thread up.. probably haggle for a while, but first place up for haggling is Paulaner Brauhaus Wink

unless there are others, we're pretty happy to go... mostly, it's the company Wink

miss_soojung SG

Hmm ... last time I was at Paulaner I had to roll out of the place Laughing

Marche usually celebrates Oktoberfest but this year its emphasis is alittle different, I think. Wines and food cooked in wine or some such thing.

I remember having wurst and bier at a cute eating niche somewhere in Suntec but that was afew years back. Again I had to roll out! It must be something to do with the portions served Confused Laughing

Will keep a look out over at your Club30 thread Smile Thanks again for the invite!

Lee Byung-hun to set up fan club in Japan

Actor Lee Byung-hun, nicknamed Byonsama in Japan, will soon launch a fan club in that country in a joint effort with Hakuhodo DY, a subsidiary of the influential Japanese advertisement agency, Hakuhodo. The firm has agreed to provide active support to set up a fan club for Lee, who is often described as a hallyu blue chip.

The club, entitled Lee Byung Hun Japan Official, will be unveiled in November. Hakuhodo DY, which highly regards the actors popularity in Japan, will take charge of the clubs founding and overall management by capitalizing on its extensive marketing knowledge.

Although the operation of Lees unofficial fan Web site has been suspended ahead of the clubs launch, the number of its visitors has exceeded 10 million recently, attesting to the actors skyrocketing popularity in Japan.

Meanwhile, Hakuhodo DY has staged various pre-launch marketing events recently, such as posting advertisement banners on Tokyos downtown buses and running ads in the press in a bid to publicize the creation of Lees official fan club.
