Joo-won and Kim Ah-joong’s new rom-com Catch Me

Sometimes I wonder if Joo-won cloned himself, because he's in so many things that I often don't know when he could've possibly filmed half of his projects. I had nearly forgotten about this one, a cops-and-robbers romantic comedy movie called Catch Me (previously called Only You), co-starring Kim Ah-joong (My P.S. Partner). The production released the first batch of stills, and it looks like light and fun romance with cop hijinks… which okay, is sort of like that one drama that shall not be named, but you know, better!

Joo-won stars as a detective, which is pretty familiar territory for him. His character specializes in profiling, and he takes on a case involving an infamous cat burglar. Kim Ah-joong plays his ex-girlfriend, and their sweet first love romance runs the whole gamut of embarrassing couple t-shirts and promises of forever made at Namsan Tower. Only… when they reunite much later, she's the cat burglar he's trying to catch. How much he knows about her and vice versa when they meet again, I don't know. But that, I'd wager, is the fun.

Joo-won said in an interview about working with his co-star: "I learned a lot working with rom-com queen Ah-joong noona, and we had fun filming. Noona gave me lots of help, and we looked out for one another during the shoot." Kim Ah-joong: "Joo-won-sshi has mature sides too, and he's so tall that when I'm standing next to him, he feels like an oppa. We relied on each other without having to say the words, and I think we fit well together."

Catch Me is gearing up for a December premiere.

What's up this week with... EXO (Week of November 4-8)

EXO is growing more and more popular as they last in the music scene. Because of the EMA's, they are going up against One Direction (known as one of the biggest boy bands in the world to date) and Justin Bieber (known as one of the biggest names in pop history as of late). EXO fans cannot be more proud of this group of guys because not only are they jam packed with talent, the boys stay humble above all else, and represent Kpop with more than just their good looks. Beliebers and Directioners aren't as thrilled, seeing as a fan war is beginning to ripple throughout the nation of fangirls and fanboys and fanzees. But the EMA's aren't until November 11, so there is still room for the race. Fans better start voting.

At the night of November 7, Xiumin and Lay from EXO, the temporary special host to replace Shin-dong, who left for Latin America for a concert, introduced Korean food in the segment ‘Real Korean’ where they tasted a popular late-night snack ‘fried Gopchang’. Xiumin and Lay from EXO drew attention by eating up Gopchang (Korean dish of grilled intestines of cattle or pork) on MBC Standard FM 'Shin-dong’s Shimshimtapa' as special hosts. Particularly, the Chinese member Lay drew laughter by saying after tasting fried Gopchang,"This is really spicy. I am not good at eating spicy food,” but never stopping eating. Xiumin, who says he always watches his weight, said, "The taste is unimaginably fantastic. Incredible!" and kept munching Gopchang, proving himself as a well-known ‘eating god’.

EXO, one of the best rising stars of this year, will turn 12 wolves which go well with their sweeping hit tunes “Wolf” and “Growl.” Borrowing a concept from fantasy romance movie “Twilight,” the performance will be like a love story that EXO members go through when meeting a newly-transferred girl in a high school.

SHINee will show their previous hit tunes through solo stages as well as splendid performances using a light, which matches well with their team’s name. While BEAST will organize their stage with a concept of ghost, derived from their latest title tune “Shadow,” Dynamic Duo will render their No. 1 hit “BAAAM” with witty performances to deliver its lyrics about a man being used by a girl.
