Actor Song Il-guk Marries Judge

Actor Song Il-guk (37) and a 32-year-old Busan High Court Judge identified only by her family name "Jung" held a private wedding away from the media spotlight at the Sheraton Walkerhill Hotel in Seoul on March 15.

Officiated by the President of Chung-Ang University Park Beom-hoon, the traditional Korean-style wedding ceremony was attended by one thousand guests. Jazz artist Yoon Hee-jeong and singer Park Ae-ri from the National Changgeuk Company of Korea performed nuptial songs for the bride and groom.

The bride passed the bar exam while doing the doctorate course in the code of civil procedure at Seoul National University's Graduate School of Law. She finished her mandatory training at the Judicial Research and Training Institute in January and became appointed as a Busan High Court Judge in February. Song and Jung were introduced by a mutual friend. They tied the knot after two years of dating.

Song's acquaintances said the actor did not want to make the wedding a public affair, as the bride was not a public personality like himself.

After returning from their honeymoon, the newlyweds plan to settle down in Busan.

Song is the son of veteran actress Kim Eul-dong. He made his acting debut on MBC TV in 1998 and has since become a household name by starring in numerous successful TV shows including 'Terms of Endearment,' 'Emperor of the Sea' and 'Jumong.' His most recent appearance was on 'Lobbyist' on SBS TV.

Kangta to Release New Album Before Joining Military

Pop singer Kangta, who was at the forefront of the Korean Wave which swept Asia, will take a break from the entertainment business to finish his compulsory military service.

Kangta's agency SM Entertainment said Monday that he will release his first new album in three years around the middle of this month before joining the military on April 1.

Having focused on working in China by forming the pop duo Kangta & Vanness with Taiwanese singer Vanness Wu, acting in dramas and appearing at various award shows, the former member of now-disbanded boy band H.O.T. is expected to please local fans with the new album of ballads.

Kangta will also hold a solo concert at Yonsei University on March 29 to celebrate the album's release. Because it is his first solo performance in five years and his last before joining the military, it will likely draw great attention from fans not only in Korea but also in other Asian nations such as China and Japan.

Tickets will be available through Internet shopping mall Auction (ticket.auction.co.kr) from Thursday at 8:00 p.m.
The singer plans to appear in several music programs to promote his album and meet his fans as much as possible before joining the military.

So Ji Sub to appear in Japanese movie "Gegege no Kitaro"

Hallyu star So Ji Sub will transform into a spirit in an upcoming Japanese film.

So Ji Sub appear in the film "Gegege no Kitaro" starring Wentz Eiji of the duet WaT.

He will play a spirit the main character Kitaro, played by Wentz Eiji, fights against. The movie is a sequel to the film which is based on the popular manga series by Mizuki Shigeru that first opened last April bringing in 2.3 billion yen.

The yasha (spirit) So Ji Sub plays carries around a guitar that shoots sharp arrows aimed at countries in Asia, and also has musical talent playing each country's music.

Production personnel say they cast So Ji Sub as he fits the image of the spirit very well. One personnel says, "We felt a unique charisma that can express both the yasha's dark side as well as talent."

Meanwhile, So Ji Sub commented regarding his first Japanese work, "I will use as much imagination as I can to express the yasha giving all of myself." He also added, "I know about the series 'Gegege no Kitaro' but spirits such as yasha are not a familiar existence in Korea. If a spirit so cute does really exist, I would like to meet one."

All filming with a special makeup and disguise has been completed but a production personnel added, "Because the entire face is not covered with makeup, you can still see his great face line," a word of relief for fans.

The film is scheduled to open in theatres on July 12th.
