Michelle est bon!

Michelle has a photo posted at her blog, "Confessions of a Korean Fangirl from the USA", of herself with Oh Ji Ho on the day he departed from Hawaii to return to Korea.

She's very funny, and writes great stuff. Drop in to her blog and say hello. You won't regret it.

She's a diehard K-Fan, and I'm a diehard Michelle fan!

Won Bin Discharged

Due to the severity of an old knee injury and subsequent surgery while on duty, actor Won Bin has been officially discharged from active military service.

The news article at Chosunilbo (English Edition) may be accessed by clicking here.

The potential exists, according to this article, that he"... could face some negative publicity due to his sudden discharge."

My question is:WHY?

Is it possible the Korean public is so entrenched in a dumbed down, robotic, knee-jerk mind-set that encourages suspicion regarding any erroneously perceived wrong-doing where military obligation is concerned, with no further investigation whatsoever?

I would prefer to think not.

Time will tell the story however.

Putting my two-cents-worth in here, I unequivocally disagree with the notion that a man should be criticized for an extremely painful, potentially crippling injury recieved through no fault of his own. His subsequent release from military service is the result of the decision of military officials based off practical considerations. The Army is not a recuperation facility for long term medical conditions.

Get well soon Won Bin! Our good thoughts are with you!

A bit of seroius Won Bin eye-candy for the girls.
