I want to know something: Why many of you have that fixation with Korean cosmetics? No, it's not in the negative sense. I just want to know the reason and maybe I can join the club, too.

A brave Korean woman. She earned my respect since A Frozen Flower. But I have to see her in Running Man ;_;

Lee Byung-Hun was born in Seoul, South Korea on July 12, 1970. He grew up in a wealthy family that consisted of his businessman father (who passed away in 2000), his mother and one younger sister. Lee Byung-Hun's sister, Eun-hee Lee, would go on to win the Miss Korea beauty pagent in 1996. Lee Byung-Hun has described himself as a mischevious chlid while growing up. In 1991 Lee Byung-Hun competed in an open audition for television network KBS and was accepted. He then made his television acting debut in the 1991 KBS drama "Asphalt My Hometown." Lee Byung-Hun didn't make his mark in television until the following year, when he appeared in the 1992 KBS drama "Tomorrow Love." His performance as Shin Beom-su provided a mixture of toughness and softness that appealed heavily to female viewers. While Byung-hun began to achieve success in the television drama realm, he initially found little success in the big screen realm. His early films like "Who Drives Me Mad?" & "Run Away" received muted responses at the box office and from critics. It wasn't until 1998, that Lee Byung-Hun started attracting the attention of critics with his performance in "The Harmonium in My Memory" (starring opposite Do-yeon Jeon). Two years later, Lee Byung-Hun would appear in Chan-wook Park's landmark cold-war film "Joint Security Area." Lee Byung-Hun's performance as Sgt. Soo-hyeok Lee, a soldier who crosses over to the North Korean side nightly to visit his "enemies," struck a deep chord with audiences and critics alike. The movie would go on to gain more than 8 million admissions and marked Lee Byung-Hun's first major blockbuster hit. In the early to mid 2000's Lee Byung-Hun experienced more success on the small screen with "Beautiful Days" and "All In" and on the big screen with "Bungee Jumping of Their Own." His next blockbuster hit would occur in 2005, when he starred in Ji-woon Kim's mafia film "A Bittersweet Life." The movie premiered at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival and received strong praise from the film festival circuit. Lee Byung-Hun then made a push to become an international star. He made a cameo appearance in the 2007 Japanese box office hit "Hero." This was followed by his first ever performance as a villain in Ji-woon Kim's "The Good, the Bad, and the Weird" (a Korean film shot mostly in China), the 2008 multi-national film "I Come with the Rain" (directed by Vietnamese director Anh Hung Tran and starring American actor Josh Hartnett), and a supporting role in the 2009 U.S. film "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra." Lee Byung-Hun has also kept some of the mischievousness from his childhood days. The Korea Times reported that when the cast and staff of G.I. Joe visited South Korea, the director of the film, Stephen Sommers, asked Lee Byung-Hun for tips on speaking with the Korean press. Lee Byung-Hun instructed Stephen Sommers to greet Korean reporters with the expression "Naneun baboda" - which Sommers did. Sommers found out later that "Naneun baboda" means literally "I am stupid." [...] Since his debut, the 42-year-old Mr. Lee has starred in 20 movies and 21 TV dramas. [...] In his latest historical movie, “Masquerade,†Mr. Lee pulls off a dual performance as Gwanghae, a Chosun dynasty king, and a commoner who impersonates the king. The movie has become a box-office hit in South Korea, hogging the top spot for five consecutive weeks. Since it opened on Sept. 13, the movie has attracted more than 9.3 million moviegoers and raked in 1.8 billion won in ticket sales. Mr. Lee is also one of a few South Korean actors to have made a successful career in Hollywood. His overseas acting credits include “G.I. Joe : The Rise of Cobra†(2009) as Storm Shadow. He was cast again for “G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation,†which will be released in March next year. He’s also in the process of shooting “Red 2? with Bruce Willis, Anthony Hopkins and John Malkovich Sources: Asianwiki, blogs.wsj, asia247, soompi

Project name: T.M.Revolution (from è²´æ•™ãŒé©å‘½ã‚’èµ·ã“ã™ 'Takanori Makes Revolution') Real Name: Takanori Nishikawa Birth date: 19/09/1970 From Yasu (Shiga, Japan) Though TM Revolution is also a group formed by three people, including Nishikawa (we have Akio Inoue as the lyrics composer from most of his songs and producer Daisuke Asakura), TMR is regarded as "the solo project" of Takanori Nishikawa. Nishikawa used to be a member from Visual Kei act Luis-Mary as Haine until 1993. It wasn't until 1996 that the TM Revolution project made their official debut, with Asakura as Nishikawa's producer, and later in November of the same year, one of the TM Revolution songs (HEART OF SWORD ~Yoake Mae~) was used as the 3rd ending theme from the popular anime series Rurouni Kenshin. His single HIGH PRESSURE (1997) was the first to make it into the Oricon top 10. Nishikawa also performed White Breath on Kohaku Uta Gassen in December 1997. In January 1998, he released triple joker, with more than 1.5 million copies sold and making his best selling album to date. In 1999, Nishikawa and Asakura make an evolution on their project, named The End of Genesis T.M.Revolution Turbo Type D. However, it didn't last long, and as Nishikawa and Asakura were getting apart, Nishikawa returned to the original TM Revolution name one year later. Nishikawa's first self produced work was Out Of Orbit ~Triple ZERO~, released in 2002. And then, there was another era waiting for him. Mitsuo Fukuda, director of one of the series from the established Mobile Suit Gundam franchise, became inspired and requested Nishikawa to perform an opening theme for this franchise's new instalment, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED. INVOKE was born. Ignited, the opening theme from the instalment's direct sequel, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED DESTINY, was his first work to be in the first place of the Oricon chart since 1998. For the third time, he also was part of another edition of the Kohaku Uta Gassen. In 2005, he formed what we now know as Abingdon Boys School, a band in which he is the frontman, and in 2008 he became Guest of Honour in New York Comic Con. So far, his work embodies 10 albums, 5 "best of" albums and 29 singles, among others. Sources: Wikipedia, Generasia, Myanimelist
