Ha Ji Won, 34, and Jeon Tae Soo, 27 Job: Actors She is one of Korea's most versatile and well-loved

actresses who recently made waves for her stellar turn in the hit drama series, Secret Garden. Excelling in each role she takes on, Ji Won went from playing an ill-fated Gisaeng in Hwang Jini to starring in movies, jumping from one romcom role to another, before she played a Busan native in the blockbuster hit Haeundae. Her younger brother may have had a few supporting roles in K-dramas but what really got people talking lately was his turn as the unscrupulous ringleader in the 2010 period drama series, Sungkyunkwan Scandal. While Tae Soo still has a long way to go before he catches up with his elder sister we know it won't be long before he scores his first leading role judging from his recent works in All My Love and It's Okay, Daddy's Girl. Ha Ji-won (Hangul: ; born Jeon Hae-rim, Hangul: , June 28, 1978),[2] is a South Korean actress. She is also the Grand Prize (Korean: ) winner of 2006 KBS Acting Awards for her performance in TV drama Hwang Jin-i. Ha Ji-won is one of Korean cinemas top actresses. She started her career playing supporting roles in television productions.[3] In 2002, Ha Ji-won had her breakthrough role as the lead in the horror film Phone, earning her a best actress nomination at the Blue Dragon Film Awards. Since then she has gone on to make films like the Sex Is Zero, Reversal of Fortune, 100 Days with Mr. Arrogant and more recently Sector 7. She has also starred in the movie Haeundae.[4] Ha has also starred in the TV series Something Happened in Bali in early 2004, co-starring Jo Inseong and So Ji-sub. In that project, she played tour guide Lee Soo-jeong, who consequently attracted two men whom she did not like. She won a Baek-Sang Best Actress Award for her performance in this drama.

Kim Junsu, Zuno (Kim Junho), both 25 Job: Idol singers Younger fraternal twin brother Kim Junsu found fame in showbiz more than six years ago when he debuted as a member of one of Korean's most popular boybands to-date, TVXQ (also known

as Dong Bang Shin Ki). Although the boys of TVXQ have gone separate ways due to contractual disputes with SM Entertainment last year, Junsu is still pursuing his singing career as part of JYJ (formed by 3/5 of TVXQ). Junsu's older brother cum former model, Zuno, decided to also give showbiz a try and debuted as a solo vocalist last year. Junsu supported his older bro and lent him some star power by making a special appearance in certain countries' showcases such as the one in Singapore and China. TVXQ / DBSK / Tohoshinkis Xiah Junsu has a twin brother named Kim Junho. Junho entered into the Korean Entertainment scene by filming a commercial for a soy milk company. Now he has his eyes set for China as he plans to release an album there. According to reports coming from China, Kim Junho is planning to hold a fan meeting on March 28th, the album will also be released on the same date. This fan meeting will begin the process of his activities in China. Xiah Junsu will also go to China, participating in various events and helping his brother out. Junho has been known to be fond of the Chinese culture and studied Chinese in Beijing. He appeared on various TV programs in China which received great feedback / response. This probably lit the light bulb in someones head for him to expand into that market. Thanks to Junsuluv@ONETVXQ for sharing the information. Heres a bonus CF of TVXQs Best Selection 2010 album scheduled to be released on February 17th. Kim Hyung Jun, 23, and Kim Kibum, 20 Job: Idol singers and businessmen Older brother Kim Hyung Jun entered showbiz under boyband, SS501, as the group's youngest member in 2005. When SS501 members started to pursue their individual solo careers late last year, Hyung Jun also released his first solo single, Girl, in March this year. He has been on various promotional tours in various Asian countries such as Singapore, Malaysia and Japan. Younger sibling Kibum joined showbiz in 2008 under a group called U-Kiss and his contract was terminated in early 2011. Flying solo now, Kibum is currently focused on developing his online retail business which is also co-owned by Hyung Jun. The younger Kim recently shared that he has plans to return to showbiz and is in the midst of composing music for his comeback. Kim Tae Hee, 30, and Lee Wan, 27 Job: Actors and models Say 'Kimchi please!' to one of Korea's most famous pair of celebrity siblings. Known for their effervescent smiles and charming good looks, this pair of siblings got their big break together after starring in the melodrama Korean series, Stairway to Heaven in 2003. Despite going on an unannounced five-year hiatus from the drama scene, Tae Hee still remains a household name to many Koreans and international fans thanks to her growing list of advertisements which ranges from clothes, electronics, household appliances, and makeup. They made a highly-anticipated comeback to the drama scene when both of them landed leading roles in two Korean blockbuster drama productions (Tae Hee in IRIS and Lee Wan in Swallow The Sun). Tae Hee's most notable recent work includes her transformation as the lost-andeventually-found last-remaining member of the Korean monarchy in My Princess.

Sandara Park, 26, CheonDoong (Park Sang Hyun), 20 Job: Idol singers Often but not, you'll see selcas (self-camera shots) of the close-kitted Park siblings floating around the Internet. Living in a foreign place away from home (they were born in Korea but raised in Philippines) and their six-year age gap probably explains why Sandara is constantly looking out for her dongsaeng (younger brother in Korean) in MBLAQ. She's called "CheonDoong's stalker" by her fellow 2NE1 members and is on the ball of his everyday affairs. Sandara revealed that they tend to "chat online and cam (webcam) together online everyday", in an interview with Asia E and talked about their common goal of opening their own studio together in future. Ain't it sweet to know this brother-sister pair are both working hard in their individual performing careers for a shared dream?
