[NEWS] 120413 ‘The King 2Hearts’ Under Attack for Assumed Reference to Park Yoo Chun and Stalker Fans
Lee Seung Gi has suddenly come under fire on suspicions that he’s dissed Park Yoo Chun in his drama.
After netizens pointed out that a line of dialogue from the April 12 broadcast of MBC’s The King 2Hearts seemed like it was aiming a blow at SBS’ Rooftop Prince, fans of both dramas have been pitched into a battle regarding the line’s original intent.
The dialogue appeared in the scene where Hang Ah (Ha Ji Won) dances to Bo Peep Bo Peep to make the sad Jae Ha (Lee Seung Gi) laugh.
Hang Ah put on cute bear paws to dance out her cute dance, but Jae Ha only started scolding her, saying, “Are you going to hit your stalker fans with those?”
The line, however, seemed to refer to JYJ, Park Yoo Chun’s group, which was involved in an incident in which the members had been accused of using violence against their stalker fans.
The viewer boards of Rooftop Prince were swamped with posts about Lee Seung Gi’s line in The King 2Hearts, asking after the intent of the sudden reference to stalker fans.
Lee Seung Gi’s line probably wasn’t trying to be a direct hit at Park Yoo Chun and Rooftop Prince, but the fans were thoroughly ruffled anyway.
Before the Lee Seung Gi controversy, Lee Si Young started one of her own when she left a post on a DC Inside drama gallery (forum) that said ‘Rooftop Prince will catch up to The King 2Hearts’ and that she’ll ‘bet [her] wrists on it’.
She won’t be having her wrists taken away from her anytime soon because Rooftop Prince recently sprinted past The King 2Hearts, but The King 2Hearts fans have started coming up with movements to watch the drama on time for more viewership ratings, saying they won’t be leaving Lee Si Young’s wrists alone.
The battle between The King 2Hearts and Rooftop Prince is that fierce, and it’s getting more heated by the minute.
The King 2Hearts aired two episodes in a row on April 12, but its viewership ratings have been showing a definite downward trend, falling past those of Rooftop Prince. The King 2Hearts scored 11 percent and 12.5 percent in viewership ratings (AGB Nielsen Media Research) for an average of 11.75 percent on that day. Rooftop Prince, however, is on the rise with 12.5 percent, and KBS2’s The Equator Man is following suit with 10.8 percent.

[NEWS] 120413 Is the Yellow Butterfly the Answer to ′Rooftop Prince′ Riddle?
The reappearance of the riddle – ‘What dies when it’s alive and is alive even when it dies?’ – has piqued the curiosity of the Rooftop Prince viewers.
In the April 12 broadcast of SBS’ Rooftop Prince, crown prince Lee Gak (Park Yoo Chun) became aware of the possible connection between Park Ha and Bu Yong (Lee Gak’s sister-in-law from his previous life in Joseon).
During the episode, the audience witnessed Lee Gak and Park Ha’s impromptu trip to Chuncheon with just a childhood picture as their guide.
Although they found the elementary school that Park attended as a child thanks to the help of a photo studio, Park Ha’s name was nowhere to be found in the school registry. They later found out that Park Ha’s childhood name was Park In Joo from President Jang, Park Ha’s biological mother.
Turning towards a sullen Park Ha, Lee Gak asked, “Is that your real name? How do you write your name in Chinese characters?” After learning of her Chinese character name, Lee Gak explained, “Your name signifies a lotus and a lotus is also known as ‘Bu Yong,’” recalling his sister-in-law from his previous life.
Then, Lee Gak asked Park Ha the same riddle he had asked Bu Yong many years ago. However, unlike Bu Yong who had answered correctly, Park Ha said, “Life, because living is not really living. We are all in a vegetative state.”
After the broadcast, viewers tried to play the role of ‘Rooftop Prince CSI experts’ and took a stab at solving the riddle.
One viewer said, “The answer [to the riddle] is Bu Yong. Not only is Han Ji Min’s name Bu Yong, the (Bu Yong) lotus blooms in the morning and withers at night.”
Another viewer said, “The correct answer is a butterfly. A caterpillar hardens into chrysalis and turns into a butterfly. The caterpillar lives a busy life but his transformation into a butterfly signifies that it dies when it is still live and is alive even when it dies.”
Previously on the drama, the yellow butterfly that was woven into Bu Yong’s veil was brought to life with Lee Gak’s tears and 300 years later, the same yellow butterfly linked Lee Gak with Yong Tae Yong in America. As such, the butterfly appears to be the answer to Lee Gak’s riddle.
Viewers are wondering when Lee Gak will finally discover Bu Yong’s reincarnation as Park Ha and how he will solve the secret of the yellow butterfly.

[NEWS] 120413 Micky Yoochun Becomes a True Actor via Rooftop Prince
The acting potential of JYJ member Park Yoochun breaks out. The acting performance of Park Yoochun who is starring in SBS drama series Rooftop Prince has been praised by audience continuously. Park Yoochun is playing the role of Lee Gak, who is the crown prince of Joseon Dynasty 300 years ago. Lee Gak uses ancient tone and voice and modern tone to speak at different occasions, which is very interesting.
In front of Park Ha and 3 confidants whom he get along with easily, he uses a majestic tone of crown prince, but in front of other people, because of he has to live with the identity of Yong Tae Yong of modern times, he has to abandon ‘the tone of the king’ and speak ‘Seoul language,’ which is very funny, similar to the plot of countryman strives to speak Seoul language in Gag Concert. Not only in the tone, the comedy acting of Park Yoochun is also surprising, who perfect performed the ‘crown prince from Joseon Dynasty.’
Unknowing that he has come to modern times, he goes to Donhwamun Gate of Changdeokgung palace to shout, “Quickly open the door,” and is chased away by the police, he gobbles when tasting the omelet rice for the first time at the home of Park Ha (Han Ji Min), and sucks in the Yakult in one breath as he likes the sweet food, all these scenes have constantly stimulating the audience who burst into laughing. However, Park Yoohun also demonstrates the romantic love acting skills, increasing the tension of the drama.
After seeing the reincarnation of crown princess, Se Na (Jung Yoo Mi), he makes effort to make her to become his woman again. He buys the bracelet preferred by Park Ha to give to Se Na as surprise gift and other ‘Joseon version of proposing’ is shaking the heart of Se Na.
In addition, in order to retain Park Ha who is preparing to go to United States, he buys the painting of tropical beach for Park Ha who loves tropical beach and coconut trees. He stops the bus to airport, and tells Park Ha in the bus, “Now there is tropical bus, it’s unnecessary to go to such faraway place,” and pulls the hand of Park Ha to alight from the bus. These courageous scenes have been portrayed perfectly.
Through Rooftop Prince, Park Yoochun’s acting has been getting a lot of love and praises at the same time. Park Yoochun who has accumulated internal strength of acting skills through the dramas ‘Sungkyunkwan Scandal’ and ‘Miss Ripley’ displays the higher level of acting skills, attracting the attention of audience. He who the acting been re-appraised through Rooftop Prince is impressive.

[NEWS] Rooftop Prince Stands Out Among Korean Dramas that Well Praised with Low Ratings
The focus on Korean dramas by three major TV broadcasters has almost concentrating on Wednesday and Thursday drama series on second quarter of 2012. On the contrary, the Monday and Tuesday drama series has not received much attention. For example, the Love Rain starring Jang Geun Suk and Girls’ Generation member Yoona and directed by famous director of Winter Sonata, and Fashion King starring Yoo Ah In and Shin Se Kyung have much more cheers and applause than audience ratings.
The first 4 episodes of Love Rain uses the 1970s retro style, every landscape, even scene is like a painting, reminiscent of beautiful mountain and crystal-clear water, all dullness, in fact the plot is boring too. In Fashion King, many people feels that Yoo Ah In looks better when starring in historical drama.
As for the Wednesday and Thursday drama, MBC’s The King 2 Hearts starring Ha Ji Won and Lee Seung Gi which succeeded The Moon that Embraces the Sun, SBS’s Rooftop Prince starring JYJ member Micky Yoochun and Han Ji Min, and KBS2′s Man From the Equator starring Uhm Tae Woong, Lee Joon Hyuk and Lee Bo Young debuted at the same time. After the end of 1st episode, audience seems to prefer Rooftop Prince more than The King 2 Hearts, while the plot of Man From the Equator which is giving a sense of heaviness does not attract willingness to continue watching the drama. When viewership rating was announced, The King 2 Hearts ranked top, Ha Ji Won is really ever victorious in miniseries.
Even though The King 2 Hearts recorded the better audience ratings, but audience still think that Rooftop Prince is a better drama. Although it has the theme of time traveling, but it’s relaxing, hilarious and has element of reasoning and thrilling. The crown prince in Joseon Dynasty unexpectedly promotes outstanding talents among the people to official position to investigate the cause of death of the concubine, but the group of four is been hunted down in the forest, and the crown prince and his subjects are then broke into the modern times.
The crown prince who came to the modern world cannot imagine that he has to buy a ticket to go into the palace he is living in, and even has difficulty in drinking water in bottle. Apartment from his three officials who came along with him, nobody equals him as the crown prince from Joseon Dynasty, and most regards him as insane. The PD of the drama ingenuously designs the plot of difficulties in adapting to modern life to be funny. Coupled with funny comic in the drama or at the end of the drama, supplementing with hints foreshadowing future development that are everywhere, the viewers unknowingly try to reason.
The ancient crown prince came to the modern world, replacing his reincarnation. Next, how would PD lead the story? With just a butterfly that gone missing in ancient world, but re-appears in modern world, have made people began to speculate that crown princess who died in previous life may not be the true concubine, but the sister of the concubine, and etc. The reincarnated crown prince has really dead? Will crown prince return to the future to save the younger sister of the concubine from being killed? And more.
In The King 2 Hearts, Ha Ji Won wears a North Korean military uniform to fall in love with South Korean prince Lee Seung Gi. The acting of Ha Ji Won is second to none, and the performance of Lee Seung Gi is also better than his performance in My Girlfriend is a Gumiho. The story also has its relaxed and funny side. But for unknown reason, many viewers are disconnected with the drama. But the viewership ratings of The King 2 Hearts are champion among all 3 Wednesday and Thursday drama. Although Man From the Equator ranks last, the its ratings are slowing climbing.
But The King 2 Hearts’ ratings are showing gradually declining trend, falling by each episode. Rooftop Prince which was in hot pursuit even managed to overtake The King 2 Hearts in episode 6. Exactly which drama will become the ultimate winner? Nobody knows until the end.
Even though the competition among Korean dramas is so intense, but every dramas are currently still following the direction of established script step by step. Temporarily there is no series that plans to change the script to add in absurd plot because of viewership ratings. Even though the dramas may be criticized, but it also has strength, and market.

[TRANS] The Madness Continues in Chile, JYJ in the Magazine 13/20 April Edition
JYJ
“We will always include CHILE in our worldwide tours”
With an amazing show, the south korean group, debuted in our country before thousands of fans who packed the Teatro Caupolicán. The concert was a dream came true and we revive it here for you.
They came, literally, from the other side of the world, and because of that they caused such a great revolution on Chilean’s and other southamerican’s media. But for Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu, members of JYJ, distance wasn’t a problem, in fact they didn’t care about it, so they decided to travel to this large and thin strip called Chile.
After two days traveling -including a delayed in Los Angeles, USA- they arrived to Santiago to delight their thousands fangirls and fanboys, who dreamed to see with their own eyes the amazing performace of the group, that surely they had enjoyed a lot by youtube.
THE CONCERT
On Friday, the 9th (march), at 9 pm, lights turned off in the Teatro Caupolican, and the craziness of the audience started. Images of the boys showed in two big screens were the perfect prelude for the show. As soons as the first chords for “Empty” started, JYJ appeared in the scenario with very eye-catching red suits. The hysteria of the fans was mixed with the happiness to see them at just a few meters of distance.
“Ayyy Girl” and a remix of “Be my Girl” continue the show, that was interrupted for their individual introduction, the ment. The songs “I love you” (Yoochun), “I will protect you” (Jaejoong), and “Intoxication” (Junsu) surprised the fans. Especially the last one, that was brilliantly danced and performed. Night went on, and the show interspersed songs with great videos -one of them made in Santiago- to have time in order to change their outfit.
Despite the language barrier, the boys of JYJ were really eager to communicate with the crowd. So, with two translators, they made a very moving speech, and then interacted with their fans.
The response didn’t wait, and between screams, and the classic “mijito rico” (T/N: In Chile you use that to say that a boy is super-ultra hot/handsome/yummy/etc xD), girls asked for “La colita”, although they were surprised, they agreed happily and said they were never asked to do something like that. They also said it was incredible to be in South America, that everything was like a dream, and they were so amazed by the country that they made a promise: “We will always include Chile in our worldwide tours” .
When everything seemed to be ending, the boys were back in the scenario, and they trully turned the theater into an electronic party. They sang and danced the remixed versions of “Get Out” and “Empty” leaving every single soul with the energy sky-high. The concert ended with a goodbye video and fans didn’t move from their place till it was finished. Many of them bursted into tears inconsolably. Without noticing that Kpop phenomenon is going to last on for a while yet.
“MUSIC CONNECT US”
The same they JYJ arrived to Chile, they made a press conference at Hotel W. And we will tell you the details of it now.
HOW DID YOU FEEL THE RECEPTION OF FANS WHEN YOU ARRIVED TO CHILE?
- We had never travel like this, two days more or less, we got to know how difficult was to reach to a country in South America, but when we entered to the airport and we saw all the fans, all the tireness of the journey inmediatly dissapear. In Chile we found out people greet each other with a kiss on the cheek, at the airport, a fan approached to me to greet me, he was taller than me so I couldn’t do anything -laughs-.
DO YOU THINK K-POP WILL BE ABLE TO ENTER TO SOUTH AMERICAN MUSICAL MARKET DESPITE LANGUAGE BARRIERS?
- In our country, pop, in any language, is recognized. Music is a language that connect everybody, so the rhythm and passion is a real feeling. I think it’s possible.
AFTER THIS WORLDWIDE TOUR… WHAT IS JYJ GOING TO DO?
- South America is the end of our worldwide tour, we don’t know the exact date, but in june or july, summer time in Korea, we have planned to release our second album. We think at the end of this year we are going to start our new tour.
YOU ARE WORKING IN YOUR NEW ALBUM. DO YOU HAVE PLANNED TO INCLUDE ANY SONG IN SPANISH?
- I really appreciate your question. In our history as a band, we have made japanese, and english songs, therefore, we think someday we are including songs in Spanish, which will help us to learn and understand a little bit more of this language.
