Friday, 8. August 2008, 05:25:01
Current poll results for category no.26, Hot Style Icon:
1. Lee Hyo Ri
2. Gang Dong Won
3. Bi
4. Choi Kang Hee
5. Kim Hye Soo
Single <It's Hyorish> by former Fin.K.L member Lee Hyo Ri turns out to be a big hit regardless of its leakage on the internet prior to the release date. Perhaps she has gained much more and more reputation thanks to catchy and sexy dance moves, not to mention her trendy music genre which is able to captivate numerous fans across Asia. I think she deserves to position of a no.1 female stylist, but i won't deny that her vocal and outfits aren't of my type
On the other hand, if i had authority to this event, i would have devided 'Hot style icon' into 2 different sub-categories. As style of a male and a female can't be defined apparently, it's a bit inadequate, in the same manners, to put them on the same scale to assess who is the more stylish, right? Accordingly, Dong Won would absolutely sit on the King's throne when referring to his in-vogue taste, versatile acting and so on. In short, i like to call this Dongwon-ism or Dongwon-ish style. Well, he seems always busy at the year end~...<Jeon Woo Chi>'s filming in coming september, <M>'s premieres in Nagoya. What if there'd be an autograph session at the last quarter of this year!!! Overworking can help nothing but gain much more love from the audience. In contrast, public over-leveled curiosity about his private life might be a matter of concerns. He must feel agony due to the show-off of his background recently. "Gang Dong Won's father" was the most popular key words on several search engines in Korea during last month. Dong Won's tension must be rushing back again since people show much more interests on his personal identity, outlook... than on his acting ability. Never mind it, Dong Won nim. Just focus on the filming of <Joen Woo Chi> to prove that you're more than what people expect. I always support and long for your convincing comeback with talented actress Lim Su Jung in this project.
Back to the point, Mnet 20's choice seems more dedicated to what is hot and trendy than consitent and dense values. Simply because it's made up for young generations. Of course! Pitifully, there is no place for such actors in their 30s as Song Yoon Ah, who starred TV drama writer Seo Young Eun in SBS drama On air. Song's exaggerate acting plus a nice story plot add more pleasant flavors to her role. Anyway, Kim Ha Neul starring stylish actress Oh Seung Ah in this series at least has a seat in the category of Hot female drama star instead. 'On Air', personally, is not a really good drama but it is worth my watching. I saw there some of favourite celebrities who made cameo appearances as well as obtained more know-hows of Korean dramas' making. Most interestingly, Gang Dong Won's name was mentioned as a top actor in some lines, besides, several Chris.Christy S/S items were also featured by half-Korean actor Ricky Lee Neely in this drama.
So, let's wait and see who are the hottest this summer. The ceremony with final results will take place on August 23, 2008 from 19:00 to 22:00
