BoA and Jung Jae Hyung enter Wonderland on ‘Running Man’

BoA and Jung Jae Hyung‘s upcoming challenge on ‘Running Man‘ is reported to be on a grander scale than what’s usually planned for the program.

The ‘Running Man’ episode that will air on SBS on April 8th KST , called ‘Running Man in Wonderland‘,  is a continuation from last week. BoA and Jung Jae Hyung will be racing to complete the ‘Running Man’ objective at a theme park on Jeju Island.

The ‘Running Man’ members and guests received their mission and entered a magic door to a strange new land. Items were placed in chests hidden around the theme park, serving as clues to win the race.  There is also reported to be a secret weapon that is sure to surprise everyone.

The secret weapon on last week’s episode was Julien Kang.  Julien Kang caught everyone off guard when he appeared and ended up becoming an important factor to winning the competition.  Members of ‘Gag Tonight‘ will be making an appearance on the April 8th broadcast in costumes. The comedians are said to have made characters that really added to the ‘Wonderland’ theme.

The ‘Running Man’ cast commented, “When we passed through the magic door, I really felt like I was under a spell.  [The 'Running Man' staff members] are making us work constantly.  I cannot keep my head on straight.”  BoA and Jung Jae Hyung proclaimed, “We’re sure to win.”

Lee Hyori’s charms Jung Jae Hyung in 10 seconds?

Singer Lee Hyori reportedly charmed Jung Jae Hyung in 10 seconds, making him give up some of his belongings to sell for her charity bazaar.

The first broadcast of reality program On Style’s ‘Golden 12‘, which is airing on April 5th KST, will follow Lee Hyori while she prepares for her charity bazaar project.

On this episode, Lee Hyori had stylist Han Hye Yeon and photographer Hong Jang Hyun call actress Cha Yea Ryun and Big Bang member T.O.P to ask them to donate some personal items, which they gladly agreed to do.

Lee Hyori then called close friend Jung Jae Hyun and said, “I’m doing a show. I’m having a bazaar so give me something. I’ll go over to your house.” After hearing just three sentences, Jung Jae Hyung promised to hand something over. The whole process reportedly only took her 10 seconds. Responding to Lee Hyori’s boldness, Jung Jae Hyung said, “Okay!  I need to give things that are worth $8,845?”

Jung Jae Hyung did not even ask why the charity bazaar was happening, who were participating, or for any other information, but decided to help out after one phone call from Lee Hyori.  Han Hye Young, Hong Jang Hyun, singer Bae Da Hae and other bazaar participants commented, “Truly a 10-second charisma.”

‘Golden 12′ is a reality show that will follow “socialtainer (socialite + entertainer)” Lee Hyori’s social life and cover the social issues advocated by the star.

IU reveals she begged Jung Jae Hyung for a song

Singer IU revealed that she had to beg composer Jung Jae Hyung for a song she wanted to include in her second album.

IU recently guested on KBS JOY’s ‘Lee Sora’s Second Propose‘, where she thanked the composers from her second album. The list of composers were Jung Jae Hyung, Yoon Sang, Kim Kwang Jin, Kim Hyung Suk, Yoon Jong Shin, Lee Juk, and Kim Hyun Chul.

MC Lee Sora asked IU, “Which composer’s song was your favorite?” to which IU replied, “Jung Jae Hyung” without any hesitation.

IU explained, “I really wanted the song by Jung Jae Hyung so I went all the way to his house. I begged him to give me the song and in the end, I got it.”

Lee Sora couldn’t hide her surprise at IU’s story, and said, “Jung Jae Hyung seems like a laid-back person, but I guess he’s not the type to just give out his songs.”

IU also revealed unabashedly that Lee Sora was a role model to her, and so she sang a cover of Lee Sora’s “Tears” in her own unique style.

This episode of ‘Lee Sora’s Second Propose’ will air on January 17th.
