Super Junior’s Leeteuk expresses his opposition to ‘We Got Married’ cancellation





Super Junior‘s Leeteuk expressed his thoughts on MBC‘s ‘We Got Married‘ being cancelled.


A media outlet announced that ‘We Got Married’ would be taken off the air altogether due to MBC’s on-going labor strike, and on April 12th, Leeteuk displayed his opposition to the cancellation by writing via his official Twitter page, “No, no this can’t be~ we only saw each other a few times…


Ahead of this tweet, on April 10th, ‘We Got Married’ wrote on their official homepage, “The program will be cancelled on Saturday April 14th, due to the ‘Music & Lyrics‘ broadcast.”


As soon as netizens read the update, rumors began to spread regarding the cancellation of ‘We Got Married’, and viewers began to voice their opinions, stating that they could not understand why the program would be coming to an end.


We are willing to wait, watching the ‘special’ re-runs, but what do you mean cancellation?”, as well as, “What are the reasons for this cancellation? Please take it back!”, and more, trying to prevent the show from being taken off the air.


‘We Got Married’ has aired a few re-runs in February due to the labor strike, and aired a few new episodes in March, but the show once again became pre-empted starting on April 7th.

Kang Sora talks about ‘Dream High 2′, ‘We Got Married’ & Leeteuk in recent interview











It had been a week since KBS2‘s ‘Dream High 2‘ had come to an end, Kang Sora has once again transitioned into being a normal 22 year old college student and she looked extremely well.


The Mini-series ‘Dream High 2′ in which Kang Sora was cast as a female lead drew much attention as it featured some of today’s hottest idol stars. Unfortunately, the viewer ratings didn’t meet their expectations due to fierce competition, but the time spent on the program was meaningful for Kang Sora.


I think it may be the last drama that I’ll ever film wearing a high school uniform,” she said. “Maybe that’s why, but I felt a bit strange filming the last episode. There was a scene where we we traveled eight years into the future, and when we all saw each other we said, ‘What is this? Is this why you couldn’t become a singer?’, and we all laughed about it.”


Kang Sora remarked that she kept in contact with her co-stars, even after the drama came to an end. “Last week, Yoojin (Jung Jinwoon), Siwoo (Park Seojun), and Hongju (Kim Jisoo) got together. It was really good to see them,” she said. “We decided that if the ‘Dream High 2′ friends ever get to perform on a stage together as singers, we would publicly broadcast it. I don’t know about anything else, but I think I’m pretty good at shouting, haha.”



Kang Sora is keeping quite busy these days. Her movie ‘Sunny‘ was viewed by over 7,000,000 people, and she is currently filming CFs, dramas, and other films. Most recently, the actress also filmed a clothing brand CF with top star Won Bin, evoking envy amongst others.


To be honest, I wasn’t too nervous, but the staff members were really nervous,” she said. “My stylists and my makeup artists all got really dolled up and were so careful about their behavior throughout my entire shoot. They never did that when they were with me, haha.”


For now, Kang Sora is focusing on advertisements, photo shoots, and the hit MBC program ‘We Got Married‘, in which she is coupled up with with Super Junior leader Leeteuk. But due to the ongoing MBC strike, viewers have unfortunately been unable to properly see Kang Sora interaction with her on-air husband for some time now.



We got really close after we began filming ‘We Got Married’, but we haven’t seen each other in so long that I’m worried it may become awkward when we see each other again,” she said. “Mid-January was the 100-day mark since the day we met, so I prepared something for him, but I couldn’t actually do it.”


The 16th of next month is our 200 days. I will prepare a special event, thinking of Leeteuk oppa,” she said. Viewers are drawn to Kang Sora’s wholesome image showcased on the show, as she is bright and lovely, knowing how to be considerate of others.


I’m actually a rather quiet person and have no aegyo, but I changed a lot after being with him,” she admitted. “He’s a really thoughtful and considerate person. My parents love him, they think he’s the ideal son-in-law.”



Kang Sora began filming ‘We Got Married’ last October, and already 5 months has passed. Fans are most looking forward to their honeymoon episode, which has been pushed back. “I really like going overseas, but I’ve only been to Japan and Singapore. So for our honeymoon, I would really like to go to Europe. Oppa said he wanted to go to Europe too. I really, really, want to go. I need to go pester the staff about this.”


Kang Sora has played a lot of high school student roles since her 2009 debut, and her goal this year is to play some more adult roles.


I want to play some more adult female roles from now on,” she said. “I really like Son Yejin and Kim Min Hee. They are feminine, but still fierce. I want to play some roles like that.”

MBC’s ‘We Got Married’ preempted again due to on-going strike





Hit MBC variety program ‘We Got Married‘ has once again been preempted due to MBC‘s on-going strike.


A representative from MBC remarked, “Even though we utilize the material we have on hand as much as we can, it is impossible to run episodes on a regular basis, we will inevitably run out of material in a matter of a month.”


Since the strike began, MBC has been airing special episodes, re-runs, as well as the Chinese version of ‘We Got Married’, but the show started airing new episodes again on March 3rd.


But the on-going strike seems to know no end, and with no additional filming that can take place, they’re left with only a small amount of footage left.


In place of ‘We Got Married’ this week, MBC’s parent company MBC Music will be airing ‘Music and Lyrics‘ during the same time slot.


‘Music and Lyrics’ is a reality program that will feature famous actors and skilled composers who will be given 30 days to write their own song. Park Shin Hye and Yoon Gun will be the first couple to create their very own melody.

Is ‘We Got Married’ scripted or reality?





How much is real and how much is scripted has long been a question for discussion among fans of the hit reality show, ‘We Got Married‘.


The question was recently brought up again with the emergence of fan taken pictures of the Lee Jang Woo and Eunjung couple during their honeymoon in Indonesia.


In the new photos, netizens spotted a woman in the back holding up a sign that says, “Let’s eat coconuts,” which they’ve suspected to be a script for the couple to read. The pictures show that the couple does indeed go on to eat coconuts.


Netizens commented, “I didn’t think they’d hold up scripts so blatantly like that“, “Is the show really all just a set up?“, and “Since theer aren’t actual lines, I suppose an aspect of it is still reality.”


What do you think?

Super Junior’s Donghae couples up with Son Eun Seo for ‘We Got Married’





Earlier, producers of ‘We Got Married’ revealed that four members of Super Junior went on a blind date with four actresses, and that two of them would be considered as new permanent couples for the show.


Out of the four, member Donghae was revealed to be paired up with rookie actress Son Eun Seo. Depending on the opinions of the viewers, the couple has a chance of becoming a new addition to the show. Consequently, fans have been trying to dig up as much information as they can on both Donghae and Son Eun Seo.


While Donghae is a familiar name on allthatkpops, Son Eun Seo may be more of a mystery. She’s starred in dramas like MBC’s ‘Flames of Ambition‘, and is currently acting in SBS‘s daily drama, ‘My Flower Daughter‘. Additionally, she is preparing for ‘Love Rain‘, which stars SNSD‘s YoonA and actor Jang Geun Suk.


The simultaneous castings being made by ‘We Got Married’ and its Lunar New Year spin-off, ‘Pit-a-pat Shake‘, has created some confusion between fans and industry officials alike, especially because of some overlapping names.


A few hours ago, Sungmin was revealed to be a couple with SISTAR‘s Hyorin. Hyorin’s agency clarified the distinction by revealing that Hyorin is not in ‘We Got Married’, but in ‘Pit-a-pat Shake’.


Stay tuned for more updates!

Lizzy, Sunhwa, Hyorin, and Seungyeon confirmed for ‘We Got Married’ spin-off





KARA‘s Seungyeon, After School’s Lizzy, SISTAR‘s Hyorin, and SECRET‘s Sunhwa have been confirmed for MBC‘s new ‘We Got Married‘ spin-off, ‘Pit-a-pat Shake‘.


On January 6th, PD Jun Sung Ho revealed, “We recently completed the first shoot with Seungyeon, Lizzy, Hyorin, Sunhwa, and their male partners. The atmosphere was great, and I think it will be fun for the audience to watch the stories these couples create.”


When asked about the male partners, they revealed, “We cannot reveal that yet. There’s a mix of singers and actors.”


He continued, “The female stars showed a side to them that isn’t normally seen. Seungyeon had unique ideas about dating with a strong feminine side, while Hyorin was cool about everything. Sunhwa was also different from the ‘blank sheet’ character she’s known to be. Lizzy was well-loved by the male stars and worked hard to escape her ‘saturi’ image. Still, she couldn’t help but slip in her country dialect now and then, which was cute.”


The spin-off is the dating version of ‘We Got Married’. The continuation of the show will depend on how the viewers receive it for now.
