Following Leo Ku's comic character creation Kubi, he will continue to launch a new clothing brand called HOTDOG. The first 100 limited edition T-shirts will be sold on Sunday in Causeway Bay's "Beam Boy" store. In the future the brand will be sold through online stores in Japan and The United States.
This time the creation idea came while he was doing his concert in Canada. He was eating a delicious hotdog in the street and instantly came up with the HOTDOG new brand idea. The T-shirts will be packaged in take-away hotdog boxes. In 2006 Leo Ku worked with "BEAMS" for the first time to launch limited editions of KUBI T-shirts. This time they have another chance to collaborate together. Leo also flew to Japan to attend the press conference. He said "Last time the KUBI brand was to meet the girls and children market. This time it is to satisfy consumers who follow the trend".

Erotic `Portrait' Fails to Capture Subject
Friday November 21, 2008 Korea
By Joon Soh
Contributing Writer
Shin Yun-bok, the famed folk painter of the late Joseon Kingdom (1392-1910), has received much attention in recent months. It all started last year when a best-selling novel described the male artist as secretly being a woman.
In truth, there is little historical documentation of Shin's life, and none that questions his gender. Nevertheless, the fictional work was popular and provocative enough that it was made into the successful television drama, "The Painter of Wind", as well a new feature film.
If "Painter of the Wind" is a family-friendly version of the historical fiction, then the film, "Portrait of a Beauty", is its steamy, adults-only twin. While the TV series stars the perpetually wholesome Moon Geun-yeong in the lead role, the film features the sexy and feminine actress Kim Min-seon.
Unlike Moon, Kim doesn't quite convince the audience that she is trying hard to pass herself off as a "he". However, this is not a problem in "Portrait", which is less interested in the issue of pretense and more interested in exploring Shin's repressed feminine side. Kim's Shin may be effeminate .....

Chae Shi-ra becomes Empress Cheon-chu
Friday November 21, 2008 Korea
As mentioned in the previous post about Go Hyun-jung’s new sageuk that the upcoming year would showcase three prominent sageuk dramas starring three famous actresses, and the first of those has just revealed its posters. (The other two dramas are Go’s Queen Seon-deok for MBC and Jung Ryeo-won’s SBS series Princess Ja-myung. I’m going to put my bets on Cheon-chu being the big winner, although Seon-deok has some experienced names behind the cameras.)
Here’s our first glimpse at the official posters for KBS’s Empress Cheon-chu, starring the awesome veteran actress Chae Shi-ra (Emperor of the Sea, Invisible Man Choi Jang-soo).
The drama will take over the weekend slot from recently ended Great King Sejong; it’ll premiere on January 3.

Director Miyazaki Criticizes Prime Minister Asō
Friday November 21, 2008 Japan
The Reuters and AFP news services report that acclaimed Studio Ghibli co-founder and director Hayao Miyazaki (Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Spirited Away, Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea) criticized Japanese Prime Minister Asō during a Thursday news conference for overemphasizing his manga reading. When asked about the conservative minister's manga habit, Miyazaki said, "It's an embarrassment. That's something that should be done in private." Miyazaki also downplayed the use of Japanese entertainment to promote the country — as Asō has been advocating — and to raise Japan's youth. The director warned of nationalism by noting, "We learned from the last war that the town we love or the country we love can always turn into something bad to the world. I believe we must not forget what we learned."
