  1. Wonderful Days (2014) Park Bo Gum to Lee Seo Jin

Park Bo Gum as the young Kang Dong Seok before changing to Lee Seo Jin as the older version of Kang Dong Seok after 15 years.

2. Man From the Equator (2012) Lee Hyun Woo to Uhm Tae Woong

Lee Hyun Woo as the young version before changing to Uhm Tae Woong as the older version after 1 year.

3. Stairway to Heaven (2003) Lee Wan to Shin Hyung Joon

The scene where Lee Wan suddenly changes to Shin Hyung Joon while riding the carousel is famous.

The reaction was, “How did Lee Wan change to an alien?”

4. Moon Embracing the Sun (2012) Im Si Wan to Song Jae Hee

Im Si Wan and Song Jae Hee both played the character Heo Yeom. 4 years after the drama ended, Jae Hee said on a variety show that he heard, “Just let Im Si Wan play the character’.

Video: Jaehee was flooded with mean comments during ‘Moon Embracing the Sun’? [Happy Together/2017.07.06]
The clip is here.

5. The King and I (2007-2008)

This sageuk drama features transitions where some actors lose or gain double eyelids making viewers feel awkward.

6. 20th Century Boy and Girl (2017) Kang Mi Na to Han Ye Seul

Although it was Kang Mi Na in the past photos of the character, it was Han Ye Seul as the adult actress. There is no similarity at all, making the flow less smooth.

7. Giant (2010) Kim Soo Hyun to Park Sang Min

Kim Soo Hyun was the child actor before Park Sang Min took over. However, this caused many to feel less immersed due Kim Soo Hyun’s and Park Sang Min’s faces looking too different.

8. All In (2003) Han Ji Min to Song Hye Gyo

Han Ji Min debuted as a child actress through the drama All In. It is not that ‘they look way too different’, but it was because Han Ji Min’s character was a high school student but she was only a year younger than Song Hye Gyo in real life.

Compared to Korean entertainment industry, Chinese celebrities are demanded to be skinnier. It is preferable that celebrities are skinny, no matter male or female. If a female celebrity gains a little weight or muscle, it becomes an issue on social media. Considering this, many female celebrities move and exercise a lot but eat little to maintain their body shape. Let’s have a look at celebrities who are so skinny they almost disappear in order to show a perfect on-screen image.

[+27, -1] They look sick. They are not just skinny, they are beyond skinny…

[+15, -1] It is not just China, French models also have serious eating disorders. I hope that moderate slimness and healthy beauty becomes the beauty standard.

[+10, -0] They must be so skinny in real life, up to the standard of African starvation.

[+9, -0] Do you have to put emphasis by drawing circles?
They are going to get osteoporosis and other health problems when they age.

[+5, -0] I heard that celebrities look good in photoshoots and broadcasts, but in real life they look pitifully skinny. They look like they have gained weight if 3D is changed to 2D image. In terms of career, celebrities feel the need to look better on broadcast than in real life, so they practise severe diets. Even though they are being professional about this, they look like they are suffering. But some of them look severely skinny even in 2D… Is your health alright?

[Naver Post] ‘I Live Alone’ Kian84’s hellish gym routine by Yang Chi Seung

In ‘I Live Alone Episode 331’, gym trainer ‘tiger’ Yang Chi Seung seeks to train Kian84 for the latter’s magazine shoot. Yang Chi Seung transforms into the regular trainer he is to train Kian84. Let us follow how Yang Chi Seung’s hellish training as shown on broadcast.

  1. Floor Push-up

Push-up is good for the basic development of the chest. The wider you place your arms, the better it will train your outer pectoral muscles. The narrower you place your arms, the better it will train your inner chest muscles. If you wish to raise the sagging side line, place your arms wide apart. To tighten your chest muscles, place your arms less wide.

2. Bent-over Lateral Raise

It is a very effective exercise for the development of the rear triceps. This can be difficult for beginners, as it can put a strain on your back just by posture. So you need to balance the core with the overall balance and focus on the rear triceps.

  1. Stand up straight with both of your arms placed as wide as your shoulders with your upper body slightly bent. With your elbow slightly bent, grab the dumbbell with a neutral grip and place it in front of the shin. Both knees are slightly bent and centered firmly.
  2. With your arms wide open to the left and right, lift the dumbbell to shoulder height quickly and slowly lower back to position 1. Keep your back flat and your elbows bent slightly throughout the action. Repeat steps 1 and 2.

[Pann] Friend who does not initiate contact

Lately I have been feeling doubtful.

I have a friend since high school whom I consider my best friend. She has never initiated contact except once (That time she wished me all the best for exam… so I thought this friend has always been of this personality.

Now that we are in our mid 20’s, I always thought until now if that it is not important who contacts first, so I continued to contact my friend.

But now, I feel suspicious. If I do not contact first, will she not contact me until the day of death, what kind of friend is this.. I keep feeling this way.

I have been thinking whether to contact or not all the time, that I have stopped contacting her.

Just thinking about how much do we have to put up in the matter of human relationships..

I am a little bitter.

[+90, -40] Euk… it is like my story so it is a little spine-chilling ㅋㅋ I am the type who does not contact first, and it is not that I am complicated, I just do not do it;; This involves not friends, but also all of my personal connections. It is not like I do not like to do it, it seems like it is just that I am busy from day to day that I do not have a clear mind.

[+58, -2] Yes, do not do it. It is better for your peace of mind to just cut contact now.

[+54, 0] Please do not get stressed from human relationships. The relationship that one wants will come eventually.

[+14, -11] Sigh, you are in you mid 20’s stop playing bestfriend games, please just live your life.
