TaNyang Weekly 11/01/2015 ~ TaNyang's Haven

Happy Sunday to you all! It’s busy week for our couple as they’re in the middle of drama filming or movie promotion and fanmeeting.

1. First up, we have long-forgotten Northcape Fall/Winter Campaign featuring Ji Chang Wook and Ha Ji Won. I have long forgotten and forgiven Northcape for all their lacking for JiJi promotions. Though the couple was really famous, but somehow Northcape never promote the brand with them properly. So let’s just enjoy the eye candies instead. (rianse naver blog)

2. Veteran actor Ahn Sung Ki visited musical “The Days” and attended a recent performance featuring Yoo Jun Sang and Ji Chang Wook in the lead roles, and then visiting members of the cast backstage thereafter. Ahn Sung Ki is renowned Korean actor and had worked with Ha Ji Won twice in “Duelist” and “Sector 7”. Another JiJi connection? (The Days twitter)

3. Busy day for Ha Ji Won last Friday, Jan 9. Ha Ji Won attended “Chronicle of Blood Merchant” Press Screening. She’s with ahjussi Ha Jung Woo most of the time. She wore such a flowery dress that we wonder if she’s really fall in love.. hahaha... Though honestly, I think her dress and makeup, and maybe the lighting from photographer makes her look like an ahjumma. Still so pretty nonetheless! COABM Press Screening was held successfully and the media praised it and the lead actors, dubbed as HaHa Couple (Ha Ji Won-Ha Jung Woo). But rest assured, the couple is only for the movie.

4. An excerpt from Ji Chang Wook’s Lady Kyunghyang article, stirs our shippers’ heart as Ji Chang Wook once again mentioned Ha Ji Won in an interview: (translated by JCW Kitchen)

“Ha Ji Won noona whom I worked with in ‘Empress Ki’ is also a school senior. We were able to get closer quickly because we had something in common, so I’m also looking forward to getting closer to senior Yoo Ji Tae (laughs).”

Sure, Wookie, you’re really close to your sunbae during Empress Ki right? (Lady Kyunghyang Jan 2015)

5. Ha Ji Won went to Singapore on Jan 9 wearing bright yellow coat. Her airport fashion is stylish and chic, something you would wish for yourself when you’re at an airport. Hahaha... She struts her way just like a model going on a fashion show and yes, she’s cool like that! (as tagged)

6. Ha Ji Won headed to Singapore this weekend to hold a fanmeeting titled “Bridge of Friendship”. Thanks to the fans there we’re able to get juicy stories from the FM. Here’s the paraphrased story:

The FM started and there’s video messages from Hyun Bin and Lee Seung Gi, her co-stars in dramas. (Why no JCW?) Afterwards Ha Ji Won singing “That Man” from Secret Garden OST. The fans we were pleasantly surprised that HB and LSG recorded the video message and Ha Ji Won said oh she is very thankful for them because they are very busy and even said will treat them dinner. After that the game started and the first game is re-enact Cappucino foam kiss from SeGa but this time the participant asked to create foam in their mouths just like Gil Ra Im. Then the game ended and after that the fan notice her eyes was already on Ji Chang Wook. Funnily, the poster for Ji Chang Wook was a bit off and she went to tear the poster carefully to read the game behind the poster and her body language was very different, very girly and shy. The game related to Ji Chang Wook is archery game and the challenge is to beat Empress Ki (Ha Ji Won). It's really funny to watch. Ha Ji Won also shared the video when she visited Empress Ki's set and said Ji Chang Wook is nice person and very funny guy who likes to joke around. She also confessed about the face-washing scene in Empress Ki where she prank him a lot and there are many NGs. (Oh these two!) Then they also share the video when Ha Ji Won made kimchi at her aunt’s house. She said they made 273 lettuce that day, the MC asked why so many? She said it’s for the whole year's supply and to distribute to all the relatives and friends. She also filmed a short mv in her own house and even introduced her staffs and managers. And actually a lot of fans were shouting Ji Chang Wook’s name. She also sang “Kanguolai” and “Now In This Place” just like in Taiwan FM. Oh, she also said she likes Singaporean cuisine such as Laksa and chilli crabs and promised will come back soon! Cheers, Singaporean fans!

Many thanks to soompiers @qwenli and @coppersun that share their exclusive story. Video and pictures credit belong to the owner.

7. Ha Ji Won on KBS Guerilla Date-KBS Ent Weekly
No fishy part, just stuff from COABM. But the MC teased her if she can cook and while she answer that of course she can, she also said that she likes eating than cooking. Remind me of one namja who likes eating too... You all know that namja right? (KBS Entertain)

8. Instagram Updates from JiJi! What makes it special is that, they both changed the profile picture at the same night! Around midnight on Jan 10! Ji Chang Wook changed first with his picture for his fanmeeting and then Ha Ji Won also changed her PP to her Prestige Magazine picture. Call me delulu, but this is sharky!
