Catch a sneak peek of KARA’s Goo Hara on SBS’s “Running Man”!
KARA’s Goo Hara and Noh Sa Yeon recently appeared in front of Seoul’s Ewha Woman’s University, which caused the streets to instantly flood with people.
On June 7th, a netizen posted pictures on the online community Bestiz, saying, “Goo Hara who appeared at Ewha Woman’s University with Kim Jong Kook and Haha.”
It appears that Goo Hara, Kim Jong Kook, and Haha visited Ewha Woman’s University to film for an upcoming episode of SBS’s “Running Man“.
In the photos, Kim Jong Kook and Haha are found carrying Goo Hara, while Yoo Jae Suk and Gary are carrying Noh Sa Yeon in front of the Ewha Woman’s University main gate. Their black suits make it seem like they are serving as Goo Hara’s and Noh Sa Yeon’s bodyguards. Meanwhile, Goo Hara is wearing a red one piece, making you think of her role as the president’s daughter in the drama “City Hunter“.
Fans commented, “Looks like Goo Hara was not heavy at all for Kim Jong Kook and Haha“, “Goo Hara is really pretty“, and “Looks like I’m going to have to watch this“.
T-ara’s Jiyeon is into girls for ‘Miss Ripley'
T-ara’s Jiyeon took on a surprising role for MBC’s ‘Miss Ripley‘ On June 6th!
Fans got to see the young idol tackle a challenging part as ‘Yu’, the daughter of the Japanese Prime Minister. Yu was staying at a hotel in Korea, and caused panic when she slipped away secretly.
Actress Lee Da Hae, who played the role of ‘Jang Miri’, was sent out on a search for Yu, and finally found her at a ‘Hallyu Concert’. During this entire process, it was revealed that Yu was a lesbian. Yu was interacting mysteriously with her female friend, and Jang Miri later discovers that was the reason why Yu stole away from the hotel; she was ‘rebelling’ against her father, who was opposed to the relationship.
To persuade Yu to go back, Jang Miri lies to her by saying, “I’m a lesbian, just like you.”
She also tries to gain Yu’s sympathy by telling her that her father died because of her, and so Yu should try to avoid making the same mistake that she did.
In the end, Yu returns to the hotel and even thanks Jang Miri for telling her the story about her father.
Viewers commented, “It was shocking that a high schooler acted as a lesbian” and “Although it was a short appearance, her acting was very good”.
Check out Jiyeon’s acting below!

SBS’s “Kiss & Cry” makes broadcast schedule changes to avoid embarrassment
Although SBS’s “Kim Yuna’s Kiss & Cry” changed their broadcasting time, they once again witnessed the humiliation of having their viewer ratings drop.
On June 6th, AGB Nielson Media Research recorded the viewer ratings of the June 5th broadcast of “Kiss & Cry” as 5.7%, which is 2.5% lower than their May 29th broadcast, which came in at 8.2%.
“Kiss & Cry” was broadcast during the second segment of the “I Like Sunday” corner for the first time, as “Kiss & Cry” had previously been broadcast in the first segment at 5:20 PM. ”Kiss & Cry” was the follow-up program to “Heroes” and its time slot was switched with “Running Man“, which was originally aired during the first segment, in hopes of better ratings.
However, though the show was placed in the first segment to generate better ratings, it faced competition from MBC’s “I Am A Singer” and KBS 2TV’s “Qualifications of Men“.
Therefore, its order was switched with “Running Man” once again, but it had an embarrassing result when the show received lower ratings than before. On the other hand, “Running Man” had 7.0% viewer ratings, which exceeds their previous week’s 6.2% rating.
On that particular day, the competing shows had the following ratings: KBS 2TV’s “1 Night, 2 Days” recorded 25.9% and MBC’s “New Employee” came in at 4.5%.
