Lee Bo Young revealed to be ten weeks pregnant

Actor Ji Sung and actress Lee Bo Young are expecting their first baby!

For those who are not familiar with the couple, the two first met in 2004 through SBSdrama 'Save the Last Dance with Me,' acknowledged their relationship publicly in 2007, and dated for six more years before tying the knot in August last year!  Now, there will be a new addition to their happy family.

Lee Bo Young's agency, Will Entertainment, disclosed on November 24, "Lee Bo Young has entered into her tenth week of pregnancy.  She is taking good care of her health and being careful.  As she is with child, she plans to focus more on prenatal care than on production activities." 

Ji Sung's agency, Namoo Actors, said, "Ji Sung is extremely happy about his wife's pregnancy." Currently, rather than being active as an actor, Ji Sung is dedicating a lot of time to his wife and preparing to become a parent.  The baby is expected to be born in July, 2015!

Meanwhile, a past statement from Lee Bo Young on KBS 2TV's 'Entertainment Relay' in November, 2013 is coming to attention as she had stated, "I wish my older child would be a daughter.  It doesn't matter for the second child."

Ji Sung had likewise said on the same show back in June, "I want my first child to be a daughter and I would like her to resemble my wife.  As we have not experienced it yet, we are both curious and expectant."

Congratulations to the happy couple!

SM Entertainment denies reports about a $90 million investment from Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba

SM Entertainment has denied receiving investment from China's Alibaba following reports that suggested the agency received an investment worth 100 billion KRW (~90 million USD) from the e-commerce giant.

SM Entertainment's financial supervisor stated on the 25th, "The report about [SM Entertainment] receiving investment from Alibaba is false... Although we are in talks regarding various businesses, alliances, and other forms of cooperation to diversify our operations in China, the news about investment from Alibaba is false."

The report circulating earlier had suggested that Alibaba was looking to become the #2 shareholder of SM by investing 100 billion KRW into the agency. With this news, SM's stocks soared 15%, but with the recent denial, the prices are starting to fall back down.

Although the news about Alibaba' involvement has turned out to be false, it is the opinion of various sources in the entertainment industry that it is only a matter of time before a large-scale investment from a Chinese company will be announced as SM themselves have revealed that they are currently in negotiations with various Chinese companies.
