Park Hae Jin, who recently gathered popularity for his role in My Daughter Seo Young, revealed he′s a big fan of f(x)′s Krystal on the March 18 broadcast of Mnet′s Wide Entertainment News.

This day he talked about his luxurious hobby, the female singer he would love to sing an OST piece with and about some nicknames he′s aiming to get.

He also showed his modesty when asked about his popularity overseas, saying, “It must have been exaggerated.”

On his hobby, the actor said he collects Gundam figures and sneakers, and released a photo showing display cases full of the items he owns. He especially said he hoped he could get the shoes he wears to be sold out due to his popularity.

When asked to name a female singer he would like to collaborate with, he hesitated at first, saying, “I don′t know if I should pick a singer I like or a singer that′s good at singing.”

The singer he likes turned out to be f(x)′s Krystal.

“I′m such a big fan of you,” Park Hae Jin said when asked to leave a video message to the singer. “I really want to meet you if I get the chance.”

Park Hae Jin will soon start shooting the Chinese drama Far Away Love.

So many bands. So little time. Billboard is roaming Austin this week, checking out as many acts at SXSW as possible — and each day we’ll highlight a selection of our favorites. On Wednesday we caught Charli XCX, The Sights, a pair of Lung acts (White Lung, Wet Lungs), along with rare visits by Zurich-based pianist Nik Bartsch and veteran power-pop combo Shoes.

f(x) @ K-Pop Night Out
On March 13, f(x) — the first K-pop group to attend SXSW — hit the stage around 1:30 a.m. at the “K-POP NIGHT OUT at SXSW” showcase following all-rock Korean band lineup of The Geeks, Guckkasten, No Brain, Yi Seung Yol, Jung Chang Shik and Galaxy Express. Excited K-pop fans and die-hards lined up hours before the show to catch a glimpse of their favorite Korean act and the 550-capacity venue quickly filled up. “We heard we were the first K-pop group to come to here,” said member Amber to the screaming crowd. “We promise to come back.” Then f(x) performed their hit songs, including “Nu Abo,” “Pinocchio (Danger),” “Hot Summer” and “Electric Shock.” The quintet successfully closed out the first K-pop showcase at SXSW — leaving everyone thirsty for more.

sulli-lee nan hyang

f(x)’s Sulli recently attracted a lot of attention after a picture of Korean geisha Lee Nan Hyang (1900-1979), who was born a hundred years ago, was released.

The picture was uploaded on an online community board under the title of “Korean geisha Lee Nan Hyang who was born at the end of the Joseon Dynasty.” She was a very popular woman at the time for her pretty face and singing ability.

When she became one of the most popular geisha, she married to a newspaper reporter and became a housewife. However, she was so enthusiastic about singing that she received a song from Ha Gyu Il, a popular composer at the time. With the enthusiasm, she recorded the first album with the songs she received from Ha. What attracts the most attention from people is that she resembles Sulli.

Both have big eyes, drooped eyelids, small lips, sharp nose, and milky-white skin.

People who saw the picture responded: “Sulli and Lee Nan Hyan really look alike.”“Isn’t a picture of Sulli superimposed on the picture?” “Is Sulli reincarnated as Lee Nan Hyang?” “I was so surprised by the picture.”
