Like they did for Chuseok, Kpop celebs have dressed up in traditional hanboks to wish you a Happy New Year and they look oh so cute!

It’s tradition for the Kpop celebs to get dolled up for the holidays, and why wouldn’t they? It’s the only time we get to see them in traditional clothing. So I rounded up a few photos of them (old and new) in celebration of the New Year.

Which Kpop celeb do you think looks best in a hanbok? Personally I love Lee Junki but he’s had experience thanks to Iljimae!

The most highly anticipated series, “the Korean Hana Yori Dango“, has now locked down on their cast. We all know that Gu Hye Seon is going to play Makino Tsukushi but who else is there? Han Chae Young has been casted to play Kim Hyun Joong’s love interest (Todo Shizuka is Hanazawa Rui’s love interest), Kim So Eun will play Gu Hye Seon’s best friend (Matsuoka Yuki) and last but not least are Kim Hyun Joo as Lee Min Ho’s older sister (Domyouji Tsubaki) and Jeon In Hwa as his mom (Domyouji Kaede).

I’m really disappointed with the F4 boys after hearing about the ladies but I have high hopes for the other parts of the series. Looking at screenshots it seems that they’ll be copying the original story almost exactly.

Unlike Meteor Garden (Taiwanese version), this HYD version will be set in High School like the original story. Also while the Japanese HYD didn’t go to the states till the 2nd season, Korea has stepped up by filming in the states already.
