Dressed in a gorgeous red dress, Ha Ji-won (female lead of Empress Ki) appeared at the Conrad Centennial Hotel on the afternoon of 26 September 2014. The female actress made her entrance through the front door, wowing the press with her beauty and stunning appearance.
When asked about the preparation process for her latest drama – Empress Ki, Ha Ji-Won explained that it is the longest drama she has ever filmed. Not only does this drama clock in a total of 51 episodes, it is also emotionally demanding. As the show progresses, Ha Ji-Won’s character undergoes lots of changes. From a boy to a palace gong nyeo, to a mother and the political ruler of the country, Ha Ji-Won finds that filming had been tough but the happiest time for her.
For her past several on-screen characters, Ha Ji-Won has been heavily involved with action scenes. When asked on her opinion, she expressed that she has always enjoyed action scenes, despite the risk of sustaining injuries. When filming the horse-riding scenes with fellow co-actor Ji Chang Wook, she suffered from bruises all over her leg. In addition, she took up ballet and stretching lessons prior to the filming to aid in portraying the elegance and confidence of her character.
Many have been curious as to how Ha Ji-Won managed to maintain her flawless complexion despite her busy schedules. To this, she explained that because of filming, she had been sleep-deprived for 6-7 months. However, she placed an emphasis on her diet, taking in lots of nuts and yogurt. Her mom even makes her doshirak (lunchboxes) during the filming process. She encourages all women to do weights to train their muscles and maintain a healthy lifestyle. She even mentioned that she’s proud of her toned arms, and also her hips.
When asked if she’s similar to her characters in real life, Ha Ji-Won smiled and said, “If you talk to my childhood friends, you would know I am no way near my character. But acting is something I really enjoy doing, and I think this is what I can offer to the audience.”
When asked about her opinions on her co-actors, she thanked the two male leads for their consideration and kindness at the film scene. She shared good chemistry with both Joo Jin-Mo and Ji Chang-Wook, and goes on to say that both their characters were distinct but charming.
Ha Ji-Won was surprised to see so many fans at the airport, and she planned on visiting a good restaurant for dinner. She also mentioned that on the 27 September, she will be meeting several fans at the Universal Studios Singapore, and she expressed her excitement in riding the Transformers ride. As she will be visiting Singapore fans again on 9 January 2015, she promised herself to plan in advance and travel around Singapore more the next time.

SINGAPORE, SEPTEMBER 16, 2014 – Sundown Festival is back in its sixth year with a fresh line-up featuring upcoming and locally established artistes from all over Asia with the addition of artistes representing three more countries this year – Singapore, Malaysia and India.
An iconic music festival which brings Asian artistes and fans onto one singular platform to celebrate and bridge the diverse Asian cultures through music and food, Sundown Festival is an outdoor music event, held at the F1 Pit Building each year. Since its first showcase in 2009, the festival has now grown to more than two and a half times in audience size.
Representing Taiwan, Chang Chen Yue, also known as A-Yue, will be performing at the festival, together with Kanika Kapoor, an Indian Punjabi singer known for her song, “Baby Doll”. Girl group S.O.S. from Indonesia whose song, “Drop It Low”, reached #3 on music charts on [V] Channel will be joining the line-up as well as Hong Kong TVB actress and singer Kate Tsui.
“We intend for Sundown Festival to be a signature showcase of Asian music talents which will amplify the careers of these artistes. Having the festival here, is part of our secret wish to transform Singapore to be the Asian music capital,” shares Samantha Chan, founder of Sundown Festival and Red Spade Entertainment which organises the festival every year. “The addition of Singapore artistes is the fruition of a budding dream and now we’re excited to map the next milestone.”
Recognising the growth in popularity of Asian music, global leader in lifestyle footwear, Skechers Singapore Pte Ltd, will be lending their support to this year’s festival as a presenting sponsor. Part of the agreement will allow customers of Skechers to meet and greet the artistes. More information will be released at a later date on their Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/skechers.
“As a lifestyle brand, Skechers has supported breakout stars such as Demi Lovato, Danielle Bradbery and even Carrie Underwood years ago,” says Susan Chua, Vice President of Skechers ASEAN. “As such, Skechers’ support for Sundown Festival is very much aligned as we believe it is the avenue for the next rising stars from whence music talents from Asia will be launching their international career.”

Members Bang Yong Guk, Zelo, Him Chan, Dae Hyun, Young Jae, and Jong Up took to the MTV stage and wasted no time showing why they were deserving of the audience’s enthusiastic screams and cheers. Performing against a backdrop of flashy video effects and dozens of stage lights, the group pulled off an exclusive showcase of their songs in an up-close performance, consisting of “Excuse Me,” “Hurricane,” “Where Are You?” “Lovesick” and ” 1004 (Angel),” which left fans almost hyperventilating.
In between tracks, the boys paused for conversation with MTV VJs Alan and Hanli to answer some questions sent in by fans. They even had a “chilli crabs” dance moment in response to what they love in Singapore, which sent their fans into shrieks of laughter. As fans lit up the studio with their green B.A.P. Matoki light sticks, the boys captivated the crowd with their solid vocals and fancy dance moves. For the close to 300 privileged fans, they left on a high, feeling satisfied, privileged and screaming for more.

Ambitious one-day event includes a carnival, charity run and free concert headlined by Korean stars Kang Gary and Jung In
Tonight Korean rapper Kang Gary, one of the seven hosts of the immensely popular entertainment show Running Man and his singing partner, Jung-In will perform for the first time at the Padang in Singapore. The free concert is part of NTU Fest 2014, a one-day event organised by NTU students that is the highlight of the NTU Freshmen Welcome Week.
NTU Fest Chairperson and final-year chemistry student, Wu GuoYi said: “This is the biggest event the NTU Students’ Union has ever organised. Besides having fun and helping the public to get closer and understand NTU students better, we felt it was important to also use this opportunity to raise funds for others who are less well off financially.”
They made the event open to the public and the concert free. Proceeds from the sale of carnival coupons for use at the 55 booths, and the $10 registration fees for the 4.8-km 5TYLO Mile-O fun run will go towards the ITE Endowment Fund which provides financial assistance to needy ITE students.
“This is such a wonderful initiative and the students have aptly themed it “Seeing Beyond Yourself”. They have indeed looked beyond themselves and are raising funds not for NTU but for needy students from ITE. They have shown that NTU students have a big heart and care for others. We are so proud of them,” said Associate Provost (Student Life), Associate Professor Kwok Kian Woon.
Education Minister, Mr Heng Swee Keat will launch the carnival and flag off the 4.8-kilometre 5TYLO MILE-O Run in the afternoon. The carnival booths run by NTU and ITE students feature a variety of cuisines, games and fun activities for all ages. NTU and ITE students also showcase their creativity, dynamism and energy on stage earlier in the day.
Through organising this event, the student organisers have learnt a lot about the different aspects of staging a mega event like this.
“The three key components of NTU Fest – the carnival, charity run and concert – all brought very different sets of demands and challenges on us. But we systematically worked through them with a lot of support from the University and overcame the unexpected obstacles and surprises that we had met,” said GuoYi.
Their final line-up of 55 carnival booths, 2,600 runners, and more than 30 local and international artistes speaks volumes of their hard work and success.
“We don’t need everything to be perfect and to run like clockwork. This event is so meaningful and a remarkable accomplishment by NTU students. Their success in fundraising reminds us that you don’t have to be rich, powerful or well-established to make a real difference to the world around you,” said Prof Kwok.
The student organisers are grateful for the contributions they have received – both in cash and in kind. These came from sponsors, partners, donors, NTU faculty and staff, NTU alumni and the University. The students expect that these contributions, which are still coming in, will be sufficient to cover the event.
“One alumnus who wanted to remain anonymous even gave NTU Fest $20,000. We were so touched!” said GuoYi.
Besides getting strong support from the NTU community — from NTU’s President and Provost to NTU students, employees and alumni, GuoYi is also very grateful to NTU Board of Trustees member, Mr Kwek Leng Joo for helping the student organisers connect with Kang Gary and Jung In.
“Thanks to Mr Kwek, the two Korean celebrities readily agreed to perform at NTU Fest for free. MediaCorp also came in as our Official Media Partner and besides helping us to publicise the event, they also supported NTU Fest with more than 30 MediaCorp celebrities and performers.
“We are also very grateful to our Platinum Sponsor ST Jobs who pledged $150,000 towards the event and supported our publicity efforts in the various media owned by Singapore Press Holdings,” she said.
Speaking to NTU student organisers before the show, Kang Gary said: “I heard that NTU Fest is a charity event and we are very happy to be a part of it because I love Singapore so much. I’m planning on having a good time today and giving a great performance.”
Fellow K-pop star Jung In said, “This is my first time in Singapore and I’m very happy to be here with Gary and I plan on having fun with everyone at NTU Fest.”
Meeting fans at MediaCorp’s Toggle booth at the carnival in the day are up-and-coming artistes Jayley Woo and Zhang Zhen Huan. Chua Enlai will entertain fans in his comedic roles as Esmond Wan and Pornsak Sukhumvit in The Noose, together with screen ‘bad boy’ Ian Fang, and TV damsels Tracy Lee and Ya Hui. Dashing heartthrob Desmond Tan and beauty Julie Tan will also make their celebrity appearances.
Hosts for the free evening concert are 987FM’s radio deejays Gerald Koh and Kimberly Wang.
Homegrown bands The Huckleberry Friends and District 12, Final 1 champion Farisha Ishak and the finalists of Project Superstar, Singapore’s popular singing competition, will also belt out their vocals for a good cause.
In addition, the new cast of Mata-Mata, including Rebecca Lim, Pan Ling Ling, Priscelia Chan, Cynthia Koh, Divian Nair, Fish Chaar and Rayve Tay will take to the stage to entertain and play games with the crowd.
