Haptic Pop



Where anything to do with BOF turns to gold, Samsung takes on Kim Hyun Joong after his F4 makeover for their Haptic POP campaign. There’s plenty reason for doing so since the new model is supposedly trying to revive the good ol’ days of swappable phone covers. The Haptic POP touchscreen handset comes with 5 different battery covers and if that’s not enough, you can choose from a limited F4 edition and 11 more designs at the shops. The 16 spanking battery covers come with their own customized ringtones, wallpapers and widgets.

Drama Becomes Real Life



In an interview Goo Hye Sun had at the hospital on the 28th, she revealed,"Thanks to Lee Min Ho I got to get to the hospital quickly to receive treatment."

"After the accident occurred, a van that looked a lot like Lee Min Ho's passed by. With my head ringing, I slightly remember thinking, 'I wish that was Min Ho's car.' As the car door opened, it turned out that it was really Min Ho, and he began to run toward us. At that time he looked like the savior of the world. Had I gotten to the hospital any later, my recovery would have been later as well. I was so thankful."

Goo Hye Sun's car collided with a dump truck that was driving ahead of them. Lee Min Ho took Goo Hye Sun all the way to the hospital, and then proceeded to go back to filming. He then attended the award ceremony with the rest of his cast. However, Lee Min Ho and his representatives kept the incident(where LMH helped GHS) quiet.

Goo Hye Sun watched the award ceremony on TV. "I was shocked when I saw Lee Min Ho fall on the red carpet. I laughed without even knowing. I thought the stitches in my mouth had come undone(laughs). Lee Min Ho and Kim Hyun Joong came to visit after the ceremony. I was very thankful. It must not have been easy to make time when they had such a busy schedule."

She expressed her happiness when she saw her two co-stars receiving the awards.

Currently, Goo Hye Sun has 3 stitches inside of her lip. The swelling was bad enough to halt production. Because of this, they will be showing a special instead of episode 17 on the 2nd. Goo Hye Sun hopes to return to filming as early as the 2nd. She is scheduled to go back to the hospital on the 5th to take out the stitches.

Goo Hye Sun's account of the accident
"It was really fortunate that it was a minor accident. It's kind of hard to talk(because of the swelling)."

"Right after the collision, I took a bandage that we keep in the car and wrapped it around my lip area after I realized I was bleeding. Thankfully, I became very awake(probably because of the adrenaline), so I was able to react very soon. I got out the the car with my coordinators(she calls them dong sengs). It was amazing how awake I was after the collision, we might as well have taken our back packs with us. They(dong sengs/coordinators that were in the car with her) laugh as they talk about what happened back then. It really is fortunate that it was only a minor accident."
