Actor So Ji-seob to Debut as Rapper in Japan 

Actor So Ji-seob (Something Happened in Bali, Glass Slipper, Delicious Proposal) will kick off his singing career in Japan as a rapper.

Nikkan Sports said Sunday that So will debut as "Rapper G" in Japan on Feb. 27 with the song "'Lonely Life." It said So made news in Korea in August when he anonymously released an album comprising two single tracks.

Known for his mega-hit Korean dramas "Sorry I Love You" and "Something Happened in Bali," So finished his military service last year and appeared in the Japanese film "Kita Gegegeno's 1000 Years of Curse Song."

Then, prior to the release of his Korean film "Rough Cut," he appeared as himself in the music video of "Lonely Life" in a project album called G. He then showcased a digital single under the name "G-sonick," hiding his identity.

So has not performed as Rapper G in Korea, so fans are wondering if he will first debut in Japan. So is currently filming the SBS drama "Cain and Abel" (written by Park Gye-ok, produced by Kim Hyeong-sik) as well as a joint Korean and Chinese film, "Sophie's Revenge."

Send Text Message to Lee Byeong-heon

There's now a way you can send a text message to actor Lee Byeong-heon (Happy Together).

His management agency BH Entertainment said, "The feature is included on Lee's official homepage, newly revamped as of last Friday. People can type in their messages which will be delivered to Lee."

On the day of the renewed launch, the Web site went down because of  too many users.

BH said, "The server was rebooted but the site was up again in less than an hour. Fan interest is high. The firm administering the server is still on vacation so the homepage operation will resume early next month."

Lee begins his overseas activity in full swing this year. The Korean blockbuster "The Good, The Bad, The Weird" (in which Lee played "The Bad") opens in Europe, the Americas and the UK on Feb. 6. He also appears with Josh Hartnett and Takuya Kimura the joint U.S.-French film "I Come With The Rain," which will also hit theaters soon.

His management firm said, "Timed with his overseas debut, his homepage has been made multilingual, and in that setting, Lee is inviting worldwide fans to his homepage."
