Daesung, “I trembled in fear after the car crash”
There is a time in everyone’s life where they think ‘This is deathly agony’. There was a moment like that for Daesung too. This was last August, when he was in a car crash. He never told anyone but he trembled alone in fear afterward, afraid that he would lose his voice after the accident.
“I can’t remember the accident. I was at the hospital when I opened my eyes. When I regained consciousness, my lower back hurt so bad that I couldn’t walk and I couldn’t smell anything. But the thing that scared me the most was that my voice had become like a monster’s.”
On the 11th of August 2009, Daesung was in a car accident going back to Seoul after filming ‘Family Outing’. Not only Daesung, but Daesung’s manager and stylist were also seriously injured. He received major injuries, breaking his nose and ribs and was told it would take 8 weeks for him to heal fully.
“Whenever I thought to myself ‘What happens if my voice never heals?’, my heart sunk to the floor. My job as a singer, an MC, a musical performer..they all require my voice. I didn’t even talk to my mum. I was scared of the company and the people finding out…” After suffering alone, he carefully asked his doctor. “Daesung: What happens if my voice doesn’t get any better than this?” “Doctor: It’s not an uncommon symptom after an accident, but it usually gets back to normal. Let’s wait and see.” So he spent a whole month in the hospital, torturing himself on the inside. Luckily his recovery was quick. But his voice took 3 to 4 months longer to heal. However even now, he can’t smell through one of his nostrils. But even though Daesung has been through so much, he’s still as cheerful as ever.
“Whenever I don’t wanna smell something, I only need to block one nostril. (laughs) It’s such a relief that my voice is back. I thought I wouldn’t be able to talk or taste but I can walk and run and everything. After the accident my way of thinking has totally changed, I’m much more optimistic now.”
This agonising experience also gifted him with the ability to be able to treat every little moment in his life preciously. “During the first domestic concert after my accident, I was given the chance to sing in one of the songs sitting on stage. Seeing the people wave their gold glowsticks around made me feel like I was in a dream. It was such a deeply moving and precious experience.”
Because of his accident, he was unable to take part in the musical he had been preparing and also had to take a break from ‘Family Outing’. Maknae Seungri stood firm and helped lead the musical show without him, and even appeared on ‘Family Outing’ to fill up his absent spot and did his share. They matured together, embracing each others’ hard times.

Talented Scholar Moses Chan Meets Sassy Girlfriend Myolie Wu
(NOTE: Only Myolie parts are translated)
Season Of Love, which started from on Valentine’s Day, 14 February, extended all the way to the Chinese Valentine’s Day, and carried on to 14 March, representing that the White Valentine’s Day where the males returned the gift of love back to the females has ended. Did everyone grab hold of this chance during the romance month to express your love for the other party? Is it a happy ending? But if one finds out that the other party is actually the transformation of a sassy girlfriend, then how to deal with this situation? For this question, you have to ask advice from Moses Chan, this newly-appointed Tong Bak Fu, then on how he tackled Myolie Wu’s version of kungfu Chau Heung lah!
The new drama, In The Eye Of The Beholder, is currently airing, and has twisted the tradition around. It changed the original story of the three smiles marriage destiny between the flirtatious talented scholar, Tong Bak Fu, and Chau Heung. Now, under the enlightenment of the angry Chau Heung, it made Tong Bak Fu realize the reason behind doing a part for the country. Such a special version of this story, in the end, was it that the flirtatious scholar, Tong Bak Fu, whom pacified Chau Heung, or was it that the different Chau Heung tamed Tong Bak Fu? Let the new pairing, Moses Chan and Myolie Wu, unravel this puzzle for us!
Myolie Wu – Swordswoman Chau Heung
Just by looking at the drama title, one should know that this version of Chau Heung is no longer the traditional type! In the past, the feeling that Chau Heung gave people was that she’s gentle and meticulous, and the most doted upon maid in Wah household, making Tong Bak Fu fall in love with her at first sight. But this time, Myolie Wu’s Chau Heung is different from the tradition. She had transformed into a highly-skilled martial arts fighter, and became the security guard in the Wah household. Changing from weak to strong, Myolie acted a really different Chau Heung.
Refreshing Make-over
This time, Chau Heung had a more modern feel. Other than having a very modern feel ancient costume-image, she was also highly-skilled in martial arts. From being passively wooed by Tong Bak Fu, till she enlightened Tong Bak Fu in anger. “The character this time round is different from the past. Normally, the feeling that Chau Heung gives people is that she’s a quiet person. But this time, the producer, Lau Ka Ho, wanted to add some new elements into Chau Heung. My version of Chau Heung is very gentle too at normal situations, but when protecting the people in the Wah household, I’ll be the first to stand out and defeat the enemy. Actually, it’s quite fun having fighting scenes this time. Because there’s this new additional element, it gives people a different feeling. In addition, Lau Ka Ho is good at filming this kind of light-hearted comedies like The Gentle Crackdown. Though Stephen Chow’s movie is very popular and we’re prepared that this will be compared to his movie, this drama is still after all being acted by a different cast, thus there will be different chemistry sparks. So I’ve a certain level of anticipation towards this series. Hope that the audience can have a good time watching it!”
Putting In Painful Hard Work
To become the new Chau Heung, Myolie also put in a lot of hard work beforehand. She specially learnt kungfu from a teacher, in order to do well in the fighting scenes in the drama. “Before the filming started, I learnt kungfu from a teacher for around a month. I practiced for 3 to 4 hours everyday. Initially, the training was very difficult, because the joints of my legs had not been warmed up yet. Each time when the practice ended, I also felt aches in my waist and back. But gradually, the muscles in the legs started to get flexible, and I could kick my leg higher too. In the end, I could do a split-leg pose. It felt really satisfactory, and found the fun part in learning kungfu. When filming the fighting scenes, I felt like I was dancing. The final effects were very stylish too, and I felt that the past hard work which I had put in was worthwhile. Though I’m now busy with work and seldom practise kungfu, but if I’m free, I’ll continue to learn on.
Captions (clockwise):
1) In order to avoid being the shadow of the past actors who had acted Tong Bak Fu, thus Moses Chan avoided watching the past works and acted it out his own way
2) The temple’s fortune-teller scene was a classic one, thus it’s also included in this new drama. Though I had not watched how the others had acted in this scene, I felt that it’s filled with comedic feel.
3) “In the past, there’s definitely a scene of ‘Tong Bak Fu picking Chau Heung’. In this new drama, there’s such a scene too. But there’s also another scene where Chau Heung enlightened Bak Fu. It’s non-traditional.”
4) Though Myolie had many fighting scenes in the drama, she said that she did her preparation well to protect herself. Thus she didn’t get hurt during filming.
 
New Partner At Comedy
Working in a comedy with Moses Chan for the first time, they portrayed a bickering couple. What Myolie didn’t expect most was that Moses’ comedic sense was very strong, thus often making her laugh. “Moses has comedic talent. His sense of comedy is very strong. Sometimes, just by an eye expression, he can make me laugh already. There’s a scene talking about the princess, acted by Fala, trying to play tricks on Moses and I. She tried to force us to eat a raw-food feast. When Moses fed me with the food, which looked like wheat-skin worms, with a mischievous expression, I really didn’t know what kind of response I should give him! I often think that if Chau Heung really meets Moses’ kind of funny Tong Bak Fu, before he manages to win her heart, she might probably laugh to death!” If in reality, she really meets a crazy pursuer like Tong Bak Fu, how will she handle the situation? “Really don’t know. In the past, most of them only sent flowers or soft toys. I think that by wooing too passionately might scare away the girl instead.”
Mainland Information
Recently, we seldom see Myolie on TV. The reason is that she has gone to Shanghai to take part in a Mainland series, Happy Mother-in-law Pretty Daughter-in-law.
“This drama is a little similar to WOIL. It’s a comedy talking about the conflicts between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. The weather in Shanghai is very unpredictable. Often rains. The temperature can vary very differently too. So I was careless and fell ill twice. But this time, other than filming with a group of Mainland artistes, I also can work with Ng Man Tat, Kingdom Yuen and other Hong Kong artistes. This drama will wrap up filming in Mid-March. After that I’ll return to Hong Kong and take part in the promotional functions of In The Eye Of The Beholder. I’ll also prepare for the filming of the new drama in April, and will once again meet with the Hong Kong audience.”

Myolie and Moses seldom cooperate. To be able to act in a comedy together this time, she then discovers that Moses has a comedic talent that will make people laugh to their death.

Charmaine Sheh earns 7-figures in a month
Intro:
Last year, Charmaine Sheh beat out all of TVB’s ‘siu sangs’ and ‘fa dans’ to be the ‘Queen’ in the earnings department – that year, she earned over 10 million HKD. Looking at hear earnings so far heading into the new year 2010: Charmaine just returned from a $1 million HKD gig in Malaysia shooting a commercial for a beauty products company. Also, during the Lunar New Year holiday, she took over for actress Carina Lau as the spokesperson for fashion label Wanko, earning another 7-figure sum. With all the money that she has made so far in the new year, Charmaine smiles and says: “The first 2 months were a good start due to the 7-figure commercial – hopefully the trend will continue…it would be best if there is one of these types of commercials a month!”
Endless commercials:
On the day of shooting for this particular fashion label commercial, it was extremely cold; wearing a thin, short-sleeved dress from the label’s spring collection, Charmaine was constantly shivering, to the point where prior to the shoot, she had to rely on a portable stove to keep warm. However, once the shoot officially began, Charmaine completely forgot about the cold and become very energetic – jumping and skipping around (though she was wearing high heels) as instructed. The shoot turned out so smoothly that even the label’s owner Mrs. Cheng – who was present to help supervise – complimented Charmaine’s performance, commenting that no matter what type of attire she is wearing, she is able to bring forth the special qualities of the outfits. In response to this, Charmaine said: “This time, wearing a ‘career woman’ dress suit was quite unique, as I don’t usually get a chance to wear this type of outfit. I remember when I was younger, whenever I went shopping and saw a suit, I always wanted to buy it because it looked so professional – I never got the chance to experience putting on a dress suit and going to work like other OLs in Central. In terms of the types of outfits I like to wear on a regular basis, I actually prefer casual – a pair of jeans and a T-shirt made of comfortable material. Add to that a pair of glasses and no makeup, and I’m all set.”
With leading role in the highest rated series from last year <<Beyond the Realm of Conscience>> plus her status as top earner in the area of commercials throughout the year, it can be said then that her status as the ‘#1 fadan’ in television is safe and steady. To this, Charmaine replied: “What is considered ‘#1 fadan’? In my opinion, Liza Wang is the #1 fadan in TVB – she is the ‘Treasure of the Stage’ after all! Actually, I don’t view fame and fortune very heavily, which is why I never put any unnecessary pressure on myself by wondering whether I can become ‘#1 fadan’ or whether I can be the highest earner or whether I would get a certain award. The goal I have for myself is not very ambitious – I just hope to be happy every day and be able to smile when I go to sleep…of course, in order to make a living, earning money is important – plus I need to rely on myself, since there isn’t anyone to ‘take care’ of me!”
Doesn’t Care About Boyfriend’s Financial Background
With the fame and fortune she has currently, it seems that being able to find a man who can ‘match’ her financially will be more and more difficult – is she afraid that men will be afraid to court her? Laughing, Charmaine replied: “I don’t know. First of all, the guy wouldn’t tell me anyway [if he were afraid] and second, I would never ask a guy if he is afraid of me. I feel that one of the important things in choosing a partner is whether we have things in common and are able to get along as well as how happy and comfortable we are with each other….I don’t look at how much money he has. I believe that there aren’t that many people who, when they die, are concerned only with how much money they have in the bank rather than their loved ones. In addition, I would never use the criteria of whether the person ‘matches’ me or not because it’s so subjective – you may think he matches, others may feel he does not…the most important thing is that the two are able to communicate well – after all, the relationship is forever!”
Charmaine has been working non-stop recently – after filming for <<Heaven and Earth>> wrapped, she is currently busy with the new series <<Can’t Buy Me Love>>; in addition she will be filming a series with actor Raymond Lam shortly plus a mainland China series that she just accepted. With so much going on, there has been barely any time for her to take vacation or rest, let alone seek out a ‘good man’. Smiling, Charmaine commented: “My upcoming schedule is very jam-packed – based on calculation at this point, I won’t have time to rest until October at the earliest. Therefore, at this point in time, if you were to ask me what I want most, I would tell you that I want to have a vacation so I can rest and enjoy life. I really want to find someone to accompany me to Greece for a trip – one of my girl friends said that if she is able to accommodate with her schedule, she would come. I’m also planning on taking a month off to go back to Hawaii to visit my mom. There are different stages in life – when I first started in the work force, I was young and career-driven, so the focus is on continuously working without regard for anything else…it’s also a time to work hard and take advantage of every opportunity possible to move forward – therefore, I was so focused on trying different things in my career that I was not able to see anything outside of that. Now, more than a decade later, my attitude has changed – there’s more financial stability and I’ve found a ‘rhythm’ that works for me, so there is more focus on my surroundings as well as the people around me (my family). In addition, the year before, my mother went through a very serious illness, to the point of her heart almost stopping, which caused me to reflect and decide that I want to spend more time with her. Throughout all these years, my mom has always allowed me a lot of freedom to do my work and has never complained – therefore, these past few years, I always take at least 1 month off to go back to Hawaii and be with my mom as well as meet up with my brothers. I cherish these moments that I’m able to be together with them – in terms of the company (TVB), they have been quite understanding and have always tried to accommodate as much as possible.
Buying A Car
In terms of plans to buy a car or a house, Charmaine expressed: “I’ve been so busy lately, but recently I did have a chance to buy a car that I liked. Since I didn’t have much time, I only looked at the model of the car in a catalog but never actually saw it in person. In fact, the day I bought it, I left the keys to my old car with the security guard at work and had the car salesman drive the new car over to the parking lot. After picking up the key to my old car from the security guard, he helped to unload the stuff in my old car and put it in the new car, then drove the old car away. This way, after I got off work, I was able to drive my new car back home. Of course, if I were to buy a house, I wouldn’t be able to do the same thing, as it is important to go inspect the house in person.” Wow, Charmaine has been so busy that she doesn’t even have time to go down to the car dealership to buy a car – in a sense, it’s a good thing, as it’s proof that she is definitely earning good money. Congratulations!
