Shin Dong-wook’s fan club treats drama staff to holiday meal
by javabeans
As nice as it is to hear about stars giving gifts to their drama crews, I’m always more impressed to hear about stars’ fans shelling out their hard-earned cash to give gifts to drama crews in the name of their favorite actors.
Shin Dong-wook is the latest actor to have his fans mobilize on his behalf; members of his official fan club sent a holiday meal for the staff of Shin’s current drama, Wish Upon a Star, on the evening of February 12. The gesture was a combined Lunar New Year and Valentine’s Day offering — traditional holiday dduk-gook (rice-cake soup) for the former and chocolates for the latter. Despite Lunar New Year being a pretty big holiday, most drama productions worked through the weekend without time off.
A member of the drama’s staff said, “Because of the filming schedule, we had to shoot through the holiday, but we were really thankful to the warm-hearted care of Shin Dong-wook’s fans.”
After a week off to make way for Olympics specials, Wish Upon a Star will air its next episodes next week.

Even though his character is not very pleasant in this series and rather confusing, i still like him very much. He has this aura that's very likeable. Even if he plays an evil character, it would still be hard to not like him. In fact i would love to see him in a evil character in next series.
I hope he can be lead in the next drama.

Yatta!! So happy they'll stil have episodes next week!! ^_^
Banzai! Banzai! Banzai!
On another note, SDW is such a cutie in SFFTS... his acting has always been great but his face in SFTTS is really highlighted for some reason!

Aw, such a sweet, thoughtful gesture from fans! ^^
SDW fans FTW!
The other two leads may not have had a fanbase prior to this drama but they will now, 'tis inevitable! I'm sure each of the kids will have established fan clubs come the close of this series too. I'd totally enlist in Pa-rang's! Cuteness!
SDW is no doubt an excellent actor, he deserved the lovin'. The three characters (that I'm so far aware of) he's played so far in Soulmate, Money's Warfare and here couldn't be any more different. So versatile.
SDW, I (Sarang) U!

I understand some fans' dedication to their idols, but I think I'll keep my pocket change or give it to a worthy cause.

I know, eh. Fans giving out their hard-earned cash (not just a token) for their favorite stars is something that makes no sense to me, economically speaking.

Well, if it weren't for "fans" many actors/actresses would fall by the way side. That goes for singers also. When you choose to become a public figure, there are consequences....mainly it's loss of privacy. So I give credit to those who acknowledge their fans. Living a dream or fantasy works for both worlds!
I've been a part of both worlds....it's a humbling experience. :-)

@Shin Dong Wook fans
I fell for him since Cloud Stairs ( with Han Ji Hye). It's a older drama (2006), so good luck in finding it. SDW was sooo good there, and I have to warn you guys, it's a 2 hankies (cries a lot for this kdrama). ;)

I agree with Soni and Pully. I don't understand the lengths some fans would go to for their favorite star. Some spend THOUSANDS to follow them around ... attending every fan meet and appearance they can and buying up the memorabilia. Now, I do understand that it's their money and they can do whatever they want with it, but in this case, I would have been a helluva lot more impressed if those fans provided the ddeok guk and chocolates to an orphanage or elderly care facility in Shin Dong Wook's name.

7 Icarusfalls - Oooh chincha?? (really?)
I must admit I'm a wee bit intimidated by the viikii community, but I may just join, for adorable little Pa-rang's sake.
I adore all five kids, but Pa-rang had the most pivotal role, he humanised, thus hottified uri Kang-ha oppa, thus I love him that much more for it. Gaahhh!

@19 su-pah
You're most welcome. Enjoy (when you find it). I found it about a year ago on youtube, but it has since removed. I really liked the OST and thankfully found it in my local korean DVD/CD store. I'm ashamed to admit that I had to resort to buying a *ahem* bootleg version of the drama (served me right, it has TERRIBLE english??? substitles) ;)

I agree with one of the comments...that even tho SDW's character seems unpredictable in this drama, I love him still! There's that certain aura in him that I can't explain, i first got attracted to him in Cloud Stairs, Soulmate but sort of not paid attn to him in War of Money I guess coz of his obnoxious character in that drama however, in Stars...I sometimes hate his charac. (but def. not him only his charac.) but wow I luv this actor, among the other K actors on my list!
I can't wait to see the next epis...i am hoping that the production wld extend this series as it's really good!
