Meet Tokyo Girl Winner

The winner of the Japanese-Korean talent search, “Meet Tokyo Girl” has been announced as 14 year-old Jang Dayun. Hello! Project is a Japanese idol factory company responsible for mega pop acts like Morning Musume and Berryz Kobo. The company is lead by Tsunku, the man responsible for producing and writing nearly every song that comes out of Hello! Project. Tsunku announced Jang as the winner of the competition during a Berryz Kobo concert in Korea. No specific plans have been announced for Jang as to how she will enter the Japanese market. My guess is that she will disappear for a while to undergo more idol training. On his blog, Tsunku commented that while he felt comfortable with his choice of the winner, there were other applicants that he would like to train in Japan as well.

Her young age doesn’t surprise me. It is well known that the majority of Hello! Project’s audience are of ages that would rival any SNSD ajusshi in Korea.

Son Dambi to star in her first drama?

Rumors are flying around that SBS is negotiating with Son Dambi’s people to have her play the lead female role in their upcoming drama Dream.

If Dambi accepts the part, it will be her first starring role in a drama. She’ll play the part of a strong willed Tae Bo instructor that works at her father’s martial arts training facility.

SBS is also negotiating with Frozen Flower star Joo Jin Mo. If he takes the part, Jin Mo will play the role of a sports agent with a troubled past. Dream is in its earliest stages of production and the scripts for the 20 episode drama just started to be written. However, it seems that Dream will have the classic love triangle story line because SBS confirmed that there will be two male leads in the drama. SBS didn’t give out a name for the second male lead but they did say that he is one of Korea’s most talented A-list actors.

Dream is set to air in September on Mondays and Tuesdays after the historical drama Ja Myung Go comes to an end.

I’m praying that Son Dambi will take this role. Oh the possibilities especially after her Engrish acting debut was delayed. Imagine seeing Dambi working out, getting all hot and sweaty while wearing one of those tight aerobic outfits that show off her flat stomach and her sweet behind. Of course they would have to make her character as realistic as possible and show her stretching out and doing the splits before her Tae Bo class (I demand that SBS make her character realistic). When she’s all done with her class, while in slow motion, Dambi would grab her bottle of water, take a drink and then pour water all over her body to cool off. Oh shit…my magic rod is screaming at me. I better stop now and “take a break.” I should also prepare ahead of time, before this drama comes out, and do some online shopping for “supplies” that I’ll need to fully enjoy Dambi’s first starring role (don’t disappoint me SBS).
