Song Joong Ki says, “I wouldn’t take my girlfriend’s guilt upon myself”

Actor Song Joong Ki recently said he is very different from Maru in KBS 2TV’s drama series Nice Guy.
On November 16, at a press interview, which was held in celebration of finishing the series, Song said, “If I were Maru, I wouldn’t take my lover’s guilt upon myself.”
In the series, Maru (played by Song Joong Ki) used to be a medical student but goes to jail, taking the guilt of his lover, Jae Hee (played by Park Si Yeon), upon himself as she murders someone.
Song said, “If I were Maru, I would urge her to give herself up. If she asked me to take her guilt upon myself, I would swear at her.”
Regarding the most memorable lines, Song said, “It’s Noona. In some scenes, it was quite awkward to call Jae Hee Noona, so I remains in my memory.”
Song also said, “Maru also says to Jae Hee, ‘I cannot promise that I’ll love you, but I can stay with you forever. Will you come to me?’ I was really said when I spoke the part.”
Regarding the most memorable scenes, Song said, “I was sad when I shot the scene of Maru saying to Jae Hee, ‘I feel nothing for you now,’ and crying alone. I also remember the scene of Jae Gil having a drink with Maru after finding out that Maru is about to die and the scene of Maru kissing Eun Gi in Japan. The kissing scene was really pretty with a castle in the background.”

Rain says, “The vote for 2006 Time 100 is fake? It’s ridiculous”

Regarding the rumor that the number of votes singer Rain received for the 2006 Time 100 is fake, a spokesperson for Rain recently said, “It’s ridiculous.”
On November 16, one of the media sources reported that Rain hired a lot of people to vote for him for the 2006 Time 100 while he was having a trouble with a production agency, which was in charge of his tour of North America in 2006.
In court, Rain’s attorney asserted Rain was popular enough to be selected as one of the Time 100. However, a spokesperson for the production agency said, “That’s because he asked lots of Chinese people in the U.S. to vote for him.”
At this, a spokesperson for Rain said, “It’s ridiculous that the number of votes Rain received for the Time 100 was fake. The hundred celebrities were selected by the world-renowned magazine Time. The process of the vote was very fair, and the vote didn’t even play a decisive role in selecting the hundred people. It’s not true that Rain hired people to vote for him. It’s also strange to question the selection criteria of the world-renowned magazine. The selection must have been done fairly. It’s ridiculous to report such a false rumor.”
