I’m a great fan of hers!
Thanks in advance!
October 13th, 2007 at 10:48 am
Jereriviel… she is pregnant, so there won’t be any new dramas or movies from her for a while. Her last movie is “Bisan”, which is quite good in my opinion.
October 13th, 2007 at 11:19 am

October 14th, 2007 at 1:28 pm
Jereriviel… I am not sure, you can try it on Youtube, or buy it online perhaps?
joanne… I can’t tell about the future… Nanako did have some offers before her latest pregnancy, but things might change after she gave birth.
Is Park Chae-rim still active? I thought she has semi-retired. Sorry but I am not looking to add any stars at the moment… been busy with something else.
