Baby V.O.X. days

When the girl group Baby V.O.X dropped a member due to a scandal, Yoon was chosen to replace her. Yoon was by far the youngest member in the group, debuting at the age of 15. She recorded 4 albums with the band before leaving the group in July 2005 [1] in order to pursue an acting career. While with the group, Yoon quickly became known as the "cute" one not only for her young age, but because of her bright personality. However, she was also criticized for her weight, as she looked overweight compared to her very slim bandmates. Although she debuted a new, skinnier body in early 2005, she appeared to be experiencing a "yoyo" effect, as noted by various Korean netizens [2].
Unfortunately, Yoon suffered in the hands of detractors Baby V.O.X. when she joined the group to produce their third album. In a water gun incident, Baby V.O.X. was scheduled to appear on Gyun-Ahn Broadcast's Music Engine and was waiting inside their van when Yoon was shot by a water gun by an unidentified man. The man pretended to be a passionate fan of Baby V.O.X. and attempted to offer a Pikachu doll as a present. Suddenly, he took out a water gun and shot Yoon right in the eye before running away.
After being shot, Yoon expressed severe pain and could not open her eyes for a long time. Baby V.O.X. had to cancel their performance and headed straight to the hospital, where Yoon was treated in emergency. The hospital informed that Yoon's cornea was damaged.
Baby V.O.X. members claimed they smelt soy sauce and vinegar from the water that came out of the water pistol

Acting career
Yoon has played a small role on the sitcom Rainbow Romance as Lee Minki's rich ex-girlfriend, before moving on to become one of the host members for the variety show X-Man on SBS. While on "X-Man," she became involved in a romance with popular K-pop singer Kim Jong Kook. Although "X-Man" raised her public profile (in part due to this "scandal"), she left the show a year later in order to pursue acting. Yoon also played the girl lead in one of Kim Jong Kook's music video "Saying You Love Me" which was released in July 2006.
Yoon had her first major acting role in popular Korean drama, Princess Hours (also known as Goong). Initially, however, fans of Goong had questioned her acting ability leading to controversy.[1][2] The success of the drama also appeared unclear as it competed with My Girl which also boasted casting of popular celebrities such as Lee Jun Ki.[3] The drama began with average ratings, but as it continued, viewership increased to almost 30% nationally, leading to an extension of the first season (from 20 to 24 episodes) and a Princess Hours special on MBC. Although Yoon and the other main actors initially agreed to work on a second season of Princess Hours, only one of them officially agreed to do so, forcing the director to change the storyline and focus on brand new characters instead, and is named Goong S.
Due to the success of her first drama, Yoon has been able to continue acting. She is currently working on other dramas, including the recently concluded The Vineyard Man. Like most Korean dramas at that time[citation needed], The Vineyard Man initially suffered from very low ratings due to strong competition from the MBC 45th anniversary drama Jumong (TV series); however, the drama ratings gradually increased and reached a successful 15.6% on its finale.
On 24 November 2006, Eight Peaks (production company of Goong), confirms that the true sequel of Goong season 1 (Goong 2) will probably happen. According to Eight Peaks, the original Manwha is still on-going. The production company wants to film the sequel, not the spin-off like Goong S. Eight Peaks have already begun the preparations necessary for the sequel since two months ago. And according to the company, the true sequel will air in late 2007 or early 2008. Actors like Yoon Eun Hye and Kim Jeong Hoon will be back in the sequel as well.

TIPS ON HOW TO MAKE A FAN FICTION

credited SPC members(spcnet.tv)

Don't:

- Repeat the usual plot
- Be too predictable
- use "net-isms" or street language (unless it is vital to the plot in some way). Fun as it may seem, it is incredibly difficult to read and you won't get many readers.- repeat the same words too many times. If you are stuck for vocabulary, then invest in a thesaurus.- make your paragraphs too long. It sends people to sleep!
- Write in script form too much.
- Make sure you check your grammar and spelling and tne proper use of vocabularies. Don't just take a dictionary and pick out a word, which may have the same meaning but does not apply to the situation. Hope that make sense.

DO's

- make sure that you are clear about the time period, whether it is ancient, Shanghai, or modern.
- If you are writing in ancient time then try not to use modern words such as Ok or any slang language, instead try to go for a more formal tone. But the most important thing about fanfic to me is characterization. Make your characters human and flawed, don't try to make them into some perfect beings, which would make the story seems bland and dry. And make your characters consistent. They should act in a way that make sense to the personalities that you have created for them.
- Also make sure to research on whatever it is that you are writing about, especially if you are writing in modern time. If your character is a doctor, then make sure that you know precisely what kind of doctor and what do they do in professional terms. If not, then try to avoid the time when your characters are working.
- set the scene... for a reader, it is nice to have some description of the atmosphere and the surroundings. Like I said on another post, think of it as a camera sweep that you see when you are watching films/TV. Also helps to indicate the time period and other details: I remember reading one and a half chapters of what I thought was a modern fanfic and then realising it was set in ancient times!!
- spell and grammar check your work. There is nothing more off-putting than an obvious spelling mistake in the middle of a sentence or a grammatical error which confuses the plot completely.- introduce enough characters, but not too many!!
- check your work before publishing! Speed typing with your fingers working faster than your brain can cause inadvertant typos and errors.
- Give some twist
- Make unique characters

MBC drama 'Palace' may set a new record among drama exports Date | 2006-03-03

'Palace' (written by In, Eun-A, and directed by Hwang, In-roe), a popular MBC drama broadcast every Wednesday and Thursday, is just an inch away from setting a new record of attracting 30% of the total number of viewers. It is also making good progress among international viewers.

The drama's producer has currently made a contract with distributors in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Thailand, and is also working on deals with local distributors in Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore, a report said.

In addition, it is in discussion with Japan, the biggest drama-export market, for a possible sale, which makes 'Palace' a drama that continues the tradition of success started by Korean Syndrome dramas, such as 'Winter Sonata' and 'A Jewel In The Palace'.

"The amount of income from these confirmed contracts on exporting 'Palace' reaches up to 2 million dollars (about 1.94 billion Korean won), and after making a contract with Japan, the total amount of income from export will be 5 million dollars (about 4.85 billion Korean won)," MBC said.

Considering that the drama has not been finished yet, this is such a rapid success. Furthermore, the price tag for each episode is said to have surpassed the record of previous dramas.

"While it does not have Korean Syndrome stars in its cast, the drama 'Palace' is very popular in foreign countries for its fresh and unique subjects and extravagant and elegant visuals. It is expected to become a new killer content to pump more energy to Korean Syndrome," Park, Jae-Bok, assistant director of MBC Global Business Headquarters, said.
