 Actor Bae Yong-jun was appointed new Promotional Ambassador of Korea Tourism on October 14th at the 35th Tourism Day Commemorative Ceremony and Year of Korea Tourism event that took place at the Seoul Lotte Hotel.

There were a total of over 800 guests in attendance along with Bae Yong-jun, with key figures including First Lady Kim Yun-ok, the Minister Yu In-chon of Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism, the Year of Korea Tourism Chairman Park Sam-gu, and previous Promotional Ambassador of 2006-2008, actor Ryu Si-won.

To add to the celebration, organizers have added “Year of Korea Tourism” to the banner in order to spread knowledge of Korean culture to the world. The ‘Year of Korea Tourism’ is a national tourism promotion project that will last until the year 2012, making this the third official installment.

The 2010-2012 ‘Year of Korea Tourism’ will be led by Hallyu Star Bae Yong-jun as the Promotional Ambassador. Furthermore, actor Ryu Si-won, who had preceded Bae Yong-jun as the Promotional Ambassador of Korea Tourism from 2006 to 2008, was also handed a Presidential Citation at the event for his work during the three years.

During the three years, Bae Yong-jun will be planning to attract over 10 million foreign tourists to Korea while internationalizing the Korea tourism brand.

BYJ's new house 11/2010

 

[New House] 

The words, many billions, slip out automatically after seeing Bae Yong Joon’s new house in Seongbuk-dong

Yonsama, Bae Yong Joon will move into a house in Seongbuk-dong from the villa in Samseong-dong, Seoul where he currently resides. Bae Yong Joon bought his first house which is located at the end of an expensive residential area well-known as the rich village in Seongbuk-dong, Seoul. It gives a quiet and cozy impression. When Sports Chosun visited his new house, construction was in full swing for the new owner who plans to move in early next year.

▶It was a much bigger house compared to those in the neighborhood.

His new house in Seongbuk-dong is located in a secluded area, where the residences of foreign embassies are gathered, among the residential area. It faces the residence of the Japan embassy, which is inseparable with Bae Yong Joon, and is also close to the residence of the Iraq embassy..

This two-story house, which is characterized by white walls, is bigger than the houses nearby even at a glance. With the exception of the white walls, the entire inside has been torn down and the construction for the “entire remodeling” was underway. According to the residents nearby, the land size of his new house is about 760㎡, and it’s worth about five billion won.

The neighbors are even fancy because the area is well-known as the rich village in Korea. Hyun Jung Eun’s house, the chairman of Hyundae and guest house for VIPs of Hyundae Group are nearby and Samsung families’ houses are about 5 minutes away by car.

Someone who is in the real estate business near Seongbuk-dong stated, “The previous owner is also a well-known figure. He is a formal representative of big cultural facilities. There are countless well-known figures in this neighborhood.”

On the other hand, his agent Keyeast turned down the floating rumor by saying, “We are getting inquiries whether he bought the house for his marriage. It’s absurd.”

 ▶The reason why he chose Seongbuk-dong for his new residential area?

Actually, not many entertainers reside in Seongbuk-dong. It is a traditional rich village where the first generation of chaebol (tycoon) and entrepreneurs of middle standing have been living there for about 20-30 years continuously. Usually the entertainers’ moving-into the area aren’t welcomed in this neighborhood. An actor of great popularity had moved in, but he moved out soon after because of continuous box-office failures. A broadcaster also moved out from here to Gangnam right away after he got injured. He did not have the opportunity to become fond of it.

In the beginning, Bae Yong Joon also took a while to decide whether to select Seongbuk-dong for his new residential area. He became convinced after searching for a house at various areas in Seoul for about one year. He completed the deal on July 29th. In a telephone conversation with Sports Chosun, the person who helped Bae Yong Joon with his house transaction said, “He is very careful and prudent. It took a long time for him to make a decision.” He said that he has been handling the house transaction for Seongbuk-dong mostly, and further stated, “Actually, not every one can move in Seongbuk-dong. I met Bae Yong Joon several times in one year. I felt that he has a great personality and is a very reasonable person.”

He further said, “Bae Yong Joon feels a big responsibility about Hallyu and his attitude and acts towards people are perfect. I respect and became fond of him during our several meetings about moving. He is man of great capacity which corresponds perfectly with the dignity of Seongbuk-dong. I hope he has a continuous wonderful life at the new place.

News on Illegal Stock Manipulation:

original in korean FINANCIAL NEWS 2010-10-01 05:40 
translated into english SUEHAN’s blog

Hosts of People who were Manipulating the Stock Price
Through Star Marketing were Exposed

So-called “hosts of people” who were accused of gaining about 34 hundred million won in illegal-profits from stock price manipulation by overstating the contract that they made with the company where the famous Hallyu star Bae Yong Joon is a major shareholder, and illegal trading (通情賣買. suehan: I don’t know the stock terms, but it means they exchanged information or promise to manipulate the stock price) were exposed by the district attorneys.

(*bb: i think suehan might be trying to say info/insider trading…?)
On the 30th of last month, the criminal division 5 of the Seoul Southern District Court (Judge Kim Joo Won) stated that they arrested and charged the former CEO Mr. Han (39) of Goje which is producer and distributor of red ginseng for the violation of the capital market and finance investment law.

The prosecution said that the private lender Mr. Min (36) who received the stock price manipulation request from Mr. Han, financier, and an operation member were arrested for the same charges. They also stated that two brokers were charged without detention and one broker was issued an arrest warrant after the stay of prosecution.

According to the prosecution, they made a trademark license contract and an exclusive sales contract with Gorilla last November, in which Bae Yong Joon is a major shareholder. They were charged for false public announcement of an improbable supply contract without agreeing with Gorilla.

Seoul’s celebrity-owned restaurants:

June 3, 2011

Eateries owned by Hallyu stars give fans a chance to directly fork over their cash to their favorite celebsKorea is rapidly becoming known for two things, its food and celebrities. So it’s no wonder that the combination of the two has attracted attention.

If you’re all about the hallyu stars, but don’t want to sacrifice a few meals while staking them out, check out some of the most popular restaurants owned by Korean celebs.

Gorilla in the Kitchen: Bae Yong-joon

Gorilla in the Kitchen, one of the most-respected celeb-owned restaurants, is all about healthy food and the well-being lifestyle.

You’ll find no butter or cream in the kitchen and minimal salt in your food — a welcome change from the typically sodium-saturated Korean plate.

The diet-conscious can go for the “human-sized” portions (larger sizes are called “gorilla”), while the health-conscious can order combo meals, which in turn will get you a free health consultation on your sugar levels before and after meals. Although Gorilla in the Kitchen is known as Yonsama’s restaurant, the interior is surprisingly devoid of Bae Yong-joon paraphernalia.

It’s about the food here, not the famous owner.

Gorilla in the Cafe Hawaii,

Bae Yong Joon to open Waikiki cafe.

January 23, 2012

source: Honolulu Pulse


Korean celebrity Bae Yong Joon is working towards opening a coffee shop in Waikiki called Gorilla in the Café Hawaii, a spokesperson confirmed. The news was first reported by “K-Drama” columnist Jeff Chung in the Jan. 15 edition of the Honolulu Star-Advertiser.


“We just got the lease … (and) the project is going forward,” said Timothy Lee, a Hawaii-based real estate agent who represents Bae’s Gorilla Life Way USA, LLC.
After successful acting roles in Korean and Japanese television (where he is known as Yonsama), Bae expanded his business interests into restaurant ventures in those two countries. A visit to Hawaii island last year got him interested in opening something here.
“He really enjoys Hawaii and is an avid golfer,” Lee said. “When he was here in April, we were in Kona, and that’s where he really got to experience the coffee farms.”
Back on Oahu, Lee connected Bae with the Korean owners of Teddy Bear World in Waikiki, who incidentally had a vacant space available to sub-lease. Once the necessary paperwork was finalized earlier this month, Gorilla in the Café Hawaii became a reality. While Lee will handle some aspects of the new business, he said Bae himself will oversee much of the process.
“He’s going to be directly involved,” said Lee. “He’s a big foodie (and) has a very good palate.
“My thing in Hawaii is that we really lack the outdoor dining options here. We have great weather all year long, but for some reason there’s not much outdoor seating.”
Lee said that while the new, 500 square-foot space isn’t that big, it’s a dedicated seating area outside that will help attract customers. Bae’s fans will also be drawn to design elements and merchandise that reflect the actor’s personality.
“This project is personal,” said Lee. “It will be a lot of (Bae’s) personal preferences on the merchandise and everything that we do.”
Gorilla in the Café Hawaii will be located at 2155 Kalakaua Ave. and is tentatively set to open in April. Bae is expected to attend the grand opening.

[article] New cafe in Honolulu: Gorilla in the Cafe.

July 24, 2012

Gorilla in the Café, Honolulu’s newest coffee shop focusing on Hawaii coffee has a bit more polish than the others—a gleaming Kelly-green Marozco espresso machine, carefully designed packaged coffees, an interior of glass and unfinished wood. The money behind the café: K-drama star Bae Yong Joon.
Joon consults with local suppliers and roasters (Isla Coffee for coffee, Downtown Coffee for the espresso) to showcase an impressive array of local coffees such as Rusty’s Hawaiian Honey Typica from Kau and Maui Mokka Peaberry.
Gorilla in the Cafe serves pour-over coffee and espresso drinks, all of it brewed from 100% Hawaii-grown beans.
Why a Gorilla? A reference to under or over-caffeinated customers?
No, Joon has a sister restaurant in Seoul called Gorilla in the Kitchen, specializing in healthy offerings. Says Gorilla in the Café spokesperson Tim Lee, “A gorilla is one of the strongest and leanest creatures in existence, thus the name. A lot of celebrities go to the Seoulrestaurant before filming to shape up to get into a role.”
Me, I’m not shaping up for anything, but I am going for a good cup of coffee.
Coffee ranges from $3.65 to $5.25 for a small cup, espresso drinks from $2.95 to $3.95 for a small.

[article] Gorilla in the Cafe: Flexing Hawaiian Coffee Muscles in Waikiki.

October 23, 2012

source: FOOD GPS
By Joshua Lurie
September 12, 2012

Waikiki has to be one of the most touristy areas on the planet, with people from across the globe spilling over sidewalks. The Honolulu hotel and shopping district sure has its share of chains, but hidden in plain sight are some focused culinary specialists. On our most recent trip to Hawaii, we were staying at the Waikiki Parc Hotel, and around the corner, a strange sight caught my eye, a flashy green La Marzocco espresso machine. Spotting top-flight coffee equipment signaled serious coffee at VG Gallery Studio Cafe in Taipei, and that same indicator led to some of the best coffee we’ve had in Hawaii, at Gorilla in the Cafe.

Korean actor Bae Yong Joon opened his glass-fronted cafe in July. He also owns a restaurant in Seoul called Gorilla in the Kitchen and respects the animal’s health and strength. The interior features reclaimed wood walls and houses the aforementioned La Marzocco, two Mazzer grinders, a Bonmac pourover coffee bar, and a healthy retail presence. The gorilla also serves shave ice, but we were happy to enjoy that Hawaiian treat elsewhere.

We started with 100% Hawaiian Hand Pourover, roasted by Pahala-based Isla Coffee

A menu near the register features seven different selections, which might include Maui Red Catuai, Ka’u Washed Typica and Kona Magarogype. It’s not often to see the coffee varietal featured so prominently on a menu. Clearly, the gorilla enjoys educating customers.

A barista named Sam filled me in and prepared my coffee. Maui Mokka Peaberry ($4.66) promised “flavors of lychee, hibiscus, rose, orange and chocolate.” It was bright, and fairly floral, but does anybody ever really sense exactly the same tasting notes as the label dictates?

Honolulu’s Downtown Coffee roasted a four-bean espresso blend, including beans from Big Island, Maui and Oahu. Sam pulled a smooth shot that was satisfyingly bright, without much bitterness.

Of course Gorilla in the Cafe sells bags of coffee to go, in case you want to take the experience elsewhere. Apparently it’s also possible to be a gorilla at home.

Gorilla in the Cafe :

We're VERY excited to share that our Puna coffee received a great score of 92 in Coffee Review's "Hawaiian Coffees" article! ( The highest score given was 93 )

"an impressively pure but lush coffee with particularly striking floral and peach-toned fruit notes. The loving production of a tiny three-acre farm on which owners Kelleigh Stewart and Brandon von Damitz do practically everything, this Puna may represent the ultimate artisan coffee."

Bae Yong Joon’s Keyeast, 8.1 Billion Won for The First Quarter Revenue… Increased 223% ( MAy , 2010)

[OSEN=Reporter Bong Joon Young]

Entertainment company, Keyeast, for which Hallyu star Bae Yong Joon is a major shareholder, had sales of 8.1 billion Won for the first quarter of 2010 and it has increased 223% compared to the first quarter of last year.

Keyeast released their first quarter report through the quarterly report in the afternoon on May 17th. According to Keyeast, the sales of the first quarter was 8,161,434,247 Won and it has increased 223% compared to the same quarter of last year (the first quarter of 2009 was 3,646,430,824 Won), and profit has increased 796% (73,640,640 Won in the first quarter of 2009, and 586,769,688 Won in the first quarter of 2010). They especially said that the profit was more than last year’s entire profits.

They pointed out that the increases of the sales and profits resulted from “the sales increase from the merger with its subsidiary company, BOF and its synergy effects”, and “the services for the production of the animation Winter Sonata affected largely to the sales of the first quarter.” And they added that “it also resulted from the continuous activities of the entertainers including Bae Yong Joon, Lee Na Young, Choi Gang Hee, Lee Bo Young, and Lee Ji Ah.”

Especially, they had additional contents businesses in 2009 such as DVD sales of the broadcasting, 3D movie in theaters, and the publication of the photo books from ‘the Tokyo Dome Event in Japan’, ‘The Journey to Discover the Beauty of Korea’, and ‘Animation Winter Sonata,”, and it looks like they were the reason the profits increased.

An official of Keyeast said, “Right now, we’re earnestly working on the production of the drama ‘Dream High’, the production of documentary film, various licenses, and MD businesses. And we expect positive results from the additional businesses contents coming from the know-how of one source multi use business in the future.”

Recently, Keyeast renewed the exclusive contracts with Lee Na Young, Choi Gang Hee, and Lee Ji Ah.

Bae Yong Joon’s Keyeast has changed to a Two Representative System.

Reporter Ryu Sang Woo.

Keyeast, in which Bae Yong Joon (38) is a major shareholder, was reorganized to Joint Representative System with Shin Pil Soon (34) and Yang Geun Hwan (35) as Keyeast representatives.

Representative Shin is a certified public accountant and financial advisor. He worked for Samil PWC Advisory and Neoplux which is a private equity fund management company of Doosan Group. Representative Yang is a founder member and director of Korea Entertainment Management Association.

Representative Shin, who will orchestra the overall business, and management system of Keyeast, said, “I would like to develop a company that has both profitability and growth through a systematic management and the discovery a new form of business.”

Including Bae Yong Joon, Lee Na Young, Choi Gang Hee, Lee Bo Young, Lee Ji Ah, Park Ye Jin, Bong Tae Gyue, Kim Soo Hyeon, Park Eun Bin belong to Keyeast.

In the later part of this year, Keyeast will produce the drama, “Dream High” with CJ Media and JYP Entertainment.
