Um Jung-hwa Earns W10 Billion in 3 Months

Um Jung-hwa Earns W10 Billion in 3 Months

Singer/actress Um Jung-hwa, who launched her own business last summer, posted sales revenues of 10 billion won just three months after launching her brand.

Um launched the fashion brands "Corner Suite" and "Zuhm in New York" in September in a joint effort with a private firm.

"Corner Suite" debuted on home shopping channels in mid-October, and was sold out in 50 minutes instead of the originally scheduled 70 minutes.

A person close to Um said the brands posted sales revenues of 10 billion dollars in three months and will be introduced on the GS and CJ home shopping channels in February. He ascribed the success to Um's efforts.

Um's popularity soared for her role in last year's drama "Osujeong," and she is currently looking for a new role.

Choi Kang-hee to Fill In as Radio DJ

Choi Kang-hee to Fill In as Radio DJ
Actress Choi Kang-hee will return as a radio DJ.

She will fill in for singer MayBee to host the KBS Cool FM show 'Pump Up on Volume' Jan. 14 to Feb. 3. It's been 14 months since she left the show as the DJ.

The replacement is scheduled because MayBee will undergo surgery on her vocal cords. MayBee was diagnosed last month while promoting her second album. She wanted to continue as DJ but her management and radio producers persuaded her to take a break for a while.

Upon hearing the news, Choi--the show's former DJ--willingly accepted the offer to sit in during MayBee's absence. Busy herself promoting her film "My Love," Choi has even delayed a photo shoot this month to a later date because of the radio gig.

Her management agency said, "Choi is happy to meet fans again as a DJ." She will also begin reviewing scripts for her next film.
