Is Yong-Hwa 'Falling Slowly'?

Jung YongHwa is the leader of an indie quartet South Korean band, CN Blue, which debuted early this year and had won their first-ever K-Chart at Music Bank last January 29th. Seo Joo-Hyun is the maknae (youngest) of the popular nine-member, South Korean girl group, Sonyeo Sidae or Girls' Generation,formed by SM Entertainment in 2007. Apart from group performances, the members have had various activities as solo entertainers — acting in dramas and musicals, hosting various reality, variety, children's or game shows, modeling, endorsing brands and releasing solo singles. It is in the drama, "We Got Married Season 2", that YongHwa and SeoHyun are being paired as make-believe husband and wife. As of July 10, YongSeo Couple (as they are being dubbed) is on it's 14th episode. WGM airs every Saturday at 05:15 PM Korea time.

Anyway, although YongSeo is on it's 14th episode, fans are still waiting for them to hold hands. Oh! There have been little touches here and there but fans are expecting more skinship from this couple. South Koreans, or all Asians for that matter, are, in a good way, generally old-fashioned and traditional compared to our European and American counterparts. Korea still doesn’t have a whole lot of opposite-sex public-display-of-affection happening. It is still even a big deal to kiss in public. It takes the boys forever to work up to that point in a relationship. Touching someone from the opposite sex in public is still fairly rare and generally limited to couples. But with the actions that these two are showing lately, it seems skinship may happen anytime soon. Lately, YongHwa has been dropping hints on his radio interviews about his ideal woman and who he will take to their concert.

On the recent SBS radio show 'Choi HwaJung's Powertime', YongHwa was quoted saying, "she (SeoHyun) has a good personality. But these days I'm into watching the Japanese drama, 'Nodame Cantabile' and I really love Ueno Juri who appears in the show." And on June 30 on KBS Cool FM 'Hung Jin Kyung Radio', they were asked who they want to invite to their concert if they were to invite only one person. YongHwa's reply was, 'Euno Juri'.

But wait! Is he really referring to the Japanese actress, or is it a code name he made for SeoHyun in order to protect her and his budding feelings for her? Well, I've still got to watch the in-coming episodes to prove that my assumption's correct...can't wait..ahh my heart goes doogeun, doogeun again...
