Partnering with Oh!K, StarHub invited star of hit Korean variety show I Live Alone, Sung Hoon, to Singapore to meet with friends in the media and fans. Sung Hoon’s appearance is a celebration of Oh!K’s 5th birthday, and part of a series of engagement activities to bring fans closer to their favourite celebrities, in the lead up to StarHub Night of Stars 2019.

At the press conference held on Friday, Sung Hoon candidly shared his thoughts on being on I Live Alone. He found the filming process very comfortable as he could just be himself. When answering questions from the media, he revealed that he will absolutely not want to release a music album but is open to just singing to have fun with his fans. As an animal lover and owner of a new dog, if he could live like his rich drama characters, he hopes to be able to purchase a private jet so he can bring his dog Yanghee around the world with him.

Later in the evening, Sung Hoon greeted an atrium filled with enthusiastic screaming fans at City Square Mall. 3 lucky fans got an opportunity to play a game with Sung Hoon - persuading him to try out their favourite local dish between three choices: Hokkien Mee, Carrot Cake and Ice Kachang. Unable to decide on just one dish, Sung Hoon made the fans play a game of Scissors, Paper, Stone to determine the winner of a pair of StarHub Night of Stars 2019 tickets.

To thank his fans for their support, Sung Hoon went the extra mile, he dashed down the stage (to the alarm of security members) to present a gift to an audience member and warmly shook hands with them. 20 pairs of StarHub and Oh!K subscribers also took their turns to go on stage for a group photo with the charismatic actor. Ending off the session, Sung Hoon was asked to strike three of his best poses, the actor was very shy and made use of a dog plushie gift as a prop - placing it on his head, into his vest and ending off the event with a huge victory pose.

Sung Hoon’s I Live Alone has been nominated for the Favourite Variety Show award for StarHub Night of Stars 2019. Decided entirely by fans, visit StarHub’s Facebook page now to show your support for Sung Hoon. 

To catch more of Sung Hoon, tune in to Oh!K (StarHub channel 816) to watch I Live Alone, a special weekend marathon is airing throughout the month of October, every Saturday at 10.50pm. New episodes of I Live Alone is also available every Sunday, 1050pm on Oh!K (StarHub channel 816).

This October, the channel with the ultimate Korean entertainment, Oh!K (Astro Ch 394), is bringing fans two new dramas; Extra-Ordinary You, premiering on Thursday, 3rd October and Blessings of The Sea premiering on Thursday, 17th October.

Eun Dan-oh (starring Kim Hye Yoon) is a 17-year-old high-school student from a wealthy family who suffers from a lifelong heart condition that inevitably means she will not live past her teenage years. However, when Dan-oh realizes she is experiencing long gaps in her memory as well, she comes into the unhappy inheritance of another fact in her life: she is a character in a Korean webtoon and all of her actions are predetermined by the artist who draws her. To make matters worse, she discovers she is only a supporting character in the cast. With her newfound understanding of the world she inhabits, she is determined to find true love in her own plotline and circumvent the author’s plans for her character by utilizing the flashes of storyboard she alone is able to see.

The Korean tale, Sim Chung Yi (starring Lee So Yeon) is a well-known fable about a young girl sacrificing her life to save her blind father. She is often referred as the best daughter, but does she really deserve all the praise to herself? The neighboring women who breast-fed her during her childhood, the Dragon King who took her in as his wife and searched for her father Sim Hak Gyu (starring Ahn Nae Sang), all supported and loved her. She could be brave because of the faith people had in her all along. Just like the fable, the Sim Chung Yi in this drama also finds her way out of the harsh reality even after losing both of her parents. Here’s to the modern-day Sim Chung Yis!

Eun Dong-Joo (starring Han Ji-Hye) attempts to get back her stolen life. When she was 6 years-old, she was abandoned at an orphanage. She did not remember anything except her name. Despite her difficult environment, she has grown into a woman with a positive and bright personality. Cha Pil-Seung (starring Lee Sang-Woo) is a detective, who is good at his job. His parents died when he was young and he was then raised by his wealthy grandmother. Even though he is popular with women, he doesn't fall in love with anyone due to trauma from his parents' deaths.

Min Chae-won (starring Eugene) is the eldest granddaughter of a family living in the outskirts of Seoul who has been running a noodle factory for three generations. Married for three years to Chul-gyu (starring Choi Won-Young), whose rich family owns the major corporation Golden Dragon Food, Chae-won has a difficult life because her mother-in-law fiercely opposes them and will not accept her.

When her husband cheats on her, she detaches herself from her in- laws and decides to divorce him. Her mother-in-law has her falsely committed to a mental institution as revenge for the divorce. She returns to the noodle factory and struggles to modernize and expand it. Chae-won later meets Lee Se-yoon (starring Lee Jung Jin), the son of a wealthy household, who is infamous for his disparaging treatment of all those around him. They both nurse wounds from their past romantic relationships.

Oh Yeong-shim (starring Shin Ae-ra) is an excellent cook and runs the household superbly. With her down-to-earth, friendly personality, she is liked by almost everyone. But she has had difficulties in conceiving a child for years with her husband. Tragedy befalls her when her husband dies in a car accident. Widowed and lonely, she is also blamed by her mother-in-law for not bearing a son who will carry the family name. Ridden with guilt due to her shortcomings as a woman, wife and daughter-in-law, she finds it hard to endure life…  

Lee Seung Gi and Suzy teamed up for the second time in a drama and this time round is for the spy action melodrama 'Vagabond'. 'Vagabond' centers around Cha Dal-gun (starring Lee Seung Gi), an experienced stuntman who goes all the way out to uncover the truth of a mysterious plane crash that killed all 211 passengers on board, including his beloved nephew. As he digs deeper into the case, he finds out about the hidden conspiracy behind the plane crash that led to a massive national corruption case.

The first two episodes have received great feedback from many viewers and according to Nielson Korea, the drama has drew up to 1.78 million viewers nationwide, marking the highest viewership ratings in its time slot across all public broadcast networks. The intense storyline paired with the cinematic action scenes and impressive visual effects have increased our anticipation for the upcoming episodes.
