Kim Ji-Yeon(Bona): Her intro post #1- '2017 KBS Drama Awards' show pics and video

 Kim Ji-Yeon seems to be a common name, there's another singer with the name who also goes by Kei and was born in 1995 just as this post's honoree was. Another woman that shares the name is an Olympic fencer born in 1988. So to make her recognition easier this Ji-Yon goes by the name of Bona and I'll be using that name in her posts.
 Had never heard of Bona up until a few days ago but when I saw these pics from the KBS Drama Awards show my heart went into maximum overdrive which hasn't happened in a long time. Bona is a member of the K-Pop group Cosmic Girls which also is known as WJSN. It's a mix of Korean and Chinese gals with four coming from China but unsure if the members now reside in Korea. Above is a PV for their "Happy" single that came out in 2017.

 More on them in future Bona posts but want to just talk about her today as my boiling blood still hasn't cooled off after seeing those first pics of her.

 A drama that I've been curious about is "Girls Generation 1979" which aired in September and October for eight episodes. It's set in the late seventies as the title suggests and though at first it appears to be a bit fluffy think it turned out to be quite a serious series. Bona has the lead role of Jung-Hee in the show and the more I talk about it the more I want to view it. Being only eight episodes is a big plus too so that just may be my next watch, there are now way too many on my -need-to-watch list and have to start watching them instead of talking about them.

 The show was a KBS drama and for her role Bona in the above drama was nominated for the Excellence Award for best actress. She was also up for the Best Newcomer Award which was also for her "Hit the Top" series but sadly failed to win either one of them. Least to me Bona easily won the award for most sweltering actress at the awards show and there were plenty of actresses who looked more than oki doki at it. Plenty of dazzling pics from the awards show which was held on December 31st and after them is a short video of her on the red carpet.

Kim Ji-Won: Her intro post #4....

 Ji-Won fans should be pleased as after over a two year absence have a pair of posts for her today. The posts for Korean actresses seem to be getting much more popular, not in the same league as Idol posts go but they do attract many more readers than posts for Japanese actresses. Actually was planning on doing a different post which was a review of her 2012 film "Horror Stories 1".
 Thought it consisted of five short stories and that Ji-Won starred in the first segment followed by the other four. But that wasn't the case as her mini movie interwove with the other four and didn't feel like watching all 110 minutes today after I discovered that's how the film ran. So will have a pair of posts coming up soon for the movie, she also starred in it's sequel and though I haven't come close to finishing the film did take a few screenshots.

 Ji-Won played a kidnapped student in the film, her kidnapper couldn't speak so that's why there are screenshots of the man's writing. He asked for her to tell him some scary stories which was what the other four parts consist of. Little bit of many things today but won't go overboard as I'd like to have a few more of these posts soon and it appears there's been plenty of activities from the past two years that I'll be getting to.
 Ji-Won is now 25 and has become so much more popular than the last time there were posts for her. "Descendants of the Sun" really made her quite a big star, looks like an interesting drama but just don't know if I could sit through sixteen episodes. But after that series Ji-Won's next one had her finally in a starring role which was the "Fight for My Way" series that aired last Spring and Summer. On to a few mag spreads and there haven't been too many recent ones featuring Ji-Won but do have a pair of older ones. This first set is somewhat recent from the September issue of Marie Claire.

 Lot of catching up to do for 2016/17, these next two spreads are from 2016 with this one being from the March edition of Singles.

 Second spread from 2016 is from the July issue of Sure.

 Not sure if these could be classified as a spread but these pics are from the December Star 1.

 Those above pics were promoting J.Estina handbags and purses, Ji-Won has been working with the company for many years and these are from their Autumn collection.

 Ji-Won also appears at so many events for J.Estina, she's probably been at four this past year. Pics here are from a fan signing session that took place on September 9th at the Lotte Store in Jung-gu, Seoul. Not sure if she was impressed with her cutout figure but sure many fans would love to own one of them. After the classy pics check out a short video of the event.
