Ako si Kim Samsoon

Regine Velasquez won in the Asia-Pacific Singing Contest where she sang "You’ll never walk alone" as her winning piece and "And I’m telling you (I’m not going)" as encore performance. She’s entitled in the Philippines as Songbird. She became famous and in-demand all over Asia after winning the contest. She is soon entitled as "Asia’s Songbird". Coco Lee introduced her in the MTV Asia Awards as the "Diva of all Divas". She also collaborated with lots of famous personalities such as Brian McKnight, Le Grande, Mandy Moore, Jacky Cheung and many more.

Nalalapit na ang Enggrandeng Pagtatapos ng Songbird. Habang tumitindi naman ang mga eksena sa "Ako si Kim Samsoon". Naging patok ang eksenang sumayaw si Cynthia at napakanta si Chef Dina. Ngunit sa totoo lang, boses ni Songbird ang ginamit ni Ms. Eugene Domingo. Talagang riot sa tawanan at kabaliwan ang Pinoy Version ng Kim Samsoon. Banggaan sa ratings ang dalawang GMA shows na Kim Samsoon ni Ms. Regine at Dyesebel ni Ms. Marian.

 

Our Condolences to the father of Mark Anthony Fernandez. 

Malapit na malapit na ang Ako si Kim Samsoon…

 

After Heart Evangelista, a new Kapamilya is now on GMA Network. Comedienne Eugene Domingo will be seen in the Philippine Adaptation of Kim Samsoon. She will play the role of Samsoon’s bestfriend.

Her last project in ABS-CBN was Volta starring Ai-Ai delas Alas. 

It became a big issue when Regine stated that she is interested with the remake of the Colombian telenovela, Yo soy Betty La Fea (Ugly Betty). This is the reason why Regine tend to transfer in ABS-CBN.

But the negotiation with the Kapamilya Network was not successful so Regine stayed in GMA and signed a 2-Year Contract.

ABS-CBN announced this week that they chose Bea Alonzo for the Betty Role. What is the reaction of the songbird?

"Actually, before they offered that to me, I know, it was really gonna be for her," Regine stated. "Kasi sinabi naman nila yun sa akin, e. In-explain nila sa akin na Bea was really going to do it, kaya lang they had… I don’t know what happened, hindi ako alam yung story na hindi muna nila ginawa.

 

"And then, nung nag-uusap lang kami, kuwento-kuwento lang, I kinda mentioned it na gusto kong gumawa ng gano’n, tapos hindi naman niya sinasabi na nasa kanila yung rights ng Betty La Fea," kuwento ng Asia’s Songbird sa presscon ng kanyang bagong show sa GMA-7, ang Songbird, last May 9.

KIM SAM SOON VS. BETTY LA FEA. Kung si Bea ay si Betty La Fea, ginagawa naman ngayon ni Regine ang My Name is Kim Sam Soon, ang Pinoy version ng sikat na Koreanovela na may ganun ding pamagat. May balitang posibleng magkatapat ang My Name Is Kim Sam Soon at Betty La Fea, ano ang masasabi ni Regine dito?

 

"Ganun talaga yun, e. It’s business, wala naman tayong magagawa dun," maikli niyang tugon.

 

Dahil nakapagsimula na ng taping si Regine para sa Kim Sam Soon, kinumusta ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) ang experience niya while doing the role.

 

"Actually, I’m having such a great time!" bulalas niya. "Alam mo, they gave me the best staff and crew. The same group who did Marimar is now handling Kim Sam Soon… Si Dom [Dominic Zapata], na parang male version ni Joyce Bernal ang direktor namin, so krung-krung din.

 

"I’m having such a great time. Sobrang nakakatuwa! First of all, the character is so lovable. I mean, ako mismo, nai-in love ako dun sa character."

 

So, nakalimutan niya si Betty?

 

"Nakalimutan ko si Betty!" tawa niya. "Pero in fairness, lovable din si Betty. Kaya lang, ito [Kim Sam Soon] kasi, since it’s Korean, mas Asian, tapos mas malapit sa kultura natin. Tapos inindyeksyunan pa natin na mas gawing Pilipino pa, nakakatawa siya at ang cute, cute, cute ng character.

 

"Mommy ko si Tessie Tomas. It’s such a big honor for me to work with Tessie. Si Ms. Teysi, hindi na siya masyadong active. At my God, dekalibreng mga artista, actors talaga ang mga kasama ko dito. We have Vangie Labalan, si Eugene [Domingo], my God! Naluka-luka nga ako… Alam mo, nakakatawa… Of course, we have Sweet [John Lapus], Carmi Martin, we have Mark [Anthony Fernandez]. Siyempre, si Wendell [Ramos], si Hayden [Kho]…" very excited na saad ni Regine.

 

Dito sa Kim Sam Soon ay si Mark Anthony ang pinaka-leading man ni Regine. Marami ang nagsasabi na tila hindi bagay sina Regine at ang young actor. So, tinanong namin si Regine kung kumusta naman ang chemistry nila ni Mark.

 

"Kasi the story of Kim Sam Soon, wala sila talaga dapat chemistry," pahayag ni Regine. "Kasi the guy is really supposed to be younger than her. Kasi part of her insecurity really is her age and her body… The thread is still the same, pero binigyan tayo ng right na mas gawing Pilipino, yung kultura natin. Kasi siyempre, iba pa rin naman yung kultura nila kahit Koreano, di ba? It’s a romantic comedy, but it also tackles yung kahirapan, in a different way."
