Popular female recording artist BoA, who recently made her U.S. debut, will make her appearance in a 'YouTube Live' event organized by YouTube. The event is a large-scale live relay concert that will take place in San Francisco, United States and in Tokyo, Japan from 9:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. on November 23. World-renowned artists will take part in the event by performing live, and YouTube users will also participate in the special event.

Singer Yoon Do-hyun recently announced his intention to step down as the host of "Love Letter with Yoon Do-hyun," a popular live music and talk show on KBS 2TV, as well as his FM radio show "Yoon Do-hyun's Music Show."

Actor Bae Yong-jun will meet with his Japanese fans through satellite TV.

Bae's management agency said a large-scale fan event entitled "Christmas with Family - Although We're Far Apart" will be held at the Yokohama Arena on December 14. The event will be broadcast via satellite coverage and link Bae with his fans in Japan.

Actor Bae Yong-joon's management agency Keyeast says it has allowed the portable multimedia devices Nintendo DS and Nintendo DS Light the right to use the actor's face and voice for their Korean language education software. Under the latest agreement, Nintendo will release a brand new software program that allows users to listen, read and write Korean with Bae Yong-joon in January. The educational program will be divided into three levels so that users can enjoy a wide range of games according to their level of Korean.

"DS Yonsama," the prospective name for the new program will be introduced to the market through an internet shopping mall run by BOF nternational, the Japanese branch of Keyeast. The software will be sold for 5,000 yen and will receive pre-orders.

Keyeast says the demand for Nintendo's Hangeul education software is expected to be high. Some 22 million units of the Nintendo DS have been sold in Japan and it is considered a must-have item among women in their 30s.

Bae is currently planning to release a travel book and photo book about the "beauty of Korea."

Sidus HQ says singer and actor Yoon Gye-sang will publish a travel book with photos of his upcoming trip to Turkey at the end of the month. To prepare for the book's release, Yoon began studying photography six months ago from a professional photographer. During his upcoming travels in Turkey, Yoon plans to visit renowned destinations including Capadoccia and Antalya. The theme of his book will be "adventures in the city's back alleys" and "relaxation in nature."

Yoon plans to invite one other person to join him on his trip. Interested persons can apply to be the lucky winner of a random draw at http://travelwithstar.cyworld.com. The winner will receive round trip tickets to Turkey with free accommodations, as well as a camera.
