Lee Byung Hun (IRIS) has been found not guilty of illegal gambling in a trial resulting from accusations made by his ex-girlfriend, who has since fled to Canada. The court ruled that occasional gambling at legal gambling facilities is…legal! At the same time, former baseball pitcher, television personality and admitted illegal gambler Kang Byung Kyu was found guilty of attempting to blackmail Lee and defamation of character. So is the story over? No way! Right after the trial, Kang immediately told reporters, “I will sue Lee Byung Hun for defamation next week.” Can someone please make a drama based on this?!

New details and casting announcements on Athena, the follow-up to the smash hit espionage drama IRIS. Ha Ji Won’s name had been bandied about as the female lead for the series, but her management says it’s not gonna happen. Also, Athena is NOT a sequel to IRIS, but a spin-off. Biggest news of all? An official sequel, IRIS 2 is coming in 2011–and Lee Byung Hun and Kim Tae Hee will be back to star!

Shining Inheritance star Lee Seung Ki will return to television this summer in a new drama written by the famed Hong Sisters, titled My Girlfriend is a Fox with Nine Tails. Plot details are scarce and a bit mysterious: presumably romance will play a big part in the story of a man who first is “afraid of the fox,” but then comes to love her. Also a mystery for now is who will play the title vulpine.
