Hi everyone,

i extracted this news from BYJ Quilt which is translated by Joanne :

The sculptures of topstars BYJ (30) & CJW (28) will be set up on the major shooting sites of the 'WLS' which was broadcast on K2TV.

Recently the Tourism Marketing Department of the Environment-Tourism-Culture Bureau of the Providential Office of the Kangwon Do had sent to agencies of BYJ and CJW an official letter with the topic of "Request for cooperation in relation to the portrait right to publicize the shooting sites of WLS to foreign market.'

On that official letter, the Kangwon Provincial Office revealed, "We are developing tourism marketing utilizing 'WL" which had sensational popularity as it was broadcast on an NHK satellite station and as one of the marketing, we are planning to produce the publicity catalogues of 'WLS' and distribute them to tourist related agencies in Japan, we beg your cooperation including the use of portrait right," and wrote "We are planning to set up sculptures of BYJ & CJW in the major shooting sites of the 'WLS', such as Myeongdong in Chooncheon, Joongdo Namyi Island, Yongpyeong Resorts, and Donghae Chooam Seashore, etc."


The effective period for the use of the portrait right is from 1/1/04 to 12/31/05.

In regard to this, the agencies of BYJ & CJW told, "We do not have any particular reason to object to this. However, we will make final decision regardiing the use of the sculpture after we see their proposed plan."

An officer of the Kangwon Provincial Office told, "Thanks to 'WLS', Kangwon Do is rapidly emerging as the 'Number one place of the Korean tourism' Although there are various opinions, among those, there are a plan to set up sculptures of BYJ & CJW on the Joong Island in Chooncheon. Along with that, we are going over a plan to operate the exclusive airline flight between Korea and Japan in Yangyang International Airport."

According to the Kangwon Do, since the 'WLS' was broadcast in Japan, the number of Japanese tourist who came to visit the Namyi Island and Yongpyeong Ski Resorts has exceeded 10,000. This is the statistic until the end of the last month. The 'WLS' (Japanese title Winter Sonata) which was introduced on an NHK satellite station in the early April this year, is scheduled to be rerun in the middle of this month and broadcast on the NHK ground-wave station thanks to its reception of explosive responses.
