Biography from TheMovieDB

Hong Yoo Kyung is a South Korean singer, dancer, and former member of APINK (에이핑크). She graduated from Seoul Performing Arts High School and later obtained a bachelor's degree in Theater from Chung-Ang University and a master's degree in Clothing from Seoul National University.  She made her debut in April 2011 as the group's main rapper and vocalist with their first EP, "Seven Springs of Apink". They became known thanks to their appearance in the reality show "Birth of a Family" and for singing the OST "Please Let Us Love" for the SBS drama "Protect the Boss". They won 4 rookie awards that year, including the Mnet Asian Music Awards, the Korean Culture & Entertainment Awards, the Golden Disk Awards, and the High 1 Seoul Music Awards, which helped them expand their fanbase.  In April 2013, IST Entertainment (IST엔터테인먼트; formerly known as Play M Entertainment and Plan A Entertainment) announced her departure from the group to focus on her education. Weeks later, her father, multimillionaire Hong Ha Jong (the CEO of a big manufacturing company), revealed that she was dropped from the group and forced to leave the company.  She was offered to re-debut as part of another group, but she declined out of respect for APINK members and remains out of the entertainment industry.

About the Movie Section

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).

Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.

Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)

While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).

Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.

Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
