Yu Min gets down! Unfortunately, so does server

shinseolguk.gifIn the latest development of the Yu Min saga, the Korean Web site for her latest movie, “Shinseolguk,” crashed as Korean Netizens rushed to get a look at her all nice and nekkid. Courtesy the Sports Chosun:

An Internet site featuring nude photos of Japanese actress Yu Min (Japanese name: Fueki Yuko), which was down for a while due to traffic overload, has been reborn. And this time, it has videos.

The advertising company for the film ?€œSinseolguk (Japanese title: Shin-Yukiguni)?€? which stars Yu, said that the movie?€™s Korean Web site was not functioning due to unexpectedly high traffic from Internet users. The company has now switched to a high-capacity server. The Korean homepage for the movie ?€œSinseolguk?€? (www.sinseolguk.co.kr) received 400,000 visitors in a two-day period — way beyond its server?€™s capacity — crashing the site completely.

A little later:

Internet users were drawn to the crashed site?€™s ?€œnude gallery,?€? which displayed still shots from Yu?€™s love scenes in the film. Moreover, rumors that the pictures of the actress required an adult verification check in order to be viewed sparked even more curiosity. Yu is often called a ?€œpure beauty?€? and was the object of controversy earlier this year because of her nude photographs.

Some worry that even the second server could crash as well due to traffic congestion, as Internet users rush to see the video files of Yu?€™s love scenes that are to be available for download.

Now, I visited the homepage of the the film, which is based on a novel inspired by Yasunari Kawabata’s Nobel Prize-winning novel, Snow Country, hoping to get a look at some of the video footage. Alas, it was not to be — the site’s working fine, but you need a Korean Citizen ID Number for access to the good parts. I haven’t come across anything else particularly provocative, so all I have to offer you are the links found at the bottom of my previous post on Yu. I apologize sincerely.

    So it’s a bit like the Onion noted a while ago: Koreans have a thing for Asian women.

    I have a question. If she ever does a movie like that in Korea, would she moan Korean-style or Japanese style?

    Robert,
    The photos in the galleries you linked to in the previous post seem to be from this movie “New Snow Country”. It was released in Japan in 2002. If you can read Japanese, have a look at http://www.google.co.jp/search.....A2&lr=

    However, all the stuff on the Japanese sites seems pretty tame. Nothing to get excited about.
