`Attack' Serves Super-Sized Comedy

Imagine good-looking boys reigning at the top of a kingdom called high school: Choose your favorite among lace-clad Little Prince types to tough, sexy guys or clean-cut charmers.

S.M. Pictures of S.M. Entertainment, the production company that pumped out K-pop icons like BoA, H.O.T. and S.E.S., didn't have to look far for casting stars of their first filmmaking venture. Featuring all 13 members of the super-sized boy band Super Junior -- and a panda bear, "Attack on the Pin-Up Boys" is, well, super-sized.

With grossly exaggerated yet believable dialogue and flashy after effects (graphic images, like hearts popping out of characters' eyes), "Attack" is over the top. Instead of falling into the trap of traditional Korean idol films, this teen movie plunges directly into them -- by fully "exploiting" pretty faces, it manages to pull together something surprisingly bemusing.

Super Junior, one of the most popular boy bands in K-pop, is making their big screen debut with the film "Attack on the Pin-up Boys" this month.

At first glance, the film may seem like another "idol movie" meant to show off the charms of Super Junior's good-looking members, rather than their acting ability.

However, Park Jeong-su, the group's leader who is also known as Lee Teuk, said he hopes people would not judge the film as just an "idol movie". "Since we debuted (as a group), we announced we will work not just as singers, but also as MCs and actors. I hope people will get rid of their prejudices a little, and watch us as new actors, not as singers", he said, during the film's press conference at Imperial Palace Hotel in Apgujeong, Thursday.

Since Super Junior is one of most popular groups today, there are a lot of high expectations for the film. The film, with a budget of 850 million won, is the first to be produced by S.M. Enter...| More
