JO Hyeon-jae and CHEON Ho-jin star in the horror film about a mysterious slaughtering at guard post 506 and the investigating team who gets trapped at the same guard post due to worsening weather. CHEON Ho-jin played in director YOO Ha's crime film "A Dirty Carnival" (Biyeorhan Geori) and alongside JEON Ji-hyeon in "Daisy". JO Hyeon-jae starred in "Untold Scandal" (Scandal).

KONG initially worked as a scenario writer. He wrote the scenario for the JANG Yoon-hyeon directed thriller "Tell Me Something" starring HAN Seok-kyu. He debuted as a director with "R-point" which unfolds in Cambodia where a Korean military unit is dispatched during the Vietnam War.

Kim Hye-seong of "High Kick!" and Lee Hyeon-jin of "Kimchi Cheese Smile" will be portraying homosexuals in a movie. Jo In-seong and Joo Jin-mo have portrayed homosexuals in Director Yoo Ha's movie, but there is great interest in these two, who are starring in an official queer movie.

Kim Hye-seong and Lee Hyeon-jin are the official main characters of the movie "Boy, Meets a Boy", which will start shooting in March. There has been great interest in this movie because Kim Jo Kwang-soo, who gained popularity with his queer movie, "No Regret", wrote the scenario and directed it.

Boy, Meets a Boy is a love story that begins with a boy who meets another boy, who stole his money, on a bus. Kim Hye-seong is Min-soo, who has been robbed, and Lee Hyeon-jin stars as a bad boy.

The producing company plans to donate proceedings to the gay support group, 'Between Friends', which has also planned to participate in the movie production.

There is great expectation to see how Kim Hye-seong a...

Please put a subtitle(English), so foreigners can understand the story. Thanks! leononik 2008-03-15 08:20:19 leononik 2008-03-15 08:15:57 Being homosexual is not a major problem, in fact, it's a major factor to success. You know why a lot of countries are unsuccessful in being one of the top in the world, it's because of the descrimination between people. leononik 2008-03-15 08:11:46 leononik 2008-03-14 05:55:07 What are the rights of the homosexuals in the society! goo!

Director JEONG Yong-ki tried his hand again at comedy and selected a winning leading duo in PARK Yong-woo and LEE Bo-yeong, aptly complemented by a number of supporting roles. The film is situated during the final days of the Japanese colonization of Korea.

"Once upon a Time" is a well balanced heist comedy; including fast and dynamic action and fight scenes, glitter and glamour, and plenty of jokes. The humorous scenario is well handled by the director and the actors' fun during filming is apparent for anybody to see.

PARK transforms from the shy guy who never had a girlfriend in his breakthrough film "My Scary Girl" into a confident player. His eyes are set on the beautiful singer played by LEE, however, she is also pursued by a Korean officer in Japanese service.

PARK, LEE and Korean officers of the Japanese army become entangled in a struggle for a phenomenal diamond; while freedom fighters and pro-Japanese Koreans clash during the dying days of the Japanese occupation....

Star Power Reigns Big Screen

By Lee Hyo-won
Staff Reporter

This year, a long lineup of star-studded movies, both homegrown and Hollywood imports, awaits release with Korea's hottest stars and bona fide actors gracing the silver screen throughout 2008.

While a high profile cast hasn't always guaranteed a sellout, it would be hard to walk past movie posters featuring top stars.

The New Year starts off with a bang. Jeon Ji-hyeon (also known as Gianna Jun) makes her long-awaited comeback after a two-year hiatus opposite Hwang Jeong-min in "A Man Who Was Superman", to open across theaters Jan. 31.

The movie garnered attention by butchering down Jeon's "wholesome" image for the role of a chain-smoking, tomboyish filmmaker. Meanwhile, fans are anxious to see how Hwang will pull off his interesting role as an unconventional Superman.

The red poster of "Hellcats" features three female stars representing their own generation: 47-year-old actress Lee Mi-sook ("Untold Scandal",...

This year, some of the hottest male stars in Korean entertainment will temporarily leave the spotlight to enter the military as part of the two-year service compulsory for all Korean males.

"Coffee Prince" star Gong Yoo met with around 1,000 fans in a special meeting Sunday. He asked fans not to worry while he was serving in the military, but became emotional during the event.

Gong's red-hot career will have to be put on hold for the next two years. The actor, who recently gained popularity for his role in the hit MBC drama, will enter the military Jan. 14.

Last week, actor Cheon Jeong-myeong, who appeared in the film "Hansel and Gretel", and pop group NRG member No Yoo-min started their military training.

Hallyu stars Jo In-seong, Jo Hyeon-jae, Yang Dong-keun, Lee Dong-geon and Kim Rae-won are also expected to enlist this year.

The K-pop music industry will also suffer the temporary loss of Shinhwa members Eric Moon and Kim Don...
