Staff Reporter
"I also think it is a superb film", director-actor Yang Ik-joon told The Korea Times in an interview, Thursday, in Seoul, when this reporter complimented his multiple award-winning film "Breathless". "Other directors are going to think I'm nauseating", said the 33-year-old headline maker, exploding into another one of his distinct, high-pitched giggles.
While sporting the same short haircut and mustache, as well the Nike sneakers, from the film, Yang was nothing like the brooding, foul-mouthed thug he played. His feature directorial debut, "Breathless", has swept top awards at numerous film festivals, from Rotterdam to Las Palmas. Naturally, Yang had been giving non-stop interviews but he still beamed with energy at 8:30 p.m.
At the international events, he said he had fun being called "― nom (bastard)" ― a word that appears in almost every line of the movie ― by foreign cineastes and festivalgoers. In Deauville, France, "Breat... |More

Actor Lee Seo-jin, 35, and actress Kim Jeong-eun, 32, were a one-of-a-kind pair, but it looks like fans won't see them wearing couple outfits anymore. And the reasons are not yet apparent.
Kim says Lee broke off the relationship, which had lasted for almost two years. The two started going out after starring together in the SBS TV soap, "Lovers", in 2006.
While Kim has publicly revealed her emotions, Lee is keeping quiet.
"It takes time to heal a physical wound", Kim said last Saturday while recording SBS TV's "Kim Jeong-eun's Chocolate", a music program she hosts.
"Likewise, it's going to take a while to heal my heart, too", she added.
While immersed in deep depression, Kim also said that although she would like to run off somewhere, she has to work. Besides hosting the music program, Kim is playing a role in the MBC TV drama, "General Hospital 2".
"It's hard pretending that I am okay when I'm actually not", she said.... |More

First date after "Lovers" ending party
-It would have been good if your father who passed away saw "Yi San"
"Yes, he was sick for a while and when he turned 66, before the premiere of "Shadowless Sword", he passed away. He didn't approve of his last son becoming an actor, so it's more regretful. My grandfather passed away before "That Female in Your House" too. If he knew his grandson played King Jeong-jo, he would have been happy".
-If your father was reborn, what would you want to do with him?
"I have to do what he wanted. Play golf the whole day, and get drinks at night. I miss him a lot".
-You got closer to Lee Seung-chul with "Phoenix" right? Do you meet him often?
"Of course. I went to a concert with Jeong-eun too. His personality was rough at first but after getting married, he got a lot nicer. So every time I say, "You really met a good wife", he says, "We both met good women. We should always be thankful"".
-When there are many good things at once, don't you get n... |More
