The exposure of actresses in Korean movies has been a hot issue. Everyone wondered how much women expose themselves and if they acted without fear according to their role.

Now, the interest is to the exposure of actors. As much as the female body is beautiful, the male body is too. In promotions of dramas and movies, one used phrase is, "Actors' sexy, muscular bodies, unexpected exposure".

Korea's best bodies, Kwon Sang-woo and Song Seung-heon of "Fate"

The movie "Fate" actually used a still cut of the topless actors as the poster. Kwon Sang-woo, who is viewed as having Korea's 'best body', and Song Seung-heon, with a cigarette in his mouth, both show off their muscular build.

This picture is a capture of when their friendship in the movie is deep. Whether or not there is a need to use a topless picture of them, it is true that it provokes expectation and curiosity for their acting in the movie.

Actors who starred in movies written by Guiyeoni have become top stars in the movie industry. These stars are Kang Dong-won, Jo Han-seon, Song Seung-heon, and Jang Geun-seok.

"Temptation of Wolves" helped Kang Dong-won and Jo Han-seon, who were new actors then, to rise to the top. They played high school students. Kang Dong-won captured the hearts of high school girls with his perfect looks, and Jo Han-seon captured audiences with his tough, rebel image. After this movie, they have been cast in various movies and have become top actors.

Song Seung-heon was in "The Guy Was Cool" as a rebellious high school student and acted with Jeong Da-bin, who is now deceased. He played a trustworthy boyfriend who always helped his girlfriend to get out of trouble. Although he was rough to other friends, he was affectionate toward his girlfriend. He plays a charismatic character in "Fate", which is playing now.

There is an untimely shortage of actresses.

This year, the big successes have been movies about males, including "The Devil's Game", "The Chaser", and "Fate". Also, most upcoming movies, such as "The Guard Post", "Eye for Eye, Tooth for Tooth", "The Good, The Bad, The Weird", and "Shin gi Jun", do not have many actresses.

In the beginning of the year, "Forever the Moment" reached 4 million viewers and there was some expectation for female-centered romance movies, but with the failures of "Hellcats", "Miss Gold Digger", and "The Longest 24 Months", those hopes disappeared.

"Girls Scout", starring Kim Seon-ah and Nah Moon-hee, was set to premiere in April but the date has been postponed.

Maybe for this reason, most top movie actresses are turning their eyes to television. Moon Geun-yeong is preparing for a comeback with the drama "The Garden of Wind", and Kim Ha-neul and Song Yoon-ah, who had been mostly working in movies, are meeting viewers to SBS drama "On Air". It has bee...

One of the most powerful and lasting images in "Sookmyeong" ('Fate'), released on March 20, involves Kim In-kwon as Do-wan, a drug addict notorious for his merciless razor blade skills.

Particularly gruesome is the point when Do-wan uses the much-dreaded weapon against his elusive girlfriend. Even Kim had a hard time figuring out the reason for such a cruel act.

"How can a human being so vicious? Well, I believe Do-wan has a valid reason because he is on the verge of a breakdown after going through a life-or-death moment and, in fact, he has nothing to lose", Kim told The Korea Herald.

Kim, who made his debut as an actor in 1998, has upgraded and amplified his silver-screen image on "Fate". More important, Do-wan's role is central to the movie's plot, together with other central characters played by Korean Wave stars Song Seung-heon and Kwon Sang-woo.

Kim said a little bit of understanding is needed to identify Do-wan's complex and cruel mind-set. "His background is always ...

Actor Kwon Sang-woo revealed his strengths and weaknesses.

In an interview, he joked, "My weakness, although it may be biased, is that I'm tired of hearing criticism about my pronunciation. My strength is that I'm a sensible actor. I'm very focused and I catch what the directors want. I'm a pretty good actor".

In addition, he said, "Honestly, I have a lot of faults, but I try to look at my strengths instead and overcome my weaknesses. It's not like actors work for little pay, and I think actors need to be on set early and do their best to do what the director says".

He also said, "I concentrated on "Fate" a lot, because it was my first thing since resting for two years. I thought I should go back to the intention I had as a beginner. I bought drinks and met with my acting coach and talked about the script a lot. Next door, there were students and new actors practicing for their debut, but I didn't think it was embarrassing".

He added, "I prepared this for my satisfaction an...
