  • [HanCinema at JIFF] Q&A with director Yoong Jong-Chan of "Paparoti"

    2013/04/26,
    After the screening of "Paparoti" on April 26th, Yoong Jong-Chan was available to take questions about the movie. Below is a paraphrased transcript of the session. Film critic Choi Gwang-Hee moderated the exchange and also answered questions. The statements of both are combined here for the sake of convenience. Q: In promotional materials for the movie, scenes in a swimming pool are clearly visible. Why was this not in the final cut? A: We ended up replacing it with the toilet scene, which served the same purpose in the story. We felt that the swimming pool scene went too far with its content, and the actors were also uncomfortable having to bare so much skin,...More
  • Hwang Jeong-min is a jack of all trades

    2013/04/17, Source,
    Hwang Jeong-min plays a middle-aged father who takes part in a boxing reality show to earn money for his troubled daughter in "Fist of Legend". By Kim Kyung-bin Actor Hwang Jeong-min might not be a typical heartthrob. Rather than a glittering look, he has a friendly, familiar face - but he certainly knows how to use his next-door neighborly appearance to his advantage. Combined with his stunning acting abilities, Hwang is able to play a wide range of realistic characters convincingly. There seems to be no limit to the kinds of roles the 43-year-old can take on. In 2005, he starred in the movie "A Bittersweet Life" as a ruthless boss of a gang and "You are my Sunshine" as a naive country man who dedicates his life to his ill-fated lover,...More

  • City transplants are changing the face of Jeju

    2012/12/01, Source,
    Huh Joon-young, 37, used to work at a large public relations company in Seoul, when she spent nearly all of her life until ...ing to Jeju early this year. She purchased an old house by the beach in Seogwipo for 100 million won ($92,200) and remodeled it, which cost her an additional 80 million won, to start a guesthouse business. To come up with the money, she took out a bank loan and used all of her savings. "My husband was opposed to the idea [of ...ing to Jeju] at first, but I persuaded him to think of this as an early preparation for our life after retirement", Huh says. Her husband, who still works in Seoul, comes to Jeju on weekends, a routine that will continue until he finds a job on the Korea's southernmost island. "I was working at a public relations company, and there was no distinction in my life Between weekdays or weekends not to mention Between day and night", she says. "I just felt like I was being drained of life by the intense rat race in Seoul. I was greedy, working to have more than I needed. And if that didn't work out, I felt deprived. I was just sick and tired of comparing and competing,...More

When stricken with a terminal disease, Young-su leaves his careless high life in the city, live-in girlfriend and dwindling business.

Their health improves dramatically but when Young-su’s friends from the city come for a visit, he starts to wonder if he should abandon mundane rural village and return to his former lifestyle.
