The nation's younger sister, female student, rumors, and woman wearing men's clothes. Anyone can explain their lives in several words. If 21-year-old actress Moon Geun-yeong were to sum up her life, these four words will surface. Everyone who knows her agrees to these words and is curious about them. They also wanted to hear her true thoughts about these words. In the past, she was liked by young and old for her innocent image from "My Little Bride" and many commercials. But after her disappointing movie "Love Me Not", it was hard to see her in dramas or movies.So three years of inactivity. Now, her first steps of her 20s will be as a 'woman dressed in men's clothes', as shocking as a 'high school student who married too early'. In the September SBS drama "Painter of the Wind", she is playing Shin Yun-bok, who is rumored to have gone in as a palace artist dressed as a man. For Moon Geun-yeong, acting was a series of risks like these. As an actress, Moon Geun-yeong's life is not ...| More | ||||||||||

The futures of many child stars were generally depressing.
The childish image and the weight of the years were obstacles for child stars to become adult actors. But even among them, there are stars who have succeeded in transforming into adults. The IS Entertainment Team has picked out the best 5 actors who started out as child stars. The first is the heroine of "New Heart", Kim Min-jeong. Kim Min-jeong, who's charm comes from her big eyes, debuted in 1990 when she was eight, with MBC Best Theater "Widow". In 1992, she received the 'Child Actor Award' from KBS, received the 'Youth Award' in 1998, and received much love for her smart acting. Her official change to adult acting came in 2005 with the drama "Fashion 70s" and in 2006 with the movie "Forbidden Quest". Especially in "Forbidden Quest", she had a daring exposure scene, and fully separated from her innocent, childish image. The second is Moon Geun-yeong, who is transforming from the nation's younger sister to e...| More | ||||||||||
Movie actress Moon Geun-yeong (21)'s comeback drama, SBS "Painter of the Wind" might star Park Shin-yang (40) as the male leading role. Their age difference is 19 years.
Moon Geun-yeong has acted with Kim Joo-hyeok (36) in "Love Me Not" and Park Geon-hyeong (31) in "Innocent Steps". A ten year difference is standard. It is also interesting that she has acted with no one her age except when she starred as Song Hye-kyo (26)'s younger character. The same goes for Ko Ah-ra (18). After graduating from the teen drama "Sharp", she acted with Yoon Kye-sang (30), who graduated from an idol group. Leaving her roles as the rebellious daughter and the innocent girl, she is acting with older men. She is currently acting in MBC "Who Are You - Drama" At first, it was surprising, but now, the age difference between actors and actresses are becoming natural. It is like getting used to scratchy old clothes after wearing them for a long time. It is also like how the stinging smell of ammonia in ...| More | ||||||||||

Many Korean star actresses of the small screen have dismally flopped in movies although they achieve brilliant success and earn astronomical amounts of money in TV commercials. Now Jeon Ji-hyeon is taking the gamble, returning to the silver screen with "A Man Who Was Superman" directed by Jeong Yoon-cheol.She follows in the perilous footsteps of Kim Tae-hee , who recently appeared opposite Seol Kyeong-gu in "Venus and Mars". It attracted a mere 300,000 viewers amid controversy over Kim's poor acting skills, which have been in question since her debut. Ko So-young, whose beauty defies age, was also unlucky in films. Her movies "A.P.T" and "Go Go Sister" were both failures. And Moon Geun-yeong, once considered the queen of the small screen and the nation's little sister, fell flat on her face with "Love Me Not". After a long rest, she announced her return to TV soap opera. Song Hye-kyo, meanwhile, did not meet the expectations of fans in the movie Hwangjin-y - Movie - 2007, alt...| More | ||||||||||
