 By Lee Hyo-wonStaff Reporter Jang Dong-gun makes a comeback onscreen as a character not unlike himself ― an eligible bachelor ― in "Good Morning President". The film's press event in southern Seoul Tuesday morning buzzed with reporters, particularly since it is slated to open the 13th Pusan (Busan) International Film Festival, Oct. 8. The latest comedy by prolific director Jang Jin is about three fictional South Korean presidents. Jang returns to the local silver screen four years after "Typhoon" as the youngest ever head-of-state who's equipped with not only charismatic diplomatic skills but also handsome looks. The 37-year-old indeed appeared suave in a clean cut suit and tie. Reporters mischievously asked about his screen persona being dubbed "pretty-boy president" like his actual moniker, "the original pretty-boy actor". "I feel sort of guilty to hear that title at this age, but I have to admit it's not a bad feeling", he said, chuckling. "But I do wish...| More | |||||||||||||||||

Staff Reporter The Pusan (Busan) International Film Festival (PIFF) will open its 14th edition with a star-studded local drama, organizers announced Tuesday, spotlighting the recovery of the South Korean movie industry. The leading Asian event from Oct. 8 to 16 in the southern port city will screen a record lineup of 355 films from 70 countries, including 98 world premieres. The festival kicks off with "Good Morning President", directed by Jang Jin and starring heartthrob Jang Dong-gun and veteran actors Lee Soon-jae and Ko Doo-sim. The three star as three fictitious Korean presidents. The selection garnered much attention since PIFF had in the past made more "experimental", pan-Asian choices such as last year's Kazakh film "Gift to Stalin". The 9.9 billion won event closes with the Chinese spy thriller "The Message", helmed by Taiwan's Chen Guo-fu and China' Gao Qunshu. "Choosing a Korean film as the opening piece has symbolic significance, to revamp ...| More | |||||||||||||||||

| Star director JANG Jin got Korea's leading man JANG Dong-gun to try his hand at comedy for the first time. JANG is set to play a young charismatic president in the upcoming KnJ Entertainment production "Good Morning President". The explosive combination of JANG Jin and JANG Dong-gun turns it into a highly anticipated fall release. HAN Chae-young has been cast in the female lead role. The story will be about three persons who get to meet the president. With JANG Jin at the helm, the film will be spiced up with JANG Jin's characteristic peculiar humour. JANG Dong-gun told reporters that except the young age of the president, the film has no similarities to current U.S. President Obama's story. "Good Morning President" is scheduled for an October release in cinemas. JANG Dong-gun has been absent from the big screen for four years, since he appeared in 2005's "Typhoon". He's best known for the films "Friend" and "Taegukgi". JANG Dong-gun returns this year with two films. Besides "Goo...| More | |||||||||||||||||
