Kang Hye-jeong's Movie Picks (Source)

2010/02/18

Korean actress Kang Hye-jeong [photographed by Lee Jin-hyuk/10Asia]

Kang Hye-jeong has experienced quite a curve during her career as a movie star. The unpredictability in her career shows how eventful the journey was from her starting point leading up to the present. Watching her play the role of Yuki in her debut film "The Butterfly" -- it was directed by Moon Seung-wook and showed Kang's potential as an actor -- makes it hard to think of anyone better for the part. The film "Old Boy", which implanted her name in peoples' minds, also falls into the masterpiece category. Her character Mido in "Old Boy" proclaimed that Kang cannot be fit into a stereotype that had been est... |More

JANG Jin turns JANG Dong-gun into president (Source)

2009/10/16

Director JANG Jin is a peculiar filmmaker who has a gift for approaching subjects from an alternative angle with a typical JANG Jin style of humour. This time JANG delivers his latest film about three fictitious Korean presidents titled Good Morning President.

The biggest name attached to the project is pan-Asian star JANG Dong-gun who will soon enter the international market outside Asia with the film "The Warrior's Way". "The Warrior's Way" also stars Kate Bosworth and Geoffrey Rush.

JANG Dong-gun will play a young president who is also a single father. LEE Soon-jae's character is JANG's character's predecessor in charge of Korea. KO Doo-sim tackles the role of the first female Korean president. All three struggle to combine the demanding position and private life.

Writer/director JANG Jin's filmography includes films like "Guns and Talks" and "Someone Special", and he wrote the scenario for "Welcome to Dongmakgol". "Good Morning President" is the opening film of the 14th ... |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.
