  [INTERVIEW] Actor Go Soo - Part 1
  2010/11/04, Source
  Go Soo [Chae Ki-won/10Asia] For long, since his debut at the age of 20 in 1998, Go Soo has stolen the hearts of many women with his strong facial features which have earned him the nickname 'Ko-vid', in place of 'David' of the David Statue. Yet instead of believing that his good looks will keep him popular, a mistake so often made by those who are born beautiful, he has been creating his identity as an actor who slowly but steadily and surely has expanded on his realm of acting. After starring in SBS TV series "Piano" in 2001 which won him titles as best new actor and most popular actor at the network's year-end awards ceremony, Go Soo, now 32, still puts in as much thought and effort as he did into his acting when he first made his debut. He was on close to a four-year hiatus to fulfill Korea's mandatory military duties but he has proven he is no less of the actor he was when he stepped out of the public's eye starting 2006,...More

  [INTERVIEW] Actor Go Soo - Part 2
  2010/11/04, Source
  Go Soo [Chae Ki-won/10Asia]  10: There definitely is that sort of consistency to your characters. And that's why it's difficult to imagine you playing a mean role. Go Soo: Whether it be meanness or pureness, I think they all arise from the situation the character is put in. If he was in a situation where he had to be mean, he would look so anyways, even if he didn't put on a nasty expression. 10: But we haven't seen such acting from you yet. Do you maybe not want to try your hand at such roles? Go Soo: I do want to as an actor but it's not that important for me. If I wanted to express such things, it could show in my work in a ridiculous way but what's important for me is the script I have right now. I can play mean roles when I'm handed them or I'm put in a situation too. But what's in my hands now is what's important for me. 10: Then it goes down to the issue of what the creator wants. Are there people who want to use you for such roles? Go Soo: There are. Screenwriters or directors sometimes tell me that it would be great to show a different side to someone like me and that they think a lot about how that can be done. Because someone doing something unlikely of them has greater impact than someone doing something they're likely to do,...More

  Lee Min-jung, works for screen, too... Will she be the 'Next Box Office Queen'?
  2010/10/04, Source
  Actress Lee Min-jung hit double homeruns in both drama and movie. She caught attention by her cute and lively posture in ‘Smile, Love’ and then she also stole audience’s heart by innocent and lovely charm in the film ‘Cyrano Agency’. This is more encouraging than usual because she actually defeats every men’s dream girl Kim Tae-hee to get this result. Since all of her recent main role work became all successful, she became the number one actress. Lee Min-jung debuted by ‘Boys over Flowers’. She left a strong impression by acting Lee Min-ho’s fiancée who has very clear view of her own. Then she built up a lot of experience by appearing in all over the movies and dramas. She did PR by playing in ‘White Night’ starring Go Soo, Son Ye-jin, and also played in 'Searching for the Eplephant' which is movie that goes on main by three main, Jang Hyuk, Jo Dong-hyuk, and Lee Sang-woo. She did best of herself even though her role was tiny compare to the main role.,...More

  Lee Min-jung [Chae Ki-won/10Asia] 10: But aren't you able to use what you watched back then in your acting now? Lee Min-jung: An actor can't experience everything so I think it's a positive thing to see what you've imagined through books in more detail. It's the same with watching other people's acting or a theater performance. So I tended to put in an effort to do as a large variety of this as possible. In middle school, I liked to listen to music so saving up the allowance my mom gives me to buy one or two CDs was the moment I waited for the most. A lot of the music I heard back then is left in my memory but after becoming able to download music or buy several CDs at once now, I just pass the music I don't like. Before I used to listen to a CD on my CD player until I buy a new album. I think such experiences are good. 10: You talk of such experiences in the past tense. Exactly until which point does that apply retroactively? Lee Min-jung:,...More

Son Ye-jin (Son): Up till now, I have played characters that were older than my actual age. I don't really look old, but I had come to choose older parts because I was trying to show my serious, deep side.

  Kang Ji-hwan's Movie Picks
  2009/12/23, Source
  Korean actor Kang Ji-hwan [photographed by Lee Won-woo/10Asia] There are usually two ways that male actors can have a competitive advantage on television and movie screens. He can be drop-dead gorgeous or have drop-dead fantastic acting skills. Of course, not all actors fulfill either one requirement completely, but in most cases one could tell how much an actor satisfied each requirement. But what makes Kang Ji-hwan interesting is that one cannot quite discern exactly how handsome or how great of an actor he is. Of course, Kang Ji-hwan has an attractive smile and is a very detailed actor. But his appeal comes from that certain something that goes beyond good looks and good acting skills. In other words, there are other actors who are more attractive and more talented than he is, but one cannot easily think of any actor that is better suited for roles in the following movies -- Hong Gil-dong in "Hong Gil-dong", Sunwoo Wan in "Capital Scandal" and Jae-joon in "My Girlfriend is an Agent". This isn't simply because he played these characters well. For parts like Hong Gil-dong, who trudges around with a knapsack and a pole, and the cheesy, immature Modern Boy who is busy seducing women in a midst of societal chaos [in "Capital Scandal"), Kang's looks and acting are a perfect fit for making such comic book-ish characters come to life. Few actors can pull off a really difficult role but it is just as rare to find an actor like Kang, who can play around with interesting characters. So it comes as no surprise that Kang would recommend such comical, imaginative movies as below.,...More
