Child actress Kim Sae Ron reveals pictures of her two sisters

02156142.jpg

On May 1st, child actress Kim Sae Ron guested on MBC’s “Entertainment News” and surprised the audience by revealing her two younger siblings.

She introduced them by stating, “I have two younger sisters. The second oldest, Yeron, has a lot of interest in dancing and singing, while Aron is preparing to become an actress herself.”

Viewers gushed over their striking resemblance and praised their doll-like looks. Netizens commented, “Her sisters look like they would be talented just like her”, “So adorable”, “The three sisters are all so beautiful”, and “I hope to see them on TV soon!”

Later on the show, the child actress was also asked whether she still kept in contact with her “The Man From Nowhere” co-star, Won Bin. Her response definitely earned the envy from some Won Bin fans, when she said, “We keep in contact sometimes, but I can’t reply to him all the time because I have class.”

Kim Sae-ron cannot see her own film
By Kim Hee-eun, contributing writer INSIDE Korea JoongAng Daily

17195423.jpg

Thirteen-year-old actress Kim Sae-ron returns with a new film “Do-Hee” - but, once again, she will not be able to see it when it comes out, because the Korea Media Rating Board ruled that the film is not suitable for those under 19.
Directed by award-winning filmmaker Jung Joo-ri, “Do-Hee” follows the tale of a young girl in a remote sea town.
After her mother runs away, Do-hee is left with her brutal and abusive stepfather. 
Do-hee is saved by a police officer, played by actress Bae Doo-na, of “Cloud Atlas” (2013), which leads to the girl developing an obsession with her rescuer.
“The visual images of the film are so vivid that some young people might copy the behavior,” said the ratings board in a press release. “It apparently needs proper parental guidance as some scenes are very direct and violent.”
After debuting in 2009, Kim rose to fame through the violent thriller “The Man from Nowhere” (2010). 
Today’s press premiere for “Do-Hee” was canceled because of Wednesday’s ferry disaster.

A GIRL AT MY DOOR Invited to Un Certain RegardCannes Midnight Screenings Aim for THE TARGET by Pierce Conran KOFIC
20140418020711_0.jpg

Yesterday evening, the Cannes Film Festival held its main press conference for this year’s edition, where festival director Thierry Fremaux revealed the films that will screen in the Main Competition and Un Certain Regard, as well as the Special Screenings, Midnight Screenings and Out of Competition Films. Among the films announced were two Korean titles. A Girl at My Door, the debut film of director JUNG Joo-ri, was invited to compete in the Un Certain Regard section. The film stars BAE Doo-na as a police officer who tries to protect a young girl (KIM Sae-ron) from her violent father. A Girl at My Door is produced by LEE Chang-dong, a well-regarded figure at Cannes who has presented award-winning films such as Secret Sunshine (2007) and Poetry (2010). He also served as head of the Critic’s Week Jury in 2011. Two Korean films have won the Un Certain Regard Prize in the past: HONG Sangsoo’s HaHaHa in 2010 and KIM Ki-duk’s Arirang in 2011. This year’s Midnight Screenings will include the action-thriller The Target, from Death Bell (2008) director Chang. RYU Seung-ryong stars as a mercenary for hire who finds himself a target in someone else’s plot. He winds up in hospital and then with the help of a medical resident (LEE Jin-wook) goes on the run. The last Korean film to screen in the Midnight Screenings was NA Hong-jin’s The Chaser in 2008. Prior to the conference, the Short Film Competition and Cinefondation lineup were announced, and the latter will feature SOOM (Breath), a new student short from Chung-ang University. SOOM is a 33-minute short from director KWON Hyun-ju. Last year’s Cinefondation also featured a Korean short, KIM Soo-jin’s Line. The International Critics’ Week and Director’s Fortnight lineups will be revealed early next week. This year’s 67th Cannes International Film Festival will take place from May 14th to 25th.

Director Jung Ju Ri said, “I can’t believe that my first full length film will be shown at Cannes Film Festival. I’m thankful and happy.”
Dohee-ya depicts the story of a 14 year old girl Dohee (Kim Sae Ron) suffering from domestic violence, who gets help from the town’s new police officer Young Nam (Bae Doo Na), but falls into a crisis due to the trap of her stepfather, Yong Ha (Song Sae Byeok).

Three Korean films to be featured at Cannes
By Claire Lee (dyc@heraldcorp.com) The Korea Herald

cannes2014.jpg

Three Korean films have been invited to this year’s Cannes International Film Festival, according to the movies’ local promoters.
Actress Bae Doo-na’s latest drama film “A Girl at My Door” will be screened in the festival’s Un Certain Regard section, along with Ryan Gosling’s “Lost River” and Wang Chao’s “Fantasia,” and 16 others, while director Chang’s “The Target” has been included in the Midnight Screenings section. Chung-Ang University student Kwon Hyun-ju’s short “Breath” will be screened in the Cinefondation section.
“A Girl at My Door” is filmmaker July Jung’s feature debut. It tells the story of a policewoman named Young-nam (Bae), who gets placed in a rural port town after being demoted in the city. 
The plot of the film develops as Young-nam meets local teenager Do-hee (played by Kim Sae-ron), who is exposed to constant physical abuse, and tries to find ways to help her. Actor Song Sae-byeok, who gave memorable performances in “The Servant” (2010) and “The Suck Up Project” (2012), is appearing as Do-hee’s stepfather.
Director Chang’s “The Target” is a Korean remake of 2010 French action-thriller “Point Blank.” Starring Ryu Seung-ryong (“Miracle in Cell No. 7”) and Yoo Jun-sang, the film evolves around an ordinary doctor who is desperate to save his pregnant and kidnapped wife, as well as an ex-mercenary killer who is framed for the murder of an influential corporate leader. 
Meanwhile, Kwon Hyun-ju’s short film “Breath” has been included in the festival’s Cinefondation section, which focuses on films made by film school students. Kwon’s film, which deals with the emotional turmoil of a daughter whose mother has been living in a coma, is one of the 16 films selected. A total of 1,631 films were submitted for the section, from 320 different schools worldwide. 
No Korean films are in this year’s competition lineup. Im Sang-soo’s drama “The Taste of Money” was the last Korean film to be screened in competition at Cannes, in 2012.

Kim Sae-ron becomes high school angel by girlfriday http://www.dramabeans.com/2014/05/kim-sae-ron-becomes-high-school-angel/

Okay, time is seriously flying by if Kim Sae-ron (Queen’s Classroom, Ajusshi) is going to play a high-schooler. It doesn’t seem right, but the math says she’s a teenager and the casting stories confirm that she’ll be headlining the new KBS teen drama High School as its leading lady. Though the series is being called a remake of the early-2000s school drama Sharp, High School will actually be a fantasy story about an angel who tries to save a high school boy and gets stuck being human. Man, and as a high-schooler at that. As if getting your wings clipped wasn’t bad enough, you get hormones and homework too?
Kim Sae-ron will play the angel who watches over the district where Infinite’s Nam Woo-hyun lives. In trying to save his life, she becomes human (presumably because angels shouldn’t be intervening in human affairs, if angel TV lore has taught me anything). And so she ends up going to high school with him, and is as pure and naive and totally clueless about the world as you’d expect. At least there’s an actual reason for the heroine to be as pure as the driven snow, instead of just “because she’s a girl,” which, gag. But newly human is suddenly far more interesting.
Woo-hyun’s character is a Cassanova-type, and his main rival will be played by Lee Sung-yeol (also of idol group Infinite). They’re both popular with all the girls, but it’ll be Kim Sae-ron’s angel who commands their attention. 4Minute’s Nam Ji-hyun has also been cast in a supporting role. It’s being called a “fantasy coming-of-age drama” and with the new supernatural angle, it could be an interesting departure from the usual high school dramas that we see.
High School will be a 20-episode series beginning in June, and the network is still hashing out details over the timeslot.

[Herald Review] ‘A Girl at My Door’ powerful, resonating study of the alienatedFilmmaker July Jung goes to Cannes with her debut feature
By Claire Lee The Korea Herald

20140513000626_0.jpg

In a quiet, seemingly uneventful Korean port town, Young-nam (Bae Doo-na), a young woman with a pale face, arrives as the head of its police substation ― after being demoted from Seoul. All of her subordinates in the station are men, most of whom are older than she. On her way to her new house in the village, she runs into Yong-ha (Song Sae-byeok), “the man who runs the economy of the town,” who smiles derisively after learning that Young-nam is the new chief officer.
Filmmaker July Jung’s feature debut “A Girl at My Door,” which has been invited to the Un Certain Regard section of this year’s Cannes International Film Festival, was unveiled to the local press on Monday. 
“I guess one of the reasons why I wrote this story was because I was lonely myself,” filmmaker Jung told reporters. “I wanted to tell a story about lonely people, and how they can comfort each other ― and explore if that is actually possible.”
And her film does just that. Young-nam, though seemingly content, is in fact deeply troubled. She cannot sleep without the help of soju, so she keeps the transparent liquor in countless water bottles ― making it look as if what she is consuming every day is water. 
20140513000625_0.jpg

The peaceful rural town very soon reveals its brutal and violent side when Young-nam runs into Do-hee (Kim Sae-ron), Yong-ha’s teenage stepdaughter who is exposed to constant physical abuse. She also learns that Yong-ha helps local fisheries hire undocumented immigrants, many of whom are underpaid or not paid at all. Most of the locals, however, keep silent about the injustices that Do-hee and the migrant workers endure, as Yong-ha helps them make money. The village is mostly populated by aging natives, as their children all leave for cities once grown.
The film pays most attention to Young-nam’s relationship with Do-hee, who, in director Jung’s words, “doesn’t even realize she is lonely.” The teenager is constantly beaten by her stepfather and her grandmother, and also bullied by her classmates at school. Concerned for Do-hee’s safety, Young-nam keeps the teenager at her house. For the first time in her life, Do-hee meets someone who does not beat her and who actually calls her by her name ― the Korean title of the film is “Doheeya,” which translates to “Hey Do-hee” ― instead swearing at her. But Do-hee’s happy period abruptly ends when Yong-ha finds out Young-nam’s secrets, which are linked to why she was demoted back in Seoul, and uses them against her. 
Aside from its main plot, which deftly blends mystery and thriller, the film does an impressive job of tackling modern Korean social issues, including homosexuality, small-town politics, migration and labor. What’s most resonating, arguably, is Young-nam’s first encounters with Do-hee and the migrant workers, and her look of vulnerability when she witnesses the injustice; in spite of her authority, Young-nam, who is forced to keep one of her identities a secret, knows she shares more in common with the abused than her fellow officers. In spite of her isolation, which even leads her to alcoholism, her integrity does not allow her to compromise in order to fit in. The three lead actors, especially Bae, offer memorable performances as troubled, lonely and searching souls.

Four Korean Actresses to Attend Cannes Film Festival by timmydee http://www.soompi.com/2014/05/13/four-korean-actresses-to-attend-cannes-film-festival/#.U3L1aoGSwsA

Korean-actresses.jpg
Four Korean actresses are heading to the Cannes International Film Festival, which begins May 14. Jeon Do Yeon, Song Hye Kyo, Bae Doo Na and Kim Se Ron are all bound for the south of France, where they are set to take part in media activities. Jeon Do Yeon won the Best Actress award at the festival in 2007 for her role in “Secret Sunshine,” directed by Lee Chang Dong, and will be a member of the jury panel this year.
Lee Chang Dong is well-known at the iconic film festival. He won an award for Best Screenplay in 2010 for the movie “Poetry.” His latest film, “A Girl at My Door,” starring Bae Doo Na and Kim Se Ron, will be screening at Cannes, with both actresses in attendance.
Also attending the festival is Song Hye Kyo, who will be joining John Woo, director of her forthcoming movie, “The Crossing,” for a press conference and a series of interviews. Although “The Crossing” will not be shown at Cannes, its makers are hopeful that, with the world’s media in attendance, they can stir up interest for the movie, which is slated for release in winter this year.

SHOWBIZ: A look at Cannes, Asian
By Gertjan Zuilhof New Straits Times
Will Cannes 2014 be a good year for Asian Cinema? Gertjan Zuilhof looks at selected films that are to be screened
FOR this year’s Cannes International Film Festival, let’s start with the smallest but important section at the festival, namely The Critics Week.
In the week before the announcement for the nominated films, I was in Beijing and the Chinese filmmakers were curious to know if one particular young Chinese (only first and second films from a filmmaker are eligibly for entry for The Critics Week) had made it. Rumour had it that this year’s event will see no Asian films competing in this section. Sadly, the rumour turned out to be true.
But in other, and seemingly more important sections, works by Asian filmmakers seem to be thriving.
The Director’s Fortnight is officially not part of the festival, being originally a “protest” section to the final nominated films, but it has been part of what the festival is all about — like the red carpets and the rise of petty crime (pick pockets) during this period.
The Fortnight brings two Asian films: a Japanese animation film called Kaguya-hime no monogatari (The Story Of Princesse Kaguya) by veteran director Isao Takahata and the South Korean Kkeut-kka-ji-gan-da (A Hard Day) by Seong-hun Kim, a police crime movie.
Certain Regards is the official section that, next to the Competition, shows a programme with lesser known filmmakers or younger directors. Here, we find a South Korean film Dohee-Ya (A Girl At My Door) by July Jung, and Fantasia, a movie from mainland China by Wang Chao which seems to follow on his series of films highlighting on the problems of living in modern China.
The South Koreans do well this year because there is an entry in the Midnight Screening (mostly for the more violent genre films) by a director who goes by the name Chang, with his work Pyo Jeao (The Target).
Not in the Competition section, but to be screened during the festival is the new film by Zhang Yimou called Coming Home. Yimou is, no doubt, one of the biggest names around and this time, he tells a story about a woman writer (played by Gong Li) set during the Cultural Revolution.
The most prestigious slot in The Competition for an Asian filmmaker this year is given to the well-known Japanese female director Naomi Kawase with her new film, Still The Water. The movie, set on the subtropical Japanese island of Amami, may just be her lucky entry to win the Golden Palm award.
The Cannes International Film Festival is from tomorrow until May 25

July Jung work selected by Cannes
By CARLA SUNWOOKorea JoongAng Daily

Bae Doo-na will make a comeback to Korean cinema with “A Girl at My Door” (Dohee-ya) this month. The film made this year’s Cannes’ official selection, or Un Certain Regard, and is one of the three Korean films invited this year. 
Bae, 34, who has spent the last few years working on Hollywood films, from “Cloud Atlas” (2012) to “Jupiter Ascending,” (2014), takes on the role of a policewoman named Young-nam who is transferred from Seoul to a seaside town. 
Although she tries to remain low-key at the request of her superiors, Young-nam starts rocking the boat in order to protect a young girl named Do-hee (Kim Sae-ron) who is being abused by her stepfather. 
Director July Jung said she was thrilled to have her first feature “about lonely people” screen at Cannes. 
“I wasn’t expecting this at all, even now it doesn’t feel real,” Jung said.
For Bae, who said she labors over every script pitched to her, “A Girl at My Door” was a no-brainer. “I was won over in record time,” she said, attributing time spent abroad for being able to relate to the loneliness that pervades the film. 
“I fell for this Do-hee character, and regardless of who would be playing [her], I wanted to be there supporting her.” The film opens May 22.
