kofic ] Born in 1973, JEON Do-yeon started out as a model, making her first appearances in TV ads, before moving to TV series starting with <Our Heaven> in 1992. After a series of small roles, she was first noticed in the series <Our Sunny Days of Youth> (1995) and gained wider recognition in 1997 with a supporting role in <Star in My Heart>, one of the earliest Korean shows to find success in other Asian countries. JEON shot to stardom later that year when she was cast as the female lead of <The Contact>, her first film project, starring alongside Han Sukkyu. Having received Best New Actress at both the Grand Bell Awards and the Blue Dragon Film Awards, she was offered a lot of roles during the next few years which allowed her to exhibit the full range of her acting skills. From an attractive career woman who gives a sleeping pill to her new-born baby in <Happy End> (1999) to a teenage student who has a crush on her teacher in <The Harmonium in My Memory> (1999), Jeon perfectly captured two extremely different personae without losing her distinctive style and charm. In <No Blood, No tears> (2002), she was a strong, battle-hardened woman while in <Untold Scandal> (2003) she played a morally upright widow who falls victim to a Casanova. She delivered striking performances as a HIV-positive prostitute who falls in love in <You Are My Sunshine> (2005), and her turn as a mother who wails at the loss of her son in <Secret Sunshine> (2007) received rave critical reviews as well as the Best Actress award when it debuted in Cannes, bringing her international fame. She was invited to the French festival a few years later for her role in <The Housemaid> (2010). 2011 saw Jeon in a rare genre film appearance in <Countdown>. Jeon took on her next role in Pang Eunjin’s drama <Way Back Home> (2013), in which she appeared as a mother and wife who ends up unfairly incarcerated in a distant country. The star earned many plaudits for her performance. Also in 2013, she was invited to join the jury for the main competition of the Cannes Film Festival, after <Secret Sunshine> director Lee Chang-dong became the first Korean to receive such honor. She next appeared in the 2014 period blockbuster <Memories of the Sword> alongside Lee Byunghun. In 2015, she starred in OH Seung-uk’s <The Shameless> in which she played the girlfriend of a murder suspect who becomes involved with the detective (played by Kim Namgil) investigating the case. The film was invited to screen at Cannes’ Un Certain Regard section. In 2019, Jeon earned more Best Actress awards with her performance in Lee Jongun's <Birthday> in which she played a mother who lost her son in the tragic Sewol Ferry incident. She then joined the star-studded black comedy <Beasts Clawing at Straws>, which won the Special Jury Award at the International Film Festival Rotterdam. Jeon was last seen in the aviation disaster movie <Emergency Declaration> (2021).

The Chameleon of Korean Cinema

 

koreanfilm ] Jeon Do-yeon (b. February 11, 1973) spent five years starring in television dramas before achieving instant star status with her film debut opposite Han Seok-kyu in The Contact. She went on to establish a reputation as a "chameleon" who can take on a wide variety of roles, from her performance as a doctor in the hit melodrama A Promise, to that of a schoolgirl in Harmonium in My Memory to that of a wife having an adulterous affair in Happy End. In 1999 and 2000 she received a Best Actress award from both the Blue Dragon and the Grand Bell awards for her role in Harmonium in My Memory.

 

In 2001 she very skillfully played a very ordinary bank teller in Park Heung-sik's debut I Wish I Had a Wife. After starring as the tough-talking "Sunglasses" in Ryoo Seung-wan's No Blood No Tears, Jeon spent time acting in a TV drama titled "Shoot for the Stars".   In 2003 she found box-office success in E J-yong's Untold Scandal, based on the famous French novel Dangerous Liasions. The following year she re-united with director Park Heung-sik in a dual role for the time-bending melodrama My Mother, the Mermaid.

 

In 2005 Jeon burst back into the limelight playing a prostitute who contracts AIDS in Park Jin-pyo's hard-hitting melodrama You're My Sunshine. The performance helped turn the film into a box-office hit (3 million+ admissions), and also won her yet more additions to her collection of local acting awards. 

 

But it was her role in Lee Chang-dong's Secret Sunshine in 2007 that would see her emerge in full glory. Although the film itself, which debuted at Cannes, evoked widely differing assessments from international critics, Jeon's performance was universally praised, and indeed she was presented with a Best Actress award by the Cannes jury -- the first Korean ever to receive an acting award at Cannes.

 

Although not as broadly popular with audiences as some other stars, Jeon is widely respected for her acting abilities, and many young actresses cite her as a role model.

Interview excerpts:
"I enjoy acting a great deal, so I feel no need or desire to be called a great actor. This is partly my personality, but also the fact that I get so absorbed in acting, to where I can't see or think of anything else. I can't tell you what great acting is, but for me, it is to give everything you have with honesty, sincerity and persistence." [Kino, #56, October 1999]

She’s Jeon Doyeon.  Any more explanation do we need?


Jeon Doyeon is a common noun in the Korean film industry, which means the best acting and the best actor.  When you see the name ‘Jeon Doyeon’ in a movie or a drama, that’s it.  We don’t need any more explanation of the work.  After appearing in a TV series with a young face in the 1990s and making a film debut through The Contact (1997), Jeon has been called the ‘representative actor of Korea’ for 20 years.  When she won the Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival for the first time as a Korean actor with Secret Sunshine (2007), the world may have been surprised, but Jeon Doyeon did not seem to be surprised at all.  When receiving a trophy from Alain Delon, Jeon only made a ‘dazzling smile’ familiar to the Korean movie-goers.  It was her first winning of the overseas film festival award, but it didn’t seem too heavy.  In a later interview, Jeon Doyeon talked about it honestly.  She said, “Winning a prize is not the goal I want to achieve.  It’s an honor to have it, but I’m still hungry.  Because I’m changing now, and I have a lot more to show you.”  This is why Jeon Doyeon’s heyday never ends.

 
Over the past two decades, Jeon Doyeon’s film history has largely been divided into three parts.  The first category is ‘The Queen of Melo-dramas.’  Through The Contact, a lonely woman who soothed her thirst for love with artificial tears suddenly emerged as a representative of Korean melodramas.  The romance Jeon Doyeon played was greatly loved by the audience, including a hot woman who threw everything at the fateful love (A Promise, 1998), a shy 17-year-old girl who fell in love with a crush (The Harmonium in My Memory, 1999), and a woman who never let go of love in the face of death (You are My Sunshine, 2005).  In every work, Jeon Doyeon appeared with a new face that we never imagine in her previous films.  If you are an overseas audience, you will be surprised to meet Jeon Doyeon for the first time with any of her movies, but particularly, you mustn’t miss Happy End (1999) and Untold Scandal (2003).  It is always surprising to see that the same actor played totally different characters; a woman, who cries while giving sleeping pills to her young daughter to meet her lover secretly; a woman in the Joseon Dynasty, who is overwhelmed by the joy of love in her life.

 
And finally, Jeon Doyeon won the protagonist in Director Lee Changdong’s Secret Sunshine.  The pain of a mother who lost her only son.  While playing the character, Jeon Doyeon collapses bearing the pain that her fragile body can’t handle.  Through every scene she plays, her pain hits the heart of the audience.  Especially, the scene where she murmurs to God while walking at night is horrifyingly realistic.  Although Jeon never had experienced such heartbreaking emotions, she expressed them naturally like a mother who had experienced them thousands of times.  The pure madness in The Housemaid (2010), the miserable loneliness in Way Back Home (2013), the nasty love in The Shameless (2014), and the heartbreaking tears in Birthday (2019), we experience every emotion through Jeon Doyeon’s acting.  While we are immersed in the emotions she left behind, the actor advances to another Jeon Doyeon’s character.

 
Best, representative, extraordinary, and irreplaceable, etc.   These modifiers cannot help but be burdensome to the actor and she knows the weight.  She confessed that she was in agony to perform better for a moment.  At that time, Actor Youn Yuhjung sent her a short message that said, “Don’t worry.  You’re Jeon Doyeon.”  We all know what Youn knows, too.  She is Jeon Doyeon.  What further explanation do we need?  We’re just waiting for her next film.  [Written by Park Hyeeun | Published in May 2021]

[Cannes May 27, 2007 - Best Leading Actress: Jeon Do-yeon in "Secret Sunshine" | Cr: AFP]

The prize for Best Leading Actress was awarded by Alain Delon to South Korean actress Jeon Do-yeon for her performance in Secret Sunshine by Lee Chang-dong.
Jeon Do-yeon was overjoyed: "Good evening. I can't believe I'm up here. I heard that there were masses of wonderful actresses during the Festival; I hope that I might be able to represent them today. I am truly honored, in any case, to have this Prize; I don't know how to receive it... Of course, I want to thank the Cannes Festival and the members of the Jury. I thank director Lee Chang-dong, who gave me the opportunity to play this role, and especially the actor Song Kang-ho, thanks to whom I was able to exist. I thank all of you who appreciated this film Secret Sunshine. I will never forget it, for the rest of my life. Thank you very much!"
At the laureates' press conference, Jeon Do-yeon added this about her award: "It's the first time I've come to a foreign festival. I was very honored to be invited to a festival as big as Cannes. Naturally, I'm delighted to have received this Best Actress award. Before the ceremony, I was really tense; I did all I could to relax, saying to myself that nothing would happen. The people around me wouldn't stop talking to me about it, and I realy felt like hiding. I'd like to thank you all."

^^ yeheeey!!! :w00t:

wow! a soompi thread about jdy. thanks yoonah! props! props!

yes, she is a chameleon! a great one. she's terrific in all of her popular movies, which would include... all of them!?! hihi.. well at least, those that were available on dvd and with english subs, and they were a handful of movies, where imo, she always shines in... ok, ok, maybe except untold scandal (imo), really didn't like that movie very much. :P

adorable (and kim ju hyuk) in lovers in prague, funny in her cutesy dance in shoot for the stars (with jo in sung)... oh and there was star in my heart with choi jin shil (another fave k-actress of mine, hehe, well after watching rosy life and the letter :)), the hair! hihi.

It's about time for a JDY thread, good for you... yoonah, for taking the lead. :) She's a chameleon indeed.

Btw, the awards list is not really updated, right... JDY had won at least 2 Best Actress awards last year.

For the new thread, previous article on JDY.

Jeon Do-youn's multiple hits stem from passion for acting

Ironically, a certain similarity runs between the two utterly different characters of a seedy tearoom waitress and a gorgeous daughter of the president when played by Jeon Do-youn, one of the nation's most bankable actresses.

In the two contrasting characters, viewers discover a similar naive and fragile soul which seems to speak for itself. The 32-year-old actress fills up every role she takes with the same honest soul, giving life to the fictional characters.

Thanks to the nation's acting queen, director Park Jin-pyo's movie "You Are My Sunshine" and the SBS weekend primetime drama "Lovers of Prague" are overwhelmingly popular simultaneously. The movie is currently a No. 1 box-office hit, filling 917,000 seats in the first week of release, and the drama is also enjoying a commanding popularity with an over 20 percent viewer rating in its first week.

200509280017.gif

Jeon Do-youn in "You Are My Sunshine" (left) and "Lovers of Prague"

In "You are My Sunshine," Jeon plays the role of a pitiful tearoom waitress who is also a sex worker. The waitress moves to a rural area away from Seoul to escape her abusive husband, and later falls in love with a farmer who showers her with love and gives her new hope. But as the cruelty of life flows, she is faced with the fact that she is infected with HIV, and her new love turns into another despair.

From the hardened woman, Jeon manages to bring out a fragile soul which arouses the viewers' sympathy. When played by Jeon, the woman is no longer just a pitiful sex worker, but instead, becomes a vulnerable - and perhaps even humdrum - woman with a lust for love and affection.

The same effect occurs in the TV drama "Lovers of Prague," when Jeon turns the charming daughter of the nation's most powerful man into a clumsy woman who likes eating junk food on the streets like every young Korean woman. From this character that appears to have everything - wealth, fame and beauty - Jeon manages again to bring out a soul of a naive and ordinary woman who has a lust for love like everyone else.

When a first love announces that he is leaving her, the "superwoman" replies "So, does this mean I'm being dumped?" without much feeling. But through Jeon's acting, viewers can see how much hurt the character is holding back in those numb words.

It is rare for a movie and a drama with the same leading actor or actress to become major hits at the same time. And often, actors and actresses avoid such cases, due to the risk of confusing audiences.

But Jeon managed to pull both roles off perfectly without causing any confusion.

While presenting lifelike acting for two completely different characters, Jeon never fails to turn the roles into her own, by blowing her own soul into each character.

When Jeon made her debut in the campus romantic drama "Our Heaven" in 1992, she was recognized as "just another" young and charming actress who arrived in TV land.

But since the 1997 movie "Contact," Jeon is considered by producers to have established herself as one of Korea's most-wanted actresses for the big screen.

Unlike other popular actresses who often face setbacks after a few major hits, Jeon's acting career has been a string of successes with hits like "Harmonium in My Heart" and "Happy End."

Jeon is regarded as an actress who has a "perspective-view" for choosing the right roles that can be best acted by her. And after making a choice, Jeon immediately pours all of her passion into the role.

"Often, it's hard to get back to real life after I finish a movie or a drama, because I truly believe that I am the character while the shooting is in process," Jeon once said in an interview with a local monthly magazine. "It's a bit like suffering from a broken heart, seeing from a fact that I always end up mourning over the characters as if they had been my lovers."

While acting, Jeon chooses to remain an "ordinary" person you expect to find on the streets, unlike other actresses who often strive to stand out from other people. Thus to women, Jeon is someone they could never hate or be jealous of, and to men, she becomes a symbol of an ordinary but lovable woman whom they hope to meet in real life one day.

Jeon's major power on the screen and TV was evidently not formed in one day. The actress' continuous efforts to develop a "sixth sense" for the right roles and to grasp viewers' expectations appears to have brought her the current success.

yeah, if i remember correctly, for you are my sunshine, the film critics award (tie with lee young ae), and 4th korean film awards (?).. she also won the dae sang award (10 most popular also) at the year-end sbs acting awards, for lovers in prague.. i believe she also bagged some for her performance in 'my mother, the mermaid' in 2004, two or three i think, not sure which though. :)

Jeon Do Yeon, Next Year I Will Marry

20050923_20_01.jpg

Jeon Do Yeon's love is bold. I don't know how she feels about her love described as "bold", but as I sat across her during the interview, I could not help but think so. She was honest about her experience in love, and she possessed unshakeable hope and conviction in love. Once a person crosses into the thirties, both men and women have scars from past love experiences and tend to settle for something less than love or give up on love completely. Jeon Do Yeon, on the other hand, says "love is a topic that can never be talked about enough, and there's always something more to say." And through her current movie "You Are My Sunshine" (directed by Park Jin Pyo, produced by b.o.m. Film Production Co., Ltd) which hit the theaters Sept. 23, she talks about love.

The Woman Who Loves Love

Jeon Do Yeon is a favorite of melodrama movies, and has been holding fast to her favored genre by filming only melodrama movies. The movie "You Are My Sunshine" is also a story of love in the traditional melodrama frame. She admits, "I do not feel too attracted to movies that do not deal with the theme of love." A transformation for Jeon Do Yeon stays within the frame of melodrama, showing different types of love.

"There are many different types of love I have yet to do in movies, and "You Are My Sunshine" is a movie that deals with love in a different light from my previous works," she says. Her previous movies like "The Harmonium in My Memory", "Scandal", and "My Mother, The Mermaid" dealt with a one-sided, almost platonic love. But in this recent film, she is the receiver of love. One way to characterize the love she receives is to say that it is "overwhelming." Whether such love does exist is almost doubtful.

She states, "I've been the giver and receiver of love many times. But this kind of love, I've never received before. And while filming the movie, I was able to reconsider love. I will not loose my faith in love."

Jeon Do Yeon and the Image

Jeon Do Yeon has multiple images, and if her fans were to state her image, the answers would vary. The most commonly acknowledged image is that of a "white slate." She seems to absorb whatever pictures projected onto her, and at the same time she seems to erase them as easily. Of those many images she has created through her movie roles, one image that cannot be left out is that her characters are all honest. For those with a mentality of "my love is romance, other's love is an affair", she is honest to the point where it reaches the point of boldness. The character Eun Ha in "You Are My Sunshine" is also no ordinary woman, who goes from being a tearoom waitress to a victim of HIV, Eun Ha lives a life of adverse fortunes.

According to Jeon Do Yeon, "the thought that certain roles might hurt my image has never crossed my mind. I believe that if an actor is preoccupied with the image, then it limits the actor's potentials and ultimately becomes the actor's loss."

Dreaming of Marriage

She is now thirty-two years old. At this time in life, a person can feel drained and dream of becoming a different person. And Jeon Do Youn is not exception. She is now looking toward marriage, the traditional step in life. "When the right time comes..." is the most common response to marriage by most celebrities, but Jeon Do Yeon gives a different answer. She firmly states, "next year." To use her expression, "I don't have a special other at the moment, but I have a strong, though unfound, feeling that I will marry next year."

"Every time I go to a fortune teller, I"m always told I'll be married next year. And even though I'm not firm believer of fortune-telling, it’s still a consolation to be told so. I’m quite simple-minded, aren't I?"

The Contact (1997)

Starring: Han Seok Kyu, Jeon Do Yeon, Choo Sang Mi

Screenplay: Jang Yoon Hyeon, Jo Myeong Joo, Kim Eun Jeon

Director: Jang Yoon Hyeon

Genre: Romance, Drama

http://movie.naver.com/

Stills

th_contact_still_1.jpg th_contact_still_2.jpg th_contact_still_3.jpg th_contact_still_4.jpg th_contact_still_5.jpg th_contact_still_6.jpg

The Contact was a breakthrough hit in 1997 that catapulted Jeon Do-yeon to stardom and took many Korean viewers by surprise: they had never expected such an urbane, meticulously constructed, intelligent melodrama from Korean filmmakers. The Contact is indeed an immensely well-crafted film: it cannot be brushed off as a gimmick movie about an internet romance ("A boy and a girl chat in the internet: they fall in love: will they recognize each other when they meet offline?"), or a star vehicle for Jeon and Han Suk-kyu, wonderful as they are in their respective roles. However, even after watching the film three times, and for each time being thoroughly absorbed and entertained by it, I still find the film a bit artificial and pandering to the fantasy of its target audience, which the producer admitted was young female workers ("office ladies").

The film is masterfully orchestrated by Director Jang Yoon-hyun. He had studied cinema in Hungary and co-produced and edited a powerful leftist polemic Before the Strike,(1990) and yet for his own directorial films, The Contact and Tell Me Something, (1999) he chose to make big-budgeted commercial products operating within the boundaries of melodrama and horror-thriller genres. For that reason, and perhaps also due to the paucity of his directorial output (he has been more active as a producer in recent years) Jang is seldom discussed in the same breaths with such auteurs as Im Kwon-taek, Kim Ki-duk and Hong Sang-soo. However, in my opinion, Jang is one of the most visually interesting directors currently working in Korean cinema. I am always intrigued by his color schemes, (in The Contact, blues and purples contrasted to beiges and greens, for instance) that call to mind the Italian masters of 1960s and 70s, and his blockings and camera setups are interesting without calling attention to themselves (Greatly aided by his Director of Cinematography Kim Seon-bok, also responsible for Shiri [1999], JSA [2000] and My Sassy Girl [2001]). Yet, Jang is not a stylist-for-the-sake-of-style-only: his "pictures" are for the most part subordinated to the art of storytelling. Indeed, he is several miles ahead of many younger, supposedly more visually-oriented Korean directors in terms of the economy, efficiency and originality of his visual idioms.

One problem I have with The Contact is its inability to transcend the melodramatic codes embedded in Korean cinema, despite its sophistication. The screenplay by Jo Myeong-joo (Love Wind Love Song [1999], Over the Rainbow [2002]) tries way too hard to make it difficult for the two leads to hit off, and once they hit off, to keep the audience at the edge of their seats in expectation of their physical encounter. The big payoff, expertly filmed and edited, is crowd-pleasing to be sure, but by then chunks of melodramatic cliches, including that overused bag of chips-on-the-shoulder known as the "trauma resulting from a friend/lover/sibling's suicide," have been mixed into the narrative. Another problem is that I cannot muster much sympathy for the character of Dong-hyeon, played by Han Suk-kyu. Yes, Han's acting skills and star charisma do strive to make Dong-hyeon appealing, but I still find the latter rather charmless, excessively moody, pedantic, and male-chauvinistic. (I admit that there is something about Han Suk-kyu lecturing women in non-honorific Korean that makes me feel like I am listening to a dentist's instrument working on a root canal... which I would like to think of as my "Dr. Bong problem") After having seen the film three times, I am still doubtful that its lead characters could have a decent chance at a romance, much less a happy marriage.

Dressed in jeans, overalls and ugly pastel-color shirts and her hair done in a decisively unflattering perm for most of the movie, Jeon Do-yeon as Su-hyeon makes a daring choice of presenting herself as a plain, homey figure, perhaps even subject to bouts of girlish delusion. Her gamble pays off handsomely, as we cannot help but be drawn to her warm, thoughtful personality. However, I must confess that I find Choo Sang-mi's character Eun-hee much more interesting than Su-hyeon. Eun-hee is an independent career woman, a go-getter who is open about the nature and direction of her sexual desire, and quite free from clinging to a done relationship. (The lead characters, in contrast, spend nearly the entire running time waffling about their "traumatic" past love affairs) An "upgraded" version of Eun-hee can be seen played by Lee Young-ae in Hur Jin-ho's exquisite One Fine Spring Day (2001).

The Contact is not quite a landmark classic of Korean cinema it is sometimes taken to be. Still, as two hours of smart, high-quality entertainment, it deserves to claim its position among the cream of the crop from Korean films of the 1990s. (Kyu Hyun Kim)

Jeon Do Yeon is most definitely one of Korea's best actresses, if not THE best actress. She owned in Untold Scandal; I didn't recognize her at first in No Blood, No Tears. I loved her in I Wish I Had A Wife; her role in Happy End is bitterness and perfect melancholy. I'm definitely a fan. :D

thanks so much for starting this thread! she is hands down, one of THE best actors in korea. i love her in every role. she's so real as every single one of her characters, i don't know how she does it. i watched her in a YSMM episode once, and when she first started acting, almost everybody in her acting company, etc, spread rumors that she got her first starring role by sleeping around [with the top executives, etc of the company.]

boy, did she prove them wrong.

chameleon of korean cinema!! <3

JDY is, to me, THE BEST actress Korea has. I know plenty of people compare her to Jeon Ji Yeon but if one compares ACTING PROWESS, there is NO exception. Yes Jeon Ji Yeon is sexy, glamorous, etc., Lee Hyori-esque, but I believe that's where the comparison ends. The starter of this thread is right when comparing Jeon Do Yeon to a chameleon. That's a perfect metaphor because she is absolutely believable in every role she takes on. I was looking forward to "Lovers in Prague" because I really like Kim Ju Hyuk and I LOOOOVE Jeon Do Hyun but when I heard about the plot of the drama series, I was disheartened. 'Gees,' I thought, 'please don't let this be another PRINCESS LULU type of drama.' And while I was skeptical that a rich woman could fall for a blue-collar cop and make it entertaining, I should have believed in the cast a little more because from the very first, it got me and Jeon Do Hyun AND Kim Ju Hyuk were spot on in their roles and infused enough realism to make it such a worthwhile series. I liked this series even more than "Lovers In Paris", although really I only watched "Paris" because of Lee Dong Gun. Anyway, I'm only expecting greater things from this fabuloso actress!

Hi..I am just curious..

Did Jeon Do Yeon also played in the old drama Happy Together (Lee Byung Hun, Song Seung Hun, Kim Ha Neul)..There's a girl that looked like her who played as LBH's sister's friend who work in the night club..but the role for her was really small..

I firstly watched JDY in Shoot A Star (I love this drama) then when I watched Happy Together, I was quite sure the actress that I mentioned was her..

In Harmonium in My Memory, she was already 26-27 at the time but looked so 16! I had a hard time believing that she was actually older. :o
