Summoned by an unexpected phone call, an elderly woman visits a cottage the way she used to when she was a young girl. She remembers a boy she knew half a century before. Moving to a peaceful village when she was a girl she discovered a “wolf boy,” hiding his large, contorted body in the darkness. The girl, now a woman, has never been able to purge the images of his wild eyes and animal-like behavior from her mind. She recalls teaching the boy how to wait patiently before a meal, how to wear clothes, how to speak, how to write and other human behaviors so that he could one day live like a normal man. She opened her heart to the innocent boy and he fell in love with the girl, the only person to ever show him affection. However when threatened, he let loose his bestial instincts and became the subject of the villagers’ fears. In order to save the life of the boy who risked his to be by her side, she left him with a promise: “Wait for me. I’ll come back for you.”

Q&A (Busan International Film Festival)

A Werewolf Boy-BIFF2012.jpg


Q&A for "A Werewolf Boy," with actor Yoo Yeon-Seok, actress Jang Yeong-Nam, actress Park Bo-Young and director Jo Sung-Hee, took place at the 2012 Busan International Film Festival on October 14, 2012. AsianWiki editor Ki Mun was there and transcribed/translated the session.




  • Jo Sung-Hee (director): Hello, I'm Jo Sung-Hee the director of "A Werewolf Boy". Thanks for coming to watch this film at such an early time.

  • Park Bo-Young (actress): Thank you for attending this screening.

  • Jang Yeong-Nam (actress): Hi, I'm Jang Yeong-Nam who played Soon-Yi's mother. I watched the movie for the first time here. I cried a lot. I think the movie will be a big hit. Thank you for coming so early.

  • Yoo Yeon-Seok (actor): Hi, I'm Yoo Yeon-Seok who played the bad guy. Thank you for watching the movie and ask me a lot of questions, I'll try to answer carefully.


  • Audience Question: This question is for Park Bo-Young. How did your midterm exam go in college?

  • Park Bo-Young (actress): I took time off from school.


  • Audience Question: Question for Park Bo-Young. When you first received the script what did you think of it? Also, why did you select this film?

  • Park Bo-Young (actress): The director expressed very well the movie with his script and I cried when I read it. I did worry whether I could portray Soon-Yi as the director wanted, but I decided to do it because I really wanted to portray Soon-Yi. I wanted to express the feelings of a girl who turns into a woman. I really wanted the role and I said "yes" right away.


  • Audience Question: Question for Park Bo-Young. What was the most difficult thing while working on this movie?

  • Park Bo-Young (actress): The most difficult thing was fighting through the cold weather. Filming took place during winter and a lot of the scenes were shot outdoors at night. The coldest time was around 4 AM. Everyone involved in the filming suffered from the cold weather. Another thing is that Chul-Soo (Song Joong-Ki) doesn't have any lines for the most of the film. While rehearsing, I had a hard time with that, but when shooting, Song Joong-Ki performed well with his eyes and I was able to perform smoothly. While memorizing my lines, it was difficult for me to envision my physical performance.


  • Audience Question: I also have a question for Park Bo-Young.

  • Yoo Yeon-Seok (actor): I guess there isn't any questions for me so I'll go (audience laughs).

  • Audience Question: How did you feel when you slapped Chul-Soo's (Song Joong-Ki) face?

  • Park Bo-Young (actress): I felt bad, because I slapped him a lot. Filming for that scene took place quite a few times from different angles ... aimed at my face, aimed at Chul-Soo's face, from the side with both of us in view, but I didn't have to slap him really hard during all the shots. I only had to slap him hard when they filmed Chul-Soo's face. I was completely immersed in my character's emotions for all the shots and, because of this, Song Joong-Ki told me to slap him hard for all the shots. Thanks to him, I think my feelings were well conveyed through the movie. Even though he could not be here today, I want to thank him and sorry for the slaps.

  • Yoo Yeon-Seok (actor): After Song Joong-Ki watched the movie, he told me his face was swollen after that scene.


  • Audience Question: I always thought Song Joong-Ki and Park Bo-Young would make a great pair in a film. Could you tell us about the casting process?

  • Jo Sung-Hee (director): As I mentioned in interviews, Park Bo-Young has all the qualities of Soon-Yi. She is pale and seems to have a story behind her. With Song Joong-Ki, he has different images ... a boy and also a man. Like his nickname "Milk Man," he has softness and a sense of wildness. Without them, the movie would have turned out completely different. The pairing of Song Joong-Ki and Park Bo-Young worked very well.



  • ModeratorJang Yeong-Nam's comedic acting looked so natural.

  • Yoo Yeon-Seok (actor): Many of her lines were ad-libbed, like the murmuring.

  • Jang Yeong-Nam (actress): Many of my lines are written by director Jo Sung-Hee also.


  • Audience Question: I think the color of the movie is very pretty. Can somebody mention some of the best scenes?

  • Jo Sung-Hee (director): This is my personal opinion. I watched the movie a lot of times already. Whenever I watched this scene, I feel like the scene is really something. The scene is when Chul-Soo is locked in the barn and Soon-Yi gets there. She tells him that she won't read the fairytale book until he reads it for her. That scene, with the above the waist shot of Soon-Yi, really makes me emotional.

  • Yoo Yeon-Seok (actor): When Ji-Tae goes to the barn and tells Chul-Soo where the guitar is. I put a lot of effort in that scene and I still remember it vividly.

  • Jang Yeong-Nam (actress): I like the scenes with Chul-Soo and Soon-Yi as their relationship gets closer. Especially when Soon-Yi plays the guitar and sings. With my scenes, the best scene is when I wash Chul-Soo's back.



  • Moderator: The scene when Chul-Soo wore the hanbok (Korean traditional dress), didn't you have a lot of takes?

  • Jo Sung-Hee (director): No, not really. Not many takes. On the filming set, Song Joong-Ki and Park Bo-Young got along well and I just watched them.


  • Audience Question: I enjoyed the movie a lot. Nowadays, staff and cast makes a promise if a certain amount of people watch their movie. What's your promise?

  • Yoo Yeon-Seok (actor): Yesterday, when we all got together, the director told us if the movie passes 5 million admissions than he will draw on his face like Chul-Soo and Soon-Yi did.


  • Audience Question: I have watched the film 3 times so far at film festivals. It was hard for me to get the movie tickets. I love the screenplay. I would like to know if the story is based on something else and who wrote the script? My favorite scene is Chul-Soo rolling the snow to make a snowman. How did you come up with that final scene?


  • Jo Sung-Hee (director): I wrote the screenplay. I began to write the script at the Korean Academy of Film Arts where I studied filmmaking. I showed a synopsis of the story to a professor. The synopsis was quite different from the final screenplay. In that synopsis, the roles were reversed. The woman was wild and she waits for the guy. Also, the synopsis was more tragic. In order to make a commercial film, the man became the wild one and the ending changed with the last meeting occurring. The story changed quite a bit from the original script. About the ending scene. We held meetings and talked about many different possible versions with the elderly Soon-Yi. After all the deliberations, we came up with the ending you see in the movie. When Chul-Soo rolls a snowball into a snowman, that is what Chul-Soo is. Chul-Soo doesn't blame Soon-Yi and keeps his promise. I think that's Chul-Soo.


  • Audience Question: To each of the actors, when you were assigned your characters what part did you focus on most?

  • Yoo Yeon-Seok (actor): Ji-Tae is an evil guy, but as Ji-Tae gets worse and worse, the love between Chul-Soo and Soon-Yi becomes more earnest. Because of this, I abandoned my own personal desires and tried to become as evil as possible. I think what Ji-Tae does comes from his love for Soon-Yo. He loves her so much that he takes such drastic actions. I hope the audience feels pity for him. There's a scene where Ji-Tae kicks Soon-Yi and he says "I love you, but why don't you love me?," but his words are inaudible. Even though I performed as a villain, I tried to show love for Soon-Yi.


  • Jang Yeong-Nam (actress): I'm getting a little older, but I recently got married. I wondered, since I didn't have experience as a mother, could I perform as Soon-Yi's mother? My character doesn't have a strong character or personality. She is a very ordinary mother who seems to be always behind Soon-Yi. On the filming set, I was obsessed with that and the director kept mentioning it. That was the most difficult thing while filming.


  • Park Bo-Young (actress): I thought a lot about how to show Soon-Yi slowly opening up to Chul-Soo. On the filming set, I acted according to what the director wanted. He didn't want me to prepare a lot for my character. On the filming set, he always told me "you are acting, but don't act." So I tried to follow what the director wanted.



  • Moderator: We are now out of time. Could the director give some final words?

  • Jo Sung-Hee (director): Thank you for watching my movie today. I hope when the movie is released in theaters that you will have more fun and watch the movie again with your friends, boyfriends, girlfriends and family.

Actor Song Joong Ki recently said, “I only had ten lines but it was very difficult to perform.”



On October 15, Song attended a press conference for the movie A Werewolf Boy, which was held at CGV in Seoul, and said, “I thought it would be easy to play a nonspeaking role but it was really difficult.”



Song, who played the role of a lonely werewolf boy, added, “Taking lines away from an actor is like taking a gun away from a soldier. That is the biggest thing that I learned through the movie. It was difficult to perform and memorize Bo Young’s lines. I realized that I haven’t been listening to other actors’ lines. I could learn basics through the movie.”



“I tried to make every cry sound different depending on the feelings. But respiration was more important. I tried hard to speak with my breathing while performing.”



The movie is about a fateful love story between a dangerous werewolf boy (played by Song) and a lonely girl (played by Park Bo Young), who shuts the door in her mind against the world. Jo Seong Hee directed the movie and Yoo Yeon Seok and Jang Young Nam helped to make the movie, which will be released on October 31.

Actor Song Joong Ki recently confessed that he has become more confident thanks to his werewolf makeup.


On the afternoon of September 26, a showcase for the movie A Werewolf Boy (directed by Jo Sung Hee, produced by Silk Road) was held at the Apgujeong CGV Theater, located in Shinsa-dong, Seoul.



Song Joong Ki plays a werewolf boy who lives a lonely life in a world that has forsaken him. When a fan asked, “Wasn’t it hard to get the werewolf makeup done?” he replied, “Actually, the more hair was glued on my body, the more confident I became.”



He explained, “People say that you change depending on what you wear. It also applies to me. I felt lighter and more confident. It made me feel great.”



A Werewolf Boy has received an official invitation to the 27th Toronto International Film Festival in the category of Contemporary World Cinema and to the open cinema of the 17th Busan Film Festival. It is a love story of a werewolf (played by Song Joong Ki) whose temperature measures 46 degrees Celsius and blood type is unidentifiable. His love interest is a lonely girl (played by Park Bo Young) who closes herself off from the world. It is also Jo Sung Hee’s first commercial film. He previously worked on The End of the Animal, Nice Short, and Don’t Step out of the House. Yoo Young Suk and Jang Young Nam joined in the filmmaking. The movie premieres on October 31.

    Song Joong Ki recently showed off a strong look.



    Song recently did a photo shoot for the October issue of the fashion magazine Bazaar. In the photo shoot, which was conducted by photographer Kim Young Jun, Song surprised everyone by showing off a strong look, getting away from a gentle look with a smiling face.



    In an interview conducted during the photo shoot, Song showed affection for his new film A Werewolf Boy,which is scheduled to be released on October 31. Playing the role of a werewolf in the film, Song said, “I thought it would be easy to portray a werewolf because I didn’t have to speak at all, but it was more difficult because I had to show the character’s feelings with only facial expressions.”



    1-25.jpg


    Song went on saying, “However, I’ve always wanted to play the role of a vampire or a werewolf, so I really liked and enjoyed portraying the character. I learned pantomime before I started shooting this film. I learned how to express feelings without speaking.”



    Song also gave his thoughts on changing his image through KBS 2TV’s drama series Nice Guy and the filmA Werewolf Boy. He said, “I didn’t choose them to change my image, though.”



    He said, “You don’t always have to play strong characters to prove that you’re a good actor. All you have to do is to show yourself that people want and to play roles that suit your age and image. People think A Werewolf Boy is a strong, sensational film, but it’s actually a very emotional one.”

Song Joong-ki and Park Bo-young get wolfy for Vogue


by girlfriday | October 2, 2012 | 

WolfBoy21.jpg


Well that’s creepy. Not normally the first thing that comes to mind when you think ofSong Joong-ki and Park Bo-young, but in this themed photo shoot for their movie Wolf Boy, the pair of actors embrace the dark and otherworldly, almost a little too well. I think I’m a bigger fan of the movie’s wolf concept. Yunno, the one where everybody gets to keep his eyebrows.



I suppose the look is slightly Edward-Scissorhands-esque, which is in keeping with the movie’s take on the wolf boy — an innocent, misunderstood creature who finds an unlikely love. More moody quirky romance, less Teen Wolf. Park Bo-young plays an introverted girl who finds a feral wolf boy in the woods behind her family’s country home, and begins to socialize him little by little.



The best part? She uses a dog training manual to do it. Ha. I know we’re prone to calling Joong-ki a puppy ’round here, but that’s a new kind of ingenious. Do you think she’ll teach him how to roll over and play fetch?



The photo spread is probably scarier than the movie will be, but I do actually like how eery it feels. With this role and his current drama Nice Guy, it seems like Joong-ki’s really embracing the dark side, and I’m lovin’ it.



Wolf Boy is currently on the festival circuit and premieres October 31.
