*** Ga In has pressed charges against individuals involved in the spreading of malicious and false rumors about them with JJH especially those explicit photos from a video. She sued the news outlet and reporter that first circulated the false report for defamation and obstruction of business. The case is currently being investigated.

Bloodstained ‘Asura’ depicts criminal world with no room for justice

 

Director Kim Sung-soo’s new crime noir film portrays a web of corruption where force and greed reign supreme

In the ferocious new crime thriller “Asura: The City of Madness,” director Kim Sung-soo wanted to depict the “weary lives of powerless villains.”

The film is a raw action flick teeming with blood and subterfuge, and one that director Kim had wanted to make for “a very, very long time,” he told reporters after a press screening Wednesday in northern Seoul.

The 54-year-old filmmaker, known for works like “The Flu” (2013) and “The Restless” (2006), aimed to tell the story of “the countless (sidekick) villains that appear in crime action films” who end up sacrificing their lives for the greater evil. Kim had wondered why they pledge such loyalty to their exploitative bosses and what drives such fear into their hearts.

“It’s a cruel fate they’re born into,” mused Kim. “(Movie villains) work so hard to do so many evil deeds and don’t even receive proper compensation.

(Yonhap)   Spoiler “I wanted to push these characters to the edge and observe how they turn on each other and eventually, their fearsome employer,” he said. “Asura” depicts the bleak underworld of politicians and public officials who are intertwined in a thick web of crime, blackmail and betrayal. At its center is Park Sung-bae (Hwang Jung-min), the rapacious mayor of the fictional city of Annam who solicits corrupt cop Han Do-kyung (Jung Woo-sung) to cover the tracks of his illegal dealings. Han, in desperate need of money to pay his terminally ill wife’s hospital bills, consorts with the lowest of the low in back alleys to carry out the depraved mayor’s biddings. When the course of Han’s work leads to an accidental murder, prosecutor Kim Cha-in (Kwak Do-won) swoops in to propose a deal: immunity for handing over evidence that can put the corrupt mayor behind bars. Han slowly falls apart in the hellish, bloodstained struggle between the two powers, which culminates in a gruesome shootout and a gripping car chase on a rain-soaked highway -- a scene which was “incredibly difficult and dangerous” to shoot, according to director Kim. The highlights of the film include its shrewd if expletive-filled dialogue and rough action scenes that physically depict the “fierce struggle” of the criminal universe, said actor Jung Woo-sung.   A still from upcoming film “Asura: The City of Madness” by director Kim Sung-soo (CJ E&M) “We didn’t want well-choreographed action sequences,” said Jung, who performed many of the fight scenes himself. “We didn’t want to use tricks or techniques, but (wanted to) convey the raw stress of the characters through their bodies.” Director Kim also focused on camerawork. He wanted to use varied angles so that the audience would detect, albeit unconsciously, a “slightly different take” and an “unfamiliar perspective” of familiar action scenes. Ultimately, the film tells the story of a man “drenched in the world of violence, who ends up being destroyed by that violence, which turns on him,” said director Kim. He had not wanted to deal with “the traditional dynamic of good versus evil where justice inevitably prevails,” the filmmaker said, opting instead to illustrate a universe “filled only with villains” where “the notion of justice dare not intrude.” “Asura: The City of Madness” was screened at the Toronto International Film Festival last month. It will open in local theaters on Sept. 28. By Rumy Doo (doo@heraldcorp.com) Spoiler

‘Asura’ expected to draw big crowds

 

Directed by Kim Sung-soo, “Asura: The City of Madness” is predicted to become a blockbuster hit this fall.

Nearly 250,000 people had reserved tickets for the movie in advance of its Wednesday release, with estimated ticket sales of over 1.6 billion won ($1.46 million), according to data from the Korean Film Council as of Wednesday morning.

The recent summer blockbuster “Train to Busan” currently holds the record for the highest number of pre-sale reservations, with over 320,000 pre-sold ticket.

Crime thriller “Asura” is expected to dethrone “The Age of Shadows” -- which surpassed 7 million viewers Tuesday -- from its current top spot at the local box office, according to industry watchers.

Starring actors Hwang Jung-min, Jung Woo-sung and Kwak Do-won, “Asura” depicts the dark reality of modern-day politics and law enforcement.

Meanwhile, both “Asura” and “The Age of Shadows” are scheduled to be screened at the 11th annual Korean Film Festival in Paris, which will take place in the French city from Oct. 25 to Nov. 1.

'Asura' opens strong in S. Korea

 

SEOUL, Sept. 29 (Yonhap) -- "Asura: The City of Madness" broke an opening-day record for R-rated films, drawing an audience of about 480,000, data showed Thursday.

The crime action drama by director Kim Sung-soo sold 476,527 tickets Wednesday, its opening day in South Korea, according to the real-time box-office tally from the Korean Film Council (KOFIC).

The previous record was 360,280 set by the Korean film "Hwayi: A Monster Boy" on Oct. 9, 2013, which was a national holiday. But Asura's performance is unusual for a film that hit the silver screen on a normal weekday.

The movie tells the story of a crooked cop, a corrupt mayor and brutal prosecutor who all do evil things for their own gains. The movie is set in the fictional city of Annam that is struggling to deal with crime and other irregularities. It stars Jung Woo-sung, Hwang Jung-min and Kwak Do-won in the three main roles.

She was also asked how the two started dating, and she replied, "We knew each other even before we filmed the MV together. We just knew each other five years ago. Before that, we had no interest in dating. Well, suddenly, it just happened... When we were filming, we were just an oppa and dongsaeng who knew each other. After that, we got closer and expressed our gratitude, then became a couple. Honestly, I don't think anyone can really remember how they start dating."

 

She even promoted his movie 'Asura' on the show.

‘Asura’ tops weekend box office

 

Crime-noir “Asura: The City of Madness” topped the local weekend box office, drawing some 826,655 admissions Oct. 1-2, according to the Korean Film Council.

The film has sold over 1.8 million tickets since its opening Wednesday, when it broke the record for best-selling rated “R” movie on its opening day.

The bloody thriller, starring a handful of Korean cinema’s A-listers including Jung Woo-sung, Hwang Jung-min and Kwak Do-won, tells the story of the political underworld and its corrupt players. Mayor Park Sung-bae, played by Hwang, commissions cop Han Do-kyung, played by Jung, to cover up his illegal dealings, while prosecutor Kim Cha-in, played by Kwak, employs his own brand of ruthlessness to chase out the criminals.

“Asura” was penned and helmed by filmmaker Kim Sung-su, known for his gritty portrayal of gangsters and masculinity in previous works like “Beat” (1997) and “City of the Rising Sun” (1999). It was screened at the Toronto International Film Festival last month.
