Rising actress Go Yoon Jung has been added to the cast of the new highly-anticipated drama ‘Moving’. The drama series will be directed by Park In Jae and the screenwriting is by Kang Full. This JTBC drama has already attracted attention from the audience for its high production budget of 50 billion KRW (around 32.8 lakh rupees or 44.9 million USD). Go Yoon Jung will be joining an already strong lineup of actors like Jo In Sung, Han Hyo Joo, Ryu Seung Ryong and Kim Sung Kyun. 

 

‘Moving’ is a fantasy drama focused on a group of high school students who have many secrets buried within them. It is based on the webtoon of the same name written by Kang Full. The director of the drama was changed from Mo Wan II, who has directed ‘The World Of Married’, to Park In Jae. Park In Jae has directed works like ‘Kingdom Season 2’ and ‘The Mayor’. This will also be a grand comeback of Han Hyo Joo to the small screen after MBC’s ‘W’. 

 

With an already stellar cast, the addition of Go Yoon Jung is extremely intriguing and stirring for fans who are waiting for this drama. It is set to release sometime later in this year.

Cinema operators to give ticket revenues to distributors of ‘Escape from Mogadishu,’ ‘Sinkhole’

 

The Korean Theater Association, which includes the top three local multiplex operators -- CGV, Lotte Cinema, Megabox -- among its members, has thrown a lifeline to two film distributors to encourage the release of their high-budget movies, “Escape from Mogadishu” and “Sinkhole,” it announced on Tuesday.

Instead of splitting the ticket sales 50:50 between theaters and film distributors as is the practice, the theaters will forgo ticket sales proceeds until the amount reaches 50 percent of the two films’ total production cost. Lotte Entertainment is the distributor for “Escape from Mogadishu,” while Showbox is the distributor for “Sinkhole.”

The decision came after the Korean Theater Association and local distributors held several meetings that were organized by the Korean Film Council. At the meetings, local distributors had asked for a minimum safety net.

In 2020, the number of people who visited local theaters plunged 74 percent from the year before, which is the lowest since the Korean Film Council started compiling box office data in 2004.

To shore up the film industry, local theaters gave distributors 1,000 won in subsidies per audience member between February and March this year. However, the measure was not able to spur release of large-scale films, which they had hoped would attract more moviegoers.

Meanwhile, the Korea IPTV Broadcasting Association, which includes telecom carriers KT, SK Broadband and LG U+ as its members, and cable operator Home Choice also agreed to provide 80 percent of sales revenue from movies released on their services to the two distributors. It is around 20 percentage points higher than the current distribution rate. 

The theater association and IPTV operators also added that they will further support other local distributors as well through diverse marketing strategies.

The action film “Escape from Mogadishu,” starring Kim Yoon-seok and Jo In-sung, is directed by star director Ryoo Seung-wan, who directed multiple hit films like “The Berlin File,” “The Unjust” and “Veteran.” The film is based on the true story of diplomats in South and North Korean missions in Somalia during the 1991 civil war.

While both movies are set to be released this summer, the exact dates of their release have yet to be announced.

@syntyche, thanks for sharing this. Yes, his movie is one, which is slated for release into socially distanced movie theaters this summer. I hope this is going to be doing well. I heard that the movie is expected to hit theaters between July and August, although exact dates have yet to be set. I hope that this big movie will draw more people as vaccination is picking up in Korea.

Why are Kim Yun-seok X Jo In-sung desperate... What happened in Mogadishu?

The movie "Mogadishu" (director Ryu Seung-wan), which has emerged as the most anticipated film this summer, has unveiled 11 still cuts that give a glimpse of the urgency of the story.

 

 

"Mogadishu" is a film about the life-or-death escape of people isolated by civil war in the Somali capital of Mogadishu in 1991, starring Kim Yoon-seok and Jo In-sung.

 

The released press release contains a sense of urgency for those isolated due to the civil war. We can see the charismatic scenes of Ambassador Han Shin-sung (Kim Yoon-seok), who is waging an all-out diplomatic war in Somalia to join the UN, Kang Dae-jin (Jo In-sung), an intelligence agent dispatched to manage the South Korean Embassy, Ambassador to North Korea Lim Yong-soo (Heo Joon-ho), who has had diplomatic relations with Somalia for a long time, and Councilor Tae Joon-ki (Koo Gyo-hwan), who is responsible for the safety of the North Korean Embassy, and how they are struggling after the outbreak of the civil war.

 

Along with the above figures, they predicted rich stories through unique characters, including Kim So-jin, who plays the ambassador's wife Kim Myung-hee, Jung Man-sik, who plays the secretary Gong Soo-chul, Kim Jae-hwa, who plays the embassy clerk Cho Soo-jin, and Park Kyung-hye, who plays the youngest clerk Park Ji-eun, and colorful characters. In particular, Kim Yun-seok and Jo In-sung, who are working together for the first time in this movie, can feel the synergy between the two actors just by the released photo.

 

Finally, the scene of Somali civic protests shows the city in chaos. The production team announced the beginning of the desperate and urgent story of "Mogadishu" through 11 photos released for the first time.

 

'Mogadishu' will be released this summer.

‘Escape from Mogadishu’ Jo In Sung Says Kim Yoon Seok Helped Him Discover New Things About His Character

 

 

 

Jo In Sung challenged a new character through the movie Escape from Mogadishu.

 

Escape from Mogadishu depicts details of the perilous escape attempt made by North and South Korean embassies stranded during the conflict during the Somali Civil War in the 1990s. For the film, Jo In Sung joined hands with director Ryu Seung Wan and actor Kim Yoon Seok for the first time.

 

Counselor Kang Dae Jin, played by Jo In Sung, is a former agent of ANSP (Agency for National Security Planning) who was dispatched to the Korean embassy in Somalia. His main job is to monitor and manage the staff. He is a smart person who knows when to cooperate even while closely keeping an eye on them.

 

But his charm shines more in a desperate situation. When everyone is in a panic, he uses his sound judgment to ensure safety and burns his will to escape. You can see a glimpse into what kind of a man he is in the released still photos.

 

Regarding his role, Jo In Sung shared, “The first time I read the script, I liked the fact that he wasn’t a typical ANSP agent. I thought he was a pretentious person who acts instinctively, believing that he has ANSP on his side. But while working with Kim Yoon Seok, I discovered unexpected things about my character and found a balance. In the end, Kang Dae Jin became a character with lots of surprises.”

 

Meanwhile, Escape from Mogadishu will be released on July 28th.
