After his acting debut in 1999, the 40-year-old celebrity gained the public's attention in the 2001 melodrama "Piano" alongside Go Soo, Jo Jae Hyun, and Kim Ha Neul.

 

However, the mega-hit K-drama "What Happened in Bali" with Ha Ji Won and So Ji Sub brought Jo In Sung the massive fame he truly deserved.

 

With a slew of remarkable dramas and movies under his belt, as well as his accolade of achievements, there's no doubt how the Hallyu star is among the highest-paid stars and wealthiest Korean celebrities.

Probably considered as one of the OG K-dramas, "It's Okay, That's Love" highlights the characters who were diagnosed with mental disorders.

In the drama, Jo In Sung played a radio DJ and best-selling author named Jang Jae Yeol, who developed an obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) due to a traumatic experience in his early years.

Anecdotes of Jo In Sung from the Air Force days posted by reporters

That's the title that rose to the top of Naver's real-time search keyword for a few minutes on October 23, 2009. Jo In-sung, who was a representative of a handsome actor in his prime, joined the military and held three or four big events, one of which is the 60th Anniversary of the Air Force. While covering as a reporter at the time, I received an air force offer to host the show and appeared in the TV program "Men's Qualifications." It's a picture that I post regularly, and what comes to mind every time I do that is that I remember seeing such a humble, polite, comfortable, and good young man for the first time. Before being a celebrity, it was rare to see a bright, clear, and humane person as a young person. Even when rehearsing together for a week before the event, he always asked me about what he didn't know about pronunciation and tried to learn, and when he picked it up, he sincerely greeted me and joked from time to time to time to soften the atmosphere. The first impression tells so many things. And that feeling doesn't change for some reason. Even now, 12 years later, it's really nice to see you sometimes on TV, and I'm full of hope that you'll do well in the future.

'Escape from Mogadishu' Continues Successful Box-Office Run
 

 

 

http://english.chosun.com/site/data/img_dir/2021/09/07/2021090700912_0.jpg

Director Ryoo Seung-wan's latest film "Escape from Mogadishu" is enjoying significant success at the box office, a rarity these days in a film industry still reeling from the coronavirus pandemic.

 

The action flick, which is the most popular film of the year so far, has been among the top three at the local box office for as long as 40 days since its release on July 28, the Korean Film Council said on Monday, attracting some 3.25 million moviegoers.

 

Strong word-of-mouth keeps drawing moviegoers thanks to impressive performances by the cast including Kim Yoon-seok and Zo In-sung, while its subject matter resonates with the current international situation, with headlines dominated by the mass exodus from Afghanistan following the Taliban's takeover.

 

The film is based on the ongoing civil war in Somalia, which began in 1991.

The highest-grossing film in South Korea this year is a true story set in Somalia

 

 

In 'Escape from Mogadishu,' North Koreans and South Koreans work towards a common goal.

 

A new South Korean film set during the Somali civil war in 1991 is the highest-grossing film in the Asian country so far this year.

 

With $26.9 million in ticket sales, Escape from Mogadishu has raked in more than the Hollywood movies Black Widow and Fast & Furious 9, according to the Korean film council, despite being released after them and being shown on less theaters. It is also the first film to surpass 3 million ticket sales in the country this year.

 

Directed by South Korean Ryoo Seung-wan, Escape from Mogadishu is based on real events of 1991 when North Korean and South Korean embassy workers and their families, trapped and stranded in the civil war, unexpectedly unite despite their countries’ differences to make a dangerous attempt to escape the city.

 

“This is a story about humanity—living against adversity,” Peter Kawa, who plays the role of a police officer called Khalil in the film, tells Quartz. He is one of six Kenyan actors in the film.

 

Escape from Mogadishu was entirely shot in Morocco in 2019 and it was released in South Korea on July 28 of this year. It stars the South Koreans Kim Yoon-seok, Jo In-sung, Heo Joon-ho and Kim So-jin.

 

Escape from Mogadishu is one of many films related to the Somali civil war, including the 2001 Hollywood movie Black Hawk Dawn by director Ridley Scott.

 

The Somali civil war started in 1988, with the country’s military forces fighting against different rebel groups who were opposing president Mohamed Siad Barre’s dictatorship. Barre was eventually overthrown by opposition groups in 1991.

South Korea had sent diplomats to Somalia in 1987, the same year the two established diplomatic ties, to earn the support of African members of the United Nations as part of its efforts to be admitted to the global body. North Korea and Somalia had established diplomatic relations earlier, in 1967.

 

North Korea and South Korea have had a tense relationship for decades as both claim to be the legitimate government of the entire Korean Peninsula, which the US and the Soviet Union divided in 1945. But in Escape from Mogadishu, this rivalry takes a back seat as their citizens work towards a common goal.

 

“However much people do not agree according to country,” Kawa says, “when it comes now not to saving lives, they get to work together and they remind themselves that they’re all they have—each other.”

5 tear-jerking Korean romance films that are old but gold

 

There are love stories that do not need 16 episodes with one hour each. While dramas offer a long, unique journey with the characters by making you glued to your screen for at least a day, movies provide a much shorter but equally sweet trip within two hours or so.

 

The 2000s saw the rapidly increasing reach of the Hallyu wave across Asia with its two main players: K-drama and K-pop. However, some who had delved beyond these two know that even back then, Korean entertainment had so much more to offer, and they found it in the form of films. Check out these timeless gems that are guaranteed to wake those butterflies in your stomach - but will make you ugly cry at the same time.

 

The Classic (2003)

 

 

Weaving a tale of two couples from different generations, The Classic is a pure and endearing recollection of first loves and heartbreaks. The modern side of the story shows Ji-Hye (Son Ye-jin) being drawn towards Sang-min (Jo In-sung), whom her friend likes. In parallel with this, flashbacks show that her mother Joo-hee (also played by Son Ye-jin) was also caught up in a love triangle of her own in her youth. As Joo-hee and Joon-ha (Cho Seung-woo) fall hard for each other, her promised marriage to Joon-ha’s friend keeps them from being together. Created by My Sassy Girl director Kwak Jae-young, everything about this movie echoes what its title suggests: a classic equation of a charming pair with excellent chemistry, iconic scenes that the audience would remember for years, dreamy locations, and a replay-worthy soundtrack.

spacer.png

 

Online Luxury Platform Catch Fashion announced on the 17th that it will select actor Jo In-sung as an advertising model and present digital advertising videos.

 

Catch Fashion has been conducting a digital campaign since mid-August to inform the uncomfortable truth of the luxury platform market with a message titled "Doubt Your Luxury."

 

The advertisement video captures the characteristics and policies of luxury platforms that can be trusted and purchased in line with actor Jo In-sung's deep aura and heavy presence.

 

Catch Fashion will hold a "100% official luxury platform, Join Catch" event until the 30th in line with digital advertisement video On Air. It proposes best items for the fall season by women and men, and offers a 12% discount. If credit card company benefits are added, popular items can be found at up to 25% discount.

 

The digital advertisement video will be released on the official YouTube channel of Catch Fashion at noon and through the official SNS or Naver Catch Fashion search.

The cumulative number of "Mogadishu" viewers surpassed 3.41 million, and "The box office continues even during the Chuseok holiday." 


The movie "Mogadishu" is drawing attention again to mark the 30th anniversary of South Korea and North Korea's simultaneous joining in the United Nations (September 17).This is because the simultaneous joining to the United Nations took place less than a year after the 1991 Civil War in Somalia, the background of the movie.

 

In early 1991, before both South Korea and North Korea joined the United Nations, Africa had the most voting rights to join the United Nations, and Somalia was a place where South Korea and North Korea fought fiercely to join the United Nations. A civil war broke out at a time when Korea was busy joining the UN, and the film depicts the escape of people who were isolated by the civil war in Mogadishu, Somalia's capital, in 1991.

 

On the 18th and 22nd, director Ryu Seung-wan and director Kim Yoon-seok and Jo In-sung, who are the main characters of the movie, confirms their stage greetings during the Chuseok holiday to repay the support sent by audiences in the Pandemic era. Ryu Seung-wan director Kim Yoon-seok, Jo In-sung, and Koo Chang-yi meet the audience in person on the 18th and Ryu Seung-wan director Kim Yoon-seok, and Jo In-sung on the 22nd to express their gratitude.

 

Meanwhile, the movie "Mogadishu" continues to be a long-term hit with a cumulative audience of 3.41 million on the 16th (Thursday). In addition, in line with the recent Taliban crisis in Afghanistan, attention was paid overseas and sold to 75 countries around the world.
