The actor will be expected to deliver more intense action scenes and will be set for new acting challenges.
According the Hollywood film industry, in 2013, Lee Byung Hun was said to be trusted with more and more Hollywood movies. He was casted in the 2013 Hollywood movie Red 2 and over 300 million viewers watched the movie. Lee Byung Hun’s role in the movie opened up to a higher breakthrough of his career overseas.
On March 12, an official of Lee Byung Hun’s Agency BH Entertainment said, “There isn’t any confirmation yet regarding the exact date when Lee Byung Hun will start shooting for the 3rd sequel of GI Joe. The filming schedule might probably begin in the first half of the year.”

The feet may be the least appreciated body part. Theoretically, feet are supposed to be far cleaner than hands, but that’s not what it feels like. While the feet ⓐbear the weight of the body all day long, even ⓑtheir owner rarely appreciates their service. ⓒ

However, movies and television shows sometimes project ⓓromantic or erotic fantasies about feet. Secretly touching another person under the table with ⓔone’s foot is a typical scene suggesting an extramarital affair, eroticism or a tryst. In the movie “Bungee Jumping of Their Own,” Lee Byung-hun ties Lee Eun-ju’s shoelaces, and it became a textbook romantic scene. In “The Contact,” Jeon Do-yeon has a crush on her friend’s fiance and secretly tries on his shoes. On the latest hit television drama on SBS, “You Came From the Stars,” high heels appear as an important prop. 


ps: anyone has the actual image of the showlace-tying scene from the movie? Much obliged.

[Fashion Tips for Men] How To Suit Up like Korean Actors
Source: BNTNews

[by Jin Hwi Jung / translated by Chloe Yun] The best and hottest wedding guest attire for men is, of course, a classic suit. People say it’s the era of uniqueness and differentiation, but there has been nothing sexier than a man in a classic, refined suit. 
However, suiting up is not as easy as most women think. First, fine suits cost a lot. Men should own several different suits in order not to be regarded as “the guy who always wears the same suit.” Moreover, suit is not the only thing that matters; men need a different pair of shoes, tie, and shirt for each suit. 
For those who are worried about what to wear for upcoming weddings, Men’s fashion brand ELVANDRESS suggests several charming suit looks that will make you stand out among other suit-men. 
From Jung Woo Sung to Lee Byung Hun, we've rounded up the best looks of celebrity wedding guests. Let’s take a look at their styles and get ready to suit up. 
■ Know the Basics of Suit!

To suit up right, you need to know the basics of suit first. If you know about your body type and style well, you can buy a suit that you can wear for the next 10 years. Nothing is more stylish than wearing what looks good on you. 

First thing you need to consider when buying a suit is your height. If you are not tall (compared to the average), avoid wearing a one-button suit jacket which has a button below the waist; it might make you look smaller. Instead, choose a two-button suit which has a button just below the chest. 
The shirtsleeves should be a little longer (about 1cm longer) that the jacket. Moreover, it looks trendier when the narrow part of the tie hangs 1~1.5cm lower than the belt. 
There is one rule that you MUST follow: DO NOT wear a bowtie at the wedding that is not yours. Bowtie is only allowed for the groom. Do not try to steal the groom’s thunder. 
■ Add Color to Your Suit With Shirt or Tie 


You don’t have to buy a new suit for every single wedding; you can still make some style changes with one suit if you have a couple of different ties and shirts. 
Don’t underestimate a tie; from width to color, there are various types of ties, and tie trend has been ceaselessly changing.
When attending Shin Hyun Joon’s wedding, actor Jang Dong Gun wore a gray three-peace suit with a dark blue tie, creating a trendy, classic suit look. He also chose brown shoes which made his overall look not too formal. 
When you wear a three-piece suit, leave the lowest button of your vest unfastened like Jang Dong Gun did. If your suit jacket has a buckle in the back, then tighten it enough so your jacket charmingly fits your body. 
If you are a tall guy, try more colors. Lee Chung Ah’s actor boyfriend Lee Gi Woo wore unique brown suit with a blue tie. He also chose a light blue skirt that harmonized with his blue tie, flaunting his great taste of fashion as a former model. 
■ Classic Double-Button Suit  

If you are bored with your single-button suit that you've worn for years, then try a double-button style that will make you stand out among the single-buttons.
Double-button suit is more formal and sophisticated than other types of suit, so you can create luxurious atmosphere without any accessories. 
Jung Woo Sung chose a gray linen suit, which perfectly fits his stylish, gentleman image. He also made his overall suit look lighter and trendier with a white tie and handkerchief. 
The best part of double-button suit is that it makes your body look more balanced and taller. (photo bu ELVANDRESS, bntnews DB)

It doesn't look like Lee Byung Hun will have an official Facebook page like the other BH Entertainment artistes. Actor Lee Hee Jun who recently joined BH Ent (the news released today) already have his FB set up. (source)
Perhaps, the LBH JOFC FB is the official facebook. Is that ok?
Nonetheless, our EverythingLBH.com FB is now 125. Merci beaucoup!

South Korean 'major' Lotte brings heavyweight lineup to HK market
by Nemo Kim Variety


SEOUL — Lotte Entertainment may be South Korea’s number two film company, but it hates to be overshadowed by market leader CJ Entertainment.
The company has no lack of ambition or resources. It is part of a huge conglomerate that ranges from department stores and home shopping, through to international cinema management, film finance and production. Global singing sensation, Psy brought his “Gangnam Style” performance to Lotte’s 2012 Busan party – in the company’s own five star hotel!
With its 2014 FilMart slate, Lotte hopes to justify its billing as a major force in international film sales.
Its line-up at the Hong Kong event is headed by “The Fatal Encounter,” a period epic directed by Lee Jae-kyoo, a star TV drama producer (“The King 2 Hearts,” “Beethoven Virus”) and starring Hyun Bin. “Encounter” is Lee’s first feature as director, but given the Asia-wide popularity of Korean TV series, Lotte is counting on his TV track record to deliver audiences and rights sales inside Korea and out.
Lotte is also pitching another period epic in “Memories of the Sword,” with superstar Lee Byung-hun (“Masquerade,” “G.I. Joe”) and top actress Jeon Do-yeon (“Untold Scandal,” “The Housemaid”.) Directed by Park Heung-shik, who worked with Jeon in 1998 in “The Harmonium of My Memory”, the star-studded cast as well as the unusual setting of Goryeo Period, rather than the more familiar Choseon dynasty, has stirred interest in Korea.
The casting of Kim Go-eun of “The Muse” is an interesting counterpoint to the two more established talents. Kim also stars in “Monster,” a thriller that is also in the company’s FilMart lineup.
With both “Encounter” and “Sword” in post-production, buyers will have to be content with promo screenings at FilMart.
“We have not achieved our desired results lately, but we are confident that these large-scale period epics, with their star casts and talented directors, will turn things around,” said Eun-hye Byeon, senior manager of international sales at Lotte. “Our line-ups were rather limited in terms of genre up until now, but we have a much broader range on offer in Hong Kong. We expect this year’s FilMart to be the setting for a relaunch of Lotte.”
Around the corner, Lotte has two more expected blockbusters. “Pirates,” a period epic set during the Choseon dynasty and directed by Lee Seok-hoon, has particular resonance in Hong Kong this week – its star Kim Nam-gil, was named as rising star talent by the Asian Film Awards Academy on Sunday. The pic will get a promo screening at Cannes.
And in the second half of the year Lotte will debut “Tazza 2,” its long-awaited sequel to 2006 hit gangster action movie “Tazza: The High Rollers.”
