In this drama, he plays actress Kim Min Jung's younger brother who is a college student. He appears in a few episodes.

If I remember correctly, in episode 6, he teaches actor Kim Min Joon's role to speak English. The scene is very funny. Suh Ji Suk's English pronunciation is quite good. ^-^

[VOD & Photo] Movie "The Bow" - Trailer (2005)

credit: YouTube; author: Ron2109

[VOD]

I watched the DVD of this movie. This is the famous Korean director Kim Ki Duk's 12th film. Like all of his films, this movie has an unconventional theme. Nonetheless, it has beautiful scenes and awesome background music, like a 'poem'.In this movie, SJS plays a college student who finds out that the heroine was kidnapped 10 years ago by the main male character who is an old man living isolated on a boat with this young girl. Thus, this college student decides to help the young girl to find her real parents and go back to the real world.

Theme of this movie –

"Strength and a beautiful sound like in the tautness of a bow. I want to live like this till the day I die."

In the unit - 'The Feature of making film' in the DVD, SJS said that he could maneuver the boat well after he learned how to drive a boat for the first time during the filming of this movie.

[Music Video] “I am without you (그대없이 난)” - sung by Lee Ji Hye,

Directed by Kim Ki Duk (2005)

http://dbi.video.cyworld.com/v.sk/movie/0|...900252004271001

I was standing up when your image disappeared.

Your ears, nose, and mouth living in my memory are so far away.

Why are you leaving me?

I didn’t rush to grab you. I stay and cry.

I love you, I listen to you, and you look at me.

Why can’t I avoid your eyes?

I couldn’t catch you. I can’t live without you.

Everyone is greedy.

Anyway, it is good if you could give.

Just let me see you.

You are too nice to be rejected.

It is OK. I will love alone.

So far this has been the case.

I do not regret a little bit.

That’s me.

Let me see and say.

Why is it so difficult to love?

I love you, I listen to you, and you look at me.

Why can’t I avoid your eyes?

I couldn’t catch you. I can’t live without you.

----------------

난 서있었죠 그대 모습 사라질 때 까지

추억도 저만치 멀리 가네요

귓가에 그 입술에 그대눈에 내가 살았는데

왜 떠나려해요 나를

달려가 그대를 붙잡고 그만　나는 주저 앉은채 울고말죠

사랑해요 고개를 들어 날 봐요

왜 자꾸만 눈을 피하죠

그대의 휘청인 맘 붙들어요　그대없이 난 안되요

아무 욕심 없는 걸요

그대만 있어준다면　아무래도 좋은걸요

그저 볼 수 있게만 해줘요 난 그대뿐이죠

너무나 착한 사람이죠 그대　차마 뿌리치지도 못 하잖아

괜찮아요 혼자서 사랑할께요

지금 까지 그래 왔듯이

한번도 후회한적은 없어요　그게 바로 나 잖아

나를 보고말을 해줘요

사랑한다고 그렇게도 어려운 가요

사랑해요 고개를 들어 날 봐요

왜 자꾸만 눈을 피하죠

그대의 휘청인 맘 붙들어요　그대없이 난 안되요

[screen Captures] Movie “Time” (2006)

SJS appeared in director Kim Ki Duk’s movie “Time” as a guest star.

He played a young man who noticed the heroine (played by Sung Hyun Ah) watching him while entering a café. Then this young man moves to the table where the heroine sits by. The heroine asks to check this young man’s palm to see if he is her boyfriend (played by Ha Jung Woo) who disappeared for a whole-face plastic surgery. But then, the heroine feels this young man’s palm being too big while she holds his hand.

Good to see this pics from Pure19 CindyW88! Where were you before? You should have created this thread long time ago. I became a fan of SJS after watching Pure 19.

Hope he can have a drama again with GHS.

Many thanks for the info and pics!

starlight tears, you are welcome. Thank you for creating this nice thread for Jisuk in the first place.

lol... where have I been before?

I have been thinking about creating a thread for SJS at soompi for a long time. The reason why I haven’t created it is because Jisuk is still serving in the army and he doesn’t have a new project yet.

Since I have been with soompi and as one of its staffs for a long time, I know that threads at soompi roll up and down very fast. If no one replies to a thread, then that thread won’t be seen at the first page. That’s why I created 2 English sites for SJS so that his fans could find his info conveniently. Actually, according to the daily statistics report provided to me by yahoo which hosts the English Site, many Jisuk's fans from Singapore, Taiwan, USA, Japan, China, Canada, Australia, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, etc. visited this board constantly. I am glad for Jisuk that he has so many fans around the world.

OK! I am posting more photos now:

I also watched "The Bow" and "Time" directed by Kim Ki Duk. The background music and scenes of "The Bow" are so beautiful!

Yup! He has a model's figure to show any kind of attire attractively. His 182cm physique makes him looks handsome in every suit.

He will be discharged from the army on 5/3 (this upcoming Sunday)! His fan club will hold a fan meeting for him on 5/10. Looking forward to it!

[Guest starlight tears]

Guys, i found an interview clip of Hye Sun & Suh Ji Suk. Though i dunt understand what they said but they look cute together^^

I guess overall they talked about their characters in Pure 19, NGs and kiss scenes ... They seem so close, sometimes they teasing each other

and SJS was so shy when they mentioned about the kiss . I hope as dunlop09 come back, she can translate it for us...

Here is the link :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vdw8Ooo6FJM

@Shalee: i totally agree with u....yeah, me too...a broad minded shipper haha...i think even though we're MinSun/HyunSun shippers we

shouldnt deny the chemistry between HS and another guy (sorry, no offense here.that's just my thot)...i'm just glad since no one can resist our

girl's charms ...hope that she will pair with many hot guy in the future...and F4fan...i have the same wish...JIS is a good one ^^

Hi CindyW88, I found this in GHS thread thanks to Nina67, Do you have translation of this interview? Hope Hyesun can go to the fanmeeting SJS. Though I am Minsun Shipper..I am open JiSun too!

SJS invited Lee Yoon Ji to his 2007 Fan Meeting. They are good friends.

Yes. Here is my translation of the video clip:

[VOD] Interview - SJS & Goo Hye Sun in "Pure 19" (11/14/06)

Question: First, congratulations to your drama scoring the best TV ratings among daily dramas. On 11/13, the TV raging was over 40%. What are your feelings as performers of the drama?

Hye Sun: I think it is too much. Can't be too greedy about it, Ha Ha ...

Ji Suk: This morning (11/14), I heard the TV rating was over 42%. Like everyone loves this rating, I like it too. Hopefully, the future ratings are as successful as this one. The storylines are very interesting.

Question: Is it possible that the TV rating will be increased more if you get married in the drama?

Both answer: Well ... (Ha Ha)

Question: Recalling the press conference held in May, Hye Sun was very confident then. Six months have passed, is there any difference?

Ji Suk: In the beginning, I was nervous. Then the PD told me, "Ji Suk, Don't be nervous. Take it easy because this is a family drama." Thus, now it is really like flowing water that keeps comfortable families together. This is very interesting.

Hye Sun: My role Guk Hwa is not as brave as before and she cries a lot, right? Her sentiments will continue to change. Thus, my thought is not as calm as my original one.

Question: I am curious about the change of impression. Especially, Ji Suk, I am more curious about that you are new to TV dramas.

Hye Sun: (regarding what kind of a performer Ji Suk is) I don't know. (Ha Ha)

Ji Suk: What's wrong with you ~

Hye Sun: Now, weakness turns into strength, and strength turns into weakness.

Ji Suk: That's not so ~ In recent episodes, I show many sweet and loving gestures to Guk Hwa. As to what degree I think inside? .... It makes me think.

Question: Early on, did you feel awkward that both of you are new actor and actress?

Hye Sun: Yeah ~ I still feel awkward now.

Question: You have been filming many episodes portraying the twists and turns of you as "Pure-hearted couple", especially you quibble over things.

Hye Sun: I gave Ji Suk some hits which were not included in the script. However, the PD liked it, and everyone liked it. Even though it shows one time on the screen, it actually took 10 times to 20 times to film the scene. The filming was joyful.

Ji Suk: I also enjoy the filming. How painful are those hits from Hye Sun?

Hye Sun: Painful, huh?

Ji Suk: Sometimes ... a little bit ... painful; however, it feels good to be hit by Hye Sun.

Question: The kiss scene on the rooftop is very memorable.

Ji Suk: We got NGs on filming that scene. I felt awful because I could not breathe due to my nose being on Hye Sun's face. </b>

Hye Sun: Although the scene was broadcasted one time on the screen, it took many times to film the scene, which made me gone numb after so many shots.

Ji Suk: Me too, me too, I did not feel anything.

Hye Sun: Don't keep doing it ... (Ha Ha)

Question: Ji Suk, your popularity rise so much among female fans now. What is your 'ideal type' of woman?

Ji Suk: In this drama, Shin Hyung gives people the first charming impression that she is a smart, stylish, and attractive woman, but it would not last long. On the other hand, Guk Hwa is a pure and lovely woman who might shake my mind a lot ... It may last longer ...

Question: I am curious how the love story between your roles will progress. Can you make public the storylines?

Hye Sun: Actually, I really don't know, Ha Ha. According to the synopsis, our roles should have already married, but the wedding has not happened until now. It seems like that the wedding will happen at the end ... Do we want to get married?

Ji Suk: I do not want to, Ha Ha.

The final greetings:

Hye Sun: I am thankful for your giving me your loves till now. I will do my best to play the role 'Yang Guk Hwa'.

Ji Suk: I would come out with my utmost endeavors. I would do my best as an actor.

Both: Please give "Pure 19" lots of loves.
