YSY and Park Jae-Jung have been cast in 그대와 영원히 (lit. With You Forever), a romantic melodrama "transcending time and space." The premise involves (correct me if I'm wrong) a guy (recently dumped by his girlfriend) who's suffering from deja vu, and a love letter discovered in an unknown woman's 450-year-old grave in Andong.

Ma Dong-Suk (above, with YSY), Moon Hee-Kyung and Park Won-Sang will also appear in supporting roles.

The film is directed by Im Jin-Pyung and produced by Cinematograph & Bom Films, with music by electronica band Clazziquai. Originally set for a March 2010 release, it is currently delayed. [Star News]

Actress Yoon So-yi will appear in a two-part program to promote the 2010 Formula One Korean Grand Prix, which kicks off on Oct. 22 in Yeongnam, South Jeolla Province.

Yoon spent last weekend attending the Formula One Shanghai Grand Prix in order to brush up on her knowledge of the sport in preparation for the program, which will introduce and promote Formula One in Korea where racing is not a mainstream sport. She will offer tips on how to fully enjoy the sport.

"I'm honored to participate in an international sports event," Yoon says. "I learned that Formula One is not just a racing franchise but an international festival. I'm glad to help introduce the sport in Korea, and I'm determined to do my best to promote the Formula One Korean Grand Prix."

Dear kitland, I skimmed briefly over the text -- it's not a transcript but more like a summary. Not very exciting for me personally, hehe... The interview clip is more informative.

OJH was a little coy but he disclosed that his character is a yuhaksaeng (student studying abroad or foreign student) who has come to Korea to travel. (I had to let out a chuckle because I remember OJH grumbling that he never got to play a student owing to his "matured" looks. Hehe, so is this a small wish fulfilled for him?)

Yun So-I, meanwhile, is imho a natural fit for the role of an actress who dreams of escaping from her daily reality.

And so their paths cross.

The narrator indicated that there was a bit of an awkward vibe on the set at first (the pair not being familiar with each other). So as they were looking at the map outside the trailer, OJH took the initiative to break the ice.

OJH: So how many countries (have you) visited?

YSI: Me?

OJH: Hmph.

YSI: Not many. Ten?

OJH: That's a lot!

YSI: Haha. But it was all for work.

OJH: Oh, for work, I see.

is the t-max clip a teaser for a MV or drama or movie or erm their album in general?

Stars light up opening day of Puchon film fest

10Asia (Korean) 2010.07.16 | 10Asia (English) 2010.07.16

"Only humans can enjoy festivals and films are at the center of those festivals." The opening ceremony for the 14th Puchon International Fantastic Film Festival (PiFan) took place at Bucheon Citizen's Hall on Thursday evening. But the atmosphere, which had been dampened by the approach of the rainy season, lightened up as an array of stars, from near and far, took to the red carpet of the 11-day event.

Hwang Jung-eum, who has been selected this year's PiFan Lady after her predecessors including Kang Su-yeon, Chu Sang-mi, Bae Doona and Ha Ji-won, received a warm welcome from the audience, as was Yoshiyuki Tomino, the father of anime metaseries Gundam. Fans cheered for director Ryu Seung-wan and actor Ryu Seung-beom, the brothers who arrived all smiles and Kang Su-yeon, Ahn Sung-ki, Shin Hyun-joon and Oh Ji-ho stepped onto the red carpet side by side like comrades stepping onto a battlefield. The highest decibels of screams burst out upon the appearance of heartthrob Ko Soo, recipient of the fest's Fantasia Award.

At the opening ceremony hosted by actors Kong Hyung-jin and Choi Jung-won, newly established prizes -- namely the Actors Award and Fantasia Award -- were handed out. The Actors Award, where actors registered with the Korean Actors' Association choose the actor who best befits the PiFan, was handed to Ryu Seung-beom. In a strong and loud voice he remarked, "I will always work hard in a cute and fantastic way, as if I am the youngest in the film industry." The Fantasia Award, a title for the actors whose acting careers stood out the most for the citizens of Bucheon, went around to Ko Soo who said he had "always come to Bucheon with a hat pressed on" and Jo Yeo-jeong who "received an award for the first time after debuting." The ceremonial event, signaling the start to a fantastic night, ended with a speech by director Paul Scheuring, helmer of opening film "The Experiment." The festival has just started. A total of 193 movies from 42 countries around the world are waiting to curdle your blood and chill the hot summer air. The PiFan runs from July 15 to 25.
