Choi Ji Woo 최지우

[Guest ellabel]

Ella sis, looking at the first poster and the 2nd one, I notice a change in their position. Maybe there will be a series of posters, each with different post. Remember there are supposed to be 10 sets, so maybe the posters are in sequence, and the last would be them facing each other, looking happy and contented after shopping in the mall. Or maybe hugging each other like in CUT maz. Crazy Panda fantasizing.

You have wild imagination Ching dear...

If it's just a 6 month endorsement and they have 10 sets, they shud be showing at least two every month.

hmmm could someone be a model from 2 comestic brand ??

But in CD she's only modelling comestic but also shoes, jewelry etc right ??

just see at the news thread that LJJ (Lee Jung Jae) confirm take the lead for "Air City"...

what about Jiwoo's chance as female lead ? Someone here said that Go Hyun Jung have been casted or that's still a rumour ?

apple, this has been answered by BearyBear a page back... Looks like CJW's Dior contract does not carry Japan and Formal Klein is exclusively for the Japanese market.

Isnt' LJJ being considered in Cain and Abel? In fact they already changed Jo In sung to Kang Dong wan but not LJJ.

Last I read, it's only GHJ who was mentioned as the lead actress in Air City.

Since Air City was supposed to have numerous chapters, they were mentioning other named stars like LBH and CJW. No confirmation tho from their management agencies.

Just sharing the exact version of the news on AIR CITY as posted at the thread news.

Lee Jung Jae is selected to lead the weekend drama “Air City (에어시티)” scheduled to be aired by MBC early December following the final episode of “Couple of Fantasy”. LJJ plays the role Kim Ji Sung who is a national secret agent having calm judgment capability.

This drama is a seasonal project celebrating the 5th anniversary of the opening of the Incheon International Airport by portraying the airport and navigating officers. Currently, MBC is negotiating the contract with LJJ’s agency.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It appears that MBC is still in the process of negotiating terms with LJJ's agency. There are so many speculations and no confirmation. So I guess another guessing game here! Cain or Abel or Air City or.....for CJW??? Wonder what take her so long to decide! Too many good scripts.....or too few good scripts???

Is "Air City" going to be like a TV series since Ella chingu mentioned that it has numerous chapters?

[Guest ellabel]

^ Actually, I only read in the News thread that Air City will have several chapters that's why they were considering and talking to many stars..... maybe, it will be a series of short stories about the comings and goings in the Incheon Airport and each episode will have one or two major stars that will portray the lead role(s). Just my thot so dont quote me.

xuexi, you are right. We would like to see Jiwoo in a period drama wearing hanbok. In Shadowless Sword she's a lady warrior.

Here is some interesting comment of a camera woman about Jiwoo's ability to shed tears quickly.

This comment is from the website of a female cameraman. I thought of relaying the message to everyone

Cameraman's Happy Comment

I am the official cameraman of JW's new movie YEONRIJI. I'm able to come face to face with her today

The lady standing in front of the camera is not the model but THE ACTRESS

It gets exciting during the photo shoot

At the last minute I asked JW "Sorry, please cry. Please show me an on-the-verge-of-tears expression"

Is this true?

After the shutter was pressed 6 times, JW's eyes were wet

I was so touched I cried too

Thank you Miss Choi Ji Woo

And thank you all staff around for making this really good work

[Guest xuexi]

I think this brand is Japanese, so it does not pose any conflict of interests with Dior as her Dior contract does not cover Japan.

I find it odd because I'm sure the aunties in Japan will snap up her Dior products.

Hi all, long absence from soompi. No news abt her next project, huh?

Hello, BB .... it's good to hear from you ..... ya, we all miss you here. Thanks for the clarification. I was also thinking probably Japan is not affected, otherwise I don't think Jiwoo cud take up this offer as endorser for Formal Klein, it wud be conflict of interest in light that she's Dior's spokesperson

Thanks, jas for posting the 2005 article on Jiwoo. It's always a joy to know there are fans out there who appreciates Jiwoo.

[jas]

xuexi, you are right. We would like to see Jiwoo in a period drama wearing hanbok. In Shadowless Sword she's a lady warrior.

yeah but I hope the period drama will focus around 1930 - 1960 since there is always drama on Chosun Dynasty, Silla, Paekche, and with all the hype about North Korea, there is no harm in tuning into that era and what tears Korea apart so that man will learn from history for the a better future.

the person who had met her personally always have good comments about jiwoo and suddenly I remember LBH comment that CJW is the most humble actress that he met that could listen to other advice.

And like any other celebrities she also have her portion of negative comments but this negative remarks often made by a person that didn't meet her personally and only based on the heresay

so I make the conclusion that she is indeed a good person and hope that she will not change her positive attitude

My apology to Ella for wrongly quoted her name. The news I read and extracted above was from AF Forum and it did not mention about the series of short stories. Sorry again for shooting my mouth without reading it from the News Thread at Soompi.

Glimpse of Jiwoo in a bra shop in Pusan recently

Jiwoo was in her hometown Pusan recently. Fans took her photos when she was seen in a shop which sells bras in Pusan. The fans all have high praises of her.

It seems that the shop is owned by her brother and she was helping in the shop that day.

She was in casual white T-shirt and black pants.

The fan who posted the photos said that actually she thought there¡¯s nothing special about stars. But after she met Jiwoo accidentally, she felt that Jiwoo is very beautiful, with good figure and long legs. She was so envious of her.
