- Is there a noticeable hoobae/junior?

“I noticed Choi Seung-hyun-ssi(Big Bang’s T.O.P) and Park Yoochun-ssi. Yoochun-ssi has acted a lot in dramas, but I had the perception of him as a ‘friend who has singer activities’, until I watched ‘Sea Fog’. I was taken aback repeatedly by Yoochun-ssi acting really well while watching ‘Sea Fog’. I felt like ‘this friend whether will do well or desires to at this [T/N: in acting]’. He has immersed himself really well.”

JYJ members to embark on solo activities

Updated : November 27 2014

(C-Jes Entertainment)

K-pop boy band JYJ members will focus on solo careers after wrapping up their group activities at the end of this year.

The boys -- Yoochun, Jaejoong and Junsu -- pursued musical career as a group since they released the second studio album “Just Us” on July 29.

The trio are gearing up to return to the drama, film and musical scene after ending their Japanese concert tour series in December.

(OSEN)

The award-winning actor Yoochun is mulling over what drama or film to star in next. He is now reviewing several scenarios, sourced said.

The rookie actor instantly became one of the most sought-after actors after earning high acclaim from critics for sophisticated acting in his debut film “Sea Fog,” released in August.

The idol-turned-actor already seized two prizes for his realistic acting at the 51st Grand Bell Awards and 34th Korean Association of Film Critics Awards.

(C-Jes Entertainment)

Jaejoong is also to continue his acting career. He was greatly praised for his acting in the dramas “Protect the Boss,” “Dr. Jin” and, most recently, “Triangle.”

Jaejoong will play a South Korean intelligent agent in the upcoming drama “Spy.” The political action thriller will portray a story about the South-North Korean conflicts following the execution of Jang Song-thaek, the former No.2 man in North Korea.

The 16-episode drama is scheduled to air on KBS every Friday starting from January.

(OSEN)

Junsu is being offered parts in several musicals after he successfully played his role in the musical “Dracula” in September.

In addition, the vocalist plans to hold a set of solo concerts at the end of December.

The concerts, titled “2014 XIA Ballad & Musical Concert with Orchestra vol. 3,” will take place at Jamsil Indoor Stadium on Dec. 30-31.

(C-Jes Entertainment)

As a group, the boys will release the first EP in Japan. They are currently on the “JYJ Japan Dome Tour,” with the upcoming shows to be held in Osaka on Dec. 13 and 14 and Fukuoka on Dec. 23 and 24.

Who will win rookie actor award at Blue Dragon festival?

Updated : November 27 2014

Actors Park Yoo-chun, Yim Si-wan, Kim Woo-bin (OSEN)

Particular attention is being paid to who will be winner of the coveted rookie actor award at the 35th Blue Dragon Film Awards slated for Dec. 17.

This is because the shortlisted five candidates are all rising actors or pop idols who made their screen debuts this year.

The candidates for the Best New Male Actor are actors Kim Woo-bin, Choi Jin-hyuk and Ahn Jae-hong, and singers Park Yoo-chun of JYJ and Yim Si-wan of Z:EA.

Among the five, Park, Kim and Yim are receiving the most spotlight, according to news reports.

Actor Park Yoo-chun in the movie "Sea Fog" (NEW)

Singer-actor Park was nominated for playing the part of Dong-sik in “Sea Fog.” Although the film marked his big-screen debut, he has received wide acclaim from viewers, directors and famous senior actors.

Park had already clinched two rookie actor prizes, the first at the 51st Grand Bell Awards and second at the 34th Korean Association of Film Critics Awards. Whether the actor can clinch a triple-crown through the Blue Dragons Film Awards is becoming a heated topic in the film industry.

[Past And Present] A Rooftop Prince Who Can Sing, Park Yoochun
[by Woorim Ahn] 
Park Yoochun was born on June 4, 1986 in Seoul and he is mostly known as Yoochun and Mickey Yoochun. He used Micky Yoochun when he belonged to his former group TVXQ, but now he goes by Park Yoochun in his current team JYJ. His family moved to Virginia, the United States when he was 13, but he came back to Korea to start his singer career.

He firstly made his debut as a member of TVXQ in 2003 and got successful outcomes for his career. However, in 2009 Yoochun, Jaejoong and Junsu sued their agency SM Entertainment for unreasonable contract conditions so those three members formed a new group JYJ.

From 2010, Park Yoochun started his acting career with Japanese drama ‘Beautiful Love ~ If You Were Here~’. Then, he appeared in KBS drama ‘Sungkyunkwan Scandal’ as a role of rich and passionate nobleman Lee Seon Joon. With this drama, he won ‘Rookie of the Year’ at 2010 KBS Drama Awards and the 47th Baeksang Arts Awards.

In addition, he starred in drama ‘Miss Ripley’, ‘Rooftop Prince’, ‘Missing You’ and ‘Three Days’. Park Yoochun also showed up in movie ‘Haemoo’ in 2014, which was his first film that he officially took and he won ‘Best New Actor’ at the 51st Grand Bell Awards, 15th Busan Film Critics Awards, 34th Korean Association of Film Critics Awards and 4th Shin Young Kyun Arts & Culture Foundation Beautiful Artist Awards.

Although he began to show up in Entertainment industry as a singer, he succeeded as an actor as well. Park Yoochun also has a brother Park Yoohwan, who is an actor as well.

Interview: Shim Sung Bo on Cutting Through the Haze with #Haemoo, South Korea's Thrilling Oscar Entry http://moveablefest.com/moveable_fest/2014/12/shim-sung-bo-haemoo-interview.html …

Interview: Shim Sung Bo on Cutting Through the Haze with “Haemoo”

The co-writer of "Memories of Murder" on his thrilling seafaring debut.

by Stephen Saito December 3, 2014

It speaks to the quality of “Haemoo” that when Shim Sung-bo reflects on what was the most difficult day of filming the technically complex high seas thriller about a fishing crew that attempts to smuggle a group of Korean immigrants back from China, it wasn’t the physical challenge of ‎shooting one of the film’s harrowing action sequences that got to the director. It was how it could be as emotionally devastating as possible that he took great pains to get right.

“The most difficult moment was the last scene because we had to shoot it earlier [than expected] because of our production schedule,” says Shim, speaking through a translator as the film made its Los Angeles premiere at the AFI Fest. “I had to make some different choices than was originally written on the scenario, [and] doing that first, without going through all the other transitional parts, was hard.”

You wouldn’t know it from the final film, which exudes a confidence from start to finish that would hardly suggest Shim was a first-time director. Then again, he’s been waiting for this opportunity for over a decade since he first made a name for himself internationally as the co-writer of Bong Joon-ho’s breakthrough sophomore feature “Memories of Murder.” To return the favor, Bong helped Shim produce “Haemoo,” which like the “Snowpiercer” director’s work combines the exhilarating highs of well-crafted action and suspense with a social consciousness that makes every twist and turn feel like a punch to the gut.

Based on a real-life incident that was originally adapted for the stage, the film posits the those traveling on the boat as a microcosm of Korean society in the wake of the economically IMF crisis of the late ’90s with every individual decision made affecting everyone else onboard, with the question of whether each passenger is acting out of self-preservation or for the general good as much as a driving force for the story as the furious waves that pound the ship and have everyone fear for their survival, particularly when it comes to a burgeoning romance between a member of the crew named Dong-sik (Yu-Chun Park) and an immigrant named Hong-mae (Ye-ri Han). Boasting an unusual two-gimbal approach to the camerawork that brings audiences right into the stormy waters, Shim creates an all-consuming experience that won’t let go either viscerally or psychologically and after being selected as South Korea’s official entry into this year’s Oscars, he spoke about how important casting was to the film, making the most of a limited setting and how he’s only just getting started.

How did this film come about?

Director Bong Joon-ho of recommended a stage play based on a true story, so I read it. I liked it because it was about these regular people, just like you and me, but somehow they got involved in a crime and that eventually led to their destruction, but the whole story was unfolding from their point of view. Another important theme of the play was the love story between Dong Sik and Hong-mae’s characters, so together I thought okay, I’m going to make a movie out of this.

Was this difficult to visualize since it came from a stage play?

Actually, the entire play happens in a fishing vessel, so once I thought that my film could focus on the ship, it wasn’t hard. I liked the claustrophobia of the limited setting. People were put together and ‎there was a sense of nowhere to go, so I used that element [for tension]. In the play between scenes, they also make the transitions just by using only sound and I tried to visualize that sound.

You also hired Hong Kyung-pyo, who is known for his work on the water in such films as “Typhoon.” How was he a help?

Yes, the cinematographer is a consummate craftsman, [specifically skilled in] the coloring and positioning of characters. He’s known for all of those things and for how he utilizes the smog for filming – yes, he made “Typhoon,” but he also made a film called “Ghost.” Honestly, in Korea, unlike Hollywood, we don’t accumulate a lot of technology that can deal with this type of movie, so beyond being a cinematographer, he was more like a producer. His contribution was very essential for the movie.

Was it difficult to accommodate such a large cast of characters?

It wasn’t easy. I’m a new director, so dealing with all these actors wasn’t an easy job. But another thing is that a lot of my actors are well-known. They’re rather famous actors in Korea, even though some of them play the smaller roles and it was because the story unfolds in a very claustrophobic, limited space. That means a lot of the time, you have to have to focus on these characters’ subtle movements, like their facial expressions, so I wanted good actors who could handle not just the dialogue, but when I put the camera on their faces, they could show what they’re feeling.

The captain is played by Kim Yoon-Seok, who is best known for playing villains in “The Chaser” and “The Yellow Sea,” but in this film, you’re never quite sure whether he’s good or bad. Did you want to take the personas some of your actors were known for and subvert them?

First of all, I didn’t try to change his image from this well-known villain character actor to a good guy. That wasn’t it. But you’re right, Kim Yoon-Seok has played many villainous roles. However, he has played regular guys, like a father who struggles to support his family too, so he can embody both of these different characters. He can be strong and rather imposing, but also he’s an everyman, so I thought maybe in my movie is where these two types of characters he plays could intersect. Also, the guy is very sensitive, very subtle. There’s a lot of subtlety and a lot of times he can be touchy-feely, so that’s why I cast him in the role of Captain Kang.

You’ve said a big part of Bong Joon-ho’s contribution was to help simplify things. Was there a specific thing he really helped with? [minor spoiler ahead]

You remember the boatswain [Ho-young, played by Kim Sang-ho] who holds Hong-mae from the engine room and [plans] to throw her into the sea? Originally, my idea was the boatswain was going to save her, and of course, at that moment, the captain is out of his mind. So the boatswain was going to deceive the captain, saying yes, yes, I’m going to kill her, but he was actually going to save her. But Bong Joon-ho suggested if you make the boatswain a good guy like that, that was going to be a burden for Dong-Sik later. So I decided that supporting character should be consistent. That way, I made that audience focus on Dong-sik, seeing the struggle within himself between good and evil.

After waiting patiently to make your first feature, what is it like to now be taking it around the world?

Through my film, I’ve been able to meet a lot more people than I’m used to, not just Korea, but from all over the world. Also, of course, I realize there’s still a long way to go. I know my own shortcomings, so I’m resolved to go deeper and study more. I think this is a new beginning. This is going to be my set point that will help me find my next stop to go.

“Haemoo” does not yet have U.S. distribution. It will next play at the Palm Springs International Film Festival in early January.

They are actors who’re tearing down the wall called ‘idol’ perfectly here. These men are active idols who also were onscreen this year; and showed unforeseen potentials to be able to achieve recognition. Park Yoochun. pictured | Movie ‘Sea Fog’ still JYJ Park Yoochun became Chungmuro’s ascending blue chip in a single burst with his screen debut film ‘Sea Fog’. He has already ventured onto TV shows with dramas ‘Sungkyunkwan Scandal’, ‘Rooftop Prince’, ‘Missing You’ and etc. and received love from the mass public, but movie ‘Sea Fog’ was where it was doubtful about if he can survive around Kim Yoon-seok, Lee Hee-joon, Moon Sung-keun and other actors who knows all the ins and outs [of Chungmuro]. Nevertheless, Park Yoochun has swept the Best New Male Actor awards at the 34th Korean Film Critics Association Awards and the 51st Daejong Film Awards with outstanding acting of subtle emotions and having been indignant as the maknae of ship ‘Jeonjin’, Dong-sik, in ‘Sea Fog’, increasing even the weight deliberately; and gained acknowledgment for his acting ability.

Choi Min-sik, Yoo Hae-jin, Park Yoo-chun in Chungmuro

2014/12/08 Permalink | Source
Chungmuro was a male party. From successful movies to rookies, the event focused on actors who contributed to the film industry throughout the year. The best movies were awarded and rookies were introduced. It was disappointing that actresses didn't have much space to stand in.
# Acting God: Choi Min-sik
It's not an overstatement to say that it was Choi Min-sik's year with his greatest hit being "The Admiral: Roaring Currents". He took on the role of Admiral Yi Sun-shin and 17.6 million people have watched it. The movie re-wrote Korean movie history. This syndrome brought about historical movies once more and there was even debate about the social role of these kinds of generation movies. Choi Min-sik has a record breaking movie on his hands.

# Safe base as an actor: Park Yoo-chun, Si Wan, Choi Seung-hyeon
There were many actors turned singers this year. Park Yoo-chun from "Haemoo" took home the 34th Yeongpyeong Award, the 51st Daejong Rookie Award and more. Si Wan left a deep impression with the movie "The Attorney" which was released in December last year. Choi Seung-hyeon continuously starred in movies "71-Into the Fire", "Commitment" and "Tazza: The High Rollers 2".
