"Gangnam Blues" Lee Min-ho, "Violent and intimate scenes"

Lee Min-ho has a quality of a superstar. It was hard to find the shy smile that he had when we met him in 2008 before he rose to stardom. Eight years later, he has become a great young man with a killer smile and charisma in his eyes. He was confident about his speech which made reporters proud of him.

Lee Min-ho's first leading role in "Gangnam Blues" is an action movie about the passion, loyalty and betrayal of two men during the time of the Gangnam land development. Lee Min-ho plays Kim Jong-dae who joins the land of war for his simple dream of obtaining a house of his own. Lee Min-ho asked how the movie was as soon as he met us. We honestly told him that there are pros and cons and he smiled as if he expected that answer.

"The movie is quite stimulating. We edited most of the violent and intimate scenes but the overall flow of the movie is much too strong. There were only good reviews about it after the premier, but later there were bad ones, too. I expected this reaction although I personally enjoyed the movie and thought it was fun. If I starred in a movie, I wanted to be a mature man in his 20s and I think this movie is exactly that. This character is much different from what I'm used to so I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do".

We can tell how he's so well-suited to the screens. There are places where he could work on more but he's so alive in "Gangnam Blues". His manly features and fit body is perfect for a 'noir' film. His flying kick brings awe to the audience. We could see just how long his 112 centimeter legs were. Although, he seems uncomfortable sitting at the low table from constantly switching positions.

"I think it's the dream of every actor to attempt a noir film. I really wanted to do it without worrying about using my body for action. Many people worried about me when I first got the offer, but I was pulled into the character. I didn't simply choose this character to relieve myself of the old one. I was depressed in my early 20s because I didn't have work; I was poor and had no confidence. I reflected those emotions to Jong-dae. The director told me he chose me for this role because he remembered my cold eyes from the movie "Public Enemy Returns". He teased me that it was gone and I worked hard to bring it back".

Lee Min-ho thought for a moment when we mentioned success. He's already a star in Asia and the effect of the results he creates with his decisions are considerate. He has too much pressure to think that he chose the role just because he's an actor. He knew this very well and he seemed very nervous about the release of "Gangnam Blues" in which he spent a year of his time on.

"I heard the breaking point was 3 million people. I wish we could do at least that. If we break through 5 million people, I would fly. It might not be easy as it's adult rated but I can hope. If we don't do as well as we expected, that's fine. But who can we blame? It's my choice. I didn't choose this movie for the sake of challenge. The public gives me the nickname "STAR" and they can take it back if they want to. I just did my best and in the next one I want to try something more extreme. A love story with a message or a war movie like "Fury" would be fun, too".

How is ordinary Lee Min-ho's life? In a recent show he starred in, he claimed that he was in love a year ago. The film promotional team said, "We tried to block that question but he's too honest".

"I'm always open to romance. I'm still waiting for 'the one'. I dream about my other half meeting me on the seat next to me on a plane. However, I have to be careful. I have no choice but to observe someone I may like. Then if I'm sure, I'll make a film. That's why chances are narrow for me. It's the sad truth. I don't have any particular hobbies. I can't drink well. I drink some beer occasionally when I'm off I play games with my friends or go skiing. And I'm always searching for something new to do".

“Gangnam 1970,” which stars Min Ho along with Kim Rae Won, debuted at No. 1 on Jan. 21, raking in $1.09 million (P48.42 million) with 152,573 in attendance from 684 screens, eking 31.6 percent of the day’s revenue share.

Sales jumped from Jan. 23 to 25 as the film accumulated $5,517,376 (P242.96 million) in earnings.

Its nearest competitor is the Walt Disney animation film “Big Hero 6,” which has earned $6.34 million (about P279 million) at the Korean box office.

The premiere of “Gangnam 1970” drew a slew of stars, among them were Kim Woo Bin, miss A’s Suzy, CNBLUE’s Minhyuk and Jonghyun, Kim Bum, Jung Il Woo and Ji Jin Hee.

Over the weekend, Lee Min Ho invited 1, 970 fans for the Minoz Film Screening Event in Seoul. The fans were able to watch the film for free coupled with free popcorn, drinks and gifts.

The star promised fans that if “Gangnam 1970” hits 5 million in attendance, he will pick up garbage in and around Gangnam along with volunteers.

During a recent interview for the film, Lee Min Ho denied rumors that he had plastic surgery.

“I have my reputable graduation pictures, so the suspicions on things like plastic surgery don’t bother me,” he was quoted as saying on ENewsWorld.

He admitted to visiting a dermatologist once in a while.

“I used to not take care of my looks. But now I’m a bit different. I think I should take care of my looks to a certain degree. I used to not even go to the dermatologist for eight, nine months out of laziness, but now I try to go once in a while,” he said.

As to picking “Gangnam 1970” as project, he said, “If I was trying to make more money or had intentions for commercial gains, I might not have chosen this film. But I wanted to show myself moving forward as an actor before I entered by ’30s, and that’s why I chose this movie.”

Korea Box Office: ‘Gangnam Blues,’ ‘Big Hero 6’ Finally Topple ‘Ode’

SEOUL — “Ode to My Father,” which had sat on top of the Korean box office for the past six weeks, was finally toppled. But newcomers “Gangnam Blues” and “Big Hero 6” were almost neck and neck over the Jan. 19—25 January.
“Gangnam Blues,” a local noir action movie written and directed by Yoo Ha, opened last Wednesday and beat “Ode” by drawing 150,000 admissions on the opening day. The action movie earned $7.57 million in its opening 5 days.
Arriving initially in third slot was another newcomer “Big Hero 6,” the first Disney animated feature based on a Marvel property. The Golden Globe Awards-nominated animation topped the chart on Sunday, narrowly beating “Gangnam” by scoring $5.03 million from the weekend alone. Over its five day run it managed $6.31 million, for second place behind “Gangnam,” but ahead of “ode.”
Melodrama “Ode” pushed its total past 12 million admissions Sunday and recorded a cumulative haul of $86.55 million, according to KOBIS, the box office tracking service of the Korean Film Council (KOFIC).
Two local dramas handled by Korea’s major distributors “Love Forecast” and “Chronicles of a Blood Merchant” both saw slumps, of 42% and 55% respectively. 
Splitting the two was “Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb,” the top U.S. title from the previous week. It was watched by 140,000 spectators during the weekend and now has a cumulative box office score of $6.20 million.
“John Wick” opened in seventh spot with $465,000. “Ex Machina,” a sci-fi thriller handled by Universal Pictures International Korea, opened on the same day as leaders “Gangnam” and “Big Hero 6.” Showing on 204 screens nationwide, the movie scored $413,700 on 55,200 admissions in its first 5 days.

South Korean Box Office: 'Big Hero 6' Debuts Second Behind Local Action Film 'Gangnam Blues'
South Korean drama Ode to My Father ended its long reign at the top of the box office, as local actioner Gangnam Blues and Disney's Big Hero 6 respectively made big debuts last week.
Gangnam Blues, starring Asian superstar Lee Min-ho, took 26.9 percent of the weekend revenue during this period (Jan. 23-25). The film distributed by Showbox/Mediaplex has so far earned $7.6 million and is expected to reap more sales as it opens across 13 Asian countries.
In addition to its successful pre-sale to neighboring countries, the film will make its official market debut at the European Film Market during the Berlin Film Festival next month. Gangnam Blues is about the friendship and betrayal between two ambitious young men during Korea's tumultuous 1970s economic development, as they become involved in the real estate business of Seoul's posh Gangnam area (yes, as in "Gangnam Style"). The film marks the third in director Yoo Ha's noir "street trilogy" following Spirit of Jeet Keun Do (2004) and A Dirty Carnival (2006). 
Next came Big Hero 6, which trailed close behind in second place by taking 24.6 percent of sales and a cumulative gross of $6.32 million. The robot hero story follows in the unprecedented success of last year's Frozen, which became one of the highest grossing films in Korean box office history. Both films are handled by Walt Disney Company Korea. Big Hero 6 also drew a lot of attention here for featuring the the voice of regionally popular star Daniel Henney, an American model-turned-actor of Korean descent.

Homespun family drama Ode to My Father toppled down to third place after dominating the box office for five consecutive weeks, but still accounted for 18.4 percent of tickets sold. The CJ Entertainment film has so far brought in a total of $86.27 million or over 12 million viewers — topping Haeundae (a.k.a. Tidal Wave), another record-breaking blockbuster directed by JK Youn. In terms of admissions, by which local theaters primarily measure a film's performance, Ode to My Father is now the eighth most watched film in Korean cinema history.
Homegrown romantic comedy Love Forecast, stepped down to fourth place from last week's second. Another CJ Entertainment release, the film grabbed 10.2 percent of sales with cumu earning of $11.37 million.
Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb fell down to fifth place after debuting in third last week. The Twentieth Century Fox Korea title brought in 6 percent of sales over the weekend, with total earnings amounting to $6.2 million since opening on Jan. 14.
Homegrown family drama Chronicles of a Blood Merchant (Showbox/Mediaplex) came in sixth while John Wick (Joy N Contents) starring Keanu Reeves debuted at seventh (2.2 percent of sales or a total $690,000). American Sniper finished eighth, slipping down three spots from last week's fifth. The Warner Bros. Korea has so far earned about $1.2 million.

I know some fans don't want any spoilers, but I'd like to recommend you to search for the character chart(or introduction) on P12 or to be familiar with their faces at least in advance before watching GB.

There are many characters in the movie, so if you don't have any knowledge about characters, it will be hard for you to understand who-works-for-whom, and who-is-whose-enemy at first. 

I saw many Korean moviegoers complained about that. 

GB can be a boring movie for those people who can't grasp the character's relations quickly. 

Even for me, I recognized every face at my second watching.

 

And for those who will watch GB in your countries with subtitles, I will teach you some swearing words so that you can understand how often Jong Dae and other people curse in the movie. ^^

The first one is "ssibal" or "ssipal". It is an outright swearing. I think it's equivalent to F-word in English.

So if you use this word to strangers in real life, you will be in a big trouble.

But Jong Dae sometimes says this word to Yong Gi in an endearing way. LOL

I hope you will be able to differentiate it from real swearing. ^^

The second one is "gaesaekki" or "gaesaekkya". It means SOB. 

I hope this can be any help for you. ^^

[REVIEW] Gangnam Blues

26 January, 2015 | By Jason Bechervaise

Dir/scr: Yoo Ha. South Korea. 2015. 135mins

Marking something of a return to form, Yoo Ha’s gangster film about two close friends who get separated and join different gangs is set against a fascinating backdrop as one of Seoul’s most affluent districts Gangnam – now famous following Psy’s hit single Gangnam Style – is being drawn out amidst much corruption in the real estate market during the 1970s.

At times, its scope is perhaps overly ambitious inevitably making it heavy going for some. However, much like Yoo’s classic A Dirty Carnival, this film is set to stand the test of time owing to Yoo’s captivating craftsmanship that will demand subsequent viewings. Beautifully shot and choreographed it captures the era in glorious fashion – also aided by an excellent 1970s soundtrack that includes Filipino folk-singer Freddie Aguilar’s song Anak that was released in the late ‘70s.

Locally, the film took a respectable $5.5 million for an R or 18 rated film on its opening weekend (Jan 23-25) and has currently accumulated $8.3 million since its release on January 21. This is likely to be attributed to a number of factors including the casting of superstar Lee Min-ho alongside Kim Rae-won together with its compelling backdrop, which is part of an ongoing trend in Korean films, television and music to go back in time.

Going forward, its success will depend on how viewers react to its dark tone. Internationally, meanwhile, Lee Min-ho’s starring presence will be its strongest selling point, especially in Asia where he’s immensely popular, while fans of Yoo and Korean gangster films will also be intrigued by this bold and stylistic feature as it hits various territories in the coming days and weeks.  

The film’s two central characters are childhood friends Jong-dae (Lee Min-ho) and Yong-gi (Kim Rae-won) who struggle as orphans to make ends meet. They are then separated once they get involved in a political skirmish after their shanty home is demolished. Three years later, Yong-gi is now working in a criminal organisation, the Myeongdong-pa while Jong-dae is still living with a former gang leader Kil-su (Jung Jin-young) and his daughter Seon-hye (Kim Seol-hyun), but also ends up in another gang after Kil-su is unable to repay his debt, and seeks to help and find another way of earning money.

Ultimately, as those in high places meddle in real estate as the price of land is set to rise (this particular piece of land they are after is now known as Gangnam, which literally means south of the (Han) River that runs through Seoul); the two friends are caught in a web of corruption, but on opposing sides making their friendship increasingly precarious. 

When it comes to gangster films, Yoo again demonstrates his expertise at orchestrating such a feature following a departure into other genres such as the erotic period film A Frozen Flower and thriller Howling where he failed to make the same impact. Akin to Once Upon a Time in High School – the first film in his noir “street trilogy” that includes A Dirty Carnival, and concludes with this feature - Yoo grounds his latest film in a social and political context always provoking further thought with references to the social system, almost poking fun at it all, which is emphasized in the film’s poignant final scene. 

On a technical level, this is Yoo’s most accomplished film to date with a number of outstanding set-pieces using an array of camera angles and locations while masterfully exploiting lighting, colour and choreography giving it a rich noir touch.

This film features two stars, but it’s Lee Min-ho who leaves the lasting impression despite him being the less experienced of the two – it’s his first leading role in a film. Successfully shaking off his persona as someone used to playing attractive and wealthy young men in Korean television dramas, he’s certainly one to look out for given how he’s embraced this challenging role.

Gangnam Blues is not without its problems though. There is little room for supporting roles to be fully developed, with the exception of the character Kil-su, and it’s also a little uneven in places. Some may also struggle with its overarching scope and bleak tone, but regardless of its faults, it certainly doesn’t disappoint. Fans of Yoo and Korean gangster fare should therefore welcome his latest triumph.

[Guest guadi]

I'm more than thrilled that the movie has been receiving positive reviews. That was one of my hopes for Gangnam Blues that it received positive feedbacks from critics overall as well as in acting. 
Granted I haven't seen the movie (and my view of it may change after I see it), but for now, having been following along the process from initial casting to present, I'm glad the production team doesn't sacrifice its artistic view of the movie in order to gain more commercial appeal. At the start, Yuha had been set on making a 19+ film that would incorporate as much underworld reality as he could. And it's rewarding to see critics acknowledging Yu's deftly approach to making this movie a noir classic. I came across an article shortly after the press preview, one of the lines that struck with me was about the violent nature of the movie, which apparently was quite heavy. When that critic described GB's physical violence as a metaphor of the character's ambition and volatile desire, I was intrigued. 
And for me, speaking as a minoz, I'm extremely content that LMH is getting positive reactions from Chungmuro critics. Acting wise, he has his ups and downs, and for this particular project, it appears that those glassy emotive eyes of his are back! Not that they've been lost, but for a while it felt like they'd changed. 
And also for Kim Rae-won, I can't wait to see him on the big screen. I'm loving Punch so much right now. Can't wait to see their broken bromance.

Park Shin Hye, Choi Jin Hyuk and Kim Woo Bin at VIP Premiere

[zinnia]

I think it can be a bit off-topic, but I can't pass over wrong translations of Minho's words. So I'd like to correct here.

@Alma22 I don't know where you brought this translation but I want you to let them know it so that they won't spread it attached with wrong translation.

 

I'm really frustrated to see this part below,

 

[in addition, she said "Later on, Minho Oppa said to me, 'You lost a lot of weight didn't you?' so the rest of them complimented me like 'Our Shinhye is always slender' but it sounded more like a diss to me.]

 

I checked the original article.

[더불어 그는 "나중에 (이)민호 오빠가 '니가 보기엔 좀 쎘지?'라고 그러더라. 그러면서 '우리 신혜가 여리여리하잖아' 라면서 디스도 같이 했다.]

According to it, Minho said to Shinhye, "It(the movie) was a bit too strong(meaning dark and violent) for you, wasn't it?".

Seriously, I can't understand where 'You lost a lot of weight didn't you?' came from.

And ‘우리 신혜가 여리여리하잖아’ can be translated into 'Our Shinhye is slender', but in this context 'Our Shinhye is soft-hearted(or timid, chicken-hearted)' is more appropriate interpretation in my opinion.

 

Therefore, my translation of that paragraph is [In addition, she said "Later on, Minho Oppa said to me, 'It(the movie) was a bit too strong(or dark, violent) for you, wasn't it?' And he dissed me at the same time saying 'Our Shinhye is soft-hearted(or timid, chicken-hearted)'.]
