Because bad luck, including everything the likes of flat tires, seems to follow him around, Cha Tae Hyun has been newly christened the ‘icon of bad luck’ in 1 Night, 2 Days. In real life, however, he’s actually having a streak of great luck.

Cha Tae Hyun will be signing yet another commercial contract. BBQ, one of the biggest fried chicken brands in Korea, announced that it would showcase a new commercial starring Cha Tae Hyun and Baek Yoon Sik come May.

Chicken commercials are usually taken over by idol stars, but BBQ chose to cast Cha Tae Hyun to differentiate itself from the others. The brand implied that it would introduce the brand’s differences and quality through Cha Tae Hyun’s wit and Baek Yoon Sik’s trademark humor.

This isn’t the only brand that Cha Tae Hyun is currently modeling for. With his friendly and popular image, he’s been taking over commercials in various areas such as male cosmetics and canned coffee.

His success was helped on by his appearance in 1 Night, 2 Days 2, and the charms he showed through the variety program are thought to have added to his likeability. The ‘icon of bad luck’ Cha Tae Hyun seems to have grabbed a great bit of luck for himself with his appearance on 1 Night, 2 Days 2.

Cha Tae Hyun to Make a Cameo Appearance on 'Unexpected You'

Source: Nate l CJ E&M enewsWorld Stewart Ho

Funny man Cha Tae Hyun has filmed his cameo appearance for the KBS drama Unexpected You.

Cha Tae Hyun will appear in the upcoming 26th episode of the drama series. In it, he′ll play Tae Bong, the first love of Yoon Hee, played by Kim Nam Joo.

In the drama, Yoon Hee and Gwee Nam (played by Yoo Joon Sang) are bickering while pushing their baby stroller when they encounter Tae Bong and Yoon Hee recognizes her first love.

The appearance of ‘Tae Bong’ is especially humorous to viewers of the show as in past episodes Yoon Hee was seen asking Gwee Nam, “Your blood type isn’t B?” This prompted Gwee Nam to ask her which type-B blood man she kept referring to which prompted her to stammer and explain there was a man named Tae Bong in her past.

Cha Tae Hyun filmed his scenes on May 13 at Seoul’s Seonam Hospital. Arriving early, Cha Tae Hyun’s friendly demeanor and quick wit reportedly won over the staff and cast.

A drama production staff shared, “Cha Tae Hyun’s special character is a great fit for Unexpected You. Another [actor] playing his role could be seen as being over dramatic but for Cha Tae Hyun, it’s a great fit. Please anticipate Cha Tae Hyun, who, by not doing too much or too little, nailed his role."

Cha Tae Hyun’s appearance will air on May 20.

Cha Tae-hyun says he only had one girlfriend
By Carla Sunwoo Korea JoongAng Daily



Actor Cha Tae-hyun announced on KBS 2TV’s talk show program “Win Win,” that he had only dated one girl, who is now his wife.

On the show that aired on July 24, Cha said that he met his wife when he was in second year of high school.

“I’m sure that she’s dated other guys,” said Cha, “but not me. She’s the only girl I’ve ever dated.”

Cha said that his wife was his first love, but after dating in high school, they broke up, a gap period which Cha’s wife used diligently, while Cha didn’t.

“After we broke up, I think she dated about three or four other guys,” guessed Cha.

To confirm the details of his wife’s past loves, the hosts of the show called up Cha’s wife Choi Suk-eun who said that she did indeed date other guys, “but it wasn’t serious.”

“If I had the choice to go back in time, I’d still marry him,” said Choi, reaffirming her love for her husband.

“You know people see me as this romantic guy because I married my high school sweetheart,” Cha explained, “but the thing is I really had no other options.”

History, comedy, icy chill meet in 'Heist'
By Kwaak Je-yup The Korea Times


Cha Tae-hyun, left, and Go Chang-seok play thieves of royal ice blocks 
in a period action/comedy “The Grand Heist.” The feature debut by Kim Joo-ho 
opens on Aug. 8 in theaters nationwide. / Courtesy of Next Entertainment World (NEW)

So far, this summer’s blockbusters have been rather heavyweight — both in scale and content. From “The Amazing Spider-Man” and “Yeongasi” to “The Dark Knight Rises” and “The Thieves,” moviegoers have been drenched in gloom and doom, as if in reflection of the world’s sorry state today.

“The Grand Heist,” opening on Aug. 8, breaks away from this trend and does it in style. This feature debut by Kim Joo-ho will provide an excellent solution for those looking to escape from socio-economic problems and the blazing heat.

Titled “Gone With the Wind” in Korean, the comedy takes place in the late 18th century of Joseon Kingdom (1392-1910), during the last years of King Yeongjo’s reign. Ice is a commodity more valuable than gold. Blocks of it are harvested from frozen rivers in winter, put in royal storage and distributed or sold throughout the year for general consumption. When corrupt officials conspire to form a monopoly and fix its price, a gang of 11 professionals is formed to stop the scheme — and to do that they must make all the royal ice blocks in five storage rooms disappear for a night.

In spite of the plot’s political color, newcomer Kim creates a feel-good family-oriented comedy feature with mastery. With just the right amount of plot twists and surprises in all the right places, the film’s pacing is one of the best seen in a two-hour commercial Korean feature.

While none of the 11 characters is well-developed by any standard of complexity, the near-perfect casting and actors’ ample charms — especially from Cha Tae-hyun as an aristocrat’s bastard son and Sin Jeong-geun as the explosives maker Dae-hyeon — carry the movie forward swimmingly.


Summer moviegoers will revel, often unconsciously, in the ubiquity of ice on screen. The computer-generated ice blocks and frozen rivers are realistic enough to send a chill up the spine. (The only exception is in the opening credit sequence, where the CGI looks a bit unrefined, yet once the action begins the mishap is soon forgotten.)

The real core of “Heist,” however, is the actors. Cha, an expert in playing cowardly but lovable characters — most memorably in “Scandal Makers” (2008) and “My Sassy Girl” (2001) — in some way reprises a similar character here, as the bastard son of the court’s only clean official initially chasing pretty girls and rare exotic books. Even though his life goals change somewhat during the two-hour running time, he does not veer far from the stereotypical Cha Tae-hyun character.

But he does it so beautifully that one cannot hate him. Cha has an uncanny ability to lower the viewers’ guard, and this film showcases his most valuable skill as much as possible.

Others, including this year’s busiest supporting actors Go Chang-seok (as shovel-digging specialist Seok-chang) and Seong Dong-il (as Soo-gyun, the chief financial backer of the gang), closely follow Cha’s path, only disadvantaged by shorter time on screen. 

Lee Chae-young’s turn as spy-cum-gisaeng Seol-hwa packs charisma, and serves as an effective balance to the unruly male thieves she works with. Even child actors Cheon Bo-geun (as Jeong-gun) and Kim Hyang-gi (Nan-i) are impeccable.

In the midst of these talented craftsmen and women, Sin manages to edge ahead a little further and steals almost every scene as a near-deaf explosives maker. The acclaimed theater actor is the one to watch, even in a supporting capacity.

Heartthrob Oh Ji-ho, playing a trained soldier and ousted chief guard of the royal ice storage, comes up a little short compared to his co-stars, yet that is more due to the stoicism of his character Dong-soo. 

“The Grand Heist” opens on Aug. 8 in theaters nationwide. Runs for 121 minutes. Rated 12 and over. Distributed by Next Entertainment World (NEW).

Korean Film Fest in Australia rolls out ambitious 2012 line-upKOBIZ
 In only its third year, the 2012 Korean Film Festival in Australia (KOFFIA) has released its line-up, which contains a variety of contemporary classics as well as some of the Korea’s biggest blockbusters from the last two years. KOFFIA will hold screenings in three different cities across Australia from late August to early September. Panorama, the fest’s largest section and centerpiece, will screen seven features. Headlining is 2011’s undisputed box office champ <War of the Arrows> along with surprise hit <Sunny> and 2012’s Cannes selections -- HONG Sangsoo’s <In Another Country> and IM Sang-soo’s <The Taste of Money>. Rounding out the section is Korea’s 2012 Oscar submission, <The Front Line>, the senior love story <Late Blossom> and another film from the increasingly prolific HONG Sangsoo, <The Day He Arrives>. Highlighting two genres KOFFIA sees as important in contemporary Korean cinema, sections entitled K-Comedy and K-Mystery will each screen three films. K-Comedy will catch one of 2012’s biggest hits thus far, <All About My Wife>, and also jump back in time for the popular 2011 film <DETECTIVE K: Secret of Virtuous Widow> and <Sunny> director KANG Hyoung-chul’s smashing debut, <Speedy Scandal>. K-Mystery unsurprisingly takes a darker turn with <The Yellow Sea>, starring HA Jung-woo, critical darling <Bleak Night> and the shocking tale of school abuse that was based on a true story, <Silenced>. KOFFIA’s Modern Classics this year will include two films from 2003, PARK Chan-wook’s <Oldboy> and KIM Ki-duk’s <Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter and... Spring>, along with HUR Jin-ho’s quintessential melodrama, 1998’s <Christmas in August>. The fest’s Documentary section will also feature dk dk KIM Ki-duk, screening his Cannes-winning <Arirang>. Completing the section is the musical-social chronicle of singer Baek-ja ,<The Reason Why I Step>, and the Italian-produced <Through Korean Cinema>, which is based on in-depth interviews with five contemporary Korean directors. New to 2012 is the Animation section, which will feature two wildly different films -- the family-friendly Myung Films hit <Leafie: A Hen into the Wild> and YEUN Sang-ho’s dark and ultra-violent <THE KING OF PIGS>. Finally, KOFFIA will offer two short film sections. The first, the International Short Film Showcase, features 13 recent shorts including festival fare such as KIM Seok-young’s <Anesthesia>, YOON Ki-nam’s <The Metamorphosis> and 2011 Cannes invitee <Ghost>. The second section, the KOFFIA Short Film Competition, is the fest’s sole competition and will screen a variety of Australian shorts that relate to Korea in some fashion -- whether by virtue of their filmmakers, actors, language or topic -- and award cash prizes to the top films, actors and actresses. KOFFIA 2012 will be running in Sydney from August 22-28, Melbourne from September 8-12 and Brisbane from September 27-30.

New films plumb obscure Joseon period events ... with a comic twist
By Cho Jae-eun Korea JoongAng Daily

‘I Am a King’ marks the return of Joo Ji-hoon to the big screen.



Historic comedies “I Am a King,” and “The Grand Heist” both opened in local theaters on Wednesday. Provided by Lotte Entertainment and Next Entertainment World

Two new historic comedies, “The Grand Heist” and “I Am a King,” opened in theaters this week, giving local box office leaders “The Dark Knight Rises” and “The Thieves” a run for their money.

Both are set during the Joseon era (1392-1910) and loosely based on actual characters and events. While in the past, local films based on this period tended to focus the synopsis on eroticism or power struggle, the two new movies focus on relatively obscure events with a modern, humorous touch. 

“I Am a King” marks the return of Joo Ji-hoon to the big screen after a three-year hiatus after the completion of his mandatory military service and the infamous drug scandal in which he was involved in 2009. Joo, who plays two roles in the film, Prince Choong-nyeong (who later becomes King Sejong) and a slave, Deok-chil, expressed his determination to get back in the good graces of the public during a recent press conference.

“I was always short for time because I was playing two roles,” the actor said.

“For the two months that I spent trying to get into the role, I talked to the director almost every day to prepare .?.?. If the film attracts more than three million people, I promise to walk around the Daehagno area wearing the slave costume.” 

The film, director Jang Kyu-sung’s fifth feature after “Small Town Rivals” (2007), is set in the three months before the prince becomes King Sejong. While to future generations, King Sejong would stand as a legendary figure for his creation of the Korean alphabet and advancing the country’s scientific research and law, as Prince Choong-nyeong he was known to be a bit of a reclusive bookworm. With this premise, the film borrows from the plot of “The Prince and the Pauper,” in which the prince runs into a slave, Deok-chil, and disguises himself as the slave and ventures outside the palace. In the process, he begins to understand how people outside the palace walls are living, often in extreme poverty. 

“If the film was based on a fictional king, it would have been easier for me to exaggerate the comic elements, but because the king is a real historical figure I had to control the comedy and also portray the journey of how the prince becomes the wise king,” said the director.



In contrast to the self-discovery theme of “I Am a King,” “The Grand Heist” is similar to group action blockbusters like the U.S. hit “Ocean’s Eleven” series. In “The Grand Heist” a gang of 11 thieves tries to steal ice blocks from the royal storage, Seobingo, during the last years of the Joseon era. Without a refrigeration system, ice during those days is said to have been even more valuable than gold. Cha Tae-hyun, famous for playing goofy, lovable comic leads including in his breakout film “My Sassy Girl” (2001), is Lee Duk-moo, a laid-back bookseller and bastard son of the royal court’s cleaning official who somehow becomes the leader of the heist group. 

Like Jang of “I Am a King,” the director of “The Grand Heist,” Kim Ju-ho, said he was particularly cautious in bringing modern cinematic elements to the film because it is based in the past. “Action films like ‘Ocean’s Eleven’ center on people steeling money and disappearing, but in a historic film, I thought it was more appropriate to add other pretexts and moral elements so as to differentiate it from other films,” said Kim, during a press conference last month.

Meanwhile, Cha said he was glad to play another comic lead role.

“I think my strength as an actor lies in the comic genre,” he said.

“And I think the public still wants comedy from me more than anything else.”

Korean Movies Find New Recipe for Success
ChosunIlbo



A series of successful domestic films at the box office hints at the changing face of Korean cinema. "The Thieves," which was released on July 25 amid great expectations with its heist movie plot and star-studded cast, has attracted almost 10 million viewers in only three weeks. "The Grand Heist" also drew one million moviegoers earlier this week despite its lack of rave reviews. 

The trend has been developing since the start of the year. Domestic films drew 44.17 million spectators in the first half of 2012, up 34.6 percent from the same period last year. This even beats the previous record high of 41.48 million viewers in the first half of 2006. 

In total, 18 Korean movies have now drawn more than one million viewers each so far this year, compared to 16 over the same period in 2011 and 13 in 2010. So what is the driving force behind this trend? 

◆ Diversification of Genres 

Local moviegoers used to prefer comedies or action movies, but these days their interest is spread more evenly across the genres. Although romantic comedies and melodramas were in the past regarded as unlikely to score a huge hit at box office here, "All About My Wife" and "Architecture 101" attracted more than four million viewers each this year. Meanwhile, "Unbowed," a courtroom drama based on a true-life incident, proved its commercial success by selling 3.42 million tickets. 

"Ten years ago, moviegoers were divided into two distinct types: people who like Hollywood movies, and those who like Korean movies. But as many people have become familiar with a variety of genres of American movies and dramas, local audiences tend to prefer domestic films that contain elements of Hollywood genres tailored to Korean tastes," said film critic Jeon Chan-il. 

◆ Star-Studded Casts

"The Thieves" has 10 lead actors, while "The Grand Heist" has 11. Even melodramas and romantic comedies, which used to rely on one leading actor and actress, now often have three or four actors in starring roles. At the same time, it is increasingly common to see major stars play supporting roles. 

"In the past, many viewers were attracted to movies based on their plot, but now they like character-oriented movies with a good story. Movies that have many leading characters or supporting characters with distinct personalities are also getting popular," said Kim Ho-sung, CEO of production company REALise. 

◆ Mature Audiences

As producers have raised the target age group from teenagers and people in their 20s to those in their 30s and over, movies are naturally attracting a more diverse audience. 

According to ticket sales data for "The Thieves" compiled by Korea's largest movie site Maxmovie, 26 percent of those who watched the movie were in their 20s, 40 percent were in their 30s and 31 percent in their 40s. In the case of "Architecture 101," 24 percent were in their 20s, 45 percent in their 30s and 28 percent in their 40s. The bulk of viewers who went to see "All About My Wife," or 45 percent, were also in their 30s.

The combined number of spectators in their 30s and 40s now far outstrips those in their 20s, and this demographic can be seen as playing a leading role in Korean movies' raging success at home.

Korean movies dominate box office
By Claire Lee The Korea Herald

Market share of homegrown movies rises to nearly 80 percent over the weekend

Korea’s homegrown films are doing better than ever at the box office, with its market share rising to nearly 80 percent in the past weekend.

The top four movies at the box office from Aug. 26 to 27 were local films, according to the Korean Film Council. 

The films are director Kim Hwi’s thriller “Neighbors”; Kim Joo-ho’s period comedy “The Grand Heist”; Choi Dong-Hun’s star-studded blockbuster “The Thieves”; and Kim Dong-won’s action drama “R2B: Return to Base.”


“Neighbors ” (Lotte Entertainment)


“The Thieves”(1st Look)

Korean films’ sweeping performance started off with “The Thieves,” which became the third best-selling Korean film of all time, beating 2002 drama “Taegukgi” as of Aug. 15. It drew more than 12,095,094 viewers as of Saturday, according the Korean Film Council data. It ranked third at the box office in the past weekend.

Kim Joo-ho’s period drama “The Grand Heist,” on the other hand, drew 4 million viewers in just 19 days after its release, becoming the seventh homegrown movie to achieve the feat so far this year. 

Kim Hwi’s thriller “Neighbors,” which opened last week, drew 1 million viewers in the first five days after the release, topping the box office chart during the weekend.

The homegrown films’ market share rose to 77.2 percent during the past weekend, from 57.7 percent recorded last month. 


“The Grand Heist” (1st Look)

The market share of the local films hit 60.4 percent in 2006, with the box-office triumph of Bong Joon-ho’s “The Host.” The film, which drew 13,020,000 viewers, remains the bestselling locally made film of all time in Korea’s film history. 

Local movies’ market share dropped to 42.1 percent in 2008, rose to 48.8 percent in 2009, and but dropped to 46.5 percent again in 2010.

Many small- to mid-scale local films drew a significant number of viewers ― each about 4 million ― in the first half of this year, including “Architecture 101,” “Dancing Queen,” “All About My Wife,” “Unbowed” and “Deranged.” 

These movies, diverse in genre and style, contributed to the increase in the market share of the homegrown movies in the first half of the year, according to the Korean Film Council.

More highly anticipated Korean films are to be released soon. CJ Entertainment, one of the biggest film producers in Korea, is scheduled to release its highly anticipated period drama “Masquerade,” which stars mega hallyu star Lee Byung-hun, next month. Kim Ki-duk’s “Pieta,” competing at the Venice Film Festival, as well as Sin Jeong-won’s drama “Ghost Sweepers” starring Kim Su-ro and Lee Je-hoon, are also to be released next month.
