*** Kim Tae Hee said during the presscon, “Though thriller is an unfamiliar genre for me, the storyline was exciting. When I finished reading the script for the first episode, I was eager to find out what would happen next. Simply imagining myself playing Joo-ran made my heart race. I feel that our series is a well-made project that will satisfy thriller fans' passion for suspense. I didn’t feel a lot of pressure with viewership, but I hope the series will be enjoyed by as many people as possible.” The director said, “‘Lies Hidden in My Garden’ did not have a lot of dialogue. The characters’ psychological state and emotions were expressed through texts in many cases. So I tried to explain and present the characters with various camera angles, shots with symbolic props, and show their facial expressions, among others.” 

The drama pre-sold its distribution rights to 190 countries before its premiere. “Lies Hidden in My Garden” premieres at 10 p.m. on Monday, with new episodes to be released on Mondays and Tuesdays on local cable channel ENA and on global streaming platforms Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu Japan, iQIYI and Rakuten Viki.

*** “Lies Hidden In My Garden” premiered on Prime Video on June 19. Manila Bulletin asked Kim Tae-hee about starring in the new drama project.  "It was truly an honor and enjoyable experience for me because I was able to work with a director that I've always been a fan of as well as the members of the cast who I've been a long time fan of,” she said. Kim Tae-hee added, “I was nervous and anxious at the initial script reading. However when I was on set, thanks to all the cast members and the director, I felt very comfortable and at home as I performed. When I wrap up a particular project, I tend to feel a little bittersweet. However, this time the bitterness lingered for a little bit more because I almost ached for the character Joo-ran or I felt like I almost missed her. So there was a time when the shoot wrapped up, I felt a little lonely and empty inside.” During the interview, Kim Tae-hee was also asked about starring in a thriller genre.  “I think it was not so much that I was drawn to the genre that is thriller. Thriller genre is not something I’m usually drawn to or something that I watch often. It’s actually a genre and character that’s also something that I’m unfamiliar with,” she said. Kim Tae-hee added, ““However, when I read the script, I was really intrigued and after reading episode 1, I wanted to know what episode 2 was going to be about. So it really tapped into my curiosity and I also wanted to learn more about the character Joo-ran. She could be someone who could be rather strange to some other people but when you look at the history that she had gone through, including her childhood and her relationship with her husband, I thought she could be a character that I could truly understand and relate to. I think I was more immersed into the character and I think I was intuitively drawn to the story.”

“Lies Hidden In My Garden” is now streaming on Prime Video.

On the afternoon of June 19th, the press conference of Genie TV’s original series “Lies Hidden in My Garden” (written by Gianni, directed by Jung Ji Hyun) was held at Stanford Hotel Grand Ballroom in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul. Actors Kim Tae Hee, Lim Ji Yeon, Kim Sung Oh, Choi Jae Rim and director Jung Ji Hyun attended the event.

 

Prior to Kim Tae Hee, her husband Rain also worked with Lim Ji Yeon as a married couple through MBC’s “Welcome 2 Life” in 2019. When asked if she had heard any advice from Rain related to Lim Ji Yeon, Kim Tae Hee carefully said, “Actually, we rarely talk about work.“

*** On June 19th, Kim Tae Hee appeared as a guest on SBS Power FM’s “Park Ha Sun’s Cinetown”, a live radio broadcast. Here, she said, “It’s almost my first time doing a live radio broadcast. I have a memory of doing it when I was a rookie, but it’s been a long time.” During this same radio appearance, Kim Tae Hee made a clarification regarding her “mother phone case”, which has been drawing attention. In particular, she explained, “It’s not the leather case that mothers often use. Originally, it was an elegant light lemon color. The staff gave me this phone case during the filming of the drama ‘Hi Bye, Mama!’ and I thought it was very pretty, so I often used it. However, at that time, since COVID-19 was prevalent, I had to clean it every day with disinfectant, which caused the color to change”. Previously, on her appearance on the YouTube channel “MMTG”, Kim Tae Hee mentioned her phone case as well.

*** The June 19th broadcast of SBS PowerFM’s “Park Ha Sun’s Cinetown” featured Kim Tae Hee as a guest. When asked if it was her first meeting with Park Ha Sun, Kim Tae Hee said, “It’s not our first time. I met her as parents at a talent show at our children’s kindergarten. I worked with Ryu Soo Young oppa in the drama ‘My Princess’, so we became close to each other. It was great to meet her again after a long time”. Park Ha Sun smiled and replied, “I heard many good stories about you.” One radio listener asked Kim Tae Hee, “If someone you love suddenly turned into a cockroach one day, how would you feel?”. Kim Tae Hee expressed her affection for her child, saying, “It would be like a scene from a thriller, and I would have to redecorate the house with a garden and raise them well”. Kim Tae Hee also talked about her chemistry with Kim Sung Oh, who portrays Moon Joo Ran’s husband Park Jae Ho. She said, “Actors often worry about scenes involving physical contact or fights because they might accidentally hurt each other, but senior actor Kim Sung Oh is really fearless”, adding “Even when his face didn’t appear on camera, he immersed himself in the scene, allowing me to feel the genuine emotions of the drama and react accordingly. Our on-screen chemistry was great, but sometimes I went home with bleeding wounds and bruises on my arms. When the camera started rolling, Kim Sung Oh’s gaze immediately changed. He showed a rough image during the filming, but as soon the director said ‘Cut’, he would become so friendly and love to engage in personal conversations.”

*** I'm glad that "Lies Hidden In My Garden" is receiving rave reviews. The drama  aired its first episode on June 19th. It opened strong to audiences, with many commenting positive reviews after the show’s first episode. It’s fun, but it is realistically scary. It is a thriller, and each frame seems to be shot with purpose. It was chilling. The story isn’t predictable and there isn’t much dialogue, but it makes you anxious.

Bodyfriend launches massage chair with body composition analyzer

 

South Korea’s leading massage chair maker Bodyfriend on Thursday launched a new massage chair, called Davinci, which analyzes users’ body composition and offers more customized massage options.

 

“It has been widely accepted that massage chairs are mostly used by older generations. But the newly launched massage chair featuring bioelectrical impedance analysis is expected to appeal to younger generations,” Bodyfriend Chief Marketing Officer Song Seung-ho said during the launch event held in Seoul.

 

Bioelectrical impedance analysis is a method that estimates the muscle and body fat composition one has by running a small electrical current through the body.

 

Based on its own analysis, the massage chair categorizes users’ body types into nine different categories and provides three different types of massage options, according to the company.

 

The new massage chair also can keep records of users’ body composition, allowing them to monitor changes in their bodies on a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis.

 

The chair, equipped with an 8.7-inch mobile tablet, also allows users to check the body composition data and make adjustments to the chair options.

 

Bodyfriend said it is the first time for a massage chair maker to add body composition analysis to their massage chair products.

 

To appeal to a wider customer base, Davinci has also adopted a supercar design in collaboration with Italdesign, an Italian design and engineering company.

 

“If Bodyfriend’s Phantom Medical Care massage chair (its predecessor) was developed for treating minor neck muscle pain, Davinci has been made to target people who are more physically active,” said Cho Soo-hyun, executive director of Bodyfriend Healthcare Medical R&D Center.

 

The company aims to sell 10,000 units of the Davinci chair per year, which will make up almost 10 percent of its total revenue.

 

Song, the marketing chief, also hinted at a strategic shift in the company’s overseas expansion.

 

“Over the past five to six years, Bodyfriend had sought to expand its presence in overseas markets by opening new stores directly, but it has been a slow process. In the future, we will work together with local dealers to accelerate our business expansion,” he said.

*** On June 19th, a “Shorts” video titled “Who has ever drunk the coffee Kim Tae Hee bought? Me” was uploaded on the YouTube channel “MMTG”. She appeared on the show on June 15th. At that time, she was the first to be eliminated while playing “ventriloquism game” with Choi Jae Rim, Kim Sung Oh and Jaejae for coffee. Jaejae, the host said “Please buy us coffee” and Kim Tae Hee replied coolly, “Okay.” Afterwards, she actually sent to the set of the show coffee and egg tarts for the staff. Jaejae was touched, saying, “What’s this all about? Did Tae Hee really send this? I needed caffeine, thank you very much.“ The production team asked Jaejae, who got on the elevator while drinking coffee, “Does it taste different?” Jaejae boasted, “Of course. It’s coffee from Tae Hee.” Holding a box of egg tarts, Jaejae thanked Kim Tae Hee, “Portuguese egg tarts? Wow, how do you know that I haven’t been to Portugal? Tae Hee, who keeps her words, is the best.”

*** Kim Tae Hee recently revealed her passion for acting in her interview with Arena Homme Korea. She expressed, “I want to be an actress who leaves people curious about my next project.” Making her grand comeback in the GenieTV original series "Lies Hidden in My Garden," she took her first plunge into the thriller genre. Describing her experience, she said, “Lies Hidden in My Garden and my character Moon Ju Ran were completely new territory for me. I did not approach the role with the mindset of showcasing a completely different Kim Tae Hee. I did not meticulously calculate my performance, instead, I simply thought, ‘I am Ju Ran’.” Having been a part of numerous box office hits from Stairway to Heaven to Yong Pal, she considered Grand Prix as a turning point in her acting career. “Grand Prix served as the first major milestone in my acting life,” she shared. “It was the first time I met senior actor Yang Dong Geun. From him, I learned the depth of character immersion, different interpretations and expressions of the same scene, and what elements are essential to bring a scene to life,” she added, revealing her admiration. As for her future, she aspires to be an actress whose upcoming work still piques curiosity even 20 years down the line. “If I can still act 20 years from now, it would be a true blessing. I also desire to become a more approachable actor. Those who know me are aware that I’m a very down-to-earth, ordinary person, but the viewers may not know this. I

 

hope to come across as a more relatable, humane figure, both on and off screen,” she concluded.
