[Guest ek10]

Hello!!!

I have just recently became a fan of kang dong won...ur probably wondering how it took me this long to watch one of his movies which was Temptation of the wolves...to be honest i have no idea why it took me soo long!

I'm not too sure if me liking him will die down eventually but right now!! *squeal* love him!! If you have any articles that you want me to translate of him, I am willing to (I am Korean, however I can only understand Korean not speak which is bad when i talk to my relatives lol)..but right now I've been procrastinating a lot and I kind of have to study which sucks..T.T

ooh i watched 'Too beautiful to lie' but I still prefer 'Temptation of the wolves'..I really love him in those romance, comedy sort of movies or dramas...

now i see why practically all of the female celebrities like him..LOL

everytime i see a picture of KDW and Song Kang Ho, it never ceases to amaze me how small KDW's face is in comparison. but they look pretty close behind the scenes and i love both actors. although with KDW, it's a different kind of love hehe.

[Guest skyrider36]

Hi skyrider36 welcome to the thread !

Duelist remains my all time favourite Korean movie and KDW in that movie was just, well, breathtaking kekeke. How can a man be both pretty and manly at the same time I think he perfectly portrayed that role.

Korean box office sets all-time high during first half of 2010

Reporter : Lynn Kim Editor : Jessica Kim

July 7 2010

The Korean box office set a new record during the first half of 2010 with ticket sales hitting an all-time high, according to data by the Korean Film Council (KOFIC).

KOFIC's official report on the local film industry, released Tuesday, stated that Korean moviegoers paid out approximately 547 billion won for theater tickets during the first six months of the year, up 14.6 percent from the same period last year.

However, at nearly 70 million, the total number of viewers dropped by 3.9 percent, or 2.8 million persons, from the previous year. The sales jump despite the smaller number of audience appears to have been due to the increase in ticket sales, especially for 3D-film releases, most notably James Cameron's smash hit "Avatar."

The month of January saw the biggest number of viewers, thanks to the dual success of "Avatar" and Korean fantasy action pic "WOOCHI." The two films brought in over nine million moviegoers from around the country in January alone.

Except for in February and June, domestic films trailed Hollywood pics in terms of their presence on the local box office. The total number of people who watched Korean films around the country clocked in at close to 30 million, down 7.3 percent from the previous year, but ticket sales were up 2.1 percent, thanks to higher ticket prices.

The biggest commercial hit on the Korean box office during the first half turned out to be Hollywood 3D blockbuster "Avatar," which set several records in the country including the most-watched film of all-time and highest ticket sales (at 81.4 billion won).

The most-watched Korean film during the period was "Secret Reunion" with 5.42 million moviegoers, followed by "WOO CHI", "Harmony", "A Story of Bangja" and "The Housemaid."

Half the top ten most-watched movies during the period were distributed by major media company CJ Entertainment.

The upcoming movie line-up for the second half include Korean films "Moss", "I Saw The Devil", "The Man From Nowhere" as well as Hollywood pics "Shrek Forever After", "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse", "Inception" and "Salt."

Haven't see any polls about his physical attraction lately.. and now it's back. Well, 4th place is not that bad though it sounds a bit weird when he falls out of the top 3 rank (judging from his previous polls which always stay between 1st to 3rd place).

[Guest ek10]

Hey Guys!

Late reply, but thank you oceanluv, avinn and hantamthieu for the immensely warm welcome! lol!

What took me soo long you say? LOL! I can't believe it took me so long to realise how great kang dong won is. Before, I was more into English music,etc had no interest in anything Korean..lol I've never lived in Korea before so...that kind of explains it ^^..I got introduced into the whole Korean life due to my korean friends, who obviously listened to Korean music (and a bit of english music, might I say) but I guess you can say I'm becoming more Korean lol! I'm really surprised how many international people who are not from Korea know a hell of a lot about the Korean entertainment industry, more than me!

It's a pity that Kang Dong won doesn't have much activities, if he was this thread would be very busy

[oceanluv]

^

yeah, he is very busy for filming "Psychic" that's why he doesn't have much activities recently...

amy, don't worry abt the poll, his top 3 rank is back! hehe

DC inside gall surveyed for "Chadonam" (cool city man)

no.1 Lee min ho 23.2%

Hi..I bet if KDW would focus on doing tv series as well as movies, it would surely breaks the silence in here though some adverts would once in a while makes this thread busy a little.

I was wondering if he still hasn't complete his master degree yet and that could possibly be one of several reasons why his activities are kinda limited to certain projects only.

I can't believe it took me so long to realise how great kang dong won is. Before, I was more into English music,etc had no interest in anything Korean..lol I've never lived in Korea before so...that kind of explains it

Shall I say that you are being a little choosey Don't get me wrong anyway. We know for a fact that different person have diferent taste, perception and preference regardless of our origins. Lucky that the great KDW (and your other idols) have taken your breath away and taking you back to the Korean entertainment world .

Oceanluv,

Yay...he is back on the rank!! Thanks..

[Guest hantamthieu]

Hi ek10

It's understandable though, if you don't live in Korea and didn't have close connection with what's going on there then you wouldn't pay much attention.

And there must be something happen one day that lead you to things you never know before.

For me, that's the day I stumbled across the Duelist DVD for rent (I think for $2 keke). Wow, not sure if it's a mistake but that $2 ended up costing me a lot more than that LOL. I start listening to Kpop too and also found it quite interesting.

[Guest Smelly Tofu]

han tamthieu

same here it was the renting of duelist that cost me a fortune..and also the fact i got internet...I didn't get a network setup until i was 16 years old...pretty late in my year

[oceanluv]
