Director Lee Jae-yong, Kang Dong-won, Song Hye-kyo and Jo Sung-mok had great time with audiences of the movie ‘My Palpitating Life’ at Wangshimni CGV in Seongdong District, Seoul on September 13.
They talked about behind-the-scene stories with audiences. Audiences also asked questions about film.
When an audience who watched the movie four times asked if real pictures of Kang Dong-won and Song Hye-kyo’s childhood were used in the movie, director said, “For the family picture, we used composed picture. But, the picture of Kang Dong-won in Taekwondo uniform for the scene, which Kang Dong-won meets his father again, was real.”
◆ Kang Dong-won – father ‘Dae-soo’: “There was no reason for me not to appear in this movie.”
Kang Dong-won said, “I really wanted to act ‘Dae-soo’ and had confidence in this character. I also wanted to work with director Lee Jae-yong. My age isn’t awkward to play father anymore.”
He also added, “I thought this kind of movie should emerge while most of films these days are stimulating and entertaining. Even though this film is not as popular as I thought it would be, I am still glad that I can show this great movie to people.”
Kang Dong-won mentioned about deleted scenes of the film. He said, “Dae-soo goes to an aspirant to a film director who deceived ‘Ah-reum,’ and beats him. Then, he asks him to buy Soju (Korean liquor) for him. But, Dae-soo noticed that he doesn’t walk well, then he went to buy Soju by himself. I think this scene represents how nice Dae-soo is. I think Dae-soo is a person who can do anything for his family.”
When asked which actress he wants to work with for next film, he said, “There is no great movies for actresses these days. Scenarios are mostly for actors, too. I, as a person who works in film industry, personally hope many great films that actresses can receive attention to be released. Imagine how great it will be if a lot of movies starring beautiful actresses open,” causing a round of laughter.

◆ Song Hye-kyo- Mother ‘Mi-ra’: “I sometimes miss the time when I was in my twenties.”
Song Hye-kyo once said that her mother was the role model in terms of acting ‘Mi-ra.’
When asked what her mother said to her after watching the movie, she said, “My mom watched this film at the VIP screening. I haven’t talked about this movie since then because I was too busy. She said this film reminded her of the time when she was young.”
One of audiences went to the same high school with Song Hye-kyo. Song Hye-kyo said to her, “My school is on the hill. So, my legs became thicker. Please take care of your legs. (she laughed)”
◆ Jo Sung-mok- Son ‘Ah-reum’ : “Here comes a child actor with great acting talent!”
Jo Sung-mok, who played 17 year- old ‘Ah-reum’ who suffers from progeria, was very good at speaking.
He said, “I thought how come I could be a son of this young Song Hye-kyo at first. Besides, my father was Kang Dong-won. (People laughed) I was very glad and worried at the same time.”
He also stated, “I shaved my head for this film. Kang Dong-won bought me a cap so that I could wear it on my way to school. I still wear it, too.”
He added, “Song Hye-kyo was like my mom during shooting. Every time I couldn’t eat well because of special effect makeup, she took good care of me like mom.”


◆ This moment! ‘Audiences’ heart palpitated when they asked actors questions.’
Lastly, 5 audiences had chance to be given autographed posters.
Young students had luck to be given those posters. They said, “I have never been happier in my life! I am so glad that I asked a question.” Other audiences all looked jealous of them.
Film ‘My Palpitating Life’ has drawn 1,500,000 audiences.

Kang Dong Won supporting his good friend SG Wannabe's Kim Jin Ho in his MV film set \:D/ 
I am guessing this is the same day as MPL's fan meet judging by his clothes. Glad he was able to support his friend despite his busy schedule.

@RoseSyou are welcomeIts really great to get translations of their interviews...


7 K-Drama Kings and their Successors
The Shapeshifter
Kang Dong Won ('Temptation of Wolves', 'Kundo: Age of the Rampant') has the look of a sly fox, but is actually known to play rather serious, intense roles. A man that loves the big screen, Kang Dong Won doesn't settle for roles that don't surprise and intrigue. Convicted murderer? Done. Kidnapper? Done. Swordmaster, hallucinator, demon slayer? Done, done, and done. What's next?

Joo Won ('King of Baking, Kim Tak Goo', 'Good Doctor') not only looks strikingly similar to Kang Dong Won but also has a penchant for taking on difficult, often intense roles. A spy, a doctor with developmental disorder, a Korean police officer working under the Japanese colonial rule, there's just no end to whatever acting challenges this man takes on next!

kim jin ho came to mbl premiere if im not mistaken, love kdw being loyal and supportive to his friends...and love his portraying as daesoo, the loyal and caring husband and father...kdw and papa daesoo are the best...

[Guest adikkeluangman]

Can I know how KDW and KJH be friends? I know that JH is much younger than KDW like 5 years. Is it through army or school? I'm also a JH fan and it so rare to see him with other people especially with celebrity since SG Wannabe in hiatus. He basically only released his music and seldom appeared on TV to perform. All other news of him about his music. 
Hope their friendship will be forever beautiful like this. OK, maybe at a glance KDW looks like Chae Dong Ha the deceased member of SG Wannabe. JH and DH are close like brothers.
Here the original tweet from KJH.

'두근두근 내인생' 개봉으로 바쁜와중에 '사람들' mv현장에 배우 동원이형이 찾아왔습니다 좋은 의미로 만든음악이라며 응원차 맛있는 간식을 두손 가득, 촬영장에 있던 학생들과 스탭들에게 소중한 추억을 만들어줬습니다http://t.co/8qQtFPHHMI
