Han Ji Min: Thirst for different roles, through movies. One reason, I chose it for one scene with Lee Byung Hun

 

Source: Naver

 

Just to appreciate Lee Byung Hun and Han Ji Min, this article is Han Ji Min talking about BH's acting. (this article is mainly for HJM and her movie Miss Baek)

 

 

Her quote on BH and his acting.

 

"For example, I did the movie "Keys to the Heart" because I was curious about one scene where I was to act face to face Lee Byung Hun sunbae. I had different reasons for all the movies I did"

 

So the reporter had to ask actor Lee Byung Hun's acting. Her quote again: "During the movie 'The Age of Shadows', he was in for special cameo, not with me, but just him being there in person made (me?us) focused. We joked that "He got it all just as a special cameo". He seems to be natural born actor. He must be working hard, but to us, he seems to be laughing and chatting during the rest time, but he seems to be able to immerse himself right on shooting. Gong Yoo said he's going (for sightseeing in KR but not sure how to translate) to watch the scene where Lee Byung Hun sunbae and Song Gang Ho sunbae together. That tells you even the actors/actresses wanted to watch those scenes. There are also so many scenes where Lee Byung Hun sunbaenim saved with his ad libs in Keys to the Heart."

 

The movie Miss Baek is currently playing in Korean theaters. Reviews are wonderful and especially, actress Han Ji Min is well praised. It's considered indie movie? Her agency, BH Entertainment is on credit as co-production company, from the article I read.

[SBS Star] Han Ji Min Speaks up About Child Abuse at 'London East Asia Film Festival 2018'

입력 2018.10.29 17:08

 

Actress Han Ji Min draw the attention of the public with a powerful speech.

On October 26 (local time), Han Ji Min won the Best Actress award at 'London East Asia Film Festival 2018' for her latest film 'Miss Baek'.
When Han Ji Min went up to the stage to deliver her speech, everyone looked quite surprised since she not only looked absolutely stunning in her purple dress, but also, she prepared her speech in English.
Han Ji Min said, "Thank you. As you all know, our film 'Miss Baek' addressed the issue of child abuse."

She added, "Under no circumstances, I believe that no child should go through these types of tragedy. I just hope that all the children around the world could live a happy life."
 
After her moving speech, the audience supported her with a big applause.

In the acclaimed film 'Miss Baek', Han Ji Min played the role of 'Baek Sang-a', a woman who became a convict in the process of protecting herself.
After being abandoned by her mother, an alcoholic, and almost became the victim of sexual assault, 'Baek Sang-a' decided to alienate herself from the world and give herself a new name 'Miss Baek' to escape from her past.
However, the minute she meets 'Kim Ji-eun', a little girl who reminds her of her young self and a victim of child abuse, she decides to fight back and braces herself to protect and save her from this cruel world.

Meanwhile, 'Miss Baek' attracted more than 640,000 moviegoers in a little over two weeks.

MISS BAEK to Compete at Tokyo IFF
YI Seung-jun’s CROSSING BEYOND also Invited to Japan

 

by Pierce Conran KoBiz // 31st Tokyo IFF 2018

 

 

Two Korean films will screen at this year’s Tokyo International Film Festival. LEE Ji-won’s new indie drama Miss Baek will compete in the ‘Asian Future’ section, while YI Seung-jun’s latest documentary Crossing Beyond will be featured in the ‘Special Program’.

 

Miss Baek, the debut work of LEE Ji-won, features The Age of Shadows (2016) actress HAN Ji-min as a hardened woman who takes a young girl who is the victim of domestic violence under her wing when she recognizes herself in her. The film opened in Korea on October 11 and has proven to be a major hit for a low-budget title, having amassed 287,000 viewers (USD 2.15 million) in just seven days.

 

The documentary Crossing Beyond is snapshot of a diverse group of athletes during this year’s Pyeongchang Winter Olympics in South Korea. The film is the third work by Director YI, who has drawn acclaim for his works Planet of Snail (2012) and Wind on the Moon (2016).

 

His previous works, which both premiered at the International Documentary Festival Amsterdam (IDFA), examined the lives and challenges of disabled people in South Korea. YI’s latest had its world premiere at the Busan International Film Festival in the ‘Wide Angle’ section earlier this month.

 

This year’s TIFF will take place from October 25 until November 3.

Not every actor can become a star and not every star can become an actor. Han ji min is a star and became an actor Can't wait for her future projects

Another review of Miss Baek

 

Miss Baek review: The noir film explodes out of South Korea, with a riveting performance from Han Ji-min

 

Narjas Zatat

Miss Baek is a story of the women who break you, and the women who make you. Nestled in between all the different ways patriarchy acts on a woman, South Korea’s Miss Baek is the tentative, heart-warming story of a horribly abused child and her journey towards justice – with the help of a jaded masseuse.

Miss Baek is Lee Ji-won’s first feature and it’s already making waves both in its home country in South Korea and beyond. It received double the box office gross of A Star is Born during both films’ opening weekend on 11 October and ventured west in its European premier for the first time as a screening at the London East Asian Film Festival (LEAFF).

The noir feature begins with gritty detective Jang-sup (Lee Hi-joon) walking through Seoul’s freezing streets, pushing past police and red tape in a run-down set of flats where he finds the month-old decomposed remains of an old woman, which he soon learns is the mother of his girlfriend, Baek.

Men are little more than caricatures, at best, and absentees at worst in a feature that boils down to the tale of two women and their struggle for the soul of a little girl. Baek, who works as a masseuse and washes cars constantly spurns the affections of her boyfriend, rejecting hundreds of proposals in a way that seems callous – until viewers learn that her mother abused her intensely throughout her childhood, and she fought off an attempted rapist in her teen years, only to be failed by the law when she needed it the most.

 

One night she comes across a bedraggled little girl called Ji-eun, (Kim Si-ah) whose body is filled with cuts and bruises, and after feeling bad and taking her to a food tent, she meets a seemingly well-meaning and warm stepmother, Mi-kyung (Kwon So-hyun).

(Picture: Lotte Cinema) 

Viewers soon discover that Mi-kyung’s warmth is nothing more than an act, and behind her neat clothes and smiling face is a vicious woman who beats Ji-eun and forces her to reside in the bathroom with the air conditioner on, hoping to slowly kill her whilst her father (Baek Soo-jang), also an abuse victim, ignores it all and attempts to numb himself through an addiction to computer games.

Han Ji-min swaps her glitzy drama roles for the gritty anti-hero in a portrayal at odds with her usual, quirky characters. Her depiction of Baek is both quiet and loud, both calm and raging – a mesmerising presence on screen. It comes as little surprise that Ji-min won best actress award at LEAFF, as well as best actress for the role at the 38^th Korean Association Film Critics Awards.

 

Han ji min's hard work and sincerity really pays off

 

[richelle]

I think han ji min is nominated for best actress as well as her co actor and director in the 39th Blue Dragon Awards. I don't want my hopes up but i really wish all of them will win. They truly deserve it for a female centered film. So excited

Why is it still locked?

 

@richelle I wasn't sure I could see any clear News.
But I'm glad it's official.
I'm excited about Han Ji Min and Nam Joo Hyuk.
I hope this drama will be the best job of Nam Joo Hyuk.
12 chapters are too little for me.
So I don't want to wait too long for Han Ji Min's next drama.
If possible, his should always have a new drama.
And she shouldn't let me miss her anymore.
I'il always be happy watching him.

Hi guys!  I'm a fan of Son Ho Jun.  Thought you would be interested that there's an article about Han Ji Min's new drama and Son Ho Jun is one of the cast!   The English translation is not that good so I'm not sure if SHJ is confirmed or if he just got an offer.  Here's the link (hope somebody can translate):

https://m.entertain.naver.com/read?oid=213&aid=0001067611

 

Glad I checked this thread and found out right away that the drama does have a thread already (although it is locked).  The synopsis posted seems interesting (it wasn't clear in the article translation).  I'm wondering what SHJ's role in it would be.   I find it kinda ironic that SHJ and HJM would be together in 1 show coming from a drama with a time-travel theme (Go Back Couple & Familiar Wife). 

 

[richelle]

@kyutroguewelcome to the thread. I like Son ho jun in go back couple. It will be interesting that both shj and hjm acted in time travel dramas recently. The drama dazzling is pre produced so they are already shooting. I also have seen that 9 episodes are already ready. As per nei the drama will follow sky castle and scheduled fri-sat in jtbc

I'm surprised they already have 9 episodes done when I haven't even heard of this show before (unlike other upcoming dramas which have articles or vids on YT).  They are doing pretty good keeping the show a secret.   I hope the thread would be open so we could talk about it there.

Hmmm....is it possible that SHJ is only doing a cameo?  Since you say that Dazzling already had 9 episodes done and SHJ is still shooting for Terius Behind Me.  Unless he is shooting them at the same time?  I have seen a fancam of Hojun, but that clip never aired on Terius.

[tok-soompi]

Revisit Ji Min UK fun time.  I think it is extremely fun as you can simply walk around with less people recognising you.
