I'm so happy there's a HJW thread!!! Being only 28 yrs old... he sure is building up an impressive movie career, quality roles keep coming his way which showcases his talent .... I'm really interested in his movie Never Forever..... Please keep this thread alive.. hope someone will make updates on his upcoming projects...

[Guest inez]

Thanks myownsecretmind, oink, bruhilda, rubie n everybody for infos n updates on Ha Jeong Woo!..I saw 'Time' and already ordered 'The Unforgiven' ..(finally in stock..). He's good in 'Time'..can understand why the women are all hots for him in that movie..

Yes, i cannot wait for 'Never Forever ' too!

[Guest coconut86]

he definitely caught my eye, too, in "Time." Sadly, I didn't watch "HIT" yet...I heard the drama was pretty entertaining.

I'm pretty sure he was in "Madeleine", as well with Shin Minah and Jo In Sung. He came out as Shin Minah's old boyfriend who got her pregnant. He doesn't ahve a huge role, but you see him in some scenes.

[myownsecretmind]

Is Never Forever already hit theater in Korea? How's the respond? hit the box office?

[Guest inez]

He attended Banana Republic Fashion Show...

oh yeah i am watching 'Lovers in Prague' again (coz they're screening over ch.55 cable tv here..)

hehehe..hot bodyguard/driver guy..

Hi myownsecretmind..i dont know if 'Never Forever' hit the screens in Seoul yet..but i am waiting to order it online too..

Gina KIM's US-Korean co-production Never Forever has won the Jury Prize at the 33rd Deauville American Film Festival.

Held in Deauville, France, the annual event is considered a key annual showcase of American cinema, and is well attended by top U.S. directors and stars. The Jury Award is the second-highest honor presented at the festival.

Never Forever tells the story of an upper class Caucasian woman living in New York (played by Vera Farmiga) who is unable to conceive a child with her Korean-American husband. After her husband attempts suicide, she contacts a young illegal immigrant from Korea (played by HA Jung-woo) in an effort to conceive a child.

The film first premiered in competition at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival in January, and it was subsequently released in Korea in June. It was co-produced by the Korean company Now Film.

Gina KIM previously directed the feature Invisible Light, which premiered at the Locarno International Film Festival, and the documentary Gina Kim's Video Diary which screened at many international festivals including Berlin.

Ha Jung-woo

The son of veteran actor Kim Yong-gun, Ha Jung-woo graduated from Chung-Ang University and then worked for several years in the theater before making a name for himself in movies and TV. After a couple of forgettable roles in forgettable movies, Ha's career took off thanks to a major part in Yoon Jong-bin's award-winning "The Unforgiven" (2005). He followed that with a supporting role in the hit TV series "Lovers in Prague" and two Kim Ki-duk films, "Time" (2006) and "Breath" (2007). This year has cemented his reputation with a successful TV series, "H.I.T.," and an English- language part in Gina Kim's "Never Forever," which won the Jury Award at the 33rd Deauville American Film Festival.
