Kwon Sang Woo tore ligaments while filming for ‘Pain’

It was recently revealed that actor Kwon Sang Woo tore four ligaments in his ankle while filming for his new movie ironically titled, ‘Pain‘.

During an interview with Newsen, a representative from ‘Pain’ stated, “There was a scene in which Kwon Sang Woo had to jump off a rooftop and then again jump towards the director Kwak Kyung Taek, and it was in that particular scene that he injured his ankle. But he showed his fighting spirit as he did not complain and continued to work.”

He continued, “Sang Woo had to limp through the rest of the scenes and this limp actually seemed to suit his character of Nam Soon better so we modified the story accordingly. It looked more natural.”

Kwon Sang Woo admitted that his ankle was, “still not better” and that he was, “seeking medical treatment at the hospital.”

‘Pain’ is set to hit the big screen sometime in September and tells the love story between a man unable to feel any physical pain after being the only one of his family members to survive a tragic car accident and a woman to whom even the slightest amount of pain may be extremely fatal.

Kwon Sang Woo plays the role of ‘Nam Soon’ who lives a meaningless life after losing his family, and because the accident left him physically unable to feel pain- he takes on jobs that require him to abuse his body. Because he took on this kind of role, Kwon Sang Woo had to shoot many action-packed scenes.

He had previously injured his ankle before while filming ‘Into the Fire‘ and shortly after suffered another ankle injury while playing football, so his ankle was in poor shape going into ‘Pain’.

*** Thanks for sharing some stuffs here. Poor KSW....he was hurt again.....even this movie again couldn't escape troubles & accidents. I hope Daemul will also be a hit in Japan. I wish him good luck for his upcoming K-movie. I know he put all his hard work again in this project.

We love you!

10 Korean Dramas that Require Tissues

If you’ve watched those Korean dramas that aired especially in the early 2000’s, then you surely have noticed that there’s this particular theme that’s common in them. What is it you ask? Well, it’s the protagonists getting either cancer, leukemia or being involved in car accidents which causes them to get amnesia. Even though I’ve watched heaps of soap operas already, I still can’t help but cry whenever I watch dramas that have these kinds of plots. Anyway, here are 10 Korean Dramas that really requires a lot of tissues (for tears and runny nose haha) If ever you’ve not cried while watching any of the dramas listed, then you’re not human. (WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS)

1. Autumn Tale:

2. Winter Sonata

3. Summer Scent:

4. Spring Waltz :

5. Stairway To Heaven:

My link

Ahh, who would forget this drama? This was actually the first Korean soap I’ve ever watched but still remains to be my favorite heartbreaking drama. I can’t help but cry in each and every episode and you might have guessed it, my eyes were swollen the next day.

It revolves around Han Jung-suh (Choi Ji Woo) and her childhood friend, Cha Song-joo (Kwon Sang-woo). At a young age, Jung-suh lost his mother which made his father remarry. However, his father remarried a not so good woman. Jung-Suh was assaulted by both his stepmother and stepsister. Yes, I blame the evilness of both the stepmother and stepsister and the ignorance of the father(!!) I won’t tell much about the synopsis of this drama because I want you to watch this(if you still haven’t) or else, your totally missing out!

6. Stained Glass:

7. Snow Queen:

8. King of Baking: Kim Tak Goo:

9. Tree Of Heaven:

10. 49 Days:

What Korean dramas broke your heart into pieces? Share your thoughts and experiences below!

Kwon Sang Woo talks about his acting for ‘Vogue’

Actor Kwon Sang Woo recently participated in a dark photoshoot with ‘Vogue‘ magazine along with an interview discussing the past 10 years of his career.

The “keyword” for the photoshoot was ‘indifference’ in the face of fear or pain, which was expressed in the dark, dreary atmosphere of the scenery.  In his interview, Kwon Sang Woo delved in the topic of his lifestyle as an actor and human being, as well as his future plans.

On his acting, he commented, “Actors like Hwang Jung Min and Lee Byung Hun are all fantastic actors.  I acknowledge that my acting is somewhat lacking compared to them, but I think it’s because I have my own charms that I’ve been met with my own fair share of success.”

On his family and three year old son, he said, “I like working hard for my family.  I enjoy the prospect of having to take care of someone.”

Kwon Sang Woo talks about enduring hardships for his new movie, ‘Pain’ and working with Jackie Chan

With his upcoming film, ‘Pain‘, ready to hit theaters on September 8th, actor Kwon Sang Woorecently sat down for an interview with Star News to talk about his role as well as the hardships he endured for the movie.

Check it out below!

Q. “You’re currently awaiting the release of your new film.  How do you feel?”

“I think this will be the first time where I’m showing a new side of myself. I hope that it’ll become a film where viewers won’t think awkward of this new side, but rather think to themselves, ‘He had this image to himself all along as well.’ Actors can seem like only one component of what makes up a film, but this movie in particular is based off of the emotions of a character named ‘Nam Soon’. I think that if the film does well, I’ll be praised, if not, I’ll be met with heavy criticism. That’s why I’m as greedy as ever. I want to hurry and meet with the viewers and press at the movie’s conference.”

Q. “Why is the title ‘Pain’?”

“Doesn’t the title just exude a certain feel? I was really in pain through the movie. Aside from the fact that I was constantly being beat up, I really found myself connecting to each scene. I sometimes choked up with tears while looking back at some of the scenes I had completed. I want that pain to be delivered through the scenes.”

Q. “You play a character that doesn’t feel any pain.”

“I’m good at holding in pain.  I’ve been like that since I was a student and even while filming for movies. I’ve been beat up and hurt countless times, so much so that I’ve lost count. This movie, however, counted on the fact that all of those aspects had to be brought together for the ending to make sense. I knew that I had to be hurt and I knew that I had to be beaten up properly in order for the emotions of the scene to shine. I felt great being hit. There’s no way to lessen the pain other than to just hold it in. You can’t blink when a fist is being thrown at you.”

Q. “You’re known for doing all of the scenes on your own without a stunt double.”

“I’m confident that I can perform better than other people. My confidence is one of my strengths so I want to show people everything I can up to my limits and prove to the viewers that I’m doing my absolute best. I also have this intense desire to try to fulfill what I lack to the best of my ability. When shooting action scenes, I feel like you have to be sweating and getting down and dirty for it. I have no desire to protect my body when on the scene.”

Q. “Your visual/image was wrecked through this film.”

“There’s this one scene in the movie where I’m caught looking at my absolute worst in my entire career… and I like that scene the best. If it’s a part of the movie, what’s wrong with looking ugly? You can’t be an actor if you’re embarrassed of small things like that.

In general, it was a movie that you couldn’t be fussing with your visual about. For one scene in particular, the director said that it’d be nice if I came to work with flattened hair. After that, I didn’t even wash my face or my hair when leaving for work. It was only after that I let go of my image that filming became much more natural and comfortable.”

Q. “You received positive reviews for your past movies and dramas..”

“If only if it weren’t for the accident… I think it’s important to not make the same mistake twice. Because of that, the way I carry my heart is different. I want to do better. I’m currently working between movies and dramas, but I know that just because I did well in a drama doesn’t mean I’ll receive the same response in a movie. I’m always working with the heart of improving myself.”

Q. “Is your injury okay?”

“My right leg is still in bad condition. I have so many things I need to be doing but I get so frustrated because of my ankle. I get shots every week to speed up the recovery. I have to recover soon in order to work on my movie with Jackie Chan, since that also is an action film. I haven’t used a stunt double thus far and I’m not planning to yet. Doesn’t it give me some merit as a casting partner (grin)?”

Q. “You seem very excited.”

“I grew up watching his movies. I’ve seen probably 30 of them. Being able to work with him is different from just working with another actor. It’s just so amazing to be with him, you really can’t describe it in words. We filmed for a bit in Paris and will be heading to Beijing for additional shooting next month. The production process is taking a bit long but it’s a very meaningful movie to me.”

Q. “What did Jackie Chan say?”

“While filming on scene, we had to switch up some of the moves. I caught on quickly and learned them on the spot, and Jackie Chan said that he was proud because I reminded him of his younger years. I felt great since it felt like he was praising me for being a good cast. This time, I want to impress him with my acting.”

Q. “You’re looking forward to your overseas advancement.  What are you dreaming of?”

“Aside from ‘Chinese Zodiac‘, I also have a movie with Cecilia Cheung coming up in November. I’ve also received a casting offer for a Hollywood film. If I were to name a dream, it’d be to shift my influence from Asia to Hollywood and one day develop a movie under the brand of my name. It’s good to dream big, you know (laughter).”

*** He's DAEBAK! I hope the DVD copy of this movie will be available in the market soonest so I could watch it. I’m happy that he has so many projects going on. So excited for the release of his other movies! He’s still a HOT DUDE! I hope to see a lot from him. He’s one of the few actors who do his own stunts even when the stunts are no joke. I have loved KSW since Stairway to Heaven....
