[Guest Miss Polen]

Looking at the pictures above..... I can't help but recall the funny anecdote about how SJS innocently ask a question to his friend, Song Seung Hun after their fashion stint during their younger days. "Heung, are we going to be famous now ?" The correct answer to this question can now be: Yes, because you have worked very,very hard and reached your goal many, many times. Being recognized by your fellow countrymen and given the 19th Korean Cultural & Entertainment Award is the proof for it.

SJS, May you continue to inspire everyone !!!!

So Ji Sub & Han Hyo Joo will come to Thailand during January 24-29, 2012

- January 24-25 => "Always" Press Conference (Bangkok)

- January 26-29 => "Always" join Hua Hin International Film Festival.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Press Conference of Hua Hin International Film Festival (HHIFF) on December 21, 2011 @ Bangkok

The National Federation of Thai Film Associations in conjunction with Hua Hin Municipality, Prachuap Khiri Khan province and The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) announced The Hua Hin International Film Festival 2012 which will be held on 26-29th January

at InterContinental Hua Hin Resort, Major Cineplex , Vic Hua Hin and Centennial Park.

In four days over 50 movies will represent both box office and festival hits from ASEAN, Asia, and Hollywood.

A program of industry seminars will focus on inter-ASEAN co-operation

An exhibition will honor the photographic talents of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej

A public event will bring the fun and excitement of the movies to all at Centennial Park.

In the announcement of HUA HIN INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL 2012 ( 21 December,2011) Mr.Suwat Liptapanlop, Festival Chairman presented the aims of the festival:

“Hua Hin is a great venue for the festival. Not only is it a popular seaside resort, but it has a great history, having established itself over 100 years ago. It has always been a favorite spot of the Royal Family, and the Klai Kangwon Palace remains a Royal residence to this day. Its film history stretches back to the very birth of the Thai film industry, when a Hollywood crew chose it as a location for the film 'Miss Suwanna of Siam'.

“To recognize the importance of the town, The National Federation of Thai Film Associations has partnered with the Hua Hin Municipality and The Tourism Authority of Thailand to present The Hua Hin International Film Festival 2012 from 26-29th January, 2012.

The festival will also present an opportunity to welcome distinguished international guests, including many film directors and stars. A special event celebrating the contributions of Korean cinema will feature a number of famous Korean stars including the pop idol, Se7ven, Lee Da Hae from 'My Girl' and the stars of 'Always', So Ji Sub and Han Hyu Joo.

The charming seaside town of Hua Hin will offer all our guests a taste of true Thai hospitality.

"The Hua Hin International Film Festival will help to put ASEAN cinema on the world stage, and to present the many attractions of Thailand, and therefore assist the economic development of the Thai film industry. It will also attract tourists to the area. Thus the festival will benefit both industry and tourism."

"The festival will have the support of the InterContinental Hua Hin Resort as the official festival venue, and the opening ceremony will capture the atmosphere of the seaside town, complete with replicas of the town's monuments and attractions.

Over fifty films have been selected to represent those films that have captured the imagination of their respective countries as 'Box Office Hits', or as films which have brought the cultures of their homelands to the attention of the world through film festivals and awards. The Major Cineplex Hua Hin will be the host cinema.

"There are many interesting films, including Asian premieres such as '360' from the USA, films which have broken box office records such as 'KL Gangster' (Malaysia) and 'Fool for Love' (Vietnam), and award-winners such as “Ways of The Sea” (Philippines), as well as films such as 'Warriors of the Rainbow', the most expensive film ever produced in Taiwan, and the official Taiwanese selection for the Academy Awards committee.".

"In celebration of the popularity of Korean cinema in Thailand, we present “Always” the Opening Film of the Busan International Film Festival 2011. We will also bring together films from across the ASEAN region."

Dr. Sorajak Kasemsuvan, The Festival Director says that

"Apart from the films that will be screened at the festival, there will be seminars bringing together leading academics and film industry professionals. There will be a variety of interesting topics such as:

- ASEAN Movies for ASEAN Community by Dr. Surin Pitsuwan.

-Country Report by representatives of 9 countries from ASEAN presenting the current state of the film industry in their country.

-Can Government Help? - with invited representatives from the EU, CNC KOFIC France and South Korea, to provide advice and assistance from the perspective of public and government support and funding. There will also be a discussion of other means of fund-raising, the potential of joint ventures and co-productions, and the important issue of copyright protection.

- The DIY Movie workshop is open to the general public, and presents a two-day opportunity to learn from the skills of established directors such as Jim Sophon of “Laddaland “, Khom Kongkiat of “Chaiya”, and S. Khom Krit of “Friends”

“The festival will bring entertainment to all. Whether a Hua Hin resident, from other regions of Thailand, or visitors from other countries: all are welcome to join the festival atmosphere at Centennial Park, offering four evenings of activities between 5 and 11 pm. The activities include the screening of period films from top celebrities and all time classics starring such artists as Mitr Chaibansha, Petchara Chaovarat, Sombat Metanee, Aranya Namwong. Watch the live “talk show” series, or listen to bands presenting classic music from the 60s and 70s, such as THE BEATLES, ELVIS PRESLEY, BEE GEES, CLIFF RICHARD, TOM JONES etc.

"On the auspicious occasion of the 84th birthday of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, we are also proud to present an exhibition of His Majesty's photographs at the InterContinental Hua Hin Resort. These photographs capture the town of Hua Hin during his frequent stays, celebrating not only his creativity, but also his many contributions to the people of Hua Hin and Thailand.

"The closing ceremony will present an Audience Award to those films chosen by the festival audiences. Members of the film industry will have an opportunity to congratulate the winners, and to thank all visiting filmmakers for their participation.

We aim to present not only the best of cinema, but the best of Hua Hin, and to bring a successful and memorable event to all our visitors.”

What I did earlier

Oct 6 => e-mail to friend at Major Cineplex (with full info of Always + BIFF) urged to bring in Always movie for Thai movie-goers

[Major Cineplex forwarded my e-mail to M-Pictures on the same day]

Nov 13 => M-Pictures posted in FaceBook that Always will be available at Major Cineplex on December 22, 2011

And showed them my Always making book. Many of them wanted to order as well.

Highlight of discussions

=> Me and Pompam went to ASTA Mag with my CD asking them to publish Always filming in Thailand in January 2012 issue, but it was too late. Then, they asked me to write my experience of Always filming in Thailand in Fan Club section in February 2012 issue instead. We talked about rough schedules informed by M-Pictures and HHIFF. They also advised us to open Always (Thailand) fan page in FaceBook to promote the movie and to be a channel to inform SJS & HHJ schedules before hand to fan clubs.

=> I saw 2012 movie time line of Major Cineplex confirming that Always will be 100% available at Major Cineplex movie theaters on February 2, 2012. By mid of January 20112, they will let me know specific branches to show the movie.

=> At M-Pictures, I got many more details.

M-Picture responsibilities : hold Always press conference

- Jan 24 : SJS+HHJ come to Thailand

- Jan 25 : Always Press Conference + VIP (include FC) movie premier giving away premium with SJS & HHJ autographs

- Big surprise to Mr. Sorayuth (TV3)

NFTFA together with sponsors : hold HHIFF inviting Always movie to join the venue

- Jan 28 : Korean Night

- Jan 29 : (I'm not sure whether SJS+HHJ will go back to Korea on this day.)

[Note...M-Pictures asked to join FaceBook info between M-Pictures and our Always (Thailand) fan page.]

=> I went to NFTFA, but the planning staff wasn't there. Then I left my CD and showed BIFF overall pics as a guideline for thier preparations. The person I talked to like Jisub oppa so much.

=> I e-mail Mr. Sorayuth (TV3) that HHJ will come to Thailand and gave him my CD + Always poster at his office.

=> Here is FaceBook of Always (Thailand) => Always Movie ~SoJiSub & HanHyoJoo@Thailand

=> I got Always official still shots from someone. There are more about 1,000 pics with super big file sizes. Will post here little by little any time soon.

Thanks for the update.

'Always' is a beautiful movie. I watched it 10 times at theaters. (to chase Jisub at theater round )

I went to Twosome place a few days ago.

I heard Jisub went to US and come back at January.

The staffs say Jisub is a strict president.

BTW Jisub doesn't have any religion. And I don't think he plays any musical instrument.
