[06-Jan-12][koreajoongangdaily]From Rain to brain-eating worms, it’s time to get your popcorn ready

2012-01-06T10:13:00.001-08:00

A new year has begun, and the nation’s movie industry is all geared up for a strong showing in 2012 with the return of a number of high-profile actors and directors. Whether you’re a fan of heartthrob actor Rain or find pleasure in watching worms eat human brains, it’s time to get your popcorn ready.
The mega projects

Blockbuster films such as “Sector 7,” “The Front Line” and “Quick” failed to break even in 2011. But these flops didn’t discourage other ambitious projects from coming to theaters this year. To turn the tide, films in the Year of the Dragon will introduce themes seldom touched by Korean cinema in the past.
Kim Ji-hun’s action-disaster film “Tower” is being compared to the 1974 Hollywood hit “The Towering Inferno.” The story is told through the perspective of firefighters and trapped people struggling to escape from a skyscraper in Seoul after a massive fire breaks out. With a 10 billion won ($869,565) budget, the film features a star-studded cast that includes actor Sol Kyung-gu (“Haeundae” 2009) as a warm-hearted firefighter, Son Ye-jin (“Spellbound” 2011) and Kim Sang-kyung (“Hahaha” 2009). Director Kim looks to have a stronger showing in the box office than last year’s “Sector 7.”
Korea’s version of “Top Gun” (1986) is also slated to hit theaters this year. Funded by the Korean Air Force, “Soar into the Sun” centers on combat pilots. To ensure top-quality air-to-air combat scenes, the film brought in Hollywood aerial camera team Wolf Air Aviation.
“Soar into the Sun” was heartthrob singer-actor Rain’s last film before he joined the Army last October. Rising actress Sin Se-gyeong also stars in the film.
For those hooked on horror films, a thriller set for release this year is sure to spook, or at least gross out, even the most intrepid moviegoer. “Wireworm,” actor Kim Myung-min’s first blockbuster film, is based on mutant wireworms that control human brains. The worms force Korea into a state of emergency as Kim struggles to save infected families.
After blockbusters’ weak showing in the box office last year, Yang Hae-seon, an industry insider who works for a film production and distribution company, said the diversity of genres in 2012 is a good sign for the industry.
“When ‘Sector 7’ failed last year, industry insiders were concerned about the market because the huge flop might result in decreased investment,” Yang said. “Whether they succeed or not, it’s meaningful that we have many films for diversity.”

Star directors strike back
Grand news for movie aficionados: Many famed directors are returning to the big screen this year. Bong Joon-ho, three years after his previous hit “Mother” (2009), will end his hiatus with “Snow Piercer,” a project based on the award-winning French SF comic “Le Transperceneige.”
Little has been revealed about the production, but the original comic is set during World War II when an extreme wave of cold weather kills most of life on earth. A few survivors take refuge in an express train named Le Transperceneige, a shelter people from all walks of life are trying to get into. Korean actor Song Kang-ho, who has worked with Bong before, landed a star role alongside actors from France, Japan and the United States.

Bong is one of a few filmmakers who is loved by critics and audience alike. Most of his films including “Mother,” “The Host” (2006) and “Memories of Murder” (2003) have become huge hits with well-woven stories and skillful direction.
Another acclaimed director, Park Chan-wook, returns to cinema with his newest film “Stoker,” which will be released in the United States. Park, renowned for “Oldboy” (2003), flew to Los Angeles and made his Hollywood debut film with A-list actors including Matthew Goode, Nicole Kidman and Mia Wasikowska.
Park began shooting the film last September in the States.
Director Kim Ji-woon, who is working on “The Last Stand” in the States with “Terminator” star Arnold Schwarzenegger, will make time to release his short film as part of the omnibus movie “Report on Destruction of Mankind” this year. Kim teamed up with other two other directors in the collaborative project. Kim’s short film “Heavenly Creature” is a story about a robot working at a temple as an assistant but later achieves spiritual enlightenment.
Year of the actress
Male-dominated films have been all the rage over the past few years. Actresses point out that there simply aren’t many female-centered films for the media to focus on - but this year should be different. Keep your eyes out for top actresses returning to theaters: Jun Ji-hyun comes back with “The Professionals” alongside Lee Jung-jae and Kim Hye-soo. Ko Hyun-jung will also lead the cast in “Miss Go.”

2011-11-30T08:36:00.001-08:00

- A behind-the-scenes story about Rain after four days three nights at the 306 Supplement last month -

비느 얘기는 내 친구 아부지가 4스타로 은퇴하시고 그 집안이 친가, 외가 쭈루룩~~~~~ 군인인 집안이여~ 복도 많지,,,,,,,,ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ

그 중 삼촌이 보충대에 계셨나봐그런데 하도 개념없는 연예인들 이야기를 많이 들으셔서비느를 초장에 잡으려고 하셨데 그런데 생각했던거와 반대로느무 군기가 들어 잘하려고 해서 시간이 갈 수록 이뻐 보였데3박 4일후 훈련소로 가던 날 좀 미안하기도 하고 잘 해주고 싶어서훈련소 가기전 차 한잔 하자고 불렀는데 (이거 중요하다 훈련소 가기전,,,,,,,,,)그때도 군기가 들어 있어서 좀 편안하게 하라고 했는데 끝까지 안 그러더래,,,,,,,,,,,

Both my friend's parents are from military families~~~~~ lucky devil!

As it happened, her uncle was Rain's commanding officer at the Supplement where Rain was enlisted last month.

After hearing so much about celebrities having no idea what they're doing, her uncle thought bad habits should be corrected in the very beginning.

But contrary to her uncle's belief, Rain's military discipline was very strict and tried to be better than was possible as the days went by.

So her uncle began to feel sorry for Rain and wanted to be nice to him. Wishing to talk with Rain over a cup of coffee, her uncle commanded Rain to stop by his office when Rain was ready to move to the training camp after four days three nights.

Well, even then, Rain's discipline was never relaxed from start to finish even though her uncle asked him to relax.

00:00-00:30

MC: Rain at shooting training in the Army..

What was it that happened ?

  This artcle was provided by on Wednesday's Japanese donga.

   Singer Rain entered the Army last month and his shooting score was that

   19 out of 20 at day time and 10 out of 10 at night training.



   As the result he gained the parfect score and also slelected as a top marksman.

   He was the top 3 among the participated trainees of 140.

00:30-00:36

The man on the left(L):You already have an experience of serving in the Army.

                                 Is it a quite great thing to do?

00:36- 00:57

The man on the right(R): Yes, it is!.

                                 The targets are 100m, 150m and 200m far away from you.

                                 The actual size and shape are like human but you could see them like this with

                                 your eyes( gestured by his fingers).

                                 So it is a quite great thing because he hit all of them.

L: It was really great. wasn't it?

R: Yes.

L: He must has the power of concentration.

00:58-01:11

MC: It is also reported that Rain was appointed a training position for new trainees.

L: Because he is cool?

MC: It should be his ability lead this result rather than he is cool.

01:12-01:56

L: Because he is cool does not affect this, rgiht?

R: There are all men. He is cool but does not do anything.

Rain is very good at dancing. I assume that he must be talented in sports very well and

he must be a top class of any training.

R: I agree with you. Not only his power of concentration, I think that he is not an ordinary person,

   when I see his dance.

R: In order to maxmize his talent which will be used in the Army as a trainer right?.

L: Yes, the top class solders will be selected and locate them to the teaching position.

L: What king of person taught you when you were a trainee?

R: It was a ordinal person. I wish it was Rain.

L: It could be delightful if you had training from Rain.

01:57-02:25

MC: Now ,this is a question time!

   National Defence PR institution took the survey towards 400 of Korean solders last year.

   The question was "What was the best taste food you had serceletly?"

   What kind of food were they?

02:26-02:30

MC: Is the circumstance that solders have to eat secretly?

02:33

His name is Kim Keita

Born in 1980 in Chiba pref. Japan. has Korean father and Japanese mother.

After graduating his university in Korea, he moved to Japan.

His activities are on TV・Radio・theater and others.

02:30-02:29

R: Ahhh,, when you join the army, you are the junior person in the unit or in the camp at first.

   If you are junior, you are not allowed to do anything such as going somewhere, eating and talking

   by your own decision. You need permission or order to do it from the senior.

Therefore eating secretly means they eat without permission in the toilet or something like that.

L: He knows what this means because he has the experience in the Army.

04:11-04:27

The correct answers are;

No.1 Instant noodle

No.2 Chocolate pie

No.3 Hardtack

04:28-05:25

L: After discharged from the Army, all man could be reminiscent this(Instant noodle).

It not only you ate this secretly or not.

You can't cook this in the kitchen without permission. So solider eat this way.

-Open the package of it.

-Use the half of powered soup, that is the best!

-Pour the hot water into the open package.

-Close the package with disposable chopsticks.

-Hold it and wait around 3 minutes and eat.

Taste is very good!!    It is really good!

L:  I got his answers during CM, and he had all correct answers!

R: Is it OK eating chocolate pie in the Army?

R: I have an image that chocolate pie is to be ate in the Army. I also got this image from TVCM in Korea.

L: Chocolate pie is a classic food in the Army.

All Japanese fan are so happy to see his news on Japanese TV program

2011-07-05T22:39:00.001-07:00

MANILA, Philippines - Asian pop star Rain will hold a series of concerts in Korea as a gift to his fans before he enters the military in November this year.

Called “2011 Rain Tour (The Best Show)”, the concert will kick off at Busan Exhibition and Convention Center in Busan on Aug. 13 and 14 followed by Daegu Exhibition and Convention Center in Daegu on Aug. 27.

Rain will then hold the concert on Sept. 3 at the Jeju Convention Center, and Sept .17 in Gwangju, Sept. 18 in Daejeon.

The concert finale will be held on Sept. 24 and 25 at the Seoul Olympic Park Stadium.

The Korean concerts come as he has just finished his Asia tour where he held concerts in China, Taiwan, Singapore, Japan, Malaysia, Thailand and Macao.

Rain was supposed to enlist in the military in September last year but requested the Military Manpower Administration for a postponement until this year due to his busy schedule and schooling.

During an interview with a Korean news program in April, Rain said he will enlist in the active duty. He said that after he is discharged from the military, he will make a movie in the US as a follow-up project to “Ninja Assassin."

Last June 25, Rain celebrated his 30th birthday.

Fans will miss Rain as he will be away for two years. All Korean men are required to serve the military.

Rain, who won the readers’ choice in TIME’s poll for the 100 most influential people in the world in April, has been doing many projects before his enlistment.

Besides preparing for the concert tour, he has been filming the Korean movie “Flight: Close to the Sun."

Last year, he starred in the Korean action TV series “Fugitive: Plan B."
