Lee Min-jung, Jung Kyung-ho, and Sad Love Story
Jung Kyung-ho moves in and out of TV and film with a skilled knack for acting. Lee Min-jung has been proving HER talent in the weekend drama, "Ggak-du-gi". The two join forces to star in Zia's new music video for the song, "Violin."
Zia's melancholy voice will linger in the ears of listeners in the compilation album titled, "Violin". The album includes hit songs from Song Seung-hun, Sung Si-kyung, Lee Seung-chul, and See Ya! The music video is a bit unique in its own way.
Sorrowful lyrics; a touching melody; the sweet tempo of a ballad. The music video for "Violin" actually includes scenes of Jung Kyung-ho and Lee Min-jung on the violin, as well. Jung had an especially sincere look on his face... we wanted to see what his violin skills were really like! When we asked -
These two were like young lovers on-film, but this is actually the first time they've ever met!
This is at the Deok-su palace in Seoul. A well-known place for couples to come on dates. Of course, a bike is optional!
Lee Min-jung is a young woman who loses her memory after a severe accident. Jung Kyung-ho is the one who tries to help her get it back. When the two had to sit across each other, staring into each others' eyes, we were able to catch a quick glimpse "!" of the awkwardness between two people who had just met !
That was Jung Kyung-ho and Lee Min-jung two rising stars of the year, starring in Zia's new music video for "Violin". The theme of the video is sad and incredibly touching. Hopefully it will be emotionally powerful enough to bring album sales up!
Kim Hye-soo in "Eleventh Mother"
The queen of transformation, actress Kim Hye-soo! The "sultry madame" from "War of Flowers", is replaced by a mother! Here are the details.
Today was the press conference for "The 11th Mother". Everyone was excited to see how sexy-icon Kim Hye-soo would portray her maternal instincts.
For ANY actress, assuming the character of a mother is not the easiest task. However, Kim Hye-soo chose "The 11th Mother", after falling in love with the scenario... In fact, SHE sought out the producers FIRST!
Kim Hye-soo had an undeniably talented co-star at her side. She got to watch Kim Young-chan in action, a child actor who has been praised MORE than a few times for his emotional performances. Throughout the shoot, the two were as close IN-character as they were off.
The movie centers on a woman who's survived a tough life, and how she learns to love with the help of a young boy... Her movie poster has gained a popular response from the public.
"The 11th Mother", a movie that promises to bring warmth into audiences' hearts! We can't wait to get a glimpse of it on the big screen this season... we could USE some warming up!
