11 AM teaser

   Should I say - FINALLY! It's been over a year and a half of waiting. And full teaser is now out (the previous one, shorter, was released some days ago).

Sci-fi about time travel. I'm always iffy about such things, since time travel motif is full of loopholes (nomen omen) and it's hard to avoid mistakes and paradoxes, but... WHO CARES??

The 18th Korean Culture Entertainment Awards

Jeong Jaeyeong all the way. I repeat - ALL THE WAY!
The 18th Korean Culture Entertainment Awards took place at the International Convention Hall in Seoul's 63 Building on December 15th.

G-Love: poster and new still

   There is something wrong with this connection I have now. I'm not complaining, at least I have one, but still...

It's weird.

Muahaha!! Another still from the movie and the official poster! 

The movie will be out in January, according to the poster, but no day set yet. Some time (well, 6 months, OK) I heard the movie was scheduled to the middle of 2011. Ah well, no complaints here, no...

So, my theory from before about the "glove" is actually true? Ohoho...

Jeong Jaeyoung - Winner of Blue Dragon Award

It may not be his best role or movie, but please, if you want to stay alive... He's this kind of actor, if you can't praise him, just shut up. I love him, every role, even in idiotic movies, love his method, his approach, his power.

This time, I'm totally biased.

Yes, I'm happy. I'm elated. Let me stay in this state for a while. Until bitterness of life smothers it again.
Update: OK, you can say what you want. I don't care that much.
Ah, and I found the video, the video... *faints*

JJY: interview

   Eemmm... because everything is better than research. Apparently. Drooling versus Research - 1:0.

G-Love: first stills

There are two stills that appeared on Hancinema. And what can I say? It's a long waiting, long waiting till this movie release. JJY played a baseball player once, in Someone Special, and it was such a weird movie. I'm waiting.

One man two movies

   Jeong Jaeyoung... I guess Korean movie shows are spoiling me. Somehow a good TV Fairy heard my sobbing and pleading during those cold, dark nights without KNG bright smile, and now I get few JJY moments. I know this will come to an end when there will be no movie to promote, and I will have to wait few months on the complete dessert. But hell, I have movies, I can watch them all over again...

47th Daejong Awards

   As we all know a month ago So Jisub got the special one. On Friday, yesterday, the awards were handed. And as everyone predicted, Won Bin (yes, Aili!) got the award for the Most Popular Actor as well as for the Best Actor. Which is debatable considering Jeong Jaeyoung had also a nice movie this year... Let's fight!
Official Website 

Few videos: JJY, SKKS^^

   And now this killed me. Ah, why am I not in Busan? Why am I not this lucky fella who could hug JJY?? Is life always this bad, or is it only like this when you live in Europe? Dammit!

Plus, I made another cut about this now-famous-line of Song Jungki about Yu Ah-in's lips, hehe, so you can either watch it or download the cut.

Pusan International Film Festival

Asia's most prestigious film event, the Pusan International Film Festival, opened Thursday night at the Suyoungman Yacht Marina in Korea's city of Busan.
This year international VIP guests include American filmmaker Oliver Stone who's here to promote his new release "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" and French actress Juliette Binoche, who was personally invited by the event's executive chairman Kim Dong-ho, as well as American actor Willem Dafoe, who is here to promote his latest project "A Woman."
On the domestic front "Queen of Cannes" Jeon Do-yeon has been invited as a guest at the festival's special section, Cinema Today Panorama, where her recent film "The Housemaid" will be screened.
And other celebs here to light up the event included Won-bin, Jung Woo-sung, Hyun-bin and Son Yeh-jin. (Arirang)
They forgot about Jeong Jaeyoung, bastards!! But I spotted him!
And I thought I went crazy and started to see things when I thought I saw KNG. I checked. Nope, I'm sane. KNG was in the broadcast^^

You can always see a short report on it.

G-Love

Nothing much, but I think I haven't written anything on Mr. Jeong for a quite long time. But I came across an article on Yoo Seon (she was the lady in Iggi, she was the lady... she gave me such creeps there), that she learned the sign language especially for G-Love. Come to think of it, KNG also learned for Goodbye Solo... OK, enough.

There's nothing on this movie still, apart from the fourth person in cast: Jo Jinwung.

And G-Love is about what?

The movie ‘G-Love’ is a film about a high school baseball team with an ex-baseball player who pasted his prime time and a school mistress; watching point is a strong friendship and love between high school baseball players. This is a second human drama genre challenge for director Kang Woo-seok 21 years after “Happiness is not in academic score order’ (1989). (after hancinema )

So be prepared I will be acting like with Iggi, that means: every article I can find, every pic or shred of it. But I'm not an abnormal fan so I will post only official ones from normal sites.

JJY played baseball player in Someone Special, if anyone wants. T'was a strange movie...

Trailers

  There are some movies that I'm waiting for. And today appeared the first trailer for The Murderer. Directed by Na Hongnim (yes, he directed The Chaser), and starring Ha Jeongwu and Kim Yunseok. Those gentlemen met on the plan of... The Chaser. So I guess we will get another heavy and intense tale. The story is about the man who lives near the Korean border running from his debts. One day, after returning to Korea, he is accused of murder and the game of who's chasing whom starts. Because the role of another assassin plays Kim Yunseok.

Korean new movies ^^

First, the one I've been anticipating the most for few months already. Because of the director and because of one of the cast. Those who know who they are don't need further explanation. Those who don't: No Regret (2006). Judging from the trailer, it looks like a tense movie. Let's hope it will be better than his latest Short!Short! I think I posted about this movie some time ago, but just in any case one more time^^... Ufufu.

Jeong Jae Young and baseball.

Whoa, Iggi has almost 2.5 millions of viewers! And JJY made an appearance yesterday at the baseball stadium. Yes it was a fundraising for some foundation.

Jeong Jae Young: in a nutshell

   The only nut here it's me. I was watching another movie show Video Journey, and after some uninteresting reviews of some Hollywood flicks I saw... ahahaha!! Stop my heart, I will need you in 2012. Crap, the Mayan Calendar ends in 2012... if they did it on purpose so I can't grab KNG and run away, I will slaughter them all!! But maybe... ah, nevermind. My braincells are working now like mad. I fed them some veggie juice with lot of chilli. Yes, no alcohol, you read it right, my dear readers, I can't actually believe it either.

Back to the point, if you are unfamiliar with him, just watch the video. You will get his most noticed movies, his best performances in them, his... Oh, snap, it started... fangirl mode! No Divine Weapon in it?? Ah, schmuck!

Iggi... omg, are you not bored yet??

Noo!! And I will never be! The new interview is available for watching below as well as some snapshots from it. What differs this one from the previous interviews is that this footage actually focuses also on JJY transformation, that is shaving his head and few hours of make-up. No, not that kind of make-up The-One-Whose-Name-Shall-Not-Be-Mentioned would love to wear.

Jeong Jae Young: Entertainment Weekly 1332

In a guerilla interview. 

You know, writing here or on D-Addicts actually helps a lot when my mind is occupied with some bad thoughts. But some bad thoughts cannot be chased away. Some stay, and despite all my fangirling (we know what kind of) and love, they are still here.

So, today I watched (yes, I know it's late) Entertainment Weekly from 2010-07-10 and I fell from chair seeing the guerilla interview with JJY^^.

I've been watching a lot of shows lately, trying to understand as much as I can. I like EW and other movie shows, they have Korean subtitles sometimes, so I can check it^^. And I'm also drawn into The World And I program. I'm trying now to watch as much as I can of it. Also I'm catching up with I Love Movies.

Interview with Jeong Jae Young

This time I will most definitely translate it as soon as I can, because the article is so good^^. I mean, I knew he's one of the bests, and most definitely the best in Asia, but reading about it made my heart flutter. I know, a lot of pressure on Iggi, on him, on director Kang. But I believe everything turns just well. First screenings were favorable, but the general audience is what will judge the movie.

Asiae: 2010-07-07

Music Video

I have always liked music videos. That is why I was such a sucker for some clips back in my.. erm... younger days. I never had any cable TV, no computer but I had two, maybe three music shows on TV (2 movie shows as well), so I watched it every time. I could fake illness just to stay home and watch it. Maybe it's because I like stories and movies I developed some liking for film-like MV. I like when it has a storyline. I like when professional actors appear in it. It's really hard in Europe, because actors think they are gift from gods and MV is below their  semi-divine nature. Bullsh*t, my dear Artists, you're just self-absorbed egoists with your egos bigger than our Galaxy. (Meanwhile... in the Galaxy far away, Palpatine still looks wrinkled bad, and Luke still is this retared farmboy...)

That is why discovering Korean entertainment came like heavensent. 

First: they are not afraid to experiment. Second: they have actors who appear in MV and turn it into the masterpiece. Peggy from DA pointed me to some video that was even released on DVD, it's almost 30 minutes long, it's practically a short movie itself. There are shorts shorter than this.

Do I have some fears about hmm... short things?? Nah...

JJY: interview

I'm on my way to translate it.
