The Korean Wave's 'Big 3' Heats up Jeju in May

Bae Young-Jun is currently shooting a historical drama on MBC called 'Taewangsasingi' (The King's Four Gods) in the North Jeju County, which is scheduled to be televised starting on June 25th. Also, Song Seung-Hun and Kwon Sang-Woo will shoot an action film called 'Sukmyeong' (Fate), using Jeju as a possible prime location.



The main setting for 'The King's Four Gods' civil war scene is planned to be shot at a current tourist location at North Jeju County’s Myosanbong Peak, an approximate 66,000 square meter site. The production costs for 'The King's Four Gods' was estimated at over 38,700,000,000 Korean won (about 41,770,097 USD) and is currently being promoted to be distributed to 90 countries worldwide.

The two 31 year old "Korean wave" stars Song Seun Hun and Kwon Sang-Woo, are to film 'Fate' beginning on May 20, for a period of a month and a half. In the film, Song Seung-Hun plays Kim Woo-Min, a loyal friend who has served time in prison from being falsely convicted of murder. Kwon Sang-Woo, on the other hand, plays the role of Jo Cheol-Jung, a character that foresees a tragic end due to his ambition.

The Jeju Special Self-Governing Province will be taking this great opportunity of turning the "Korean Wave" tourism into a commodity by building a "Korean Wave Cultural Center" later this year.

========================================
FATE: SSH and KSW are joined by Ji Sung (Save the Last Dance for Me, All In), Park Han Byul (Fantastic Couple, My Fair Lady), and Kim In Kwon (Love So Divine, My Wife is a Gangster 2).

Hallyu Heroine Returns With New Drama

By Chung Ah-young
Staff Reporter



Actress Choi Ji-woo, popular in Japan where she is affectionately called "Ji-woo Hime", (Princess Ji-woo), is coming back to her Korean fans.

She will perform in the MBC drama, "Air City" that will air in May and June, breaking a three-year hiatus.

Her last performance on television was in the SBS drama, "Stairway to Heaven" three years ago, in which she starred with actor Kwon Sang-woo.

She will play a heroine, "Han Do-kyong", an aspiring executive at an airport corporation who speaks five foreign languages. The heroine suffers a trauma involving her family.

"We've decided that Choi is appropriate for the role", said HB Entertainment, which is involved in the production.

The story revolves around various incidents at the airport such as drug smuggling and passport counterfeiting.

Actor Lee Jeong-jae is a strong candidate to be Choi's counterpart, according to HB Entertainment. Shooting will begin early this year and will be broadcast on weekends on MBC in May and June.

Choi has a large fanbase in Southeast Asia including Japan because she co-starred with actor Bae Yong-joon, better known as "Yonsama" to Japanese fans, in "Winter Sonata" in 2002, which was a smash hit in Asian countries.

Choi also starred in "Everybody has Secrets", acting with Lee Byeong-Heon. Her roles in "Beautiful Days" (2001), "Winter Sonata" (2002) and "Stairway to Heaven" (2003) boosted her popularity throughout Asia.

I watch Korean dramas too but I think my favorite is the comedy Non-Stop! (It had that Korean actress that killed herself later - Lee Eun Ju who was also in Taegukgi) Has anyone here seen Meteor Garden also? I know it's not Korean but it's one of my favorites too! Cheesy but good!
