EXO’s Chanyeol in Final Talks for His First Movie, “Longevity Shop”
It looks like EXO’s Chanyeol might be making his acting/film debut!
On June 27, according to various industry officials, Chanyeol is in final talks for director Kang Jae Kyu’s new film “Longevity Shop” (lit.), the director’s first in three years. SM Entertainment said, “We’ve received the scenario for “Longevity Shop,” and we are looking it over.”
“Longevity Shop” was originally called “Greetings of Love” or “Last First Love,” and is about an old couple’s late-life romance.
If Chanyeol confirms for the film, he will be playing an innocent high school student, for his first foray into the acting world. Other actors who might be starring in the film include Park Geun Hyung, Yoon Yeo Jung, Jo Jin Woong, and Han Ji Min.
The film is set to crank in in August.

1. [+171, -14] Jumping into acting when it's only been two years since debut.............. Even though I'm an EXO fan, it's not something I can view positively........ Sorry.
2. [+148, -9] ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ No, Chanyeol don't go into acting ㅠㅠㅠ Varieties are fine but not acting ㅠㅠㅠ SM will never have an acting-dol like Lee Joon ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Can't we just stick to rapping and singing ㅠㅠㅠㅠ I'm saying this because I like you ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
3. [+122, -12] I don't hate Chanyeol but isn't he bad at acting; He did very poorly in K. Will's music video, especially his expressions...

1. [+3,424, -138] You'll get double the hate if you suck just because you're EXO
2. [+3,119, -189] Chanyeol-ah... Shooting a movie's fine but are you confident enough to do well? ㅠ I'm scared you'll get hate
3. [+2,265, -208] The power of SM
4. [+2,094, -208] EXO has finally creeped their way into the movie industry
5. [+1,504, -114] Isn't this the one Kang Dong Won is in?
A new addition to SM's long list of great actors, I see

Date: 2014-06-27 06:11 pm (UTC)I thought he'd get more support due to LOTJ and Roommate
The SM push for Chanyeol and Baekhyun is real
I direct your view to the activities of K in Korea and ask you to compare them to M in Chinano subject

Date: 2014-06-27 06:45 pm (UTC)I feel like Chanyeol will be like Eunji in the sense that he'll only be good at one role and will continue to play that role in every single thing he gets signed to. I rewatched the KWill MV and it wasn't as bad as people were saying, minus that one scene with him and the girl playing around lol.

Date: 2014-06-27 06:49 pm (UTC)When is SM going to get around to getting a role for Sehun though? The lack of activities for the maknae is becoming conspicuous.

Date: 2014-06-28 03:23 am (UTC)if he does get the role, i guess Donghae will visit the set because of Halbae (Park Geun Hyung)
poor M, i knew they would get shafted when SM came up with the idea.
SM doesn't know how to promote in China or any of the southern asian countries for that matter.
if SM doesn't push them into the market harder they will just become K's back up dancers for when they all get together.
