Moon Geun-young accused of "communist-led psychological warfare"

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

By Park Si-soo
Staff Reporter

Actress Moon Geun-young can breathe a sigh of relief as an ideologically-motivated legal battle involving Moon and her family finally came to an end Thursday.

The Seoul Central District Court handed down a ruling in favor of Jin Joong-kwon, a liberal scholar who worked for Chung-Ang University, in a suit brought to the court by ultra-conservative commentator Ji Man-won over remarks made by Jin.

Judge Seo Ki-ho said in the ruling Jin’s remarks couldn’t be seen as insulting, dismissing all charges against the liberal scholar. “Ji’s remarks were regarded as a sort of satire on society,” the judge added.

The dispute was triggered late last year when it was revealed that the 22-year-old actress, nicknamed the country’s “kid sister,” made a big donation.

Liberal TV Presenter Ousted From KBS

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

TV presenter Kim Je-dong was dismissed Saturday from KBS weekend primetime show "Star Golden Bell," drawing speculation that the state-run broadcaster was pushed to sack the man well-known for liberal political ideas.

A KBS production director was quoted as saying that Kim, in charge since 2004, had been in his position too long.

Kim's recording on Tuesday will be aired as the last edition, the broadcaster said.

Since Kim stepped down from hosting KBS2's "Entertainment Weekly" last December, he has lost all his posts at the nation's largest broadcaster.

"Star Golden Bell" is a highly rated quiz show, which airs on Saturday at 5:15 p.m. Twenty celebrity guests compete to win money for charity. Kim was said to be the right fit for the job.

His agent Kim Young-jun said that the host is more than baffled.

Five must-sees at Busan film festival

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

BUSAN - The 14th Pusan International Film Festival opened with all of the glitz and glamour as promised by its organizers on Thursday, kicking off the 9-day celebration under the cool coastal breeze at the Suyoungman Yacht Marina.

The opening of Asia's biggest film festival began with the screening of director Jang Jin's latest, an inspiring tale of three Korean heads of state titled "Good Morning President," starring Jang Dong-gun as Korea's youngest president-elect.

Continental stars like Jang Dong-gun, Lee Byung-hun, Sul Kyoung-gu, So Ji-sub, Ha Ji-won, Ha Jung-woo, Kim Yoon-jin, and Han Chae-young were all in attendance during the festival's red carpet gala that sent photographers from the press on a mad rush, jockeying for position as the stars walked down the aisle of the venue.

Also on hand throughout the on-going festival will be Hollywood hunks like Josh Hartnett and Japanese heartthrob Takuya Kimura, who were also in attendance during the opening ceremony.

The two are here on a special invitation from Hallyu-star Lee Byung-hun, who co-stars in the film "I come with the rain."

The list of VIPs to the festival also includes Bryan Singer who produced the "X-Men" series and Italian horror maestro Dario Argento.

Unlike last year's edition, this year's PIFF shifted its focus from small independent films from the central and southeast Asian region to a more broader and commercial-centric selection.

This year's choice of "Good Morning President" as the opening film came as a surprise to many. Last year's selection was an obscure Kazakh film that organizers claimed would showcase films from emerging film markets.

This year, organizers have switched their focus to domestic films buoyed by the string of recent success of local films.

More than 2 million visitors are expected to congregate in Busan this year. For ticket and venue details, log onto www.piff.org

Ms Idrac called Jeon "one of the most talented actresses in South Korea today."

Her previous films have included The Scandal and You Are My Sunshine.

France's Order of Arts and Letters was set up in the 1950s to recognise contributions to the arts and literature.

Film-maker of the year

Recent recipients of the chevalier award have included Kylie Minogue, Jude Law, George Clooney and children's illustrator Quentin Blake.

The highest order of commander has been given to Dennis Hopper, Bob Dylan and Clint Eastwood.

Among the highlights of the Pusan International Film Festival have been a screening of I Come with the Rain, an international thriller starring US actor Josh Hartnett, South Korea's Lee Byung-hun and Takuya Kimura of Japan.

Also at the festival, Indian director Yash Chopra has been honoured as filmmaker of the year.

Chopra, who founded one of India's top studios, Yash Raj Films, has enjoyed close working relationships with some of Bollywood's biggest stars including Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan.

Leessang’s Gil Gives Hyori a Love Call at What Time?

[theuncolored.livejournal.com]

We’ll get to that. All in good time.

On the 9th, Leessang’s Gil gave an interview for tvN’s ‘ENEWS Weekly’ on Kim Jin Pyo’s Star Interview, ‘JP N Star.’ The rapper told the story of how Lee Hyori came to star in his group’s music video along with Ryu Seung Bum. He said there had been much deliberation about who to cast for that particular role and at some wee hour of the morning, he decided to personally call Hyori and ask her take the role. She reportedly hesitated at first, but when she heard the song she agreed to take part immediately.

Who else thinks this sounds fishy? Why didn’t he ask his girlfriend, Park Jung Ah, to participate in this?

Quartet of dramas revamps fall line-up

[theuncolored.livejournal.com]

The latest fall line-up adds fuel to this season's ratings race.

KBS' "IRIS" -- an espionage thriller of cinematic proportions -- stands out from the crowd. Backed by an all-star cast, three scriptwriters and two directors, the much-talked-about series promises to live up to its hype and nab top notch ratings when it starts it 20-episode run on Wednesday.

Starting tonight, SBS' much-hyped "Angel's Temptation" may relive the success of its scriptwriter's previous blockbuster "Cruel Temptation" a.k.a. "Temptation of Wife." A new timeslot -- it airs at 8:50 p.m. instead of 10 p.m. -- enables it to sidestep the formidable MBC Monday and Tuesday night series, "The Great Queen Seondeok."

This Saturday, both KBS and MBC revamped their weekend line-up with two new series. KBS' "Yeolhyeol Jangsaggun" charts the highly ambitious escapades of a car salesman. MBC's "Seeking Love" orchestrates an unlikely romance between a lawyer and a doctor.

Reason why Big Bang opted for no-broadcast for Dream Concert

[theuncolored.livejournal.com]

Many fans were curious as to why group Big Bang decided to have their performances edited out from the broadcast of Dream Concert 2009.

Dream Concert 2009 took place on 10th October in Seoul World Cup Stadium, and Big Bang full team was there performing. But during the concert broadcast on 11th October at 3.3opm, their performances were edited out and not broadcasted. Fans were looking forward to seeing the whole team perform with DaeSung joining the team.

So what was the real reason for the no-broadcast?
