Ahn Sohee & Yeon Woo Jin act in short film in Mongolian

[waves-of-light.livejournal.com]

Former member of early generation K-pop girl group Wonder Girls, Ahn Sohee showed talent not only in acting but also in the Mongolian language in a recently released short film.

On March 8, Lancome Korea unveiled an 11-minute short film titled “Anu and Huyga.” Set in a ger in the middle of a wide snowfield, the film presents beautiful scenery of the wildland, as well as it speaks for a powerful message about women’s autonomy.

The short film, which was collaboratively produced by Lancome Korea and Marie Claire Korea, celebrates 2018 International Women’s Day. In the film, Ahn Sohee acts a Mongolian girl Anu, who wants to explore the bigger world.

Comments to the film appreciate the film’s message about women’s autonomous choice, not to mention the stars’ efforts in learning an unfamiliar language.


Just maybe a tiny bit of product placement?

I was wondering what she was doing lately

...but why did they not get a Mongolian girl to act.........or if they wanted Sohee, why didn't they set it in Korea, where I'm sure they could have had a narrative about women's autonomy......... like, seriously Lancome/Marie Claire....

I saw a few comments in korean calling it cultural appropriation.

I haven't watched it yet bc I'm still at work but just from the description, it seems like it would be yeah

In the middle of their argument she starts speaking Korean and the guy tells her not to. I thought maybe she was supposed to be Korean descent or something but it was a bit confusing. They don’t really give any context.

That was like an expensive version of an awkward PSA. Idk why it had to be in Mongolian??

I love Sohee, though. And yes to any 'no means no' message.

How does yeon woo jin always manage to land a role with much younger female actress alongside him? Also how does he seem to never age?
