[OTH] 47th Annual PaekSang Arts Awards + Updates

TODAY, May 26, from 20:00~22:00 (South Korean time) is the 47th Annual PaekSang Arts Awards at KyungHee University's 'Grand Peace Palace'

It will be broadcasted by KBS2.

She has been invited to award the Best Actress Award for the Movie Section (she won this award last year for "Closer to Heaven") and Ha Ji Won has been nominated for the Best Actress Award for the TV section (여자 최우수 연기상). The nominees for Best Actor/Best Actress also get nominated for the Grand Award for the TV section (대상 = DaeSang) which is the highest award.
(Baeksang gives out each award for the Movie Section and TV section. So there are 2 Grand Awards, 2 Best Actor Awards, 2 Best Actress Awards, etc.)
The online voting for the Popular Award ended a few days ago. Ha Ji Won got 3rd place with 6.1% (behind Moon Geun Young and Ga In)

Other upcoming schedules:

Saturday, May 28
Ha Ji Won will be having ANOTHER fan signing event at Moo Deung Baseball Stadium in Gwang Ju (home of the KIA Tigers) from 2-4 PM for Cass Light.

Other updates:

Monday, May 23rd 
Ha Ji Won had a test filming for "Korea". The "crank-in" (the term used for "starting a movie"- taken from cranking the film for a camera) for "Korea" will be early June. The date keeps getting pushed back. CJ pushed back the date of release to sometime early next year. They're very busy building the set. I read somewhere that they were planning to go to Japan to film some scenes (the actual Table Tennis Championship in 1991 was in Chiba, Japan) but they decided to just stay in Korea after the earthquakes and tsunamis.

Friday, May 25th.
Earlier in the day, someone tweeted that they saw Ha Ji Won at a sauna.
Later, Ha Ji Won attended a Maroon 5 concert at the Olympic Gymnastics Stadium in Seoul. There were a lot of fan accounts from last night. They said Ha Ji Won was clapping and moving to the music. She left 10 minutes before the end of the concert (like at the Big Bang concert) to avoid the large crowd. Lee Jung JaeJung Woo Sung were also at the concert last night. 


In 2007, Ha Ji Won made an appearance in Sung Shi Kyung's "Blue Night" radio show and said she really liked Maroon 5. She even bought their CD.

[NEWS] Jo In Sung: “Almost Broke My Teeth Kissing Ha Ji Won”

Ha Ji Won and Jo In Sung, a scene on What Happened in Bali
May 16, 2011
 
Jo In Sung, who just recently completed his military service, made a guest appearance on today’s SBS “Bae Gi Wan, Choi Young Ah & Jo Hyung Ki’s Good Morning” show to talk about his past kiss scenes with female celebrities. He is well known for carrying out surprise kisses in a lot of those scenes as were the case in SBS drama “Spring Days” with Go Hyun Jung, the movie “Mean Streets” with Lee Bo Young, and SBS drama “What Happened in Bali” with Ha Ji Won. In particular, regarding the kiss scene with Ha Ji Won, the star actor said, “I could have made a lot of NG (no good) scenes…I almost broke my teeth when it hit her’s (Ha Ji Won),” causing everyone at the set to burst out laughing. This comment however is exactly what Ha Ji Won said at a fan meeting in 2007 when asked to pick her favorite partner. She said at the time that “The kiss scene with Jo In Sung was the most memorable. I thought my teeth were going to break.” Jo In Sung finished his mandatory military service on May 4th and is set to return to the Korean movie/drama scene shortly.

[TRANS] Secret Garden DVD Extra - Interview


Thank you for still loving Secret Garden.
I still can't come out of Gil Ra Im's character.
I hope this drama will be a drama that will be remembered even after many years pass by.

Gil Ra Im is a stunt woman who loves action, and doesn't act girly or pretend she's pretty.
She an honest cool woman who likes to be called "cool" more than "pretty."

After the drama ended, I've received about 30 interviews.

I've filmed other projects, and I also went on an overseas trip with my family.
I caught up on all my sleep, and I ate a lot of delicious food.

A similarity with me and Ra Im is that we both like & love action,
we both prefer "you're cool" to "you're pretty" as a compliment,
we both like cappuccino, we're both not very girly, we're both slow/inexperienced at love, and we both scream in the same way ("Gyak!")

Gil Ra Im's charm is that she does action very well and her way of talking is straightforward.
She has an honest and a bit of a pure/innocent charm.

A celebrity that I admired and gave me strength (like RI with Oska) was Seotaji & Kids.
My mom bought me album posters and stickers of them. 


My first fan's dream was to be a writer, so when she/he (gender is not specified) came up to Seoul, I personally took her to bookstores, and gave her/him a tour of Seoul. Right now he/she's a writer for a radio channel.
Like Ra Im (with Ah Young), she's a fan who I still contact and hang out with even after 13 years.

At first, it was hard to act as if my heart was fluttering/throbbing with the eyes.
As a joke, I said towards the end of the drama that my I felt as if my heart was about to explode.
In the beginning, director-nim kept on filming me until my eyes showed that my heart was fluttering.
As the time went by, Ra Im began to like Joo Won so I was able to act it out more naturally.
I think there's some sort of happiness and a strange charm to acting with the eyes.
I was really happy because I was able to look at the eyes of fellow actors as much as I wanted to.

I chose projects based on scenario, then character.
Before the Secret Garden synopsis came out, I thought the idea/theme of fantasy & soul switching was mine, so I decided to do it.
There are times I choose scenarios because the title itself shined.

It was hard to act like a man, but it was fun.
I wanted it to feel more genuine and real, so I thought that
I should act like Kim Joo Won instead of like a man in general.

I thought it'd be really fun if I could soul-switch in real life, so I had a dream where I switched bodies.
I pretended my alarm clock was a bell, and I thought "oh, I'm about to switch bodies" while flailing in my bed.
"Ah~ I changed (bodies)..."


I can only cry if I think/understand 100% that I can only cry only if it is this situation.
I can never cry if I think sad thoughts that are irrelevant.
Even if the staff is quiet or loud, it doesn't bother me (when I have to cry).
I had to film a lot of emotional scenes during the dawn, so it was really regrettable that I had to film when my body was tired/weak.

Hyun Bin's first impression...
I've seen him before in private/informal (사석) occasions, but I only thought "Oh, that's Hyun Bin-sshi" during those times.
I first met him during the script reading, and I thought that he was really comfortable to be around, and I won't feel awkward no matter what I do in front of this person.
I really liked it because I really did feel comfortable around him, and I thought he was a fun friend while I filmed with him.
He's very considerate, and I really liked his eyes (눈빛, 'expression of the eyes'). His first impression was good, but I think it got even better/I liked it even more as time went by.

I hope that people will think I'm the prettiest when I smile/laugh when I'm acting.
I didn't want to ruin the nice feeling of Damo scene (in Secret Garden), so I recorded videos while filming and I practiced a lot to make it look cool. I wanted to bring out the emotion/feeling of the scene to its maximum, so I put in a lot of effort and watched the moniter/recording after every scene.
Even though 7 years has passed, I still want to look young and I worked really hard especially for that scene in order to revive the scene realistically for all of the Damo fans.

I normally smile a lot, but people around me wonder "huh? why is she smiling" and think that something good happened to me, so it made me think that I was weird so I try to stop smiling as often now.
I couldn't stop laughing when Joo Won acted as Ra Im. During the wig scene, I had to suppress my laughter the whole time while I was acting.
It was so cute and funny when Hyun Bin acted as Ra Im, so I laughed a lot.

Towards the second half, I received the scripts late, so I was disappointed for not being able to express (the emotions) to its maximum.
I think I felt more and more disappointed as the second half went by.
Not including the action scene, I has to film constantly while my body was burning,
so I kept on thinking that I could've came out prettier if I slept at least a little.
As the second half of the drama passed by, my condition got worse and I couldn't do anything about it so I was really disappointed.

I didn't think it'd be a happy ending, so I'm glad it was.
I even dreamt a dream like the ending of episode 17, where one of the characters got really sick/injured or never woke up so the other character changed souls for that person.

I want to do all of the fantasy characters that the world can come up with.
The most important thing is that whatever life the character lives, I want to act out the character realistically/genuinely.

Thank you for loving Gil Ra Im, and it hurts my heart to let Ra Im go.
Always be healthy, and even though a long time as gone by please remember Secret Garden for a long time, and whenever you want to re-watch it, I hope you'll watch it through the DVD.
 
Thank you so much for loving Secret Garden. I love you all.
