At the recording, Ha Ji Won – who played the love interest of Jo In Sung and So Ji Sub in the drama — said, “When I first received the drama’s script, I couldn’t understand my character, so I had a hard time focusing on my acting. I think out of all of the characters I’ve taken on so far, she was the most unique.”

About not having a single scandal with beautiful actresses Jeon Ji-hyeon, Son Ye-jin, Seong Yoo-ri, Song Hye-kyo and more, he said, "I don't think they think of me as an opposing actor. I never drew a line, they did".

Also, about Seong Yoo-ri's recent claim that she only kept in contact with Cha Tae-hyeon from their movie "First Love of a Royal Prince" he induced laughter by saying, "Is it really just me? Yoo-ri, why did you live your life like that?"

When he was asked who he wanted to act with he said, "I am not picky. If Sin Se-kyeong, Park Min-yeong and Lee Min-jeong say OK then I am always ready. But I guess they would prefer to act with a single man and not me".

EXPLOSION OF GENUINE ACTION CHARISMA - in-depth interview with Sector 7's Ha Ji Won

[Sector 7] is a movie that belongs to Ha Ji Won, for Ha Ji Won, by Ha Ji Won. And the girl knows it too. A movie that had been one of Ha Ji Won’s goals, as she climbed up the drillship of [Sector 7]. This ”Strongest Lady to the Max’, never been seen before in Korean movies. How she has a face-off with a monster as she stands on the drillship, an island towering above the vast sea, like a precipitous cliff above nothingness, above all expectations that all audience have of her. “That woman will definitely destroy that monster!” To become the warrior girl Cha Hae Joon, Ha Ji Won said “I did everything I could”. Just looking at her wearing her loose-fitting drillship clothes, one figures as much. She spent 7 months to train her body, earn a biking license and become a certified scuba diver, to convince viewers that even her muscles are firmer than men. She’s amazing? This, is just the beginning.

Interview: Ha Ji-won and Korea's first 3D movie

Korea's biggest action star says she misses melodramas and romantic comedies 

By Hyo-won Lee 8-August-2011

Despite her new tomboyish image, Ha Ji-won is still a girly girl inside.

Groundbreaking 3D IMAX visuals, successful international sales and highly criticized story aside, action flick “Sector 7,” which opened this past weekend, has quickly become the film du jour for creating a new archetype for Korean female screen personas.

To date, Korean cinema has remained largely conservative in terms of female leads, largely in the manner of 1950s Hollywood. Women are usually portrayed as either an asexual Audrey Hepburn or a sultry Marilyn Monroe, with a small gray zone for a few quirky, intelligent Katharine Hepburn types.
