Ha Ji Won Hands Out Coal + Photos

While normally, getting coal in the winter doesn′t have a good connotation, Ha Ji Won managed to make nice and became a veritable Santa with her coal deliveries.

On October 22, Ha Ji Won held a ‘coal briquette fanmeeting’ by bringing her internet fan café 1023 in for volunteer work to deliver coal briquettes at Seoul’s Jeonwon Maeul. The volunteer work celebrated the fan café’s 12th anniversary, and took place with the help of many fans who had been preparing the event for a long time.

Jeonwon Maeul is an area which is not supported by the government, as the homes in the area are said to be ‘unauthorized’. As a result, many senior citizens who live alone and other disadvantaged peoples are left to weather the bitter winter cold on their own. The area was also hit by the Umyeonsan avalanche earlier this year, but still was unable to receive proper compensation for restoration.

STARRING in creature feature Sector 7, billed as South Korea’s first 3D actioner (not available in 3D here, though), Ha Ji-won impressed the director so much that he felt that the movie could not be made without an actress like her.

Known as South Korea’s Angelina Jolie, Ha’s intense performance in Sector 7 (released in August in South Korea) has won her rave reviews from moviegoers in the country who have compared her performance to Sigourney Weaver’s in Hollywood science fiction blockbuster Aliens (1986).

Netizens have stated, “Looking at how Ha Ji Won seems surprised, I wonder if she is receiving a romantic advance from an Englishman,” “This must be a picture of Ha Ji Won on a secret date,” and “They look so cute smiling together.”

According to X Sports News, the Englishman approached Ha Ji Won while she was taking a break from filming. He tried to get a date with her. Ha Ji Won talked to the young man for a bit, laughed, and rejected him. The reason was that she was 10 years older than him. The man said, “I thought she was younger than me or around my age,” and made everyone on the filming set laugh.

3 elements make Ha Ji Won so adorable

September 21, 2011 by bakeun

Korean actress Ha Ji Won enjoys a high fame in both local and international entertainment sector. It has been said by the media that every production with her participation would never disappoint the audience. But what makes Ha Ji Won so adorable to both female and male audience? Here the author of this post would like to share 3 elements that Ha Ji Won possesses.

1. Extraordinary beauty

Needless to say, every fan of Ji Won should at least be attracted because of her unusual sense of beauty. In drama , Ji Won was playing the role Jin Yi, who is a famous female poet as well a Geisha in Korean history. Her eyes and smile is just lucrative and seductive, which even women would praise her at her extraordinary beauty.

2. Professional performance

Not only her beauty, her professional performance towards acting is highly appreciated by her colleagues and production teams. In drama again, in order to perform ancient Korean Geisha dance, she have been practicing days and night; and her performance has been proved to be as professional as a real dancer. In preparing for the new movie , as taking a role of the country representative on table tennis, she keeps practicing 4 hours a day. (Indeed, she has no prior knowledge on table tennis!!) in order to make her performance professional.
