In the picture, she is wearing a diving suit. She isn't wearing make up and the way she is slightly leaning forward makes her look cute.

Meanwhile, Ha Ji-won received diving lessons from Cool's Lee Jae-hoon. "Sector 7" a movie about a crew on the oil drill ship 'Eclipse' fighting with an unknown creature in the middle of the sea will be released on the 4th of August.

[NEWS] Ha Ji-won goes scuba diving for Sector 7.

Ha Ji-won‘s new movie Sector 7 is an action-thriller creature feature (think The Host at sea) that takes place on an oil rig, and as part of her training for the role, Ha was certified as a skin scuba diver.

In these photos recently released by Ha’s management, she received her license last year in Saipan, where she went to dive at some world-famous locales, including the Grotto. Apparently Ha has a fear of swimming, despite her athletic tendencies; to prepare for her diving trip to Saipan, she received a pretty hardcore training regimen from Lee Jae-hoon, member of the old pop group Cool who also happens to be a skin scuba instructor. Nice to have friends with diverse skill sets, yeah?

Diving is one of those things that intrigues and freaks the bejeezus out of me, so props to Ha Ji-won to tackling it despite her fears. And while I doubt that very much of her movie includes this skill — it’s mostly a run-from-the-monster-and-also-try-to-kill-it action flick — it’s cool to see her in action underwater.

Sector 7 releases on August 4.

[IMG] Jiwonie goes underwater!

Ha Ji Won will be playing Cha Hae Joon on the upcoming 3D action film, Sector 7, this August 4 and as Hancinema/News Nate mentioned on their last article about our Jiwonie, she even got licenses for scuba diving and riding a motorcycle because the character she'll be playing happens to be good at both and to quote them...
"Also, to ride a motorcycle like a whiz which is also a hobby of Hae-joon's she got a scuba diving and motorcycle license." (See full article here.)
Yet another way of showing how dedicated she is to her work. :) According to f927 (Soompi), these photos of Ha Ji Won taking her scuba diving certification in Saipan are currently trending on the news.. check it out~
