ni hero ke ni??? apasal aku tak kenal mamat ni ?
dia pernah berlakun cite?..tak pernah tengok pun .... cam tak berapa nak hensem je ....
Hero ni (Yoo Ji Tae) tak pernah berlakon drama series. Dia berlakon movies je. Kalau kayla pernah tengok Oldboy.. dialah yang jadi jahat tu.. Lagi dia berlakon filem Running Wild dengan KSW, Ditto dengan Kim Ha Neul, Traces of Love dengan Kim Ji Soo and paling baru, tahun lepas.. filem HwangJini dengan Song Hye Kyo.
Quite an established actor.. especially sebab berlakon dalam Oldboy (terkenal internationally).. memang ramai drama fans yang tak kenal dia.. tapi he's tall.. ramai yang dah suka sebab sesuai dengan JW. Tapi.. YJT ni dah ada steady girlfriend.. Kim Hyo Jin.. dia berlakun dalam EHAS, jadi adik Jiwoo. Small world.
BH walaupun more senior dari YJT.. dia admire this actor sebab YJT ni berbakat dalam directing. Mungkin lepas ni dia akan more into directing pulak.
Story Highlights
South Korean actor Lee Byung-hun is starting to connect with global audiences
The "James Dean of Asia" sizzles in Korean western "The Good, the Bad, the Weird"
Lee is due to make his Hollywood debut in next summer's blockbuster "G.I. Joe"
By Grace Wong
For CNN
LONDON, England (CNN) -- Lee Byung-hun's arrival in the packed auditorium at a London screening of his latest film, "The Good, The Bad, The Weird," causes a well-behaved sizzle of excitement to run through the largely female and Asian audience.
His name is whispered breathlessly between friends, but in a classic display of Asian politeness, the only indication there is a genuine heartthrob in the room are a couple of poorly contained shrieks. Tall, exquisitely chiseled and with the kind of smooth line-free skin that belies his 38 years, it's not hard to see why Lee is also known as the "James Dean of Asia."
In his native South Korea he is best known for brooding, soulful performances in romantic films and TV dramas. And, now, he is starting to make a name for himself outside Korea and Japan.
Lee is set to grace UK screens in January when Kim Jee-woon's so-called Kimchi western, "The Good, the Bad, the Weird," is released.
Next year will see him co-star with Josh Hartnett in the crime thriller "I Come with the Rain," directed by Vietnamese Tran Anh Hung who made his name on the global movie scene in 1993 with "The Scent of Green Papaya." Lee has also wrapped up filming on the highly anticipated Hollywood action flick, "G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra."
Lee is in London to promote "The Good, the Bad, the Weird," and is polite and unassuming in person, taking time to reflect as he delivers his responses in English. "People told me, 'Your eyes changed. You look so bad,'" Lee says of playing the film's titular "Bad," a sadistic killer who heads up a gang of bandits. "I was so happy about that."
From his black leather-clad hands to his wild, psychotic eyes, an air of cool, remorseless detachment envelops him. In a review, Variety described Lee's eyes as "commanding" and having a "Korean psycho-gangster mentality."
It is an unsettling performance, and one of the film's many highlights.
After playing primarily romantic leads, Lee says playing a villain was a refreshing experience for him and something he'd been thinking about for his entire acting career. "Actors always want to play the villain role at least once in their life. I had a good time because I could finally realize a full range of expressions and emotions," he told CNN.
Set in the 1930s, the film follows three Korean outlaws on a chase across the desert plains of Japan-occupied Manchuria on a hunt for a legendary treasure map.
The movie hits on a trifecta: It stars three of South Korea's leading actors (Lee is joined on screen by Song Kang-ho and Jung Woo-sung), has a massive $17 million budget and is helmed by the award-winning Kim.
With stunning wide shots of endless horizons filmed in China's Gobi Desert and edge-of-your-seat action from start to finish, Kim's homage to Sergio Leone's 1966 classic "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly," with more than a hint of "Indiana Jones" delivers a steady stream of adrenaline. Have you seen "The Good, The Bad, The Weird?" What did you think?
Lee says his character was perfected through several conversations, discussions and arguments with Kim, a close friend who also directed him in 2005's "A Bittersweet Life."
Everybody has bad characters in their mind, even if it may be small or in their subconscious, Lee explains, referring to his preparation for the role. "Of course, I have that kind of character inside of me, I think. So, I amplified my bad side. But the main thing is the mind, I think, which comes from the inside," he told CNN.
This role is the screen idol's latest step in a slow break out from "type," since his turn as an enforcer for an underworld boss in the film noir "A Bittersweet Life."
In South Korea, where celebrities are closely scrutinized by the public and Internet gossip is rampant, Lee, who is a target because of his film star status, says he tries his best to steer clear of online chatter.
The spread of rumors over the Web is one of the biggest problems that exists in South Korea. The recent suicide of one of the nation's leading actresses was blamed on online gossip. "There has to be change," Lee said. "I try not to read those kinds of things. I think it's better to do that."
This may have been easier for him recently, as he has been busy working on projects outside of South Korea, although, he says these too hold their challenges.
Working in Hollywood was difficult, especially acting in English which, says Lee, made it harder for him to focus on his emotions and expressions.
Lee plays Storm Shadow in the action movie "G.I. Joe," which is due for release next summer. The movie, based on the popular comic and cartoon series, boasts a star-studded cast, including Sienna Miller and Dennis Quaid. "Everything was so different. It was really hard," he said about filming "G.I. Joe." "But it was a very good experience for me."
He's now back in Korea working but isn't ruling out the possibility of returning to Hollywood. He says he could envision going back and forth between South Korea and the U.S.
"Of course, if they have good projects for me, then I would participate."

Yup! Semua betul! All in one!
And KHJ .. memang ada 2 scene panas dengan BH dalam EHAS.. walaupun not exposed to the camera. Dia sebenarnya still very young.. dengan boyfriend dia, YJT.. beza 8 tahun tapi still ok lagi they all ni. Masa YJT dapat Masters degree dia a few months ago, KHJ datang raikan sama. Walaupun very low-profile, sekali sekala bila keluar function .. macam masa wedding KSW.. dua2 datang pegang tangan.
Tapi... now.. ni.. semuanya tak tentu sangat.. couple2 ni.. tetiba boleh break je.
Clip Wonder Girls nyanyi "Nobody" di Blue Dragon last week.. teka.. siapa yang one of the girls tunjuk at the end of the song .. masa they all turun stage sekejap..
dengarnye spillberg & will smith nak wat remake oldboy...
US ni suka beno wat remake movie korea/jepun tapi biasanye tak meletup pun ...
original gak yg best ...
dorang gi wedding sangwoo oppa ..tak perasan lak gambar dorang ....
betul tu ... tengah elok2 couple tetiba break ... kita lak yg beria2 sedih ...
wonder girls tu tunjuk kat BH oppa ke ?

Dengar2nya macam tulah..
Filem BH.. Addiction dah siap remake.. jadi Possession (Sarah Michelle Geller & Lee Pace) tapi.. terus senyap cerita tu.. tak ada sambutan. Filem Yoo Ji Tae, Into the Mirror.. remake jadi Mirrors (Kiefer Sutherland).. pun sama.. tak ada impact. Yang palingteruk.. remake My Sassy Girl.. langsung.. tak menarik.. tak ingat apa tajuknya and siapa pelakon..
Itu Oldboy.. maybe ok.. kot2lah sebab under Spielberg & Will Smith.. sebelum ni Bollywood dah ciplak Oldboy awal2 lagi. Lagi 2 filem BH.. A Bittersweet Life dan JSA pun dah ready untuk jual untuk remake tapi belum lagi dengar apa2 berita setakat ni...
Tulah dia.. agak2nya berharap nasib baik buat remake ni.. mana tahu boleh menang Oscar macam 'The Departed' yang remake dari Infernal Affairs, kan..

Yoo Ji Tae (Oldboy) & girlfriend, Kim Hyo Jin (EHAS) masa wedding KSW-STY. Walaupun couple ni tak banyak berita langsung compared dengan ex-couple LSJ-KEJ, so far they all lebih consistent dan tak kecoh2 pasal nak kahwin, etc.

Sebenarnya katt first time tengok WG perform dan dengar lagu mereka di Blue Dragon tu (katt tertinggal keretapi).. masa tengok clip tu, ada BH at the end.. bila tengok banyak kali dan compare dengan clip lain yang ada tunjuk BH di tempat audience.. rasa..macam kena je. Sebab dia memang duduk di row tengah, tepi sekali sebab senang nak pergi backstage jadi presenter. And also dia one of the nominees for Best Actor.. jadi duduk agak dekat dengan stage.
Check punya check, tanya punya tanya.. memang sah. Fans WG pun cakap memang tunjuk pada BH. Kebetulan ada article in Korean yang sebut pasal ni. Something yang surprising masa performance tu tapi BH sporting je.. lagipun, kalau tak silap.. dia suka WG and the girls tu pun minat pada BH..
perasan kat gambar KHJ tapi aku dah salah org la ...
ingat sbb aku mmg pelik tengok dia pakai baju camnak gi office ...
tapi salah org ..ingatkan 2nd heroin drama bodyguard tu ...
pakai spek besar sgt ...

Oldboy ada versi bollywood ???...camne tu ??? incest semua tu camne ...dorang ubah kot ...
tulah ...since spielberg yg direct , harap ok lah jadinye .. tapi will smith jadi ahjusshi tu ???? tak dapat nak bayang ...
the departed tu yg leo berlakun tu ke? since dok tengok cite korea & jepun ni aku dah jarang tengok movie US ...

ooo ...gitu ceritanye ...siap disertakan ngan bukti lagi tu
which one of the girl yg berani sungguh dok tunjuk kat oppa kita ni ?
Menurut fans WG.. Ye Eun.. kayla familiar dengan they all ni?
katt rasa.. the one yang menyanyi sebelum tu.. kan gilir2 jadi lead singer kat tengah2. Sori.. kalau serkap jarang.. memang tak pernah tengok WG ni.. so, tak tahu siapa main singer.. dsb.
Tapi.. yang pasti.. WG memang pilih someone (=honey) yang tepat.. .. and BH pun suka.. malu2 senyum dia.. tapi suka. At least dalam clip tu.. nampaklah dia enjoy performance tu.. taklah serious sangat.

Fans memang pelik tengok Korean celebrities bila pergi wedding.. pakai.. sempoi betul. Lepas tu.. selalu pakai warna hitam, tak ada warna lain yang ceria2. Lepas tu.. male celebs boleh pulak pakai jeanslah, pakai topi, etc (even perempuan pun ada).. casual sesangat. From talks di forum2..kononnya.. hitam tu senang nak fit dengan yang lain, taklah menonjol sangat. Tapi bila semua orang pakai hitam, langsung tak ceria.. hari cerah pun jadi mendung. Even if orang kata .. tak mau "lawan" bride/groom.. tapi still.. apasalah pakai cantik.. sebab majlis pun majlis yang gembira.
So far, BH paling consistent bila pergi wedding.. mesti pakai suit (kekadang ada tie, kekadang tak) tapi mesti suit kemas dan bersesuaian.
Macam kita di Malaysia dan tempat2 lain juga.. selain Korea.. kalau pergi weddings, mesti pakai lawa2 & bersesuaian.. macam rayalah jugak.

Ye Eun yea ...nanti aku gi tengok muka dia kat AC ...
