I have such a fondness for Hollywood classics, and adore once-gumiho Shin Mina (My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho). Naturally, when I get two things I love wrapped in one, that makes me one happy camper. ‘S like math. This photo shoot for Harper’s Bazaar shows Shin taking on the guise of various scenes from familiar Hollywood classics, like Bonnie and Clyde (1967), above, where she looks absolutely stunning; and looking comical below as Charlie Chaplin in the famous shoe-eating scene from The Gold Rush (1925).
The photo spread is part and parcel of a Short Film Festival, featuring five of Chungmuro’s top dogs: directors Park Chan-wook (Oldboy), Lee Hyun-seung (Blue Salt), Kim Ji-woon (I Saw the Devil), Jang Jun-hwan (Camellia), Park Jin-pyo (My Love By My Side) in a special project, where they recreate their favorite mise-en-scene (think: everything in the frame of one stellar shot from a movie) in an anthology of short films, starring Shin Mina.
Pretty cool, and not a bad way to promote a short film fest, with a big star and slew of top directors to play around with scenes we’re all familiar with, in our collective pop culture memories. Can’t wait to see the rest of the shots in the spread, and also the anthology that results.
The 10th Mise-en-scene Short Film Festival will take place at the Yongsan CGV, from June 24-30. It looks worth checking out, if you’re yunno, hopping around Korea for the summer.

RECENTLY RECAPPED
bad photoshop, first picture.
But all is forgiven because she looks so gorgeous!
lol, reminds me of “Dokko Jin’s” comments from yesterday’s episode -__-
I was just thinking that…looks a bit like she’s floating with a celestial bubble around her. But still, nice. Better than all of the bizarre ones normally.
I didn’t get the references. Is that an age thing or purely geographical?
Age.
it’s not really an age thing. if you know it, you now it.
I’m 19 and i still know what she’s talking about. If you know hollywood classics it should make perfect sense
This is fact.
Methinks it’s a cultural thing ^^
Or if you had an environment conducive to such references.
I’d say both, although obviously there will be people who know them despite being young or not American/European.
Pop culture.
Bonnie and Clyde are often referred in films (there is also a film called Bonnie), songs (Jay Z and Beyonce had a song called Bonnie and Clyde), etc.
Also Charlie Chaplin is remembered for his silent black and white films. I have a few at home.
opps….
in the message above I forgot to write that the 1967 film was called Bonnie and Clyde (you can’t just have Bonnie without Clyde)
Love her! Both pictures are awesome, but I’m really loving the first. I need a skirt like that!
Thank you so much for the write up, Girlfriday. Shin Mina looks great in the photos. I also cannot wait for the next 3 characters to be displayed.
So cute, the pictures. I miss Miho!
Diggin’ the Charlie Chaplin look. Wish I could pull off a fake man ‘stache.
Haven’t these photos already been the subject of a post a few days ago?
I remember seeing this post before the two last episodes of 49 days aired…
Nate news posted the articles and pictures on May 19.
Wow Shin Mina can pull of Charlie Chaplin quite well, who’d have thought she could look like a boy.
And love the first pic, bonnie and clyde are one of my favourites.
Guh, she’s so beautiful. Yup, it’s official: I’m still in love with Shin Mina. I hadn’t thought about her in a while, but I LOVE her. I’m going to go back now and reread ALL of the MGIAG recaps. Nobody bother me!
lololol the charlie chaplin look is funny xD I LOVE HER!!
how i wish it’s written in English. i would love to own one =)
Charlie Chaplin pic is win.
Mina is <3 !! I want her next project so bad *sigh*
Thank you for this post, girlfriday!
What a pretty coincidence, I just finished re-watching MGIAG last night and then I saw this!
Shin Mina! i want to see her in a drama again!
SM – beautiful and cute as usual.
coolest chick along with ha ji won
love the charlie chaplin pics. she is awesome.
i love shin min ah! she’s almost unrecognizable as charlie chaplin. like most of you i’m also eagerly waiting for her next project.
I hope she stays in the rom-com genre for a bit now!!! ^^ She’s done enough dramas and thrillers already, anyway XD And I’d just watch them again, because I’m really fond of her @_@~ But I’d really rather not XD
Super-like her take on Charlie Chaplin!! Hope she will make another rom-com again..
both are awesome photos. and i LOVE her shoes in the first shot!!
ahh, lovin the Chaplin reference!
i laugh at the ‘charlie chaplin’ pic….esp the one with the shoe!
I am with the majority, I want to see MinAh in another ROMCOM as the lead!!!
I love shin min ah! So pretty!
Whew… it was just a photo shoot theme.
For a second I thought you were going to say she’s going to Hollywood to be cast as a Stereotypical Asian Girl.
I love Harper’s Bazar! It usually has a great spread toward the back of the magazine.
For last year’s March issue Anna Selezneva paired up with actor Wes Bentley for Peter Lindbergh’s re-imagining of the infamous Bonnie and Clyde.
The editorial is pretty spectacular. It’s very vintage chic!
