8th Jecheon International Music & Film Festival

It’s been four years (eep!) since the last time I wrote about Jecheon International Music & Film Festival, mostly because it’s not the most exciting of events. But the inclusion of Yoon Eun-hye into any red carpet automatically kicks it up a notch on the scale of interesting, no?

The festival’s now in its 8th year, and held its opening red carpet on August 9 in the city of Jecheon, which is located not far from Seoul in northern Chungcheongbuk province. It’s unique in that the festival celebrates both film and music; there are separate programs for both, as well as music-themed films, and live music stages.

Frankly I’m more into the live performances: Divided into themed nights (hip-hop night, acoustic night, etc.) the various stages feature artists like DJ Clazzi of Clazziquai, rock-electronic band Handsome People, rock band Yellow Monsters, hip-hoppers Dynamic Duo, now-solo artist Jay Park, singer-songwriter Lee Juck, rock band The Koxx, fusion gukak-classical-pop musicians Second Moon, melodic rockers Monni, indie band Zitten, and Top Band competitive-reality-show winners Toxic. Damn damn damn. *Jealous of anyone who can go.*

Lee Yoon-ji emceed the event, having been its promotional rep last year. The opening film was Searching from Sugar Man (a Swedish/UK project by director Malik Bendjelloul); the festival includes films from the U.S., U.K, Europe, Argentina, and other countries. JIMFF closes on August 15.

 
Yoon Eun-hye (Lie To Me) hasn’t been out and about much since her last project, and she always causes a stir when she shows up to red carpets. I’m not sure I quite understand the fit of her futuristic-asymmetrical-structured top (that pointy end makes me think of a fishtail pinned to her hem), but the overall effect is chic and elegant. Classic Yoon Eun-hye.


 
Gah, so glam and perfect. Even without the tan, Lee Yoon-ji (The King 2 Hearts) glows and the look is definite golden goddess. I almost wish she’d gone full-on whimsical with braided hair and a flower coronet (you know, to scream, I’m a frolicking goddess!), even if that might’ve skewed too literal.


 

Kim Dong-wook (Partner) and Kang Ye-won (Quick) are the official promotional representatives for this year’s festival so the first photo is the promo still.


 

Kim So-eun (A Thousand Kisses) is too adorable to be real. She’s like a tiny kitten. Whose best friend is a unicorn that sprays rainbows from its horn. Love the casual pink dress, and the hair that’s sort of hard to see from these photos, which is braided in a circular pattern on top. She’s all pint-sized charm and bubbly energy and should really, really choose better dramas.


 
Gu Hye-sun (Take Care of Us, Captain) came with her director’s hat on (er, figuratively), since her film Peach Tree is screening; she came with child actors from her project.

 
I feel like I want to nag Jung Eui-chul (Shut Up: Flower Boy Band) to neaten up his ensemble or get a better fit, but then that brought to mind the image of a guy wasting away from recent illness and coming back to the public eye with his old clothes, which now hang lifelessly. And you can’t scold a guy who hypothetically came back from the brink, even if that’s only in your imagination, can you? In other news: He looks more and more like Jo Hyun-jae by the day.

 
Aw, Kim Woo-bin (Vampire Idol). Since I’m constructing fictional narratives in my head, why do I feel like nobody bothered to tell the newbie that this wasn’t a formal affair and that he could leave his black tie at home? And so he put on his best threads, and didn’t realize he was overdressed till he got to the party? Still, nobody’s going to complain when you show up to anything wearing a sharp tux. Even if it’s just to do your grocery shopping. Or maybe especially then.

 
Yoo In-young (You’re Here, You’re Here, You’re Really Here) and Choi Woo-shik (Rooftop Prince). He’s so cute. I had to look up his age and was shocked that he was a 1990-er, even though yes, he has the babiest baby face ever. Boy’s just happy to be on the arm of sexy noona, yeah?

 
Veteran actor Ahn Sung-ki (Pace Maker, Broken Arrow), he of the hundred-plus credits on his filmography, always a welcome face.

 
How cute is Jo Sung-ha (Romance Town, Bleak Night)? He’s known as a “flower-man ajusshi” (er, the ajusshi version of the flower boy), which does sound ever-so-slightly less terrible in Korean, though sometimes he gets boyish and kid-like. Cute.

 
This is the most polished I’ve ever seen film actress Ji Sung-won (Bedevilled) look at a red carpet: she’s had a run of interesting looks at awards shows. Perchance she finally got herself a new stylist?

 
And Kim In-kwon (Quick), always ready to steal a scene for a laugh:

Is she still apart of the casting? I didn't see photos of her at the script reading. But Jo Bora was there which made me think that maybe she was casted instead.

Yes she is still past of the cast. The pics with the acupuncture training was not the script reading just acupuncture training. She didn't need to be there, I think, because she's playing a princess. Jo Boa is cast as another member, a widow who is the daughter in law of one of Jo Seung Woo's antis but supports him nonetheless.

Check out "The Man Who Can't Get Married" - which is one of the top K-drama romcoms.

Javabeans, your description of Kim So Eun that had me falling off my chair. "A tiny kitten. Who's best friend is a unicorn that sprays rainbows from it's horn." I just finished watching TMWCM, and that is indeed an apt description!

Thanks for covering this!

Yoon Eun Hye, I love you! How about you pick a GREAT darma to star in soon? But while you're waiting for the right script, how about a guest spot on Running Man. You know that the whole world wants to see Jong Kook Oppa's reaction. It's time for the strongest couple to reunite!

Yoon Eun-hye sure lights up the red carpet.
Kim So-eun's pink dress is a little too casual , but she is sweet.
Love Gu Hye-sun's director outfit with that slight feminine touch.

"She’s all pint-sized charm and bubbly energy and should really, really choose better dramas."

-- Kim So-eun did pick one excellent drama, 'The Man Who Can't Get Married" starring Ji Jin hee.

One of the top K-drama romcoms.

When I 1st saw pics of KSE from BOF stills - I thought she was cute, but nothing to get all crazy over.

But after I finally saw her in TMWCGM, I got it - the girl is cute as a button (esp. when she smiles or looks up).

She was fantastic in TMWCGM but her 8 eps in Iron Empress was where she shined most for me. She was so commanding and strong-willed. That's why I'm so excited for her role in Horse Healer!

Required fields are marked *

The girl is likeable. The first time I laid my eyes on her was in BOF.

But when i saw her in Empress Chunchu/Iron empress, I totally fell in love with her.

And yeah, The Man Who Can’t Get Married is an excellent drama. But I think the drama is underrated. She's was really good.

And after that, her dramas are aweful.

I have the exact same thoughts on Jung Eui-chul. As soon as I scrolled down, the thoughts of Jo Hyun-jae came to my mind. They look so similar! Well, I guess that explains why I adore both of them.

Three of my very favorites, Yoon Eun Hye, Goo Hye Sun, and Lee Yoon Ji all together at the same place! I wonder if Hye Sun spent any time with her to ex co-stars Yoon Ji and Kim Seo Eun? :)

By the way, I think Yoon Ji looked the most amazing. Hye Sun is still in director mode. One day, she'll reveal her feminine self again and rule the red carpet... ;)

Totalmente de acuerdo con la descripción....Kim So Eun es adorable hasta los extremos....linda, fresca, talentosa, amable y chispeante. También, espero que Horse Healer sea la oportunidad en que ella demuestre la gran actriz que es y que su papel, aunque secundario, destaque.
