Fashion King starts filming with Yoo Ah-in

javabeans — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 18:01:50 +0000

SBS’s upcoming drama Fashion King has begun shooting, and here are some cuts from the recent shoot. Could Yoo Ah-in be any cuter? I love his deer-in-headlights look here as he dangles from a third-story window, 10 meters above the ground.

The scene called for some wire action work, and went through approximately twenty takes of Yoo jumping from the building. Afterward, Yoo admitted, “I knew there would be a wire scene today, but I didn’t know I’d be the one jumping. It was a little scary, but it was fun shooting a drama again after such a long while.” (It’s been over a year since his last drama, Sungkyunkwan Scandal, wrapped in November 2010.)

Fashion King holds its first script rehearsal

javabeans — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 14:29:26 +0000

I sincerely hope everybody’s in character at this Fashion King script reading, because man, is that a collection of pissy faces or what? Then again, I’m not sure I want to watch a drama populated by characters wearing pissy faces, even if we’ve got Yoo Ah-in (Sungkyunkwan Scandal) leading the charge.

Let’s just hope the collective cranky comes from holding the drama’s initial rehearsal on Christmas Eve. In attendance, other than Yoo, were Shin Se-kyung (Tree With Deep Roots) in the leading lady role, with hot rising film star Lee Je-hoon as a supporting character. (Seriously? Lee Je-hoon is gonna be huge. He’s taken home five awards so far this year, for his roles in war film The Front Line and the dark indie drama Bleak Night. Other titles on his filmography include Gong Yoo’s rom-com Finding Kim Jong-wook and the queer film Just Friends.) Filling out the main quartet is SNSD member Yuri in her first drama role.

SNSD’s Yuri up for Fashion King alongside Yoo Ah-in

javabeans — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 19:09:43 +0000

With one female lead rumored to be Shin Se-kyung, idol singer Yuri of SNSD is now the leading contender for the other female lead to romance Yoo Ah-in in upcoming fashion drama Fashion King.

According to a statement by an SM Entertainment rep on the 17th, Yuri has received the offer and is positively considering taking it, which would mean that she’d be joining groupmates Yoon-ah and Sooyoung in taking on acting projects in the new year. (Yoon-ah’s got the melodrama Love Rain on her slate, Sooyoung has TV Chosun’s Speed.)

Yoo Ah-in returns to dramaland?

girlfriday — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 04:18:38 +0000

girlfriday: Somebody pinch me. Is Yoo Ah-in returning to television?

javabeans: But… Fashion King?! The show that died, launched a lawsuit alleging plagiarism, and then slunk away when Cinderella Man flopped spectacularly?

girlfriday: Well apparently it didn’t die. It hasn’t been confirmed, but he’s rumored to be cast as the lead, and the drama is slated to premiere on SBS in March, following Salaryman. I thought when I first read the title that it’d be more like Yoo Ah-in the model, not Yoo Ah-in the small-time clothing vendor (apparently the character opens up a little stand in Dongdaemun Market and works his way up from nothing).

Yoo Ah-in goes geek chic

girlfriday — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 09:11:55 +0000

I know — more Yoo Ah-in? But when is that ever a bad thing? Here he is, sporting some dandified looks for menswear line ZIOZIA, making him look surprisingly mature. I would’ve guessed Yoo Ah-in in a suit would be like a little kid playing dress-up, but sometimes, the suit makes the man. I have to say though, the geeky glasses are pretty much the entire reason for this post. He’s channeling some Gong Yoo in a major way, and it’s making me crazy.

Yoo Ah-in in fall/winter fashion for Bazaar

girlfriday — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 09:13:07 +0000

I rather like the way Yoo Ah-in cleans up. He still retains enough of his badboy streak to stay left of center, and remain intriguing. Or perhaps I’m just helpless at the sight of his pouty lips. His new film Wandeuki opens today, and if the trailer is any indication, it looks funny, heartwarming, and bitingly sarcastic. My kind of movie.

16th Busan International Film Festival’s opening red carpet

javabeans — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 17:57:52 +0000

The 16th Busan International Film Festival opened on October 6, and the red carpet to the opening screening — So Ji-sub and Han Hyo-joo’s tragic romance Only You — was awash with stars.

(For those of you used to seeing the festival called PIFF, it recently changed its spelling. The festival is in its 16th year and began back when the city was spelled Pusan. The spelling of the southern city officially changed to Busan in 2000, but the festival kept its former spelling, which naturally led to some confusion. Yeah, the Korean romanization system changes hasn’t been the most easy to follow.)

It’s been a while since we’ve had a big, star-packed red carpet, but this reminds me that we’re heading into awards season, and will soon be seeing lots of events like this. Which means, lots and lots of red carpets to ooh over, or, as the case may be, snark.

There were some questionable outfits (always fun), but overall I really like what I saw, even if there was an overwhelming trend toward leg slits Up To There and a good amount of side-boob. But the colors! Yay for colors!

Yoo Ah-in’s teacher bromance in Wandeuki

girlfriday — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 20:04:16 +0000

Here’s a sneak peek at Yoo Ah-in in his upcoming film Wandeuki, where he plays a wayward fist-throwing high school delinquent who meets an unusual homeroom teacher in Kim Yoon-seok (The Chaser, Jeon Woo Chi). The unlikely friendship that forms between a kooky teacher and an angry teenager ends up changing both of their lives in unexpected ways. It looks heartwarming without being precious, and therefore totally awesome.

Yoo Ah-in as a high school brawler in Wan-deuk-yi

girlfriday — Sun, 08 May 2011 03:14:17 +0000

Here’s a look at Yoo Ah-in‘s (Sungkyunkwan Scandal) next project, where he stars as the titular Wan-deuk-yi in a coming-of-age tale based on a manhwa of the same name. (The character’s name is Wan-deuk, and “yi” is what you’d add at the end of it if you’re the same age or older, like Kang-ah.)

It’ll be his first starring role in a film, much-deserved since he’s been the scene-stealer and fan favorite for many of his projects in the last few years. Though Sungkyunkwan broke him out into the limelight, he seems to be interested in taking on challenging roles, even if to change up expectations.

More Yoo Ah-in for Jack & Jill + Nylon

girlfriday — Mon, 25 Apr 2011 19:10:22 +0000

Because we could all use a little more Yoo Ah-in in our day. Need there be another reason? Also, did the title of this post give anyone else math anxiety? It’s a little too math-y for my taste, but that’s the name of the hybrid campaign, so what am I gonna do, rename it?

More stills have been released for Yoo Ah-in’s massive multi-city shoot for fashion brand Jack & Jill and magazine Nylon, much of which was captured for his Launch My Life series on Mnet. Below is the official CF released by Jack & Jill, shot in Vegas and Los Angeles:
