Premiere’s Rising Stars 2008

by javabeans

On October 4, the Premiere Magazine-sponsored “Rising Star” awards ceremony was held at the Pusan International Film Festival to name its, well, rising stars.

Ha Jung-woo and Su Ae won for their performances in their recent films (thriller The Chaser and period war piece You’re Far Away, respectively). Ha said, “I’d like to become an actor who can always give his audience an entertaining movie.”

Jung Ryeo-won and Jung Kyung-ho, on the other hand, won for best new actors (My Girlfriend Has Two Faces and You’re Far Away). Seven Days director Won Shin-yeon took the directing award.

Some celebs in the audience at the ceremony included JPY, Park Jun-hyung, Ahn Sung-ki, Daniel Henney (last year’s recipient, along with Kim Ah-joong), Kim Dong-ho, and others, while the Wonder Girls performed their songs “Nobody” and “Tell Me.”

Awards were presented by actors Jung Jun-ho and Eugene; winners Su Ae, Jung Ryeo-won, Jung Kyung-ho, and Ha Jung-woo wave at the cameras:

Looks like a boring event.

Only five(?) awards were giving out?

This didn't last 2 hours did it?

Sarah - Did you ever watch Never Forever starring Vera Fermiga and Ha Jung Woo? The critics didn't like it too much but I really enjoyed it.

Even though Jung Ryeo Won is as skinny as a stick and scarily so, she has really nice style. I just wish she would fill out a bit more.

whoa, you can tell Jung Ryeo-won is scary skinny cuz there doesnt seem to be any flesh on her upper arms, although strangely that armband thing is pinching the skin on her left arm..

Congrats to Jung Kyung-ho for winning best new actor. He's certainly improved a lot since I'm Sorry I Love You days. I loved him in Time of Dog and Wolf... <3

Jung Ryeo-won's been around for years too, but they tend to mean new film actor (versus dramas) and treat it more as "breakthrough" new role, not just any role.
