Synopsis
Based on true events, the story is about a large 69-ton fishing boat’s crew as they attempt to smuggle in illegal migrants in order to keep their fishing jobs. But their plan goes wrong when they meet a tragic accident while transporting the thirty or so illegal migrants on the ship amid a heavy sea fog. And amid the chaos, the youngest crew Dong-sik tries to protect a young female migrant who he falls in love with against the crazed Captain Kang and other crew members.

Director’s Comment
Based on a true event that took place in Yeosu, 2001, HAEMOO is a combination genre film that fuses crime thriller and melodrama. Ordinary fishermen face moments of hell as they take on the role of smuggling illegal Korean-Chinese migrants. Stuck in thick sea fog, I wanted to portray the innocence and personal sacrificial love that rise from clashing of this generation’s pain, human desire, human desire and morality in a moment of grave adversity.

[TRANS] 140813 Park Yoochun Mentions TVXQ.. “I Hope We Can All Have A Drink Together One Day”

“Two tried to stay while three tried to leave. I hope all of us are happy right now…”

This is what Park Yoochun had to say about JYJ’s split from TVXQ, a group that recently celebrated its 10th anniversary, five years ago.

In an interview with edaily StarIn ahead of the release of ‘Sea Fog’, Park Yoochun was asked to rate his activities since the dissolution of TVXQ, to which he replied, “I was happy.” He continued to add, “But as time went on, I began to think, ‘What was it all for?’ It was probably a choice we all made for ourselves as individuals. Even the ill feelings I once had towards them are gone now. I truly hope that all of us are happy right now.”

chunniereminisce

Park Yoochun said, “I’m really excited to see the drama ‘Night Watchmen’, which Yunho appears in.” ‘Night Watchmen’ is MBC’s current Monday-Tuesday drama that began airing after the end of ‘Triangle’, which JYJ’s Kim Jaejoong appeared in.

Park Yoochun reminisced about his old colleagues as he said, “I hope it all works out for all five of us,” and “If we’re able to get together and have a glass of soju together one day, even that alone would be great, don’t you think?”

TVXQ made their debut in 2004 with ‘HUG’ and released a stream of hits such as ‘O-Jung.Ban.Hap’ and ‘MIROTIC’, becoming the most popular Korean idol group ever. Since splitting into a two-membered TVXQ and three-membered JYJ due to problems with their contract, they have been expanding their activities to the drama, movie and musical industries, showcasing their prevailing popularity and influence.

Park Yoochun recently made a comeback as both a singer and actor. JYJ released their second full-length album on the 29th of July and held their Seoul concert on the 9th. His first movie ‘Sea Fog’ was released on the 13th.

‘Sea Fog’ is based on a play that follows six sailors as their boat is flooded by a group of stowaways. In the movie, Park Yoochun plays Dong Shik, the youngest crew member who falls in love with Hong Mae (Han Yaeri), who becomes a stowaway to find her lost brother.

[News] 140806 Park Yoochun Talks About Unconditional Love and Envying His Character in “Sea Fog”

yoochunshanghaifanmeet5

JYJ member and actor Park Yoochun touched on the subject of love during a recent interview about his latest film “Sea Fog.”

On August 5, the star sat down with news outlet Asia Economy to talk about his thoughts on the movie. He began by confessing, “Dong Sik, who I play in ‘Sea Fog,’ is very naive. He is the type of person that I have always admired.”

“Since the beginning of middle school, I have earned money by myself. I have carried the responsibility for my life since then, and seeing Dong Sik take care of his grandmother and work hard jobs, I noticed similarities between Dong Sik and myself,” the talent continued.

“Although me and Dong Sik share a number of traits, we are still very different. I like his way of taking rapid action thanks to his simple way of thinking and his way of pushing forward with his plans. I envy him, and I think our era needs people like him. There are not many people like Dong Sik, I think,” he confessed.

“‘Sea Fog’ is a movie that the current era needs. It shows pure and innocent love that you do not see in our modern society,” the actor said, and revealed his yearning for unconditional love, “Nowadays, people consider the terms before looking at the person, but Dong Sik and Hong Mae (Han Ye Ri) love each other unconditionally. I miss that kind of love, and I am jealous of them.”

“Sea Fog” starring Park Yoochun premieres on August 13.

Actor Kim Yoon Seok showered Park Yoochun, his ‘Sea Fog’ co-star, with high praise.

Kim Yoon Seok continued with his high praise for Park Yoochun by saying, “He’s extremely sincere about his acting, and I think he’s going to have a long and bright career as an actor.”

Meanwhile, ‘Sea Fog’ depicts the struggles of six sailors as fate leads them to a boat of North Korean refugees, spiralling them into a situation that they had never expected.

[NEWS] 1140319 JYJ’s Park Yoo Chun gained a lot while filming ‘Sea Fog’

chunniescanssinglesmagazine7

JYJ’s Park Yoo Chun was recently featured in the latest issue of fashion magazine ‘Singles’, where he was photographed at the film set of his current drama ‘Three Days’, while also revealing his thoughts about filming in the accompanying interview.

On the day of the shoot, Park Yoo Chun was seen constantly in dialogue with director Shin Kyung Soo in front of the monitor, as they reviewed footage that had just been filmed. Shin Kyung Soo praised Park Yoo Chun as an actor who was intelligent, meticulous, adaptable, and creative.

The filming staff also praised Park Yoo Chun for being a honest actor. In the accompanying interview, Park Yoo Chun admitted, “It is really great. I get along well with the staff, and I had a great time filming the drama. It is really cold during filming, and there are many action scenes, so it isn’t really easy for me. But after going through all that, I find myself changing. I always try my very best to be courteous in the past. But I have become more at ease now, and can talk and joke with the staff without any inhibitions.”

The reason for Park Yoo Chun’s transformation, can be attributed to the 4 months that he spent with the filming staff for the filming of his movie ‘Sea Fog’. He said with a smile, “It felt really awkward to have to adhere strictly to all the courtesy and politeness during the filming of the movie. So I felt that I should treat everything as natural as possible instead, instead of forcing the issue. I had meals and drinks with the filming staff in the 4 months of filming, and understood a lot of things.”

Park Yoo Chun’s full photo shoot and interview can be found in the April issue of ‘Singles’ which will be out on March 20th, as well as the magazine’s official website.

[Trans] 140108 JYJ Work With Famous Photographers To Create A New Year Photo Spread

jyjphotospreadjan2014

JYJ (Jaejoong, Yoochun, Junsu) have teamed up with famous photographers to release the third edition of their ‘THE JYJ’ magazine.

C-JeS Entertainment stated, “In February, the third edition of ‘THE JYJ’ will be released in Korea and Japan simultaneously,” and “Kim Jaejoong, Park Yoochun and Kim Junsu have each teamed up with a famous photographer to create a special collaboration project for their upcoming album.”

They continued to state, “We’ve decided to release a magazine for each member in order to capture each member’s solo activities of movies, concerts and tours. The members teamed up with photographers Cho Sun Hee, Mok Najung and Kim Young Joon, and shared many stories with them to capture their natural selves in the photos.”

JYJ said, “We took our time to converse with our photographers to prepare for our photoshoots, so we were able to let ourselves go during the process. This is the first time that we’ve enjoyed taking photos like this. It felt like we were creating physical proof of our twenties that we could look back on later. Some of the pictures surprised us because they showed sides of us we’d never seen before.”

The upcoming edition will feature special photo spread locations. Kim Jaejoong’s photographer followed him on the Japanese leg of his tour, while Park Yoochun’s photographer followed him around Busan while he filmed ‘Sea Fog’. Kim Junsu took many of his photos during his musical ‘December’.”

‘THE JYJ’ has garnered great popularity with its first two editions, the first edition containing 25 hours’ worth of interviews and the second edition holding the theme of friendship. The third edition will be released in Korea and Japan, and is available at the C-JeS online store.

[Trans] 140103 Stars Who Will Shine In The Year Of The Wooden Horse (1) – Park Yoochun

chunniesuitthreedays

2014 is upon us. Sports Hankook has created a list of stars who will shine in the entertainment industry this year, the year of the wooden horse. They may be rookies or veterans. We have given them the name of ‘New Risers’, stars who will rise to success in the New Year of 2014.

#Park Yoochun is set to captivate the movie industry and the drama industry at the same time

[SWOT Keyword]
S(trength) – Solid acting, success in previous productions, trustworthy seniors
W(eakness) – Stamina, schedule
O(pportunity) – Two-pronged approach, ‘You, Who Came From The Stars’
T(hreat) – Joo Sang Wook, Lee Min Jung, Kim Hyun Joong

Kicking off with Micky Yoochun. But these days, people are more familiar with the name ‘Park Yoochun’. The title of ‘actor’ sounds less awkward on him than the title of ‘member of JYJ’.

He was a leading role from the start. Making his debut with ‘SungKyunKwan Scandal’ in 2010, he has appeared on ‘Miss Ripley’, ‘Rooftop Prince’ and ‘I Miss You’. He has encountered a variety of genres, like comedy, history and thrillers. He never suffered from any ‘acting controversies’, something that has followed every idol who has transformed into an actor. It would not be wrong to say that Park Yoochun is the most successful idol-turned-actor in the industry.

His solid acting and the success of his previous productions has landed him a major role. He has been chosen as the leading role of SBS’ new Wednesday-Thursday miniseries ‘Three Days’, which is kicking off with a 10 billion Won investment. As the creation of screenwriter Kim Eun Hui, who has worked with successful actors like Park Shin Yang and So Ji Seob in ‘Sign’ and ‘Ghost’, the drama is a great choice for Park Yoochun.

‘Three Days’ is already set to become a success. Though there are still two months left till the drama begins airing, Kim Eun Hui has already written more than half of the entire script. The drama is set to be of a high quality as she won’t be scrambling to finish off her script. ‘You, Who Came From The Stars’, the preceding drama of ‘Three Days’, already has a viewership of 25%. If they current trend continues, ‘Three Days’ has a high possibility of beginning with a 30% viewership.

 

2014 is set to be a great year for Park Yoochun as an actor because he will also be making his big-screen debut through Director Bong Joon Ho’s movie ‘Sea Fog’. If Park Yoochun is able to succeed in his two-pronged approach, he will solidify an unparalleled position in both industries.

A representative of the entertainment industry stated, “Kim Soo Hyun and Song Joong Ki have both made their mark as top stars by appearing in both movies and dramas. Park Yoochun is still considered more of a ‘star’ than an ‘actor’, but if ‘Three Days’ and ‘Sea Fog’ succeed, he will establish himself as the most influential Hallyu star and actor of the industry.”

The weight on Park Yoochun’s shoulders is slightly lighter because of the experienced veterans at his side. In ‘Sea Fog’, he will be working alongside stars like Kim Yoon Seok, Moon Sung Geun and Kim Sang Ho. In ‘Three Days’, he will be working with Sohn Hyun Joo, Yoon Jae Moon, Jang Hyun Sung, Choi Won Young, Park Ha Sun and So Yi Hyun.

The representative also added, “In both movies and dramas, the ensemble is extremely important. This is a great opportunity for Park Yoochun as he will be working with the most well-known and talented actors of the industry.”

However, there are rising powers Park Yoochun must be wary of. ‘Three Days’ will be going head to head with KBS 2TV’s ‘Emotional Generation’, which will feature Kim Hyun Joong, and MBC’s ‘Cute Returning Single’, which will feature Joo Sang Wook and Lee Min Jung. Analyzing the cast, the power of the screenwriters and the statistics of the previous Wednesday-Thursday dramas, ‘Three Days’ has the upper hand. However, this does not mean they can be relaxed about it. The tables can turn at any moment, and Park Yoochun must be on high alert.

It is imperative that Park Yoochun takes care of his stamina and schedule in order to succeed this year. He must begin filming for ‘Three Days’ as soon as he finishes filming for ‘Sea Fog’. He must make sure his schedule is well-balanced in order for him to be in the best condition possible. Both productions have many outside filming sessions, which means that it is important for Park Yoochun to take care of his health.
