    The newly appointed Russian Ambassador to Korea, Glev A. Ivashendsov


    August 19, 2005 at CNC News Radar: Interview with Glev A. Ivashendsov, Russian ambassador to Korea. The ambassador was talking about various subjects, but only the “important” subject is posted here.

    Min Kyung-joong - reporter:
    I remember A Russian proverb that says: “There is time for every thing”, I’m sorry for raising very hard questions… I heard that you are very interested in film arts. I’d like to know what is the most interesting part in Korean movie cultures?

    Ambassador Ivashendsov:
    I think the movies are worth-seeing if the movies are well made and the actors perform well. Among Korean movies that I watched, the movie about 6.25 war Taegukgi, was very impressive. I think it was an epoch-making movie. Also the acting of Jang Dong-gun and other Korean lead actors were superb. If there’s a chance, I would like to see more Korean movies.

    Jo Dong Hyuk (JDH) “My dream is to become like actor Jang Dong Gun”
    10.04.2006

    “Don’t you think it's super?” Through the eyes, one can be ever so tender and kind and from it, one can also express such evilness that it makes you tremble. To have such charisma / aura like actor JDG is my dream.”

    Jo Dong Hyuk (29) who gained popularity with MBC dramas “Young-jae's Period” and “Lovers” replied firmly that he wants to be like actor JDG after being asked which type of actor he wished to become. JDH will be appearing in the KBS2TV drama “Beauty and the Beast” on Monday’s and Tuesday’s as a hotel consultant who speaks 3 languages and will act opposite Ahn Jae Wook.

    He indicated that “I wish to become an actor who is able to transform completely into the character that I play. When senior JDG first debuted, he was labeled as a ‘handsome guy’ but now his name is synonymous with charismatic. I wish to be able to become an actor who is able to challenge myself.” JDH who has previously mentioned that he wish to play a bad guy who is ‘evil to the core’ will have the audience take notice of his progress as he continues to grow in the industry.

    Kwon Sang-woo “I want to surpass Jang Dong-gun”

    “My target is Jang Dong-gun!”

    Recently Kwon Sang-woo revealed, “I frankly wish to follow senior JDG’s steps. I’m working on my acting with determination to surpass senior JDG someday”. Then he said, “To me senior JDG is like a big mountain that I must overtake. Reaching this target is my motivation for acting (well)”.

    JDG who acted in all time no 1 Korean Box Office movie ‘Taegukgi’ is aiming to make another box-office legend with upcoming ‘Typhoon’ that is released on 15 December. He is not only a box-office actor, but also has built fixed image as an actor with good acting ability that endeavors to do unusual acting transformations.

    Therefore Kwon Sang-woo regards JDG, who has both box-office power and acting ability as a positive competitor. Kwon Sang-woo set to counter-fire with tough male image to compete against JDG, through ‘Running wild’ that is released on 13 January 2006.

    Kwon Sang-woo said, “I think it would be a good competition if ‘Running Wild’ could be released on 15 December as initially planned. We miss the competition as consequence of delaying the release because of production schedule. However we are not avoiding it because we are scared.”

    JANG DONG GUN in Korean Entertainers' X-File

    Source : www.groonet.com and DG Teahouse
    Translated from Korean into Chinese by Xianyuner of DG Teahouse

    Over the past few days, a document that contained the evaluation of top Korean entertainers (dubbed Korean Entertainers’ X-File) that has been circulating on the internet has rocked the Korean entertainment world as it involved invasion of privacy. Though the report contains a lot of unconfirmed negative news, there are a few stars who got good review because of their good image and were highly praised by the netizens who had read the report. The most representative of these stars is JDG.

    The report rate the entertainers under different categories of “Present Position”, “Prospects”, “Attractions/Talents” and “ Self-management “ and maximum score for each category is 5 . JDG scored 4.5 and better in all the categories, once again proving his position as the top star.

    Under the category of “Prospects”, JDG got this comment “As an actor, his prospect is very bright and he is one of the most anticipated actor ”.

    Under Attractions/Talents category, he got the highest score for star quality, acting ability and dedication to profession. The comment was “ his acting ability has reached a stable stage and it is unlikely that that one or two flops in his work will shaken his status. Japan’s response towards him is very positive and he is expected to maintain his high popularity as Hanllyu Star in the next 4 –5 years.”

    Under “Self Management”, JDG is regarded as a kind person with excellent character. He got very high score in this category. On the part of scandals/rumors which caused such an uproar, comment about JDG was “ no scandal or negative rumor, a real star quality in all aspects”

    Another entertainer who got very good review in the X-files is Moon Geun Young, scoring 4 or better in most categories. Others such as Anh Jae Wook, Rain, Ji-Jin Hee also got good review in individual categories. One thing in common among the stars who got good review in this report is they have no scandals or any negative rumors about them.

    Even though these entertainers got good reviews, the fact that they were rated like commercial products without their knowledge is something very unpleasant.
