The results SBS′ Shining Inheritance and also the films Always and Masquerade have got garnered prove her value. She′s an actress who knows how you can help her partner glow, and this helped her stack up on an unbelievable job at age 25.

not too long ago she had her viewers crying with Always, and this time, she′s off on another period piece challenge with certainly one of Korea′s most skilled celebrities, Lee Byung Hun, over the film Masquerade. How would she think about her acting and the woman career? Enews met with Han Hyo Joo to look for some answers.

Han Hyo Joo upwards Close

One hour was such a shorter to get to learn this person. During this short interview, I obtained meet two Han Hyo Joos; the actress and also the person. The two were completely different.

For the first 30 minutes or so the lady was a sharp actress with seven years under her belt, while in the remaining time she was a bit sister who has her own worries and claims.

She hadn′t endured seven years in showbiz regarding nothing. She said, nonetheless, that she′s usually brighter plus more cheerful than others may possibly think. She had to hide her cheerfulness because of her fragile heart. She was worried the woman's actions or her words is twisted to hurt some.

When told she didn′t smile much just as she is in the woman's movies, she smiled gaily to disprove the assertion, saying, 'I do smile a lot. ' The smile made her appear to be the 25 year aged girl she was rarely taken for being.

Around this time last year ′Always′ premiered. It was the opening piece for that ′Busan International Film Festival′ (′BIFF′) recently too, and ′BIFF′ is coming around again in 2010. It must remind you plenty of those times.

'Since the weather is now colder and the blowing wind has started to knock back, I′m reminded a many how it was back then. It was a meaningful piece with luck. I was able to drink with lots of great people, and it turned out great....I don′t think I′ll ensure it is [to BIFF] this year because of my schedules, though. i

Your barefaced acting in ′Masquerade′ have been making issues. Did you ever should want to do something like that just before?

'I′ve been in scenes devoid of makeup on. I feel burdened when i have thick makeup upon, so I rarely don makeup outside of the pieces. It feels for instance my original self is usually being covered up (Laugh). That′s why after i put on thick makeup foundation for photo spreads or perhaps press conferences, I′m awed also it feels funny. '

can it feel to see your film?

'It′s hard with luck to give objective evaluations. Still, it′s fun. in a health club laughed a lot enjoying it. '

What was one of the most impressive scene?

'The scene where MY PARTNER AND I ran around holding arms with [Lee] Byung Hun sunbae (senior) was the best impressive. My heart fluttered in the sight of the two people holding hands nicely in addition to running with music playing in the background. When we was shooting it, we had to run for a long period so I was weary, but it felt great to discover what a nice scene it ended up being. '

We can′t avoid touching on your work with Lee Byung Hun.

'He′s some sort of praiseworthy actor. He′s a terrific actor, the best acting professional. He′s a sunbae that could have all the something he wants. It was at the first try I met such a good actor in my acting career. I could see how immersed he what food was in his act. It ended up being great. '

Just why don't you consider him left the biggest impression done to you?

'He touched me to be a junior and as an actor next time i saw him lead the scene for the reason that lead actor. His voice, too (Laugh). His voice in commercials is terrific. '

You′re said to be one of several few actresses who fits both in period pieces and more contemporary settings. Which do people think fits yourself the many?

'I don′t know....ladies have their own charms, so it′s hard of choice just one. Modern pieces are comfortable to move around in, but period of time pieces help actresses appear more beautiful. At first next time i was in a period piece i got criticized because I didn′t slot in. I think I′ve been getting good reviews because everyone′s gotten used to seeing me. (Laugh)'

You′re only 25 yoa. You′ve been in numerous pieces, but do you nonetheless have any other pieces you would want to try?

'I′ve worked very difficult (Laugh). Still, I′ve never gotten to help act in trendy dramas like we would like a Romance or espresso Prince. I want to try those types. '

You′ve had great fortune in your selection of partners. Which actor fit you one of the most?

'I don′t really similar to evaluating others. I imagine I was lucky just as one actress to have this kind of partners. (Laugh) I cherish the new ties I gain when I get acquainted with a good person, and those ties then bring about more ties; it′s like one leads to three, and those three produce six. '

It seems you'll really be strict.

'I′m definitely not. I′m very delicate. I debuted at such an early on age, and I′ve been hurt by the ways my words and actions are twisted to mean other pursuits. I think that′s led me that they are more passive and timid. I′m hurt easily. I′m actually pretty bright and susceptible to laughter. '

It seems ′Masquerade′ will probably be another turning point intended for Han Hyo Joo. Is there anything you would like to add?

'I starred from the film, but I think objectively it′ll be an enjoyable film. I believe it′ll be the one that leaves a definite information too. It′s a piece that can show me in the latest light. I hope you watch through to see how I mature as a possible actress, and I hope you pursue to show me your adore. '.

With little hesitation, we decided to go for the Psy-Schmidt photo in spite of our plan to make the chubby singer the subject of our weekend photo essay.

Today’s photo lives up to the Psy spirit of defying conventional wisdom _ him hanging upside down and looking at us with a broad smile on his face. Maybe, he is happy to prove all others wrong by becoming a global star with a “class-B” act or is trying to conceal bewilderment at his own success.

Torn pieces of newspaper seen strewn around his smiling face are from the People page in our Thursday edition where his Billboard success was covered. Shim Hyun-chul, our photographer and graphic artist, who worked on it, said that his work portrays Psy as if he is appearing in person at our paper because we have covered him so much. We have not heard him say, “Enough is enough.” (The Korea Times)
