Lee Yoon’Gi’s new film ‘러브토크’ (’Love Talk’) wrapped up shooting on August 28. The fun thing is that Kim Ji-Soo, who acted on Lee’s previous film ‘여자, 정혜’ (’This Charming Girl’) appeared in the film with a really short cameo. Director Lee said it was nothing particularly important for the film, though. The film, starring Bae Jong-Ok and Park Jin-Hee, shot for several weeks in L.A. before coming back to Korea, and will go into post-production for an End of November release.

Lee Joon-Gi was injured during the shoot of Lee Joon-Ik’s ‘왕의 남자’ (’The King and The Clown’), falling from the stairs of a Theme park in Buan, Youngsang. Since it was a night scene without lighting, the young actor fell by mistake and hurt himself, needing 15 stitches as a result. The Fusion Historical ‘Dramedy’ stars Jung Ji-Young and Gam Woo-Sung, and is Lee’s second film after the well received ‘황산벌’ (’Once Upon a Time in The Battlefield’). 70% of the shoot has been completed, as the film prepares for a December release.

Popular 70s star Lee Dae-Geun will take a page from John Malkovich’s book and star in a film about… himself. Director Shim Kwang-Jin’s new film, entitled ’이대근, 이댁은’ (’Lee Dae-Geun, This Man’), will feature Lee playing himself, just like Malkovich did in 99. The film is one of the new 5 HD films KBS is funding, and the director - who wrote the script - promises to strip Lee of his former macho image, and show him as a normal old man.

Did she go under the knife again? She doesn’t look like the same gal from THE SPY and JUST DO IT.
