[Kim Ji-yeon’s Treasure Box] From HR to the Military, the Hospital and the Kitchen, Lee Hyun-kyun Has Been Everywhere! ‘Paradise Lost,’ ‘The Ordinary Jackpot,’ ‘New Recruit 4’

[Kim Ji-yeon’s Treasure Box] From HR to the Military, the Hospital and the Kitchen, Lee Hyun-kyun Has Been Everywhere! ‘Paradise Lost,’ ‘The Ordinary Jackpot,’ ‘New Recruit 4’

People fascinate me. Even for actors already in the spotlight, today may be the least famous they will ever be. ‘Kim Ji-yeon’s Treasure Box’ introduces actors whose careers keep reaching new heights. Consider this your chance to get in early.
Now is exactly the right time to write about actor Lee Hyun-kyun. Granted, I should have written about him while 〈The Dream Life of Mr. Kim〉 was airing. But perhaps missing that window, one way or another, meant I was supposed to write about him now.

[Kim Ji-yeon's Gem Box] 38-Year 'Rookie' Actor Nam Kwon-a of 'Tazza: The Song of Belzebub' and 'Gyeongju Trip'

[Kim Ji-yeon's Gem Box] 38-Year 'Rookie' Actor Nam Kwon-a of 'Tazza: The Song of Belzebub' and 'Gyeongju Trip'

I am curious about people. Even actors already drawing attention may be having the least famous day of their careers right now. 'Kim Ji-yeon's Gem Box' introduces actors whose profiles are reaching new highs by the day. Buy into these rising stars while they are still undervalued.
If I had to name just one Korean commercial film released this year whose performance fell short of expectations, it would unquestionably be 〈Gyeongju Trip〉. The film's provocative story and its sheer determination to swing between comedy and tragedy with almost ungainly roughness certainly shone,...
