LBH’s SPEECH AT THE 55th NHK RED-WHITE (Kouhaku Uta Gassen) 2004
Hello. I am an actor, Lee Byung Hun from Korea.
Today, I am here to congratulate the 40th anniversary of establishing the normality of diplomatic relations between Korea and Japan. Before that, I would like to express my appreciation. We have been thinking how to express our appreciation to your great support. And today, I am very grateful to have this chance by appearing in this great event. Through TV or movies, we have more exchanges between the two countries,
I wish the relation between the two will be much closer and more friendly. Moreover, from the next year (2005) I hope we would not distinguish the image culture of the two countries, and expect it will be the worldwide scale of the oriental image culture, and wish relations will get more deeply involved. Thank you.

Lee Byung Hun’s costumes in Good Bad Weird stolen

On the morning of 23rd, at Seoul Yongsan CGV Theater, the costumes of movie Good Bad Weird which were on display were stolen. The thief only stole the clothes worn by LBH in the movie. However, the clothes worn by the other 2 actors of GBW Song Kang-ho and Jung Woo-sung were not touched at all.

According to the cinema staff, the clothes on exhibit were displayed by model in the cabinet. From the traces found at the scene, the thief should have gone into the cabinet from the top of the display counter and stole the clothing. These garments are donated by the production company of “Good Bad Weird” to the cinema to be shown with the movie.

Director Kim Jee-woon was a theater actor and director before debuting with his self-written and directed film, The Quiet Family in 1998. He is currently one of the most talented and recognised writers/directors in the Korean film industry. Following his self-proclaimed genre, comic theater of cruelty, in The Quiet Family, Kim trekked on to explore new genres such as comedy The Foul King, horror The Tale of Two Sisters, and film noir A Bittersweet Life and showed his unique twists on storytelling, style and other well-established forms. The result – his works have set ground as the representative Korean films in each of the genres in both critique and box-office success. With mounted bandits, steam engine trains, opium-filled brothels, his new film, The Good, the Bad, the Weird, is a western that focuses on the anarchic and multinational culture-ridden Manchuria in the 1930s. Now, with his ‘Oriental Western’, Kim promises to take moviegoers into yet another unfamiliar, unprecedented, genre of film.

From ITSUKA’s sweet success, comes IRIS’ drama treat.. maybe!

A source revealed on the 23rd that Lee Byung-Hun is considering whether or not he will sing a song for IRIS. There is still some time before the broadcast date, therefore, he’ll see how things go before making a decision.
