THIRST - Park Chan Wook / Song Kang Ho / Kim Ok Bin / Shin Ha Kyun / Kim Hae Sook

Byunghun-ssi was spotted at the THIRST VIP Premiere tonight with Dir. Kim Ji Woon. The movie THIRST is Song Kang Ho-ssi’s latest film under the direction of acclaimed auteur, Dir. Park Chan Wook whom is a good friend of LBH. Byunghun-ssi is also known to be a big fan of Dir. PCW’s movies.  The horror-supernatural thriller has just been selected as South Korea’s entry in the 62nd Cannes filmfest this May. THIRST will be featured in the ‘In Competition’ category amongst the world’s best. Will 3rd time Cannes appearance for SKH (he had been there in 2007 for Secret Sunshine and GBW along with Byunghun-ssi last year) in 2009 be the lucky charm?

However, on a down note..

Lee, from Asia to world star..
Hallyu star Lee Byung Hun to start world premiere.. will his schedule collide?

The actor is set to start movie premieres for three movies in a row, starting with ‘I Come With The Rain” in June followed by GI Joe: Rise of Cobra worldwide promotion in August as well as ‘The Good, The Bad, The Weird’ August premiere in Japan.

On top of that Lee Byung Hun is currently filming IRIS, an action drama series to be aired in September on KBS2 which is already showing the actor’s full star power.

To the movies, together ^^

I’m sure many of us here remember reading this before in one of BH’s past interviews 4 years ago that it has been his ardent wish to open a movie theater. If this news update truly says what it says.. indeed, our Byunghun-ssi is truly making his dreams coming true.. one by one. No more a simple wish but already a reality to be.

Herald interview translated by Aldersgate at soompi.com / copied from LBH ad infinitum - cari.com

 LBH had an interview with Herald recently and disclosed that he have a dream to set up a theatre, to enjoy good movies with friends. Somewhat things are materializing. It will not be like CGV, but a very small scale, as my objective is to have more conducive dialogues with fans as well at that place.

LBH, who had only wanted to be an actor in his lifetime explained: There are pondering questions on him as to what will happen in 20 or 30 years time. I had never thought hard about it, the fact remains that popularity is ever changing. At this moment, the love and support from my fans with my acting, this is already an absolute joy & happiness to me.
