Hail Lim http://english.chosun.com/w21data/html/news/200709/200709190016.html

    Some thought she was going to be girl forever, but suddenly Lim Soo-jung has become a woman. Now she plays in Director Heo Jin-ho’s latest film “Happiness,” to be released on Oct. 3. In the movie, Im’s character Eun-hi falls in love with Yeong-su who comes to the rehab center for his own illness, but after she has given him everything, he throws her away.

People say you have a baby face and looking young is good, but it can also restrict the range of characters you play as an actress. In the movie, Yeong-su and Eun-hi are seven to eight years apart. I was able to become completely absorbed in my character, and when I did that, these concerns just disappeared. I’m sure when audiences see the movie, they won’t find it awkward at all.

Eun-hi is so feminine, one wonders whether such woman can actually exist in real life. To be honest, I’m more like Su-yeon, the character played by Gong Hyo-jin, who is more contemporary and cool. That’s why when I first got the script, I couldn’t fully understand my character. Eun-hi is on the extreme end of the spectrum with maximum femininity. She is almost a motherly character. But then when you think about it, all women have maternal love inside them. I’m a bit like Eun-hi. I’m not so bold, but I’m honest with my feelings, and if there is a person I like, I express it.

What are you like in real life? Before I made my break (in a sitcom called “School IV” in 2001), I was a nobody for about three years, and during that time I probably have tried out at hundreds of different auditions. In the process, I changed a lot. I was really shy before, but now I’m a bit like the bouncy Si-eun in ‘Lump Of Sugar,’ a bit odd like Yeong-gun in ‘I’m a Cyborg, but That’s OK’, and part of me is really closed-up and fragile like the sisters in ‘A Tale Of Two Sisters.’ I feel like I take with me a bit of each character I’ve played and I don’t want to throw away even one. Am I going to go develop a multiple personality disorder at this rate? (laughs).”

Tell us your ultimate goal as an actress. “So far I’ve been mostly playing unrealistic characters. They were either physically or mentally sick. So in the future I hope I get to play characters that are more down-to-earth. I’m also drawn to strong women characters. Maybe a businesswoman or a martial artist in a historical film? An evil character would be interesting too. If I can have one wish before I turn 40, that is to perform so well that everyone gives me two thumbs up.

1. What comes your mind when you see or think about Lim, Soo-Jung? Have you seen any of her drama or movie?
2. What kinds of female characters do you like in Korean drama or movie? What about in 미드 or 일드?
3. Can you tell the Korean titles of the movies mentioned at the article? What is your favorite 'well-translated' movie title of all time?
4. Do you think how honest are you?  Can you expres your feeling freely like what Ms. Lim said? What was the most hardedst thing have you ever said?

2nd summit http://joongangdaily.joins.com/article/view.asp?aid=2881060

The television screens at Seoul Station carried the historic meeting between the leaders of South and North Korea, but people eyed them quietly.During the inter-Korean summit in 2000, however, citizens clapped and yelled as they watched the leaders meet on television. South Koreans yesterday said the future is just as import!!ant as the summit itself.  “It’s good that a summit meeting is taking place again after seven years, but what is more import!!ant is what kind of results we will get,” said Park Bok-seon, 60.  Seong Sam-su, 29, a company worker, agreed. “After the first inter-Korean summit there was a feeling that tension was easing, but then we had a sea clash. This time we need to have a sure promise of peace". North Korea has never officially acknowledged the sea border drawn at the end of the Korean War by the United Nations. The area has seen deadly clashes between the two Koreas’ naval forces in 1999 and 2002, leaving casualties on both sides. In central Seoul yesterday, about 100 members of conservative civic groups, including the Free Citizen’s Alliance of Korea, held a joint protest rally in front of the government complex at Gwanghwamun. They issued a statement saying that “without denuclearizing the North there will be no real peace,” and chanted slogans such as “Do not give enormous aid to the North without the people’s consent!” Two hundred members of liberal-oriented civic groups, such as the National Unification Advisory Council, also showed up at the Sejong Center in downtown Seoul to show their support for the summit meeting. “We have to look at this from a bird’s-eye view and check the long-term effects. I hope the meeting can become a catalyst for promoting peace on the Korean Peninsula,” said Yu Young-jae, an official of the Solidarity for Peace and Reunification of Korea. Others wished for better things, too. “I would like to cross the military border line like the president and meet my relatives. I hope it will be different from the 2000 summit meeting, when there was a lot of hope followed by big disappointments,” said Yun Gug-nam, 67, who was born in Pyongyang.

1. Have you ever been to DMZ, 판문점 or even 금강산?
2. What do you think about the two protest and rally at the article? Which side do you stand by and do they reflect the society's diversity proprely?
3. What do you think about the summit? what do you most expect from it?
4. Some argue that the timing of the summit is wrong and it's only a farewell-gift of photo opportunity for soon-to-be retire President Noh. What is your opinion?
5. What do you think about the fact that Korea remains only devided country in the world. How urgently do you feel for so-called 'unification of two Koreas'?
