Trip to Korea

Well as some of you might already know i am in Korea, but not for long i'm leaving today. Anyway, i came for a meet and greet. I'm a film major at columbia college and am finishing soon. so i'm looking for a job. I met a man named Man Sung Son and he was impressed with me. so he said he would call a director he knew in Korea to give me an interview while i was there on vacation. The director is Young Woo Chang. He directed dramas like Hotelier, he's filming a new drama and is very busy so i didn't get a chance to meet him. While i had lots of free time i decided to go "looking" around.


One person i wanted to meet was Jeong Doo-hong (정두홍), and i did. He's really cool and a very nice guy. He works hard, i know because i spent a day with him watching him prepare for a new film. He use to be Korea's youngest action director now he's just the best. He was also impressed when he met me, he made a phone call and got me an interview with someone he knew. I got it, but i'll get to that part. Anyway he's really famous here in Korea i really admire his work. He's been in films like: The City of Violence - 짝패, Arahan - 아라한-장풍 대작전 and even makes a cameo in the new Dachimawa Lee - 다찌마와 리


While i was there i also met "Mr." Kim Won Jung. He was the action director for "OldBoy" and he choreagraphed he fight in the hallway with the hammer.





As i said earlier i met Jeong Doo Hong, he made a phone call and got me an interview with Hong Kyong Pyo. You might have seen some of his work he was the cinematographer on films like M - 엠 Taegukgi - 태극기 휘날리며 The Champion - 챔피언. I'm going to be working for him!! He wants me to start next month but i told him i want to finish school first. so he gave me his business card to contact him when i'm done. and i will, he just wants me to work on my Korean for when i come back.

hmmmm....
actually this is my last day in Korea. so i'm going to finish this later, i want to enjoy the it a little longer
