We’ve seen other celebrities for this big champaign by ELLE fashion magazine. Now it’s Queen Seonduk’s Lee Yo Won turn~ :)

Lee Yo Won joins the “Share Happiness” campaign

Fashion magazine Elle Korea presents pictorial of Lee Yo Won, among the 93 artists who join together in this special campaign. Queen Seonduk’s Lee Yo Won is pictured with such elegant woman along with modern, contemporary look, gracefully done for her part of the campaign.

In an interview conducted within “Queen Seonduk” filming, Lee Yo Won mentioned that last year she couldn’t participate in the campaign because she was in Vietnam, so I was really eager to do it this year. I’d love to help in this kind of campaign, and so happy that I had the opportunity to do for the 2nd year of Share Happiness.” Lee Yo Won’s kind-heart really seems similiar like her character as Queen Seonduk, as she also received praises from the staff.

On the 11th, Lee Yo Won received the “Best Female” award for her drama “Queen Seonduk” along with So Ji Sub at the 2009 Korean Broadcasting Awards in Yangcheon, Seoul.

LOL. Cracked up when I first saw these pictures.
Yeah, “Queen Seondeok” can be sooooooooooo boring at times, even the actors on set can’t help but to dooze off. Poor them!! =D

More “Queen Seondeok” behind the camera pictures after the cut!
(mostly from Lee Yo Won’s collection~)

Here’s another actor that I couldn’t picture in a historical get-up. And it was pretty quick for him to announce his next project when he just finished with the awesome romcom drama, “Accidental Couple/That Fool”. But I guess good for Ju Sang Wook to have landed such a role in MBC historical drama (still airing) “Queen Seonduk”. This will be his first time participating in sageuk (historical) drama.

Ju Sang Wook participates in “Queen Seonduk” as Gaya’s last prince

Actor Ju Sang Wook has announced his participation in the MBC historical drama, “Queen Seonduk.” His character will show up around August 24, when the time has come to an end for Gaya’s royal family. Ju Sang Wook will appear as the last prince of Gaya.

According to Ju Sang Wook’s agency on August 10, Ju Sang Wook will start shooting this coming week. And as this will be his first participation in sageuk, he has undergone some training and practice of martial arts and horseback riding to prepare for his role.

Has anyone of you been following “Queen Seonduk”?
If you have, you’ll recognize the young actress right away. As you can see, Little Deokman (played by Nam Ji Hyeon 남지현; she’s 14 yrs old) came back to visit her co-stars at the shooting location of “Queen Seonduk”, the currently airing MBC historical drama. At first, the drama had such a promising start. Though in some episodes, there are some confusing scenes, and dragging storyline. But overall all the actors did their part.

Nam Ji Hyeon is a great cast to play as the younger version of Lee Yo Won. Though she’s barely 14, I think she did an awesome job as Deokman. Now it’s up to the PD and Scriptwriter now to save this long historical drama, me thinks. If you’re wondering what Nam Ji Hyeon is up to now, let’s take a look.

Nam Ji Hyeon & Shin Sae Gyeong’s reunion after “Queen Seonduk”

“Queen Seonduk” young actresses, Nam Ji Hyeon (14) and Shin Sae Gyeong (19) were happy to be reunited again after they both are done with MBC “Queen Seonduk”

These two sisters (in “Queen Seonduk”) are now involved in another show by tvN cable channel called, “Taxi”. When they both were asked how it was to film for two different shows, they said, “Because we both had to be in two shows, we had a lot of chances to meet in between shooting.”

Shin Sae Gyeong debuted first as a model 10 years ago when she was only 9-yr old. One of her closest friends in the industry is actress Mun Geun Young. Shin mentions also that they monitor each other’s work and often give feedback regarding their acting, etc. She is also a part of the cast for blockbuster movie, “Ogamdo” who has just been released in theaters.

You can catch both Nam Ji Hyeon and Shin Sae Gyeong’s new show on tvN cable channel, “Taxi” – first aired last July 16 at midnight.

Wooh~, no wonder Go Hyun Jung bows like that~
He’s the president of MBC, the TV station main president. The person in charge of all the ruckus in MBC hehe! :) He seems younger than I thought he would be. And it must have been a proud moment for the whole crew to have a visit like this ;)

I have been trying to catch up on this series, and it seems that starting episode 8, things are slowly going to the wrong direction -_- PD-nim, let’s pick up the pace, yes?

MBC President, Eom Ki Young found staffs of Seonduk on set

On July 1, the staffs and crew of the high-profile MBC historical drama, “Queen Seonduk” got a visit from President Eom Ki Young. He came to visit the crew on set to give them his supports for their dedication. The crew and actors were so happy to see him and felt encouraged by his presence.

While visiting on set, held in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province (“Queen Seonduk” shooting location), the president and his executive stayed until they finished shooting. Then he personally greeted Go Hyun Jung and her fellow co-star, Jeon No Min (who played as “Seolwon” in the drama) to deliver his personal encouragement and support for their hard work.

As soon as Go Hyun Jung met the president, she had a huge smile on her face and said, “It’s such an honor to have him come down to our shooting location. His direct encouragement for the whole crew is very much appreciated.” As for the president himself, he told Go Hyun Jung what an excellent job she did. “There’s no exaggeration at all, and she came on with a strong character.” Giving her the encouragement and praising her acting.

Due to the hot weather this summer, the crew and staff have to work extra hard to overcome hard shooting days. Therefore PD Kim Geun Hong mentioned how hard his staff have been working to make every episode possible. He thanked the President also for the encouragement and promised to work harder.

(Let’s just hope that the script will move on soon… I’m getting a different vibe from episode 10 compared to when the drama first started. I guess the transition period is harder to watch because we can’t help feeling hopeless when the main character is feeling listless. Lee Yo Won did a great job as “Deokman”, and also Go Hyun Jung for her Mishil-evilness. Hail for Mishil! >_> keke!)
