Tale of Two Sisters at the KCC

This week’s screening at the KCC is Kim Ji-woon’s (김지운) stylish suspense / horror flick Tale of Two Sisters (2003). (7 August, 7pm) Kim’s filmography is varied and of a high quality.

The Chosun duly obliged, and so shall I: And in another article this week the Chosun highlighted the number of models who are making it as TV actresses. Cue another opportunity to show some nice pictures. The model actresses concerned are Kim Seon-ah, Song Seon-Mi, Han Go-eun, Han Ye-seul, Han Ji-hye, Hyun Young, ...
