‘Hwang Jin-YI’ brings to life famous Joseon entertainer.
This article is talking about a new movie. This movie title ‘Hwang Jin-Yi’ is quite familiar for Korean because it is a name of famous a female entertainer in the 16th century in Korea. In fact, historical facts about her life are not clear at best, but one thing for sure is that Hwan Jin-Yi was a great beauty in Gaeseong, which is in North Korea, and throughout the country. Everybody knew about her intelligence and artistic talent.
‘Hwang Jin-Yi’ is one of biggest movie projects in 2007 which costed approximately 10.7 billion Korea Won. It was also played by one of Korea’s most famous stars, like Song Hey-kyo and Yoo Ji-tea for its main characters.
In the film, Hwan Jin-Yi has a hard time during her childhood. She had a crush on a servant, and the death of her father. She was also forced to an arrange marriage to one of the high class families in Seoul without her decision. That is why she decided to become a courtesan and she became very popular in Gaeseong.
One reason why I chose this article is that because I am a big fan of Song Hye-kyo who plays Hwan Jin-Yi. She is really beautiful. Although Hwang Jin-Yi was a Joeson Dynasty courtesan, I believe she had her reasons to become a courtesan. Moreover, in the movie, the Han-bouk (Korean traditional dress) was fantastic. Magazine Vogue decided to use Song Hye-Kyo who played ‘Hwang Jin-Yi’ for its magazine cover model. This is the first time for the Vogue to have Asian for its cover model.
