Moon Geun-young and Eom Ki-joon cuddle up in rehearsals

These photos were released on the 2nd and show the main cast of the theater play. Moon Geun-young and Eom Ki-joon take the two lead roles, he a writer, she a stripper. With the play just about to open as part of the I Like the Stage Play Festival — August 6 is its premiere date — the cast is currently immersed in final rehearsals.






The festival began on July 6 with its first production, Fool For Love, and Closer is the second show in the lineup. Six more will follow, taking the series through March 2011.

Kim Soo-hyun flooded with CF offers

Actor Kim Soo-hyun (Will it Snow for Christmas?, Giant) is well on his way to being the new prince of CFs, with three new campaigns in July alone.






The 22-year old actor debuted in MBC’s family sitcom Kimchi Cheese Smile (most redundant title ever), and has gone on to make a name for himself as the backstory kid in dramas such as Will it Snow for Christmas? and again in this year’s Giant. He also landed a major role in the drama special Father’s House, and has been growing his skills as an actor.



He’s being praised as a young actor with surprising depth, especially in his eyes. The campaigns are capitalizing on his fresh, youthful image, while utilizing his acting range.



Kim is definitely a young up-and-comer to look out for. His turn in Giant solidified his potential as a serious actor, and he’s probably due to get past playing the lead characters’ teen versions.



Love to see a rising star who’s not just another pretty face.
