[K-Movie] South Korea’s Highly Anticipated Film, ‘The Divine Fury’ Set to Thrill Cinema-goers This August

To embrace evil, or to confront it. A story of the massive battle between good and evil is about to take the cinemas by storm this August. Two years after his hugely successful film ‘Midnight Runners’, director Jason Kim is back to hit the silver screen with a brand new genre and subject matter in The Divine Fury.

Starring a high-profile cast comprising Park Seo-jun, Ahn Sung-ki and Woo Do-hwan, this movie is set within the contemporary world in which a martial arts champion joins up with an exorcist priest to battle against a dark force of evil.

Reuniting again with director Kim in this film, Park Seo-jun plays the character of Yong-hu, a martial arts champion who fights evil. In contrast to all his previous roles, this character brings out a deeper, more mature acting that showcases the actor’s emotional range and acting abilities.

In order to effectively portray the character well, Park Seo-jun was said to have performed all the martial arts, wire action and CG action by himself, perfectly executing the challenging role.

Meanwhile, veteran actor Ahn Sung-ki returns to the screen as Father Ahn, an exorcist priest who fights evil spirits. Ahn Sung-ki’s 62 years of acting experience has earned him the moniker of Korea’s leading national actor, having demonstrated his reliability and likeability in countless films.

In The Divine Fury, he exudes the weighty presence of his character impeccably, performing action scenes and even taking up the challenge of Latin dialogue, truly living up to his name.

Another key character in this film, rising star Woo Do-hwan brings a sharp tension to The Divine Fury playing Jisin, a mysterious Dark Bishop who takes advantage of people’s weaknesses to spread evil.

Displaying a fresh charisma and strong acting, Woo Do-hwan has earned praises for his performance as he perfectly portrays the dark nature of the character that’ll be sure to captivate audiences.

With high anticipations in store for this blockbuster film, the thrilling story and groundbreaking action sequences are sure to create a completely new world for the audiences.

Film Synopsis:

After losing his father at a young age, Yong-hu (Park Seo-jun) harbors a deep mistrust and anger towards the world. Years later he has become a martial arts champion, but one day he discovers an unexplained wound on his palm. When he meets the exorcist priest Father Ahn (Ahn Sung-ki), he learns that there is a special power contained within the wound.

As his fellowship with Father Ahn deepens, he starts to perform exorcisms with him. However, an evil figure named Jisin (Woo Do-hwan) kills a girl who was recently exorcised by Father Ahn and Yong-hu.

Jisin hatches a plan to ensnare and kill more people. Father Ahn and Yong-hu try to defeat him, but Father Ahn is mortally wounded in the fight. Yong-hu takes strength from the God he once rejected, and faces off against Jisin…

What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim has been dominating the TV viewership ratings since its premiere on June 6, as the drama piques viewers’ interest with its relatable and light-hearted plot. The 16-episode romantic comedy series revolves around Lee Young Joon (Park Seo Joon), the narcissistic Vice President of a large corporation, and Kim Mi-so (Park Min Young), his highly capable secretary who decided to quit her job after 9 years.

Park Min Young: Park Seo Joon’s ad-lib on set makes the overall vibe very energizing and fun. He is very creative and always make a lot of people feel less tense and enjoy the moment. This vibe is naturally reflected in the drama and to the viewers as well. For Lee Tae Hwan, I feel the refreshing vibe from him. He reminds me of the past when I first started shooting drama.

Park Min Young: The drama What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim is like a fantasy filled with sympathy.

Q: What do you think about the character Kim Mi-so?

Q: Tell us how do you feel about Lee Young Joon?

Park Min Young: Young Joon is a very unique character that cannot be seen in other dramas. The lines are very witty which make the drama very fun and engaging.

Q: Please send a message to your drama viewers from Singapore.

[COVER] Kang Ha Neul And Park Seojoon Described As The “Dynamic Duo” Of MIDNIGHT RUNNERS

Korean heartthrob Kang Ha Neul and director Jason Kim were in Singapore last Thursday (31 Aug) for the movie promotions of MIDNIGHT RUNNERS which is slated for local release on 7 September 2017.

Starring the rising actors Kang Ha Neul and Park Seo Joon, the movie tells the story of two apathetic police academy recruits-turned-best-friends who witnessed a kidnapping incident by chance during their leave. After making a police report, the investigation went stagnant as there were lacked of evidences. The duo then decided to take matters into their own hands where they ran into unexpected twists and turns.




Speaking at the press conference, director Kim revealed that he’d been working on the movie project for 3 years — 2 years on its story and 1 year on the casting. He eventually decided to cast Kang Ha Neul and Park Seojoon as both actors were interested in the story and naturally blended well together.

Describing the two lead actors as the dynamic duo, director Kim complimented their professionalism and added that they knew the story more than he did and portrayed their characters really well.

On the other hand, Kang Ha Neul revealed that the atmosphere on set was nothing short of pure joy. Just like what was shown in the movie, he also disclosed his close relationship and chemistry with Park Seojoon and director Kim off screen.

“Park Seojoon is like an older brother to me and working together brings us even closer. Also, director Kim has a great attention to detail. He was willing to listen to our opinions and thoughts.”

Visiting Singapore for the third time, Kang Ha Neul thanked fans for their warm welcome as he greeted them at the public Meet & Greet session held at Bugis Square on the same evening. Selected lucky fans also had the opportunity to play games and take a group photo with the actor during the event.

Kang Ha Neul is set to enlist in the military as a military police officer on 11 September, while MIDNIGHT RUNNERS will open in Singapore cinemas on 7 September. We wish him all the best and look forward to his grand return to the small and big screens 21 months later!

MIDNIGHT RUNNERS Singapore Star Tour was presented by tvN Movies and covered by HallyuSG.
