Cannes Film Festival interview

Via Soompi.com: 

After her trip to the Cannes Film Festival 2012, actress Kim Yoon Jin revealed that after her project with "Lost," people in the U.S. treat her differently. Kim Yoon Jin was invited to the Cannes Film Festival 2012 for the first time due to her significant role in L'Oréal Paris – she has modeled for the cosmetics brand since 2009. On May 26, Kim Yoon Jin had an interview near Hotel Martinez that’s near a beach in Cannes, France.

How do you feel about your visit to the Cannes Film Festival?

The red carpet was a lot shorter than I expected. It’s my first visit to the Cannes Film Festival, but I never thought I would be invited to the Cannes Film Festival as a model since I’m more well-known for my role as an actress. Fortunately for me, I had the chance to wear a gorgeous dress so I didn’t look too bad against other L’Oreal Paris models.

'Neighbor' update

An official release date was announced: July 19, 2012.

Yunjin cast in a new movie

World star Yunjin Kim will be coming back to screens with the movie "Neighbor" (이웃사람), which is based on a web comic by Kang Pool.

Yunjin Kim sought a way to parallel Korean and overseas activities as she was offered several jobs after the end of American drama "Lost". She decided to settle with "Neighbor" as an initial plan for a Korean movie didn't work out.

Other Kang Pool comics have been turned into films before: "A.P.T.", "BA:BO" and "Late Blossom".

"Neighbor" is a thriller about the events that happen when a murderer lives next door.
This original comic was greatly popular for the contents of it not only being about the serial killer but about the neighbours getting together to help each other out. Writer Kim Hwi is well known for his ability to spread out characters like he did in the movies "Haeundae" and "Harmony".
Ma Dong-seok from "Perfect Game" and "Nameless Gangster" will be starring in "Neighbor" along with Yunjin.

Filming was scheduled to begin on April 7 in Busan.

Yunjin modelling for Lebeige and supporting Heart For Eye

HEART FOR EYE is a charity founded by KUHO in 2006 to help support eyesight recovery operations for children of low-income families. In Korea, there are approximately 200,000 blind people who live among 48 million people with good sight. What is surprising is that those born congenitally blind could have led healthy lives if only they had received proper treatment and an operation in early childhoood.
What we found is that most children suffering from impaired vision do not receive timely medical diagnosis and treatment due to economic hardships. We thought that it is necessary to provide eyesight recovery operations to those in greatest need - children in foster care, orphanages and single-parent families - who are the least likely to receive the needed care and support.

LEBEIGE - A brand that was launched in S/S season of 2009 by Cheil Industries. Lebeige is designed by creative director Kuho Jung and targets women in their 40s and 50s. The beige represents the image of woman in the 40s and displays their tradition, calmness, relaxedness and grace. This means they pursue their own styles distinctive from others.
