'Neighbor' update

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.

Plot summary:

Residents of a small apartment building learn that a serial killer lives within their building.
A stepmother (Kim Yunjin) feels heavy guilt for not being able to prevent her stepdaughter's murder. The stepmother takes it upon herself to find the killer. Meanwhile, a young girl (Kim Sae-Ron) that resembles the murdered girl becomes the next target of the serial killer.

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.
