Too Handsome



If “Something Happened in Bali” was a TV drama that made Jo In-sung (25) famous as a TV actor, “A Dirty Carnival,” scheduled to be released on June 15, will likely to establish him as a movie actor.

In the movie directed by Yoo Ha, the director of “The Cruel History of Maljuk Street,” Jo In-sung stars as “Byung-du,” a third rate gangster who lifts himself out of poverty, dreams of success, but falls due to the very reasons why he succeeds. In the movie, he looks young and sounds young, but he wields a knife ruthlessly. The “gangster who is not like other gangsters” creates a curious reality in the movie. This reporter met Jo In-sung on June 6.

You are too handsome for a gangster-

“The moment the shooting starts I forget about my face. People say that a brilliant performance cannot be expected of handsome actors. But I was not born like this because I wanted to. Even if I look like this, I never, even for one second, have stopped making all efforts to act, and have always been serious about acting.”

Indeed, among “character actors,” handsome actors are hard to find-

“My appearance can either harm or benefit me. However, I can become as good an actor as those character actors by making the effort, but character actors cannot look like me no matter how much they try. I am proud of myself because I make efforts to achieve goals as an actor if those goals are achievable.”

Your record as a movie actor has been poor compared to your success in TV dramas. Your previous film, "Namnam-buknyeo,” made me wonder, “Why did Jo In-sung decide to star in the movie?”-

“I am good at expressing intense emotions, but I don’t perform confidently when emotions are not intense. I learned that from "Namnam-buknyeo,” and that experience (a failure at the box office) was a valuable lesson for me. I want to be an actor whose end is more beautiful than his beginning.”

Your face shows two contrary images. It is bright on one hand, but dark and full of pathos on the other. It may be because of the wrinkles in your face-

“My father has wrinkles in his face just like me. People suggested me to try Botox injections, but I don’t like the idea. I love my wrinkles, because they show my life.”

You lived in a semi-underground house because of financial difficulty that your family was in. For me, your real life curiously overlaps with the life of “Byung-du,” who struggles to lift himself out of poverty-

“I went through the Asian financial crisis just like all other Korean people. Just like in the movie, which is filled with betrayals, people betrayed my father, didn’t pay back their debts and ran away. We had no choice but to live in the semi-underground house because we had no income. The semi-underground house has both merits and demerits. It is really cool in the summer. But lots of fungi sprout because of the high humidity (laughter). It may have been because of this experience that I did not feel uncomfortable in the slum where Byung-du lives in the movie.”

You earn a lot, but you did not move into a big apartment in the southern part of Seoul like other actors do-

“What for? I attended elementary school in Cheonho-dong, middle school in Cheonho-dong and high school in Cheonho-dong. All of my friends live in Cheonho-dong. If I move to the southern part of Seoul, I have to come to Cheonho-dong to hang out and drink with my friends. Going back and forth appeared to be cumbersome to me. I love to do things the way I used to.

Byung-du abruptly kisses Hyun-ju (played by Lee Bo-young), his alumna from the elementary school, and asks her “Would you go out on a date with me?” How is Jo In-sung in real love life?-

“I make the first move. If I feel certain of my feelings, I don’t drag my feet. I make my feelings known without any ambiguity. If the woman says “No” at first try, it’s O.K. I try for the second time. But if she says “No” again, I give up her without hesitance.”

What kind of a woman would you like to marry?-

“A wise woman.”

What do you mean by a “wise woman?”-

“Let’s say I earn one million won and bring that money home. By a wise woman I mean a woman who can grow that money.”

Isn’t it a woman who is good at finances?”-

“Oh, it’s not that (laughter). I mean a woman who makes me feel comfortable so that I can do acting without anything weighing on my mind. A woman who grows not only money but also my mind.”

Quoting his line in the movie, “What is a family? A family consists of mouths that eat at the same table,” he said, “Why do I act if I can not protect even my family and parents? If I cannot protect my family and parents, I would not be worth much as a human being, let alone as an actor.” After the interview, posing for a photo op with this reporter, Jo In-sung who is 186cm was considerate enough to lower himself to the height of this reporter like a giraffe drinking water.

Jo In-sung Is Back in 'Dirty Carnival'



It is the dream of Byung-du aka "Number 3" (Jo In-sung), always ignored at the Rotary gang, to find a sponsor with plenty of cash and tidy up his failed life. When his higher-up in the organization declines the order of wealthy businessman Hwang to "take care of" a senior prosecutor, Byung-du snatches the opportunity. His right hand Jong-soo (Jin Gu) flits to the scenario like a moth to a porch light, while his elementary school buddy Min-ho (Namgung Min) is making a movie called "The Struggles of a Southern Sluggard" out of the entire process. This is where the mean streets erupt into a base and wicked carnival.

Chungmuro, home to the Korean film industry, could fill a truck with gangster movies that tell stories of lust and betrayal. But director Yoo Ha's "A Dirty Carnival" opening this Thursday breaks free from its predecessors in the genre. While the film on the face of it follows the conventions, the story is really about the consumerist mobsters' tattered lives. The director wanted to expand the film’s scope to include everything related to life in a capitalist society. The mobsters, the family that eats with them, and the elementary school classmate who once believed with all his heart that he could give everything, end up saying, "It's a dog-eat-dog world out there." The Jo In-sung we see in the film leaves quite an impression: this young star, rediscovered by Yoo Ha, proves that he still has a lot more to show us.

One recent survey showed that the type of man most popular with other men is a man of integrity and the "all-round cool guy." People associate this type of man with Jo In-sung. What this 187 cm-tall, 72 kg-slim man wears on TV becomes an instant fashion fad, but when he made his debut, he was told, he had a bad voice and a weird face.

But Jo wouldn't be who he is if he had let that discourage him. He found endurance and strength that are rare in one so young. And while the actor is famous for his younger-brother image, he is in fact the eldest son in his family. When he was a high school student, his family was hit hard by the Asian financial crisis, so he and his favorite younger brother had to go through hard times. After becoming famous as an actor, he said he was happy to pay for his brother's tuition. Jo's lifestyle is all about not wasting his energy but pouring it into the right thing. He seems reliable, quite unlike other young actors.

“A Dirty Carnival” Beats “X-Men”





“A Dirty Carnival” directed by Yoo Ha drew the most viewers at the box office on Tuesday, with some 80,000 viewers at 390 theaters nationwide, leaving U.S. blockbuster “X-Men: The Last Stand” behind, which tallied some 75,000 viewers at 428 theaters.

“A Dirty Carnival” has become the first Korean movie in seven weeks to beat Hollywood blockbusters that had topped the box office here since “Mission: Impossible 3” was released on May 3. The top spot has since been occupied by “The Da Vinci Code,” “Poseidon,” and “X-Men” before “A Dirty Carnival” captured it on Tuesday.

The news particularly pleased the Korean film industry, although it is just a daily tally. CJ Entertainment, the movie’s distributor, said, “We expected that the movie would draw more viewers than ‘X-Men’ from Monday, and it finally did on Tuesday. The difference is no more than several thousand people, but we are really happy.” On Monday, “A Dirty Carnival” drew 55,000 viewers, closely following “X-Men” with 60,600, after trailing the U.S. movie by a large margin over the weekend.

Now it remains to be seen whether “Les Formidables,” “A.P.T.” and other Korean movies to be released soon can maintain the momentum generated by “A Dirty Carnival.” Hollywood blockbusters waiting to be released are “Superman Returns” and “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest.”

Chain of violence in 'Dirty Carnival'

While brutality is a dangerous subject in reality, it makes an excellent theme for a movie. A cruel gangster movie, for example, gives one the strange satisfaction of watching someone being stabbed to death, but at the same time, puts one at ease from knowing that he or she is safely away from the violence onscreen.

By taking a "stab" at the tangle of voyeurism and fear, poet-turned-director Yu Ha opens up a bloodshed world of violence in his movie "Dirty Carnival" and claims it to be reality.


Actor Cho In-sung

Byeong-du, played by actor Cho In-sung, is an ambitious second boss in a gang, who has a "real" family of a sick mother and two younger siblings, and a "gang" family of five brothers depending on him. While he strives to somehow make a decent living for the two families, his merciless boss blocks him by taking away a gambling house which is Byeong-du's only means of living. Facing a dead end, Byeong-du chooses to abandon his loyalty by making a deal with a man called president Hwang - whose full name is unrevealed in the movie - and kills a senior prosecutor and his own boss. Through this deal, Byeong-du is guaranteed enough financial support to feed his families, but is forced to enter a brutal food chain in which only the strongest man survives.

President Hwang teaches Byeong-du to grow into a proper man by showing him the principles of the world. It is not only money that leads Byeong-du to stab his once beloved boss to death. The brutal process is the price he pays in order to join the vital system and become a "proper" man. But ironically, it is not the act of violence that destroys him.

Byeong-du makes the mistake of splitting his world into two. For him, the brutal world where he has to kill his own boss, bully weaker people and stage a bloody battle with rival gangs is completely separate from his world of trust and compassion.

In his second world, he has a sick mother to take care of, a little sister who loves him dearly, a beautiful first love he cannot forget and a best friend with whom he can share his deepest secrets.

By tilting himself more and more toward the second world, Byeong-du makes the crucial mistake of forgetting the rules of the game. By giving his full trust to his right-arm Jong-su and best friend Min-ho, Byeong-du takes the risk of becoming the "weaker" one in the food chain. Although he himself killed his boss for the price of success, Byeong-du seems unaware of the fact that his own throat could be slit open by someone who also wants to be admitted into the brutal system - and that someone could well be one of his closest people.

At this point, audiences come to a sickening realization - that this stupidly naive character actually mirrors us, the "ordinary" people.

Evidently, director Yu didn't choose gangster as his theme for mere entertainment. By showing the coexistence of the two seemingly different worlds, he continually forces the audience to see that we all are actual producers and consumers of violence.

The movie may end with Byeong-du as the last victim, but having the two worlds coexisting and the brutal side constantly threatening to take over, no one can be sure who will be the victim next time. Knowing that there is no end to this brutal chain, president Hwang, Min-ho and Jong-su - the temporary "survivors" - drink in celebration with their eyes still full of fear and insecurity.

The "dirty carnival" does not belong only to gangsters. Everyday we too enter the chain of violence and strive to survive remembering the rule that "only the strong remain."

The only defect of this movie is perhaps the fact that no one will be able to simply enjoy a gangster movie after realizing the realities lying beneath the violence.

I made a wallpaper for the JO IN SUNG lovers so we can stare at him all day on the desktop!

Good for him. He was good in the Classic even though there wasn't much screen time for him in there.

TNG, I bought a DVD of his movie, The Classic but I haven't watched it yet. You mean to say that he's not the lead male character in the story? I bought this tape because of him.
