Hanryu Star BYJ Marches into GKFG Shooting

Great King Four Gods [GKFG],
the drama that has been sensationally reported even before production began, has finally, officially started filming.
……………………………….This is the main character in the drama, Bae Yong Joon's return to the small screen some four years after Winter Sonata. In order to portary the powerful and informidable Great King in the drama, Bae Yong Joon had put on 5kg of weight. Right from the beginning of the year, Bae Yong Joon had immersed himself to prepare for his role; he has been exercising and sculpting his body as well as practising horseback riding. He has no plans to use a stuntsman and will instead play the rather difficult scenes of shooting or fighting whilst on horseback. Therefore, he has to prepare himself both physically and mentally prior to the commencement of the shooting.

GKFG first came to the public eye in September 2004. Its story was initially based on Tarentoko Hyonjon's work. However, whilst the team was still exploring the possibilities for the story, the media came to learn about it prematurely.

Not long after, even before the cast was decided, the production team called for a press conference. After the press conference, most of the market talk and online talk were speculation about the male and female leads for this 30 billion korean won [US$32m] drama production.

Bae Yong Joon was the first male character to be decided. As for the female lead, it appeared the production team had a hard time casting the role. Eventually they decided on an open audition, they would use a newcomer to act opposite Bae Yong Joon as his love interest Suzeeny. However, up to now, even though shooting has started, the role of Suzeeny remains undecided.

In January 2006, movie actress Moon So Ri accepted the role of Seo Ki Ha and added her name to the cast. Thereafter, on 16th March 2006, the crank-in ceremony was conducted in Jejudo, and it marked the start of the shooting.

Another topic of interest is Bae Yong Joon's appearance fee for each episode. However, in showbusiness, it is understood that the toppest of top stars cannot and will not have their appearance fees revealed. Therefore when Bae Yong Joon put his name on the contract, he added a clause: Regardless of which party, he or she will have to pay a fine if he or she discloses the appearance fee. With regard to this, industry people have made a conservative estimate of about 30m korean won [US$32,000] per episode.

On the other hand, Bae Yong Joon has become a hot topic of late due to the sharp rise in the share price of a company he has acquired, resulting in him becoming a 'paper billionaire' [100 billion korean won, or US$107m]. On 23rd March 2006, Bae Yong Joon invested 9 billion korean won [US$9.6m] via his agency BOF into a KOSDAQ-listed company Ottowintech [it has since been renamed KeyEast]. His investment translated into 1.447m shares or 37.5% of the company's total shares.

The share price has soared to become the faste

According the report by exclusive scoop by newsgathering crew of 'Entertainment News' on DMB 1to1 channel, a ground wave of the CBS, at around 8:30 PM on May 7, there broke a fire in a G apartment house in Samseong-Dong, Kangnam-Ku where BYJ was living.

It was confirmed that fire was put out in 30 mnutes as firemen and fire engines belonging to the Kangnam Fire Station turned out by reporting it to an emergency number (119). The Kangnam Fire Station told that 'BYJ himself did not call us but we turned out as other person reported it,' and 'There was not a personal damage at all and as bed and a part of furniture in a bedroom were burnt so that the damage is abouat 10 million won.'

Since May 7, BYJ does not stay in the house where the fire broke at present and it was known that he is staying in a five star hotel in Seoul.
………………………..
Regarding the fire that broke in the afternoon on the past 7 in an apartment house in Samseong-Dong, Kangnam, Seoul, which he had used as his workroom in ordinary times, BYJ asked his fans, 'I was not on the site at that time so that I was not hurt. As I do not have any problem with my health, please do not worry.'

An official at the management company of BYJ told on 16, 'The apartment house that caught fire was the place where BYJ used as his workroom as well as resting space in ordinary times, and although bed and furniture etc. were burnt due to fire from electricity, as BYJ wa

Meanwhile, regarding the fire that broke ont in his home on 8, BYJ told, "Fortunately, the situation was that there was no one in the home, and because it was put out soon after burning only one room, the damage was not big," and "I did not tell about it intentionally as I was afraid that people might be worry about it. However, as it was reported, many people made telephone calls worrying about it." ( เบ ยองจุน ห่วงใย ครอบครัว BYJ เสมอ )

The home in Samseong-Dong, Seoul, where the fire broke out in this time, is the place BYJ newly moved in around February. BYJ is living in the living room of that home (without moving out) until the burnt place is repaired.
He laughed saying, "My main home where my parent live is troublesome for moving around as it is away from Seoul, and yet, if I stay in a hotel, it will be inconvenient to other guests because of me, and also I feel that I also would not feel comfortable as in my home so that I just sleep in the living room spreading a mat."

Continuing on, BYJ told, "I experienced a fire in my home for the first time in my life, and including injury to teh ankle, etc., I experienced many things strangely in this month," and "Even then, people around me encourge me saying, 'You took the edge off an evil fortune with the big event ahead of me' and 'When one sees a fire or suffer from it lightly, it is a good omen for the big hit'. "

'Tae Wang Sa Shin Gi' BYJ, fire in workroom
★…Is this a signal shot for the big hit of the 'Tae Wang Sa Shin Gi'? As the fact is known that a workroom of Yon-sama BYJ suffered damage worth at 10 million won recently due to fire from electric leak, the atmosphere in the business circle is to take it as a good omen.


Ordinarily, there are cases where accidents occur that take the edge off an evil fortune before the big (box-office or viewing rate) hits are made is made, and they are saying if the 'Tae Wang Sa Shin Gi' is also walking such course. Although BYJ kept everything about the fact in secret even to the office family in his management company right after the accident because he was afraid that it might cause unnecessary worries among his domestic and overseas fans, after it was reported, they say it was given special prominence in newspapers in Japan.

They say BYJ is staying in his parent's home located in Hanam, Kyeong-gi Proviince for a time being. Although BYJ is talked about as filial son even in ordinary times, because it will be difficult for him to visit (his family) when the full-scale shooting of the drama begins from June, it seems to become an opportunity of the good coming out of evil anyway for him to be able to do filial duty.

……………………………………..
The Judge Heo Seongwook, single-judge Civil 43 Court in Seoul Central District Court revealed on 2 that he has given a judgement against the plaintiff in a lawsuit asking for damage compensation, claiming that the drama 'Tae wang Sa Shin Gi' has violated a copyright of a comic book 'Nation of Wind', which was brought on by Mr. Kim Myoseong, comic artist of the original comic book, against Ms. Song Jina, writer for broadcasting.

The judge told in his decision that 'Although the two writings have similar points in some parts in rough story-lines and characteristics of the characters, it is difficult to see that there are 'substantial similarities' as the synopsis, a writing by the defendant, is not the final writing but an arrangement of outlines of a drama scenario which she is to write in the future, while the book by the plaintiff is a comic book in completed form that was published as a book.'

The judge explained, 'EVen if the synopsis by the defendant is the secondary writing that could violate copyright of the plaintiff, historic facts are public domains which one cannot see that it belongs to any one writer's copyright, even if (defendant) used the same historical background and facts, one cannot see that as violation of copyright.

'The 'Nation of Wind' and the 'Tae Wang sa Shin Gi' have storyline with Kogooryeo Period as its background that four characters who are related to Gods would appear and head toward God City centering aroound a king chosen by them.


Mr. Kim, comic artist sued against writer Song Jina claiming damage compensation in June last year, saying that MBC history drama 'Tae Wang Sa Shin Gi', which began shooing recently with seveal tens of billion won production cost, 'had violated cipyright.'
