16th Busan International Film Festival's opening red carpet

16th Busan International Film Festival’s opening red carpet

by javabeans

The 16th Busan International Film Festival opened on October 6, and the red carpet to the opening screening — So Ji-sub and Han Hyo-joo’s tragic romance Only You — was awash with stars.

(For those of you used to seeing the festival called PIFF, it recently changed its spelling. The festival is in its 16th year and began back when the city was spelled Pusan. The spelling of the southern city officially changed to Busan in 2000, but the festival kept its former spelling, which naturally led to some confusion. Yeah, the Korean romanization system changes hasn’t been the most easy to follow.)

It’s been a while since we’ve had a big, star-packed red carpet, but this reminds me that we’re heading into awards season, and will soon be seeing lots of events like this. Which means, lots and lots of red carpets to ooh over, or, as the case may be, snark.

There were some questionable outfits (always fun), but overall I really like what I saw, even if there was an overwhelming trend toward leg slits Up To There and a good amount of side-boob. But the colors! Yay for colors!

So Ji-sub and Han Hyo-joo were two of the highlights of the night, seeing as it was their movie opening the festival. They both came in all-black, and they’re both looking sharp. I like the understated look on Han, who adds a few sparkles of interest with the shoes and jewelry.

Is Jang Dong-gun (My Way) aging well or what? The man defines dapper.

There were some overseas stars who flew in for the event, including Jang Dong-gun’s My Way co-star, Japanese actor Odagiri Joe. I’m thinking it’s a good thing it was So Ji-sub’s big night, for which he dressed up accordingly, otherwise he and Odagiri might’ve come wearing the same outfit. And we know how embarrassing that is.

Another My Way co-star, Chinese actress Fan Bingbing. She had one of the nice dashes of color at the event in this seafoam green number.

I promise I won’t say that every woman in a white gown is rocking a bridal look… but Kim Haneul (Blind) really does look like a bride, doesn’t she? Give her a bouquet and she’s on her way down the aisle.

Go Soo (The Front Line), mmmmm. Sometimes a simple, classic tux is best. The Go Soo inside it helps.

Park Jin-hee (Giant) is wearing a popular look, with the slit going up almost the entire leg, and manages to look tasteful doing it. Love that red on her.

The cow mustaches is back for Cha Seung-won (Best Love), which I actually dig, despite cheering when he shaved it off in Best Love. (It’s just the monstrous Athena version that I found a bit much.) Then again, a grown man trying to impress an indifferent girl every which way will always warm my jaded heart.

Kim Sun-ah came with her Fighting Spirit co-star Kim Joo-hyuk, and wears a gown with lots of flirty fringe. If I was wearing that thing, I’d be hopping all night, just to see it fly.

It doesn’t seem like the top half of her gown fits her as well as it should, but it’s Kim So-yeon (Dr. Champ, Athena), badass and gorgeous.

Omg so adorable, Yoo Ah-in (Sungkyunkwan Scandal). One moment all scruffy and hot, the next moment all boyish charm. The boy sure does clean up nice.

Sung Yuri (Romance Town) shows off another slitted gown, with a bared back for good measure.

Love the strong, confident look of soon-to-be-married Park Shi-yeon (Coffee House), who rocks the smoky eye and an unusual color. She doesn’t do the slit, but she still manages to bare some leg with that sheer skirt.

Daniel Choi (Baby-Faced Beauty), looking cutely baby-faced himself.

His co-star Gu Hye-sun (in The Musical) has worn some outrageous red carpet looks in the past, but not this time. I think the look itself suits her with the short hair and the prim collar, but it’s casual for a red carpet. It’s more something you’d wear to a screening. Or the office. Maybe in the seventies.

Lee Yoon-ji (Dream High), rawr. She wins for most daring slit of the night, though you might say it’s not so much a slit as it is a skirt that’s missing its left side. The back’s open, too, so overall she’s showing lots of skin, and looking glowy and confident as she does it.

Kang Hye-jung (Miss Ripley), also Mrs. Tablo, goes entirely the other way, opting for a mannish look in a pantsuit and glasses. And some stylin’ white shoes.

Aw, Kim Min-joon (Romance Town) is wearing a bowtie and a cummerbund. I find that so dorky and cute.

I absolutely love Min Hyo-rin‘s (Romance Town) look, as I tend to do. She just has a great red carpet fashion sense (or maybe an awesome stylist), whether she’s going cute, glam, or sexy. The patterning underneath the sheer outer layer adds interest and texture, and the flow of the gown is super pretty.

I would never have thought of Nam Sang-mi (Life Is Beautiful) as towering over a man at her modest 164 cm height, but add some heels and a floor-length gown and she looks practically statuesque with Ryu Deok-hwan (God’s Quiz) (at 167 cm).

Is Ji Sung going to keep his Protect the Boss curls? And take on more rom-coms now that it was such a hit? What a far cry from his previous image, no?

Pretty pretty. Wang Ji-hye (Protect the Boss) has a perfectly fitting gown on that makes her look (if it’s possible) even taller. See, here’s a white gown that doesn’t look bridal — they do exist!

Is that some weird lighting or is Mr. Lee Beom-soo (Giant) wearing eye makeup? Nothing wrong with that, of course; it’s just so different from his usual image. Something about guyliner just doesn’t scream “serious actor”…

Kang So-ra (Dr. Champ, Sunny) opts for flowy, frilly white:

Her Dr. Champ co-star Jung Seok-won slicks his hair back and buttons up for the event. I have this OCD impulse to straighten his bowtie. Must…resist…urge…

Park Jae-bum (Mr. Idol). Um. He’s an idol, so I guess I’m not supposed to understand his fashion?

As usual, a formal event means lots of blacks, like Hwang Woo Seul-hye (Believe in Love), who goes clean and classic with a red lip.

Jo Yeo-jung (I Need Romance, Bang-ja Chronicle) also opts for a clean, chic look:

…although I wouldn’t say Ji Sung-won (Bedevilled) does the same. After watching Ji show up to numerous awards ceremonies in the past year and usually finding her look perplexing at best (or tacky at worst), I’m concluding that the woman could really use a new stylist.

Lee Jin (Man of Honor) does more black:

…as does Yoon Jin-seo (Runaway Plan B), who opts for a mini-slit with her black number…

…while Oh In-hye‘s (Sin of a Family) slit is decidedly more maxi. Although that word doesn’t apply to her bodice, which is just present enough to avoid indecency. On the upside, she’s wearing a color.

And yay for colors! Byun Jung-soo (Manny) wears bubble-gum pink.

And while I’m not really a fan of Eom Ji-won‘s (The Woman Who Still Wants To Marry) sparkly slitted gown, she gets points for that electric blue:

…while Yoo Inna (Best Love) goes for a jewel-tone green:

And Lee Tae-im (Marry Me) wears brown:

Sohn Eun-seo is acting in period drama Love Rain; perhaps she’s getting into character with her sweet retro look:

I’ve seen Nam Gyuri (49 Days) wearing a variation on this look at multiple events. Maybe she really wants to get married.

Lee Je-hoon is definitely a new face to watch (The Front Line, Bleak Night) in the coming year(s):

Lee Chun-hee (Gloria):

Hong Su-ah (I Trusted Men, My Precious You) goes for slinky:

It’s been ages since I’ve seen Shinhwa’s Kim Dong-wan (The Person I Love), but he’s apparently got a movie lined up in the near future:

Some ladies opted for a bold pattern rather than color, like newish actress Sa Hee, who I barely recognized from Girl K (she was the whistle-blower) — must be because there’s no blood or gunfire here.

Yeh Ji-won (Ha Ha Ha) has a more understated pattern:

And Kang Ye-won (Quick, Haeundae) goes bolder. I’m pretty sure I hate this gown. Metallic looking stripes… sparkly sequins…white wings on the hem… Yup, hate.

But there’s nothing better for cheering you up than the “Ron Sisters”! Last year it was all about big sis Kim Sae-ron (Can You Hear My Heart) at all the awards, but this year her younger sisters Kim Ah-ron (Bobby) and Kim Ye-ron (Cat: Two Eyes that See Death) also have acting projects, and the matchy-matchy is adorably sweet. May we look forward to many, many more awards seasons with them.

I think Mrs. Tablo was the most captivating woman on the red carpet. The other actresses' stylists need to know that you don't necessarily have to be half naked to be beautiful. Too much side boobs were on display for my taste.....bleh.

Nothing beats a woman in a suit. You just want to know more - it's mysterious and chic.
Oh and Yoon Jin-seo. Mega-swoon.

Meanwhile I can't decide if there's a saloon missing its Madam or a can-can chorus line short of a showgirl (I'm looking at you Kang Ye-won).

I actually liked Kang Ye-Won's dress in the first two pictures. The ruffle balanced out the metallics nicely... and then JB panned (pun!) to the full length shot and it was she got a last minute ruffle attack.

this is definitely one of those situations where the dress would look great on a runway model, but shouldn't belong on the red carpet. The color is nice, but too much boobage. Must have been stressing out over a potential wardrobe malfunction all night.

Wow the Ron sisters (still weird nickname, but who cares) are so adorable! Their mother must be proud. And super excited that she gets to do not one but three outfits. I guess all mothers must dress their children in uniform outfits one day. It's a necessity (?)

Commenting on the outfits of the adults. Oh my Lord that dress Oh In-hye is wearing, what was she thinking? Sure she has nice lady bits but is this the appropriate event to showcase them? Maybe it's just me but I thought movie red carpets are supposed to be very glamorous but maybe I've watched too many Hollywood red carpets. Should've done it like Yoo In-na. Love that girl, by the way.

I'm still bummed that Jo Seung-woo is the only one in The Peach Tree that didn't walk the red carpet. I'm sure he has his reasons but my little fan girl self just can't help but have a little tantrum. On the bright side, Yoo Ah-in looks gorgeous. Like a million bucks.

And oh my God Ji Sung doing a peace sign in his photo how adorable is that?!

Oh. My. Gosh.

I've just barely blocked from memory PMY's much-too-short pink mini from yesterday, and now my eyeballs are seared by Oh In-hye.

How can a grown woman think wearing something like that looks good and acceptable at an awards show?! I admit, back in high school, and maybe partially in college, I thought revealing more skin always = sexy, but now I know that unless done with skillful restraint, it's more likely to look trashy than tasteful.

Eep.

Other than that, I love love love (most of) the dresses. Especially Park Shi-yeon and Kim So-yeon's.

October 6, 2011 at 3:45 PM

The only issue I have with Cha Seung Won is that he needs a new tailor, stat. I noticed this with some of his other suits, as well - the jackets are cut too short, with the buttons too high, as if the pattern was proportioned for a man with a much shorter torso and overall frame. It makes him look like he is wearing a little boy suit, and I am not certain if that is the look he wants to perpetuate. The pants are OK, but the jacket - criminal.

Oh In-hye's dress is too trashy. She needs to cover up her lopsided breasts. I feel embarassed for her.

My thoughts exactly!! I was wondering why she would even wear such a dress when what she really needs is to cover up those assets!

My Dongwan is so handsome. <3

And javabeans, I don't know where you read that he has a movie lined up, but it's not accurate. After getting acting praise for the musical "Hedwig" and starring as independence fighter, 'Lee Yook Sa,' in MBC's special drama, "The Climax" this year, he's received several drama and movie scenarios, but hasn't committed to anything yet. He's said he wants to do a drama before Shinhwa's March 2012 comeback next year (!!!!), so hopefully we'll get some news soon.

Gu Hye Sung looks out of place with her outfit, even more so than Jay Park (if that's possible).

I think Min Hyo-rin's dress looks like it was hastily (and badly) covered up by gauzy plastic wrapping because it was too hideous on it's own. I know the cloth isn't plastic but still. Can I scream fashion terrorist?

For me, Yoo Ah-In owned the red carpet. How gorgeous does he look without all that facial hair?=3

But that's just me. Thanks sooo much JB for this super entertaining piece! I just love your commentaries!

For a moment, i thot i was the only one not over the moon with Min Hyo-rin's gauzy draps pretending to be avant-garde fashion. She looked so washed-out in that drappy thinggi, and uncomfortable to boot.

But Go Soo.....mmmm, no fuss, no frills, just simply devastating ! I always imagine a modern real prince looks exactly like him :)

Most of them looked good. Yoo Ah-in and Daniel Choi exuded the youthful charm. Mrs Tablo- marks for suited all the way. Goo Hye Sun-yes, looked out of place when compared to the other actresses, but did stand out exuding independence, business-like chic yet feminine.

Oh In-hye - OMG!!!!!!

Kang Hye-jung and Lee Yoon Ji were *working* it. Those ladies are gorgeous from head to two; definitely the best dressed for the evening though Park Shi-Yeon's dash of olive-green is looking mighty fine as well.

And the men, wow, the men. Where to begin? There is simply nothing better than a man who can rock the suit and by goodness, Go Soo is rocking that suit like the stone age (pardon my pun; he makes my brains turn to mush). Sharp, clean, sleek, boyishly handsome, sexy, is there no adjective the man can't claim? No offense to him or his fans, but Park Jae Bum could take a few pages out of Go Soo's book any day...like seriously any day now.

And of course the Ron sisters are too adorable; it half makes me want girls just so I can dress them up like that...then I think about the money I'll need to pay for said dresses and I realize who needs children when you can have a dog. :3

My fave CSW his gorgeous, I don`t like the hair though!

Yes! That gown is exactly as JB described it "If I was wearing that thing, I’d be hopping all night, just to see it fly." I love how it reinvents the classic princess style evening gown by having the fringe recreate the outline of a spreading skirt.

I love CSW but he needs to carry some grease mopping tissues. It's always bothered me but his charisma is so amazing I'm still a fan!

Love how that gown is so Sunah. It was not just some gown that she put on for the sake of an awards show but it really showcases her personality.

Fun and flirty. :)

I really think she rocks the red carpet all the time.

Ooh, I wonder where Ricky The Royal Highness was while his wife Yoo In Na was posing on the read carpet? She was totally rocking that emerald green gown.

As for that matter, there were some very well dressed people and some who needed help.

I think one thing that surprises me the most is that I always see very beautiful and vivid colors on the hanbok's when the ladies take pictures, but like Javabeans said, mostly the ladies wore black or white variations. The awards ceremony seems too Westernized with regard to the women's fashion.

The men had a few daring looks with the style, but mostly black to gray.

But for me, I have to say that they all looked good. Each in their own fashion.

Yoo In Na looked so pretty on the red carpet! Loved her dress. But I think my favorite was Kang Hye Jung in a suit. It was so unique from all the other female actresses and she looked good in it. :)

And Yoo Ah In!<3 Cuteee!

As usual, So Ji Sub is rocking awards night. Oh In-hye- i think it be better off not having anything at the top, so might as well take that off because you just barely covering anything there. Props for the risky gown anyway.
and I say, so many black this this time, so i guess the Ron's sister is probably the only thing I liked this time.
