Offical posters for Jackal Is Coming
by javabeans
Posters are out for Jaejoong and Song Ji-hyo’s upcoming action-comedy movie The Jackal Is Coming, which is gearing up with promos now that it’s about a month out from its theatrical release.
The premise of the movie alone is enough to hook my interest—a hitwoman is hired to kidnap a pop star, and complications ensue—and the posters and taglines highlight the comic potential further. For instance, Jaejoong’s poster reads: “Radiant pretty-boy looks, ladykiller, top star Choi Hyun.” He’s sitting on a throne, beckoning to you, wearing what looks like fur legwarmers. Ah, idol fashion. Hyun seems outwardly polite and friendly, but in actuality “a king pain in the ass” (heh) with haughty airs.
Then there’s Song Ji-hyo, striking a Charlie’s Angel pose and wielding a handgun, whose tagline reads: “Taught by Léon, acknowledged by Kill Bill, legendary killer Bong Min-jung.” Something tells me that career winning streak is about to end. Since she’s probably gonna fall in love with the asshole celebrity, can we at least have her kick his butt around a little first? Something tells me he could use some ego smackdowns.
Below that poster is Han Sang-jin’s (Angel’s Temptation, Sons of Sol Pharmacy): “Former FBI, utterly inflexible, secret agent Team Leader Shin.” Oh Dal-soo (The Thieves) stars as Squad Chief Ma: “Rural detective and pervert with animalistic senses.” Which, ha. And Kim Sung-ryung (The Client, Bang-ja Chronicle) is Angela, “The flower boy star’s sponsor.” Omo! So he’s a kept man? HA, that cracks me up.
At bottom are photos from the recent red carpet of the 17th Busan International Film Festival’s opening ceremony, from October 4. Yeah, they’re looking pretty flawless.
The movie opens in November.

I'm really anticipating this film! Jaejoong as a haughty kept flower boy idol is more than enough of a premise to draw me in.

Wow. I really love her style. Although my favourite outfit of hers remains what she wore to the crime squad press conference, her dress here is beautiful.

I really, really hope that this movie will be a sleeper hit!! For the sake of JYJ <33~~
It broke my heart to see Junsu being so thankful and cheerful even though the National Para Games organizers treated him so disrespectfully. For those of you who don't know, there's an unspoken ban of JYJ members on any music-related broadcast; SM uses its slimy influence to stonewall them. Therefore, SBS did not film Junsu's performance at the National Para Games, even though they filmed all the other groups/artists' performances. Because Junsu's performance wasn't going to be broadcast, he was given second class treatment. The emcees told the audience that ZE:A was the last performance of the night (for the sake of the broadcast), when actually Junsu was the last performance of the night. Many audience members left, thinking that the concert was over. The filming crew started packing up during Junsu's performance and Junsu had to perform in the dark, without a proper introduction/interview. The whole situation was pretty shitty.
Anyways, the success of Jaejoong and Yoochun's dramas was like a big F U to SM. It's still pretty sad though that dramas are the only way JYJ can appear on broadcasts. Hopefully Jaejoong's movie and Yoochun's new drama will also be successful and help them appear on music shows again soon ;^;

.... WTF. Hold on I gotta go get my gun to go kill someone over at SM, SBS or whoever is responsible. That is just.... so heartbreaking for me just as a cassie, I don't think I could have even begun to imagine what that would be like as Junsu.... Aishhh these asswholes... D:

Yes, it really did happen T_T
You can read the National Para Games organizers' lame "apology" here: http://www.allkpop.com/2012/10/the-national-para-games-apologizes-to-jyjs-junsu-and-his-fans
It's not really the National Para Games organizers' fault that SBS decided not to film Junsu, but they handled the situation very badly. There was much confusion about Junsu's stage due to their lack of organization. It's just shameful that they treated rookies like ZE:A with more respect than an established veteran like Junsu >:[

Yeah, I heard about that too...
I am not a fan 'cause kpop music isn't my thing, but I do like DB5K's songs, and I really like Junsu, he's an incredible artist and such a heart-warming person. I felt like crying when I read thoses articles and what he wrote on his twitter.
I wish JYJ would stop being banned like this. It's sickening to see those companies bullying them, it reveals how frighteningly powerful they are. JYJ fighting!

SM's a bully and shame on the Big Three! Karma's a b!tch and those who're mistreating JYJ or any artist will get it in hoards in the future. For their sake I hope JYJ do extremely well in their endeavors whether it be acting or music. JYJ, aja aja fighting!!

Definitely have to see this one. Just the picture of Haejoong cracks me up. And while I'm commenting, I am sure I speak for many when I thank all of you for your wonderful recaps. Love your wit and perceptiveness. You provide insight into a culture I knew only from k dramas. And for many series, your recaps are more interesting than the shows themselves. (I skip watching them and just follow drama beans instead).

Know what you mean have so many friends who would rather read dramabeans than watch the drama. I actually have to exercise a lot of restraint to keep from reading a recap before I watch a drama. The coolest part for me is reading the recap the next morning after watching the drama the night before which is what Im doing with this older drama "the last scandal of my life " which is showing on our local channel in Zimbabwe, was super upset because I missed the 1st episode somehow(as you can guess have not yet found a website from which I can access Kdrama from my country )and I immediately started scouring dramabeans to find out if it had ever been recapped and lo and behold javabeans actually did some recaps a few years ago. So even when you miss episodes on tv you can always read the recaps Thank you guys!

Sounds fun. That last BIF photo is gorgeous. But hey Jaejoong, slow down a little bit! The lady is wearing a long dress and in dainty high heels.

Ji hyo looks hot and stunning in 2nd pictures and the the last? Both were gorgeous.. Hmmm.. JYJ's doesn't need any "crap stone" to get shiner, because they had perfect value especially as singer..

I knooow thats my fav pic from that night too hehehe
I guess the chances of Jae Joong being on Running man to plug the movie with Song Ji Hyo is near impossible, although it will send Running Man's ratings through the roof I think hehehe Esp since their recent numbers slump...
Thanks for the breakdown on the posters javabeans! I feel like watching this movie now! weee... maybe it will be my first korean movie IN the theatre hahaha Makes me feel like I should gather up a troop to go watch and support..

“Kim Sung-ryung (The Client, Bang-ja Chronicle) is Angela, “The flower boy star’s sponsor.” Omo! So he’s a kept man? HA, that cracks me up.”

Ji Hyo looks exquisite from top to bottom in that simple outfit. Jaejoong looks good as well...he never looked bad, but after seeing casual Ji Hyo on running, I am glad to see dress up. The movie sounds interesting...hope she stays bad ass thru and thru.
