So Ji-Sub in Japan

Hot Stuff So Ji-Sub will visit Japan as part of a promotional tour for his recent hit film, "Rough Cut aka A Movie is a Movie". The actor received rave reviews for his performance despite of the low budget. In the past year, he earned his first Best New Actor nomination and went on to win the 2008 Chung-young Movie Award and the Baek-sang Award. Busy filming Cain and Abel, the actor won’t be able to afford a long stay, unfortunately. During his visit, the actor will appear at a press conference, photo shoots, and interviews with influential movie critics. The movie already has a large fan base from the monster opening night on Feb. 26. This film has an interesting setup: a movie within a movie. The exploration of the movie making process from two men. One man is an actor named Jang Soo Ta (Kwang Ji-Hwan), a real street fighter with an anger problem. The other is Lee Kang Pae (So Ji-Sub) who thinks acting is just faking things but agrees to shoot a movie under one condition: they fight like real men for the action scenes. There's the usual subplots of gangsters, girlfriends, etc., but I won't go into much detail. So if you watch it, be prepared to spend some time getting into this film and finding out who's going to be the winner of this bloody battle of no lame stunts or graphics. The co-star, Kang Ji-Hwan already did his promotional tour prior to So Ji-sub. You can view some move still-cuts of So Ji-Sub and Kang Ji-Hwan below.
