The weather was perfect with the stars twinkling in the clear night. However, the red carpet at the 13th Pusan International Film Festival was not as glittery as the previous year.
And the sudden death of top actress Choi Jin-shil, the festival starts on a gloomy note.
Only a few big time celebrities showed. Not only that, the red carpet was more like a runway with the celebrities practically running to their seats. Too bad.
As for fashion, the main theme was long chiffon gowns or with dresses with some sort of detailing in the front. Check it out.
The Pusan International Film Festival runs from October 2nd to 11th.
With his hair painted on and makeup in place, Andre Kim lumbered down the red carpet in his signature outfit. I wonder what he looks without the spacesuit, paint and makeup? We thought he was the best dressed (j/k)
Cha Seung-won. In real life he is super tall and lanky at 188cm tall. He was crossing the road when a random girl spotted him and yelled out “Cha Seung-won!.” Soon after, a gaggle of girls surrounded him and he told them to “be quiet” and then jumped into a black van.
Choi Jungyoon Jung sunkyung look like twins wearing black gowns. And we all know that black is the safest choice
Eugene. Pictures do not do Eugene’s bust any justice. They are much bigger in real life-up close. The dress was fitted and simple in black.
Hyunbin coupled up with Lee Bo-young but both look like they don’t want to be there. Very stiff. Although they compliment each other in the black and white outfits
Jang Dong-gun just whipped by on the red carpet. Barely got a glimpse of him since everyone was screaming, standing up and taking pictures. He looks great in a classic penguin suit.
Jung Ryu-won chose a dark salmon colored chiffon gown with a high empire waist. It works because she is so stick skinny.
Kang Hye-jung and Shin Hyun-joon hold hands as they walk down the runway. All eyes were on this couple. Kang Hye-jung looks fab with red lipstick and matching red belt but the dead animal on her shoulder need to go. That’s just gross.
Kim Ji-woo sticks with the classics? as in a taffeta wine gown. Who wears taffeta these days? And in wine? That color is reserved for the older ajummas. Wait… she is one.
Kim Jung-eun shimmers in this goddess-like dress! The natural makeup and glowy skin compliments the dress perfectly. Fabulousity!
Kim Rae-won & Han Eun-jung are a slightly odd couple together? somehow they don’t seem comfortable with each other? Han Eun-jung takes a plain looking black halter dress and adds some oomph with the gold tassle details.
Kim So-yeon did choose something more comfortable this year with a green satin gown. If you look closely at the front, the straps look like a spider web and the dress is held together by stitching. Cool. But the dress and the long ironed straight hair make her look like a witch. All she’s missing is her broomstick.
Ko Ara sticks to the classics in a black knee-length dress with feather detailing, simple accessories and equally simple but classic makeup with the cat eye. Girl looks pulled together and fabulous!
Lee Da-hee glows in this nude colored chiffon dress. Gorgeous!
Lee Dong-wook zooms down the red carpet. The red carpet is more like a runway? it’s elevated and runs through the audience. Where is Eugene?
Lee Jung-jin. A few months ago he was almost unrecognizable because of post surgery? But now that the bloating is gone, he looks better, but his face has changed. Too bad.
Lee Misook brings her cute son along for the red carpet walk. Up close, the East of Eden actress is gorgeous. The camera does not do her justice. She was seated in the front row and kept chatting on her cellphone.
Lee Sun-kyoon & Choi Kanghee. The actress wears an interestingly pattered dress that looks a bit too casual for the red carpet.
Lee Yeon-hee opts for something simple but sweet in this long lavender chiffon layered dress. Conservative but lovely.
Oh Ji-ho wears an ill-fitting suit? especially the shrunken vest and exposed necktie. Please stick to the classics.
Shin Mina looks fabulous in this white chiffon dress. Gorgeous.
Park Joon-hyung, So-hee (Wondergirls), Park Jin-young. Strutting down the red-carpet, Sohee is super tall in platform heels and her legs looked endless. Park Joon-hyung (with the corn rows) keeps it cool with white runners and sunglasses. Why the threesome are together on the red carpet, we have no idea.
Kong Hyojin has always had an eclectic taste in fashion (being fashion disaster, but this time the cute apple hairdo and the feathered gown doesn’t look that bad. In fact, she looks like an ostrich.
Park Eun-hye wears a dress that could have been more flattering if it fit better.
Lee Jin (with Lee Jungjin) keeps her puppies tightly together in this simple black satin dress.
Im Sung-min also sticks with the celebrity favorite- black. Yes, it fits well, but couldn’t she has chosen a different color?
Lee Hwa-sun chose a different color but has feathered growth on the front of her dress. If you want attention, then pink feathered dress would be it.
Kim Suna is hardly recognizable. I can’t put my finger on it.
While others wear summer fabrics of chiffon, Park Jin-hee prefers a dark conservative purple velvet dress. Simple yes, fun no.
So…. it means that Rain wasn’t invited right? is it for this festival or the others? if it’s this one and he’s not there, maybe he and his managers have been delusional enough and said that they were there, but we happened to miss them.
Yes, Kim Jung Eun shimmers. Her gown glitters with a red and black background. Beautiful hair and dress coordiantion. She pull off with elegance.
Shin Mina is gorgeous and Lee Dahae has nice cleavage.
the ladies all look gorgeous in their gowns. no disasters so far…
this made me fall asleep…
why there is no Song Hye Kyo?
le da hee looks GREAT!~!
some of the dresses were boring. I did like Jung ryu-won and Ko Ara’s dress. they looked good enough.
I love all the dresses that weren’t black! actually, some of the black dresses dont look bad either. I LOVE Jung Ryu Won’s and Shin Mina’s dress.
I had loved Kim So-yeon’s look- thought it was classic and bold at the same time. I think Park Eun-hye’s dress is supposed to be one of those hanbok-inspired designer dresses. And Lee Jung jin looks HOT in his 9 end 2 outs hair- this floppy hair makes his eyes look small and bland instead of striking. Why did he go in for surgery? What for?
I still can’t get over what Kim Jung-eun has done to her face.
Dong Wook is looking gooood.
did rain come? hahahaha
Kim So-yeon is so gorgeous! Yeah she’s very sexy, the most beautiful girl this night.
lol, overall no disaster, just wondering why sohee is attending and none of the other wonder girls is around?…
is JYP playing teachers pet or something…zzzz
hope next time..they choose a much better color..since koreans are light skin..yellow, blue or red is better..rather than wearing black..you need to grab attention on this kind of events..Publicity..the actress in green gown is the best..different from others..but should have tried to think about doing her hair..i will just watch arirang showbiz extra for more..take care y’all^_^
POPSEOUL, please be mindful over the comments that u used in posting .
You are not a professional image/fashion consultant who have the rights to comment on the celebrities’ outfit, matching partners or so and even their feelings. You are not them, how do u know?
Please be neutral when making such comments. Do not be biased or act like a typical netizen.
The celebrities are there to support the moving on of 13th Pusan International Film Festival despite the sudden death of Choi. So be respectful to those celebrities who turned up in the event.
i love KIM JUNG EUN’s attire and make up. She looks like a real Goddess. I hope next time though she will have an escort while walking down the red carpet. She has an actor bf Lee Seo Jin but I have never seen them together in public functions such as awards ceremony.
eugene is sleek and slammin’!
i love shim mina’s dress
Lee Dong Wook is as dashing as ever
…sigh!
Is that really Lee Da Hae?
And Andre Kim is just being Andre Kim
POPSEOUL DON’T BE SO MEAN!!
I’d have to agree with OUTRAGEOUS with this one.
Let’s all be more respectful especially this time since Korea had just lost Choi Jin Shil. It seems that many, among the Korean entertainment industry and people from around the world (including me), have been affected by her death.
I’ll comment on this subject as soon as I get some more sleep!
For Kim Sun A, she hasn’t had plastic surgery if that’s what you’re thinking. She’s gained some weight. I read somewhere at daum that there was a lot of flack from viewers for the weight she’s put on. Though the I blame should go to the writers and producers for ‘When It’s At Night’ downfall. They portrayed it as if it was a comedy and it come close to delivery. I love Suna, but I thought that the weight she’s put on made her seem more tired and older then she is. Though, she’s still beautiful to me and the weight she put on doesn’t even fit in the category of ‘fat’. It’s tough to be in the ET industry where you have to especially care for your image.
I so want Choi Kang Hui’s dress, I’d so where that.
Kang Hyo Jin I love her eclectic style. I think the fashion directors in ‘Love Marriage’ might of used her fashion sense as an idol for Kim Min Hui’s character, because I thought of Kang Hyo Jin everytime I saw Kang Hyun’s style.
~No..its not Lee Da Hae, my girl fame…
That is Lee Da Hee…different actress…
^ though I mainly blame the script/writer/producer for ‘When it’s at Night’, what turned me off most was Suna’s flat delivery. She didnt add interest or life into the character, too many of her expressions there even looked downright like Samsoon in a hellish nonstop PMS. I was cringing when I watched, had to stop to savage my sanity and what I rem I liked about the chubby lovable Samsoon.
I think she gained more wt for Samsoon, but that didnt drag her down to this lethargic grumpy mess. She still looked a bit frumpy here.
i like Jang Dong-gun and Jung Ryu Won and Sohee’s outfits best
they looked extra sharp
WHOAAAA I LOVE SOHEE’S OUTFIT SO MUCH. SHE LOOKS SO CUTE AND PREETY.
WONDER GIRLS JANGG!!!!!!
SOHEE<<3
Everyone looks so beautiful! I can’t decide on which dress looks the best. They all look good!
Too bad I can’t wear those dresses.. or could I even look as good as them.
I put off may thump to ms kim jung eun… she great and stylist fashionable actress…. everything was perfect
jung ryu won is soooooooo gorgeous!
JYP is banging Sohee. I KNOW HE IS!!!
SoHee’s the ONLY actress in the group duh! So stop hating if u know nothing.
But all of them Wonder Girls will be appearing on the 4th.
ooh i liked PS’ “i was there” realism in her comments. so that’s lee mi-sook with her son? i thought it was her boyfriend since she’s always bedding younger men in the movies
y’know last years was actually LESS star-studded (totally ZERO A-listers), because they’re tryin’ to stage a comeback for the movie community this year.
JYP’s presence is a stretch, but i guess park joon-hyung’s hollywood cameos count as “movie acting” for PIFF.
this is like, the 2nd or 3rd dress for kong hyo-jin this month? save the ostrich!!
^ i meant kong hyo-jin’s “feather dress”!
Jung Ryu Won looks horribly skinny! does she realise that?
Kim So-yeon, Kong Hyojin and Jung Ryu-won are real ‘Fashionistas’ ^_^ .. it is all about style .. awards nights can be use for good publicity .. need to stand out among the rest but be sure you will be in the ‘Best Dress List’ .. just disappointed with Kim Sun Ah (although she is still my favorite actress)it is too safe to just wear black :O( .. i hope next time she will wear something outstanding and superb ^_^ disappointed with Hyun Bin, no smile from our cute guy
Random(& somewhat disturbing) but I have to point it out ^-^, the 3rd picture of Lee Da-Hee. The man in the background looks like he’s licking his lips & thinking “I want a piece of that”.
Owh..i Love song hye kyo dress..she looks gorgeous!and somehow…its kinda weird y does her name changed to lee da hee…haha..never mind..anyway,most of them more keen to choose black colour…and somehow it looks like,they r going to a funeral,not a film festival..hOpe next year,they will choose another colour dat is more vibrant maybe~
“Park Joon-hyung, So-hee (Wondergirls), Park Jin-young… Why the threesome are together on the red carpet, we have no idea.”
That’s because So-hee is from Wondergirls and Park Joon-hyung is from G.O.D., but under JYPE. Or well, G.O.D. is disbanded now, so IDK how that goes. I thought Popseoul knew that. Guess not?
kim sunah looks really nice =]] and WHY IS EUGENE AND DONGWOOK NOT TOGETHERRR!!! blehh im mad XP
I think LYH looked really pretty in that purple dress. Simple yet lovely^^
i dont think i recognize who Lee Da Hee is. but whoever she is, she looks gorgeous there. her boobs look real nice and her face kinda looks like song hye gyo.
very pretty! love eugene’s whole look! and the girl in the salmon dress needs more meat on her bones!
SHK where are youu? ;(
she’s da best!!
The picture of “Kim Ji Woo” above…for some reason looks like Kim Ji Soo to me…
kim sun ah look elegant-gorgeous maybe her gown simple but perfect on her.
Jung Ryu-won looked amazing in that dress!
Jung Ryu Won looks the best =) And Lee Misook can look gorgeous when shes all dolled up.
honestly I think putting this news up is a little rushed I think all the articles recent to Choi Jin-Shil should stay up for a little longer. I think most people will understand what I think and probably agree, we need to honor one of Korea’s most highly honored actresses and pay respects to her family and her 2 sons who she has left behind
That’s my name JANG DONG GUN…you can definitely see that Lee Da Ha and Lee dong wook are together. SOOO CUTE
Did you notice the nipple slip on the first photo of Shin Mina. Its at the very top of the page. just take a closer look.
jung ryu won is starting to look disgusting. her head is getting too big for her body. somebody feed that girl!!!
lee bo young’s gown look so long for her,kim jung eun is so beautiful and ko ara…andre kim as usual look so weird and what’s up with his face?too much powder?!he look like a dead person to me who got up from his grave just to attend the PIFF lol
Is that Lee Da Hee different from Lee Da Hae?
“kim ji-woo” is actually kim ji-SOO
I thought it was MY GIRL LEE DA HAE!!
They have the same name with that girl LEE DA HEE!!
Only the spelling! Where is da hae? Dong wook is there!!
Eugene so simple but ROCKS……
she truely has this BEAUTIFUL face……
as in BEAUTIFUL………
hhmmmmm.. y LDW and EE not together……
maybe bec they can walk alone together…(they both famous)
i mean those couple who walk together..
is like (the famous w/ not so famous) hehehe
peace…….
1. Jung Ryu Won looks famished, but her dress fits well on her. SHE NEEDS SOME MEAT. That eye makeup and her scrawny body make her look dreadfully ill.
2. I beg to differ on Ara’s dress. It looks like… chest hair or something.
3. Lee Yeonhee looks gorgeous in that lavender dress.
4. Wow, Lee Jin. I didn’t see that coming.
OMG! I FELL IN LOVE WITH SHIN MINA’S OUTFIT! sooo gorgeous!
Although jung ryu won is too thin, she looks pretty and elegant . I like her dark salmon colored gown because of its beautiful color . she is in her fashion very good …
i thought park eun hye was preggy when i saw the first pic.hahaha
ohhhhh
A LOT OF YUMMIES!!
love:
jung ryu-won’s dress
ko ara’s shoes & bangle
shin mina’s dress
ahhh shin min ah all the wayyyyyyy!!! ^^ she’s really gorgeous
the dresses chose by the female artistes or stylist? they shouldn’t have put on animal furs when attending such grand event. look at Kang Hye-jung! was she looks fabulous in ‘red’ lipstick? is terrible! lipstick or blood from the animal that on her (dangling on her shoulder). she bimbo? how can she acted so comfortably with the death animal fur on her. live animal skinning is a very very cruel act. the animal mostly ‘unskinned’ alive. if a person with a good personality and kindhearted will refuse to put on animal furs. hopefully all people in the world will stop buying and wearing animal furs. remember the buying stop, so do the killing.
yeah agree to stop the cruelty
fck those stars who wears animals skin,they should be unskinned alive so is the pouchers and those fcking businessman and designers!!who do they think they are?GOD?!
i also wanna say FCK to those japanese,chinese,other countries who cook dolphins,whales,sharks and other endangered animals just to earn money,fck those stupid people who cook and eat exotic animals/those who used animals for medicinal purposes…FCK them!!x100
karma will haunt them someday…
yeah, agreed to jenfraud. salute to you!!!!! actually the most cruelty creatures in the world are human. we, human, are created from evolution. we are once animals before. human get rid of animals as their will. not fair!!!! furs!!!! what is it got to do with fashion. if one day, human’s skin are needed for fashion. is it going to unskinned human alive?!!!!! please be kind to any of the animals around you. they feel, they sense, they cry…… as we are…..

hooray for animals!!!!
celebs/designers who used and wear furs should be punished!!!i feel so bad and heartbroken for those poor animals and angry for those heartless b*tches
JANG DONG GUN IS JUST AWESOME! HE LOOKS GREAT…SIMPLY GOODLOOKING.
Some very beautiful gals at the awards. My pick would be Lee Da Hee.
Thanks a lot.
popseoul is trying so hard to pull off a perez hilton.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08-INbL8WIA
Come on Popseoul you know wanna blog it. D:
no offence but jung ryon won certainly looked like a walking corspe. wats with her figure?

I think Kim Ji Soo looks fine. It’s better than all the loose flowy dresses everyone else is wearing
hm…..
=.=”
Can someone please translate this? “안녕하세요 저는한국살아요~ 외국에친구만들고싶어서이렇게 메일보냅니다 한국어아신다고 되어있어서 한국어로 적어보냅니다
답장보내주세요 기다리고있겠습니다~ ” Thanx so much!
i noticed that event….no Bae Yong Jun there….till now i miss him…..
WHOA WAT HAPPEN TO EVERYONE DID THEY ALL GET PLASTIC SUGERY OR SOMETHING
i think Park Eun-hye looks great!
maybe you’re the ajumma, popseoul.
you have no right to judge how the actors/actresses want to dress
& I agree with Sharurotto
It’s bad enough to say KJS (not KJWoo) looks like an ajumma.
Take a look in the mirror, Popseoul
& stop slammin’ the celebs.
btw, Kim Ji Soo is not Kim Ji Woo -_-” Please change it.
& I think KJE looks awesome
oeeeeeeeeee a mi me encanta kim sun ah y hyun bin soy fans de ellos integro un club de fans dedicado haaa kimj sun ah and hyunbin digo q a pesar d haber hecho hace años la novela juntos deben d estar como pareja
