Jo In-sung and Joo Jin-mo go man-on-man

Joinsung_joojimo_081124

Jo In-sung and Joo Jin-mo get it on in the upcoming film by director Yoo Ha called, “Frozen Flower” (쌍화점). The trailer, just released today, is the talk of the town. In particular, the love scene where Jo In-sung looks longingly into Joo Jin-mo’s eyes and Song Ji-hyo’s sexy shots with Joo Jin-mo are the cause of the stir.

So will scandalous gay love scenes from the Joseon era bring crowds into  the theaters? Probably.

“Frozen Flower” premieres on December 30th 2008 in Korea.

Check out the trailer of “Frozen Flower”

    The Second picture is Song Ji-hyo with Jo In-seong so it’s not a kiss between the two guys.

    Don’t be paranoid,this piece is only a trailer..So,just wait for the movie to show in the theater,then that was the time to say something against…
    But for me,Jo In Sung is a good actor and a handsome one…

  11. 11 selva November 24, 2008 at 9:59 pm

    the trailer looks awesome, but the one person here who will screw it all up to me is Song Ji-hyo grrrrr I hate her, and I think she can’t act poooooo. Sorry fans.

  12. 12 nozomi05 November 24, 2008 at 10:09 pm

    i love androgynous looking men. i don’t believe that guys who seems prettier than some women are automatically gay. its just jealousy talking for some girls who don’t look like girls and guys who wants to be as pretty as those other guys

  13. 13 Jess November 24, 2008 at 10:14 pm

    Oooh, can’t wait for this one~
    JIS always looks hot with longer hair to me <3

  31. 31 so November 25, 2008 at 12:06 am

    Sory too nasty, can’t watch it! It is not my world, I like straight man lol!

  32. 32 ss501 November 25, 2008 at 12:17 am

    LOL @ some of the rampant homophobia here.

    In other news, it looks pretty good, lots of flashy action, but some how I just get the feeling that it’s captializing a little too much on the homosexual romance genre. Exploitation is just distasteful.

    Still it’s just a trailer, and if it has the merit to stand on its own, why not?

  33. 33 Ayame November 25, 2008 at 12:20 am

    OMG!!! this looks so good.
    I wanna see this, but I’ll have to wait till it comes on DVD.
    I think this will make it big in the theaters, just look at BBM.
    I doubt that the people in Korea is that close minded.

  34. 34 anna November 25, 2008 at 12:28 am

    The trailer has me believing that Joo Jin-mo will die.. especially the part where Jo In-sung hugs him. He looks too peaceful.. but then again, he could just be sleeping.. still, there’s that really bad feeling again where every gay-themed movies have to have a tragic ending where one of the mains dies :( I hope I’m wrong.

  35. 35 strawberryfieldsforever November 25, 2008 at 12:37 am

    FINALLY! FINALLY! FINALLY! yey!!!!! the trailer is out..and soon, the movie will be released ^____^ can’t wait to see jo in sung..i’m a big fan of his!

  36. 36 lexi November 25, 2008 at 12:38 am

    ohmygod. joo jin mo is so freaking hot.

  37. 37 strawberryfieldsforever November 25, 2008 at 12:39 am

    and yeah, jo in sung looks hot with the long hair! woot woot!

  38. 38 cookiekillaa November 25, 2008 at 12:48 am

    kekekeke finally :P

  39. 39 loosma November 25, 2008 at 12:56 am

    WOOP I APPROVE.

  40. 40 Sara November 25, 2008 at 1:08 am

    Looks like it will be a sad ending. Then again, gay movies always end sad, unless they’re outrageous comedies. Dramatic ones are all sad.

  41. 41 girl November 25, 2008 at 1:09 am

    the film looks good! but some thing is…

  42. 42 eunbyul November 25, 2008 at 1:28 am

    i don’t think that’s jo in sung in that pic with joo jin moo. it looks like the girl..

  43. 43 tumyeit November 25, 2008 at 1:33 am

    2 handsome men ??
    gay movie ??
    why not ??

  44. 44 XyLenT November 25, 2008 at 1:37 am

    interesting….

  45. 45 Kayla November 25, 2008 at 1:45 am

    The love scene there is between a man and woman though.

  46. 46 Jess November 25, 2008 at 1:49 am

    Did Jo In Sung get a nose job?? his nose looks awfully high than the last time I saw him in the Classic.

  47. 47 blah November 25, 2008 at 2:50 am

    ^ nope, it just the angle i think…

    omo, cant wait for this, i wanna see insung play the the bisex role.
    hope it will good!

  48. 48 what the... November 25, 2008 at 2:53 am

    i think that sex scene is with joo jin mo and the empress…not with jo in sung.

  49. 49 Lina November 25, 2008 at 2:56 am

    @tumyeit
    exactly!!!!!

  50. 50 oopsy November 25, 2008 at 3:40 am

    why do krns do GAY movies now

  51. 51 yesss November 25, 2008 at 3:54 am

    the culture represented in the film is extremely chinese-inspired…

  52. 52 hay hay November 25, 2008 at 4:04 am

    brokeback mountain anyone?

  53. 53 crypticbluerose November 25, 2008 at 4:09 am

    goodness gracious…
    lol
    so…boy meets boy
    antique bakery
    frozen flower..who next lol

  54. 54 jenfraud November 25, 2008 at 4:30 am

    whoooh love the trailer!!!can’t wait to see the movie,JJM and JIS is so freakin’ hot!!!

  55. 55 Julia November 25, 2008 at 4:36 am

    Can they make another movie called “Hot Flower” or something like that? Adding me in the sex scene, caught in the middle of those two hunks..

    *sorry, I can’t keep my mind straight right now. I love In Sung & Jin mo :D

  56. 56 yuri November 25, 2008 at 4:44 am

    And still I don’t understand how koreans be making these movies, yet still be so closeminded towards gay people…

  57. 57 Shar November 25, 2008 at 4:49 am

    ^Julia, i’m sure you’d make a wonderful sandwich, lol. Looks really good. I don’t care if it’s about gays or straights. If the movie is good, i’m sooo watching it.

  58. 58 Shar November 25, 2008 at 4:52 am

    Yuri, it’s the same here in America, ppl in the movie industry might be openminded, but we still have so many religious ppl who are still close minded to everything outside their beliefs. It’s not every religious person, but it’s still enough to make it hard for those that are homosexuals to have equal rights as everyone else in this country.

  59. 59 soju November 25, 2008 at 4:59 am

    looks like another step in the right direction. who knows … maybe someday people will accept people for who they are and not judge others based on race, sex, or lifestyle preferences.

    anyway … this movie looks very promising! can’t wait to see it!

  60. 60 guava November 25, 2008 at 5:08 am

    ….looks interesting.

  61. 61 Raye November 25, 2008 at 5:19 am

    just because their are gay movies doesn’t mean ppl are accepting it. they just know teenage girls are going to eat this up.

    the movie looks like a mixture of king’s man and brokeback. I’m not going to watch it because both of those men are ugly.

  62. 62 SP November 25, 2008 at 5:20 am

    The second picture doesn’t look like Jo In Sung.

    He looks like an actual girl. hahah

  63. 63 Celia November 25, 2008 at 5:21 am

    reminds me of BrookBack Mountain

  64. 64 LadyIgraine November 25, 2008 at 5:41 am

    looks good…

  65. 65 felisshi November 25, 2008 at 6:12 am

    JIS and JJM are 2 of my favorite Korean actors. If this is a true story which happened during the Joseon Dynasty, then it must be worth watching. I’m sure it will be a box office success as the story sounds intriguing. People tend to see movies which are out of the ordinary just like Brokeback mountain. I admire these actors who accept the role as gay people. It must really be challenging to them. Congratulations to JIS and JJM. To me they are already winners.

  66. 66 K November 25, 2008 at 6:18 am

    Yeah, two handsome guys together.
    Can’t wait to watch the movie.

  67. 67 Noodle November 25, 2008 at 6:52 am

    Although I’m curious about how they’ll show something like that set in the Joseon era, I think this theme is actually being exploited. There’s just too many of them coming out! Oh well. Trends are trends.

  68. 68 Lildestiny November 25, 2008 at 6:54 am

    O.O speechless

  69. 69 Dovey November 25, 2008 at 7:14 am

    I wanna see this. However, during filming, I wonder if these two studs felt…awkward? lol XD

  70. 70 lev November 25, 2008 at 7:36 am

    “It’s gettin’ hot in here… so take off all yo’ clothes…”

    LOL.

    I really want to see this. Besides the whole love scene. XDD
    What sucks though is that I can’t tell who was making out with who because of the identical long hair. x<

  71. 71 Sam November 25, 2008 at 7:54 am

    dunno.but the movie seems friggin awesome,its gaytastic lol
    plus jo in-sung looks hot,ok no beautiful hahahaha, but the other dude does look hot. hell its better than brokeback mountain hahahahaha

  72. 72 Megan November 25, 2008 at 8:33 am

    So much Chinese clothing and architecture! :o

  73. 73 sc November 25, 2008 at 8:36 am

    the gay community in korea will def. grow after this movie..now that being gay is “cool”

  74. 74 Cera November 25, 2008 at 8:53 am

    I’m really excited!

    For the movie, I mean.

    ^_^

  75. 75 michiko November 25, 2008 at 9:02 am

    jess, he does not need a nose job, i think its his “thinness” that got his nose emphasized.

    anyways, i like the trailers, very tastefully done and gay theme is contextual not just to lure watchers. I have to admit In-sung looks more beautiful than the queen, look at his features, very pure!!! hope you make good In-sung, take care always!!!

  76. 76 se7en's chick November 25, 2008 at 9:22 am

    oooooh man on man action….now thats HOT lol
    But girl on girl action is just not cool, maybe b/c i’m a chick and that stuff is just wrong

  77. 77 L November 25, 2008 at 10:06 am

    I NEED TO SEE THIS!

  78. 78 janepak November 25, 2008 at 10:09 am

    reminded me slightly of 왕의 남자 + Curse of the Golden Flower…

  79. 79 sierra November 25, 2008 at 10:16 am

    Ewwie…. the Koreans really dig this man on man stuff? :P

  80. 80 NYCgrl November 25, 2008 at 11:01 am

    hot. I’m looking forward to this.

  81. 81 Anna Bessonova #1 November 25, 2008 at 12:22 pm

    “And still I don’t understand how koreans be making these movies, yet still be so closeminded towards gay people…”

    Because these movies are about exploiting gay romance for the female fans. Not about portraying homosexual characters as 3-dimensional people who aren’t defined solely by their sexuality.

  82. 82 calmer410 November 25, 2008 at 12:33 pm

    Brokeback Mountain ala Korea.

  83. 83 cheryle12 November 25, 2008 at 1:03 pm

    wow. i cant wait for the movie. the trailer looks so good. i am super excited but i have to admit i was scream “NO!!!!!!!” when i read the headline. i hope it will be great.

  84. 84 Kate November 25, 2008 at 1:21 pm

    uhmmm

  85. 85 Alexrain November 25, 2008 at 1:35 pm

    Oooohhh I wanna watch!

  86. 86 c November 25, 2008 at 1:41 pm

    *___* must. watch.

  87. 87 koreangirl November 25, 2008 at 1:50 pm

    whaaaa ~ ??? speechless … !!

  88. 88 miss.samm November 25, 2008 at 2:23 pm

    OMG
    MAN ON MAN
    THATS HOT
    i SO gotta watch this.

  89. 89 jimi November 25, 2008 at 2:53 pm

    um.. is this a korean… chinese movie.

  90. 90 aoizora November 25, 2008 at 3:07 pm

    Omg this looks so good.

  91. 91 Ann*e November 25, 2008 at 3:16 pm

    that is just so wrong.
    why do they make them act
    this out? so awkward… -__-;;

  92. 92 tasu November 25, 2008 at 3:30 pm

    Formula for making movies in Korea :

    Hot actor/actress + “gay” storyline + sex scene = box office

    Hot = dare to play sexy role

    So predictable…

  93. 93 rk November 25, 2008 at 3:42 pm

    Jo In sung looks so handsome! i generally dont like historical korean movies but this one looks interesting.

  94. 94 haha November 25, 2008 at 3:48 pm

    HAHA! It’s ko-ryuh by the way. not choseon.

  95. 95 ami November 25, 2008 at 4:07 pm

    huh…
    i dunno…. asians ted to screw up sex scenes.
    Maybe it’s “Hero” that ruined sex scenes for me.

  96. 96 GOSH! November 25, 2008 at 4:29 pm

    WOT THE HELL!!! THE SECOND PIC IS OF LIANG CHAO WEI AND ZHANG ZI YI FROM THE MOVIE HERO!!!!!! sry ppl, no man on man action after all.

  97. 97 rachael November 25, 2008 at 4:31 pm

    seriously they should be gay

  98. 98 Jung HyeHoon November 25, 2008 at 4:48 pm

    O.o ommo

  99. 99 Vita Kraft November 25, 2008 at 5:01 pm

    Huh.. It’s not a secret that Korea was influenced by China, and took a lot of elements of chinese culture. . . though I don’t say the movie has no flaw for the historical aspect.

    And what’s the common point between Broke Back & this movie, aside the gay (& probably with no happy-end) romance ? With only this trailer, well, the people who can see the “new Broke Back” are amazing !
    Can’t you just see it’s the lack of gay romance movie who makes you make this comparison ? That’s where the problem is D:.

  100. 100 Vita Kraft November 25, 2008 at 5:02 pm

    ^which makes you, not who ^^”

  101. 101 anna November 25, 2008 at 5:11 pm

    WTF? Why does every freakin’ gay film gets compared to Brokeback Mountain??

  102. 102 Atsirk November 25, 2008 at 5:33 pm

    well, Brokeback Mountain had substance…

    maybe this one would have one…

  103. 103 girlfromdownunder November 25, 2008 at 6:35 pm

    Garr! I wanna watch this movie!!!! Too bad I live all the way in Australia though. Joo Jin Mo is going to be great. I love him!!!!!

  104. 104 mina November 25, 2008 at 6:52 pm

    This is one of those times i resent that I was born in the wrong side of the world…now i have to wait for it to be released and to be subbed which means months of waiting…! =(

  105. 105 Seika November 25, 2008 at 7:45 pm

    @ people commenting that the movie is really “Chinese”.

    Well…. duh. Korean culture was quite influenced by the Chinese. Hangul the Korean blockish script we are used to was not even invented yet during the period the movie takes place. All that writing on that scroll is all Chinese characters. I don’t understand why people are so surprised. It is what Korea was like back then, so it’s still a Korean movie.

  106. 106 pulmo November 25, 2008 at 8:08 pm

    hot!!!i am sooo gonna watch this movie!!!!!
    jo in sung and joo jin mo is soooo sexy,can’t wait for the bedscene!!!!

  107. 107 I'm not sure November 25, 2008 at 8:20 pm

    Are they gay in real life??

  108. 108 icy November 25, 2008 at 8:38 pm

    if ever there would be kissing scenes bet.the two guys, i hope it would be shot in a refined manner so that it can be watched by teeners too.

  109. 109 Bradley November 25, 2008 at 9:13 pm

    i wonder if that movie is better than King and the Clown?

  110. 110 momoisluv November 25, 2008 at 9:42 pm

    jo in sung is really really pretty in here. dang.

  111. 111 dwilliams November 25, 2008 at 10:13 pm

    “Are they gay in real life??”

    Possibly LMAO

  112. 112 riki November 25, 2008 at 11:31 pm

    looks very good. cant wait to watch it

  113. 113 caddyy November 26, 2008 at 5:30 am

    holy crap. that looks like a good controversial movie. pft, i’m glad someone clarified that the second picture was song ji hyo. i almost had a freakout moment there…

  114. 114 Narcia November 26, 2008 at 6:59 am

    it looks excellent ‘^^ I can’t wait to see this movie xDDDD

  115. 115 yuri November 26, 2008 at 7:47 am

    Ok, let me rephrase:

    Why do a lot people go “oh, that’s so cute, that’s so hot” and when asked about homosexuality, they go “oh, homosexuality is so wrong, ewww”?

    It’s just really weird to me. Taking gay romance, exploit it, be all excited about it, and then not accept and see that homosexuality is two consenting adults who are in love… Nothing more, nothing less. It’s strange.

  116. 116 bytchgoddezz November 26, 2008 at 9:54 am

    no matter. It is hotness!

  117. 117 claire November 26, 2008 at 10:09 am

    awesome!!!!

  118. 118 Shaenna November 26, 2008 at 10:49 am

    Oh, I can’t wait to see this… next year.

    But, hahaha… I had to do a double take on the second picture…

  119. 119 Big A November 26, 2008 at 11:17 am

    Film looks interesting. From what Im inferring from the all too common trailer that shows TOO MUCH OF THE MOVIE (PLOT), seems like that pretty boy dude loves the king and queen?…or the king is gay and wants his friend to sleep with her?…..and is a spy instead? Good stuff man, I’ll download this when it comes out on dvd.

  120. 120 fedora November 26, 2008 at 1:57 pm

    the stiry seems interesting,JJM and JIS grew up together and developed a mutual feelings to each other but JJM was forced to marry SJH and the night of their honeymoon he cannot have sex with her bcoz he is gay so he asked his bodyguard JIs to have sex with the queen and eventually JIS feel inlove with the queen and JJm got mad and the tragic lovestory story begins…wow i’ll definitely gonna watch this movie :-)

  121. 121 michiko November 26, 2008 at 2:38 pm

    wow, that’s the plot? nice one, i wouldn’t mind having in-sung on a honeymoon!!! haha

  122. 122 myoungjae November 26, 2008 at 2:48 pm

    i cant wait to see this movie!! im EXCITEDD!
