Kim So-yeon receives
acclaim for her beauty at Venice Film Festival
Actress Kim So-yeon received much acclaim for her pretty looks at
the opening ceremony of the Venice Film Festival, which opened Aug.
31 (local time). Donned in a black dress, Kim stole the foreign
media spotlight when she walked down the red carpet along with Hong
Kong actress Charlie Yeung and Chinese actress Zhang Jingchu. The
three actresses, known as three Asian beauties, co-star in the
movie Seven Swords, which was screened at the opening ceremony of
the festival.
Tiger Pictures, which imported the movie to Korea, said foreign
journalists and filmmakers showed great interest in Kim at the
opening ceremony. It also added that Kim looked ecstatic as she
posed for the cameras with the two other top Asian actresses.
Following the screening of Seven Swords, Kim received countless
requests for interviews from foreign media organizations, and has
been busy meeting with journalists since the morning of Sept.
1.
Meanwhile, the popularity of Korean movies is likely to further
increase after director Park Chan-uk and actress Lee Young-ae visit
the festival shortly for the Sept. 3 screening of their movie
Sympathy for Lady Vengeance.
The festival, now in its 62nd year, will last through Sept.
10.
