LET'S FIGHT FOR THE THREE BASIC LABOR RIGHTS!
FREE PRESS - WE DEMAND FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND FREEDOM OF THE PRESS
It's a mess in here!
My apologies. For surprising you.
I was shocked, honestly.
When Ju-ae told me that you would be coming over… I'm, uh,
kind of a big fan!
Well, I've heard about you.
I did quite a bit of research
into what kind of work you're doing here.
I've read your papers too. As many as possible.
And in doing so, I got the impression that
you'd be willing to assist in airing some dirty laundry.
Noona,
congrats are in order.
This place will have to do.
And for what?
Huh?
Congrats for what?
Oh, noona.
You're winning the Best Supporting Actress this year.
And so they asked that you be there.
I didn't mean you had to come all this way.
Just that we'd catch up when I was in Seoul.
Well, I came here 'cause I had somethin' to tell you. You're not busy, are you?
Not remotely.
Been taking a nice break.
Since I had to get dental work done,
I took that time to touch up the script.
I saw your Aema picture.
It was total shit.
It was.
Jung-ho ruined it as usual?
Despite his terrible edits, you still came out looking good
and did the best you could.
You were fearless in the way you approached it.
Even while surrounded by mediocrity, you didn't stoop to their level.
I've always had an appreciation for your work.
Now I respect you more.
That's why I asked to see you.
PREDATION NIGHT FINAL DRAFT
Let's do it.
AEMA
You know that place?
The soy-noodle shop by the roundabout, mm-hmm.
Well, the second floor of that building, I mean, just picture it, it's genius!
There are so many elementary and middle schools in the area.
Those kids have gone their whole lives without a single martial arts studio,
so can you imagine how starved for tae kwon do they must be?
Uh, we were in a rush, so I headed there with Dad last week,
and I made a provisional contract…
EXCLUSIVE! WE ARE MADAME AEMA, SHIN JU-AE'S FAMILY
…but since it's a busy area, I'm assuming rent won't be cheap, so…
Oh, hey, Ju-ae, uh, don't you kinda have a decent living now?
Mm. I'll give you money.
Cool! You're eating enough, right?
And, uh, always make sure you use your manners and stay humble.
Got it? That's important.
All right, I'll get Dad on the line.
Been a while since you guys talked, huh? Stay right there.
-Dad! -What?
-Ju-ae's on the phone! -She is?
-It's a long-distance call, yeah! -Okay?
"Okay?" C'mon, Dad! Jeez…
Your office is all new and shiny.
It even smells different in here.
Congratulations. Isn't it nice, rollin' in the dough?
Do me a favor.
Have a tail put on Hee-ran.
Jeez, you're tenacious.
Now you're gonna stalk the poor woman?
This exclusivity agreement of yours has been sucking that girl dry for years.
Why not just let her go?
Look, you've made all this money off of her. Isn't that enough?
No, this is about Mi-na.
Her death must've had a big impact on Hee-ran.
She had this weird, determined look I've never seen.
Implied she was gonna blow the lid off this whole thing
and take me down with her.
And if she blabs about the banquets, that'll be a problem for you as well.
That would be dumb.
'Cause out of all of us involved, she has way more on the line.
I'm sure she knows it too.
You're forgetting Jeong Hee-ran is insane.
Tail her.
So, uh, a little birdie told me
that Jeong Hee-ran's set to receive the Best Supporting Actress Award.
Yup, that's right. Speaking of which, you owe me, Mr. President.
Madame Aema will win twice.
With Jeong Hee-ran and Shin Ju-ae.
And as for Ju-ae, I'd appreciate being able to break it to her.
Y'know, about her winning.
So mum's the word.
I'm a massive Madame Aema fan!
So I pulled some strings to make all this possible.
A way to say thanks for all the boners!
Hee-ran doesn't need another award.
Let someone else win.
She's won so many times I've lost count now.
And she's not humble anymore. She's really let the fame inflate her ego.
She needs a reality check, and if she were to win another award now,
I'm worried her ego might get outta control.
I go outta my way to help you out, and this is the thanks I get?
Did you fight with her?
Even for you, c'mon… this is petty.
Well, you know…
That's only because I made her. I gave that woman her entire career.
In my opinion, it'll be healthy for her to just sit in the audience.
I'd say even quite humbling.
She doesn't need to give a speech to those who adore her.
Make sure she doesn't get up there with a microphone.
Not only would losing take her down a peg
but I'd find it incredibly entertaining.
You'll get your Ju-ae interview on Friday.
I'll make sure she's free all day.
So you can do whatever you want.
Do whatever I want?
So "whatever" means… whatever?
Well, when you put it that way…
Hit it.
Who are you two?
Whoever you are, you got some nerve breaking into a guy's home!
Get out right now!
What?! What's your problem? Are you people deaf?
Don't interrupt someone during dinner!
I'll ask just once.
Do I look like a thug?
One who takes bribes from people
and then skims funds off the top of that dirty money?
Listen, man,
this industry can be like that, that's for sure.
But I've always done my best to not cross that line
into becoming nothing more than a no-good gangster.
You jumped right over it.
Who decides where those lines should be drawn?
'Cause the world's full of powerful individuals
who shit on those with nothing.
Like the banquets those poor girls get sent to.
I know that wasn't the first one.
They've been going on for a while now, haven't they?
And you know all about it, Mr. Gi.
Yet you talk to me about lines.
Huh?
Don't lecture me when you're such a hypocrite.
'Cause then you'll really look like a lowlife thug.
I know I'm the last person with the right to be lecturing you,
so here's what my supervisor told me when I got fired.
Thanks for your hard work.
Now, don't you ever come back.
God, it's dark.
Huh? Oh, was that it?
Oh, it's on now. Hmm?
Whoa!
It's Little Miss Showgirl!
Heh? Huh? Huh?
What d'ya think?
It's a phenomenal interview setting, isn't it?
I had to really think about it.
Where's the best place to get the most authentic Shin Ju-ae story?
The venue's rented for the day.
It's all ours!
So we can drink to our hearts' content.
Don't be shy.
Sweetheart,
this calls for a celebration.
Because you're gonna be winning the Best New Actress Award.
I called in some big favors to get this!
You grateful?
Yes, I'm grateful.
Well, then, how does it feel to be back?
The memories… getting your heart all worked up again,
in your beautiful chest. Hmm?
It reminds me of my hard work back then.
I still work hard.
That hard work's what made you a star though.
Also, what landed you this interview. I don't work with just anybody.
Sweetheart, I only interview big A-listers, okay?
And before we start, I think it'd be really great
if we took a photo for the article.
I have something amazing for the shot.
It'll be great.
Now, feast your eyes… on this!
Wow! Pretty much worked my dick off to get my hands on it.
Look. Just like what you used to wear, huh?
Put this bad boy on. It's gonna be an amazing photo.
"Madame Aema's ascension from humble beginnings."
"Get the full story!"
Hell of a narrative, right?
Ah!
Ahhh!
So put it on!
Oh, that's right.
You never did have a proper changing room.
I guess you could just get changed right here.
I'd be fine with that.
Can you close your eyes?
Huh?
I want you to put your hands on your chest.
Y'know,
I've been wanting to ask you…
You, um, wanna know about me?
Can you…
…even get an erection?
Mm?
I've been thinking about it.
You've always made such a concerted effort to objectify me
and make me uncomfortable, Mr. Lee.
Men, in my experience, are often one-dimensional
in what all of their actions are driven by.
They all want sex.
Yet your motivation seems to be different.
You don't actually wanna sleep with me. You just get off on harassing me.
When that's the case, it's often because that man can't maintain an erection.
You crazy little bitch.
My God.
Your dick's trying its best every day, isn't it?
It's trying so hard, you're afraid it'll fall off.
You may be impotent, but I'm sure you still value your cock.
Hey…
…I can get hard.
I'm hard every day.
Rock hard!
So fuckin' hard, you hear me?! Shit!
Hard!
Oh yeah?
Great to hear.
You goddamn bitch!
You'll pay for that.
You better sleep with one eye open, buddy.
Fuck.
Ah.
Kitten, you're here. I'd been meaning to call you.
I just figured you were busy Super busy. Aren't you busy?
Ignoring my calls is a little immature, yes?
We can't have that.
Well, darling,
there's one value we should all hold regardless of what happens.
Being classy.
For people like us, in particular,
elegance is everything.
And since I'm feeling benevolent today,
just this once, I'll overlook your immaturity.
I've fallen for her!
I'm smitten.
Shin Ju-ae's my new inspiration.
I want her
to be my muse and wear my designs.
"Smitten," you say?
That sounds familiar, doesn't it?
When we met, I said I was smitten with you.
Before anyone else knew your name, I believed in you.
I had plenty of designers falling all over themselves to dress me,
and yet I always said, "Paul Goh is my designer."
I catapulted you to fame by wearing your miniskirt at the airport, right?
Yeah. I did that.
And you repay that how?
By falling for another? How dare you say that!
Well, things change!
Me, you, even fashion, all go through stages.
You and I
just need a bit of a break for now.
"A bit of a break," you say? No, I don't think so.
Yeong-bae, we're taking that!
-Wha-- Uh… Uh… -Mr. Cha, guard the clothes.
Hmph!
Oh! Stop pulling! You're acting like a crazy toddler!
You stop it! What has gotten into you? Really? You're acting crazy!
You're the person I last expected to abandon me.
Kitten, dear, you and I had a good run, huh?
Good memories. C'mon, don't spoil them. Hmm?
My-- Whoa! Oh!
Oh my.
Oh!
Damn it!
This award ceremony is an important one for me.
You'll come to understand.
My legacy… is gonna be more than just some miniskirt I once wore.
This show is what I'll be remembered by.
Since it's such an important event,
you… were the only designer I wanted to wear.
After all… I was so very "smitten" with your work, right?
And even now,
I'm an idiot.
I'm still madly in love.
Kitten, you and your…
It's tugging on my heartstrings.
"Exclusive."
"The shocking, guilt-ridden past of the debuting actress Ms. S,
nightclub dancer."
"Scandals regarding steamy trysts with her customers surround her,
for which she was compensated handsomely."
"In Ms. S's steamy adult film debut
was a scene involving furious lovemaking,
where her rather impressive orgasm
seemed too real to simply write off as just good acting."
Hey!
What the hell did you pull at the interview to bring this shit on?
Huh?! Know what Mr. Lee told me over the phone yesterday?
What did he tell you?
He told me when he confronted you at your old nightclub stomping ground
that you showed your true colors!
Is that what he said?
So what were my true colors?
That you came across like someone who enjoyed spreading their legs like a whore.
I see. What are your thoughts on this, then?
The nightclub angle isn't great.
Our audience is rather conservative.
More old-fashioned.
Yeah, you might play the leading role,
but they won't embrace you if you have a bad character.
The small-town girl who cared for her family.
That was a nice, wholesome backstory.
So why couldn't it have ended right there?
It's impossible to shake public opinion.
I'm willing to let this one slide if dancing was all you did there.
Ju-ae… you gotta be straight with me.
You don't have to beat around the bush.
Just tell me exactly what it is you wanna know already.
Did you pour drinks there?
Is that all?
Did you spread your legs?
Honestly.
How much more do you intend on putting me through?
Should I just sit in a corner and bear it all?
You disgust me, y'know that?
-Isn't that… Oh my… -This is so disappointing.
-No! -Is this for real?
-I thought she was so sweet. -One of my favorites.
It's okay.
They're just tabloids.
No one's gonna believe that nonsense.
I don't see why they wouldn't.
It's a sensational story, right?
They'll believe it and even add onto it.
Until a bigger story comes around, and there's another life to ruin.
That's from Mr. Gi.
A dressmaker is sponsoring my outfit.
I guess he put in a good amount of effort this time around.
Tomorrow's the award ceremony.
But I'm not feeling up to it. Maybe…
maybe I'll just stay home.
I heard you quit your job.
Mm.
Are you sad to leave?
Mm.
I found a new place, by the way.
I'm moving out.
Want me to beg you not to go?
Nah.
Mm.
Oh jeez.
Do you think they get paid overtime?
They're hardworking, I'll give 'em that.
The award show is tomorrow.
I was thinking…
you and I have been through a lot.
Jeong Hee-ran has just arrived, as we speak,
nominated for the Daejong Film Awards Best Supporting Actress Award
for her role in the film Madame Aema,
which was a megahit with over 300,000 views and counting.
Jeong Hee-ran. Elegance, poise, charisma, a real superstar.
The audience can't get enough of her as she wows this crowd.
She's looking absolutely stunning tonight.
And now it's time for us to see some fresh faces.
A few new actors will be arriving very shortly.
Look! One of them is arriving now! Let's see who it is.
Uh, the vehicle has no one inside.
Not sure what's going on.
Uh, it would seem that there appears to be a kind of mix-up…
You guys see that?
Hah!
I wonder if that outfit is a cheeky nod to that salacious article
currently circulating in the press.
After all, the up-and-coming starlet Shin Ju-ae
is making her spectacular entrance on horseback,
clad in an outfit that reads more showgirl than cowgirl.
Not entirely sure how to describe this outfit,
but needless to say, the crowd is loving it.
Shin Ju-ae is dazzling.
Whoa, how'd she come up with that idea?
Bitches win.
Esteemed guests and attendees, your attention, please…
Director Kwak! Put down the drink, c'mon!
Director, today…
Well, hello there, Director!
Hello, sir.
My, Director Kwak.
-Congrats on the film. -Thank you, sir.
Please make your way into the theater and take your seats…
-Let's go, sir. -I see how it is.
Hello.
Oh, hey.
Would I really feel A pang in my heart?
Would I really be moved to tears?
Perfect! That's it. Now let's try the other way, all right?
Just keep moving it to the left. A little more. Keep goin'.
Keep goin'.
Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado,
we welcome you to the 21st annual Daejong Film Awards.
But first, we have prepared a special show for you.
A performance put on by this year's Best New Actress Award nominees.
Let's give them a warm welcome.
Would I really feel A pang in my heart?
-Camera three, stand by. -Would I really be moved to tears?
-Number three, cut! -I don't know what love is yet
-Camera number six, stand by. -You're the only thing I believe in
Number six, cut!
Always called me such a tease
But today, you gently held my hand
Oh yeah!
What an amazing show from this year's new actresses.
Give 'em another round of applause!
I'm sure it was nerve-racking performing on such a big stage for the first time.
-But they knocked it outta the park! -Dim the lights.
Bravo, ladies. Give 'em another round of applause!
We kicked off today's event with a lovely and energetic performance
by our new actresses.
It really set the tone for a fun night.
I think when we look back, this year will be best remembered
by the influx of fresh faces and young talent
bursting onto the Korean film scene.
Yeah, I'm sure it was difficult for this year's judges
to reach a consensus on the upcoming award,
with so many worthy contenders.
To start things off today,
we'll be announcing the winner of Best New Actress.
Last year's winners will be announcing the winners for this year.
So let's get Park Ju-ran and Oh Byeong-gi out here on the stage!
Wow, I think I'm more nervous announcing the award now
than I was actually accepting it last year.
-Would you mind taking over for me? -Sure thing.
I'll take it off your hands.
The Best New Actress for the 21st annual Daejong Awards…
I can't do it either. I'm chickening out.
You do it, Ms. Ju-ran.
All right, then let me muster up my courage and try again.
The award for Best New Actress for the 21st annual Daejong Film Awards…
…the honor goes to…
I'm exhausted.
Well, I went up there and gave the crowd what they wanted.
So that's a job well done.
I'll just stay till Hee-ran wins her award.
To support her.
Now then, next category, we have the Best Supporting Actress Award.
Again, the winner is to be announced by last year's winners.
Please welcome Choi Gi-ryong and Won Seon-a.
Give 'em another round of applause.
Thank you.
It is my tremendous honor to be able to announce this year's winner.
Best Supporting Actress for the 21st annual Daejong Film Awards
goes to…
I Leave Tomorrow Night's Seol Su-hee! Congratulations!
Bravo! Bravo!
Up next is the highest honor of all.
We'll be handing out the Lifetime Achievement Award.
Let's welcome last year's winner up to the stage.
An actress who many might say
is truly unrivaled and a living legend of the silver screen.
A warm welcome for Mrs. Bang Hyeon-ja.
Yes, let's give her a warm round of applause!
Good evening.
I starred in Days of Glory, a wonderful film.
And in that movie,
I recall one line.
"Looking back on it, not a day went by that wasn't filled with glory."
As an actor, looking at my career,
it certainly wasn't easy at times.
I had many high highs and low lows.
But in the grand scheme of things, as I stand here today,
I can happily say
that my line from that movie rang true.
Because my life had many moments of glory.
And one of my most memorable moments
was with this director.
Filming with him was one of the greatest honors of my career.
The 21st annual Daejong Film Awards Lifetime Achievement winner is…
Director Kwon Do-il.
What the hell is he…
Huh? What is it?
-What the hell? -Congratulations, Director Do-il.
Why are they going up together?
-They've worked together before? -No.
I was terrified to come up here all alone.
I'm usually behind cameras, not on-stage.
So instead, this lovely lady… offered to escort me up here tonight.
And since she's here,
I figured, why not have Ms. Jeong Hee-ran deliver a speech in my stead?
To make up for not winning earlier.
I'm sure you prepared an acceptance speech.
So why not say what's on your mind since you have the opportunity?
Did you hear that?
Excuse me.'Scuse me.
I know I won't actually win an award.
So instead, I've come to ask you for a favor.
When you go up there,
let me come up with you and say a few words.
Got something you wanna get off your chest?
For years now,
a vague fear haunted me.
It whispered,
"Be careful or you'll lose everything."
I was filled with anxiety.
-I never thought I'd be brave enough… -Shit.
…to overcome this fear.
-Get her off the stage. -Yes, sir.
A few events gave me the push I needed.
So now
I am finally ready to say what needs to be said.
It's time that someone finally blew the whistle.
Let's bring the truth to light.
-What's she talking about? -You don't think…
-Hey… -Is what she's saying true?
The president of Shinsung and Madame Aema's producer, Ku Jung-ho,
has been hiding a terrible secret from you.
This man
has been exploiting me and my fellow actresses…
-That fuckin' crazy little whore. -…offering us up for sex.
He has a secret ledger and records of all these exchanges.
This ledger is then used…
-Goddammit! -…as his leverage to blackmail us.
Ensuring our silence.
But I am no longer afraid.
So I'm here to tell you all the truth.
To speak for those who cannot.
As we speak,
there are incriminating flyers being dispersed in the streets.
Those flyers contain every last sordid detail.
Kill everything. The mic, lights, everything.
Who the hell are you? This area's restricted.
Just kill it! Just fuckin' kill everything!
I implore you all to believe me.
No fucking way. Cut to color screen! Hey, c'mon now!
So that they can no longer blackmail us…
-Only air the color screen. No, the mics! -…or prey upon more innocent victims.
God fucking damn it! Cut it!
-Everyone, please remain calm. -Damn it, Jeong Hee-ran!
Due to unforeseen circumstances,
tonight's event has been placed on immediate hiatus.
As a precaution, we will be conducting an evacuation of the venue…
Get off me, bastard!
Once again, ladies and gentlemen,
we ask you to remain calm and follow directions…
…and exit the building in an orderly manner. We ask that you…
Ah shit!
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Mr. President. Sorry!
-Yaaargh! -You bastard!
Hey. Who the hell are you?
Jeong Hee-ran's agent, you stupid-- Argh!
Yaaargh!
-Come 'ere! -Shit, shit, stop!
Get off me!
Hah! Hah!
POWERFUL MEN'S SECRET BANQUET ACTRESSES AND SINGERS SACRIFICED
Sir, these flyers are being widely distributed right now.
Shit. Those fuckers.
Ah shit, where the hell are they?
Ah! Why are you taking your sweet time?
Go catch Hee-ran!
Follow me!
Whoa! Wha-- what the fuck are you doin'?
What the fuck is going on? Get off me!
-There she is! -Don't let her get away!
Oh!
Oh no! It appears we should go that way.
Don't push us! You're blocking the way!
-Get outta the way! -You, in the tacky suits!
Step aside. You're in our way. Move along.
-With the jacket? -Perfection.
Ms. Jeong Hee-ran!
Hey! Get back here!
-Damn it, I said come back! -Bastards! Get outta the way!
Noona, hop in!
Jeong Hee-ran, you need to come with us.
Shit! Don't you touch my noona!
I'll handle these guys!
-Come 'ere! -Noona!
Noona.
Noona!
Don't worry! I'll take care of everything! I've got this under control!
G… get off me!
All right, Thunder. Let's ride. Hyah!
Oh!
-Hyah! -They're getting away!
-C'mon! -Get in!
Hee-ran, hold onto me. Hyah!
-There! -Hey, come on! Stop that horse!
Hyah!
I shouldn't have involved you.
I involved myself. I couldn't just leave you there.
Although I didn't know you were gonna go all out like that.
I went all out because I had nothing to lose, but you do!
We left Mr. Yang and Yeong-bae behind.
We've failed.
Where's Mr. Yang?
They dragged him out of there.
It's hard to tell where he might be, but
most likely…
…to be tortured.
Give me the envelope.
It looks like I'll need it.
It's my turn.
Motherfucker!
I'll ask you one last time.
Who are you?
And who do you work for, asshole?!
Huh.
Shhhh.
I've given it some thought,
and you know, ultimately, I don't think it really matters
whether you were gonna blackmail them or not
or if they can prove the existence of the ledger.
I don't care.
I'm pretty sure I said this before,
but… your heyday was in the '70s.
Your time is over, President Ku.
It's long gone now.
You had a good run and enjoyed your time in the sun.
No more!
That sun has set for you.
Hate to break it to ya,
but a new era has dawned.
You have nothing now.
No opportunities, no future, nothing at all.
You got that?
Your little empire is all gone.
You're a dead man, Jung-ho.
Ms. Jeong Hee-ran.
-What in the world have you done? -I'm sure you already know.
My voice was on every television and radio.
And more than 5,000 flyers have been dispersed through the city.
Now the whole country will be watching what happens to me.
Which means all this will be over once we put your head out on a spike.
And why did you come here so late in the night?
To ask a favor of you.
Please set those who got swept up in this free.
And you can put my head on a spike
after they're released.
You're awfully courageous for someone without any power.
A page out of Jung-ho's ledger.
With your name there in black and white.
And it goes without saying, that's not the only information I have.
And in the follow-up articles,
everything else will be revealed.
Hey, don't push it.
Don't push me past the point of no return.
Oh, I plan on pushing you way over your limit.
So feel free to cut my head off.
Unless, of course,
you can decide to cut your losses here and now
and bury the hatchet.
The choice is yours.
I can't tell you which decision to make.
Choose the former
and it wouldn't end with just my head.
So choose wisely
or begin spiking the heads of all the actors.
Before you know it,
'cause it will be soon,
your head will share our fate.
Oh, you're a fuckin' bitch.
But if you choose correctly,
I might leave you out of it and permit you to go on with your life.
And if you promise that other actresses are safe
and no harm will come to them,
that follow-up article might just disappear, at least for now.
Your decision.
One question is plaguing police and the nation.
Where is Jeong Hee-ran?
The actress has disappeared after dropping a bombshell
at the 21st annual Daejong Film Awards last night.
Tips from concerned citizens keep pouring in.
But the police have no credible leads,
nor do they know the reason behind her disappearance.
To determine a potential motive,
police are currently widening the scope of their investigation,
based on Ms. Jeong's speech, as well as those mysterious flyers.
Shinsung Pictures president Mr. Ku Jung-ho's office
has also been raided.
His name was mentioned in Ms. Jeong's speech.
Ms. Jeong is a high-profile actress who earned the nation's love
over the past decade,
following her debut with the 1972 film Desire.
Shinsung Pictures is the production company
behind this year's hottest release, Madame Aema.
Shinsung has been making films since the 1970s.
An industry powerhouse that won countless times for Best Picture
at the prestigious Daejong Film Awards.
Hey. Let's get some hangover soup.
The hell are you doin'?
Sorry about this, sir.
Let's get him outta here.
Fuckin' traitors. You get the hell off of me!
If you're staying in Korea as Madame Aema,
you're gonna have to put up with a lotta shit.
But knowing you…
you just might pull it off.
Give 'em hell.
You okay?
Mmm.
I'm all right.
Are you leaving?
Mm-hmm.
Now that I know you're doing okay,
I can leave.
Everyone said that the '80s would be a new era.
That it's different from the '70s.
But the world is still fucked up!
No one out there gives a shit about anybody else!
If everyone's an asshole,
then I'll be an asshole!
I'll be the baddest bitch they've ever seen.
Thank you so much.
I'm so glad you were here.
Born in the Year of the Rabbit.
Well, I was born in the Year of the Tiger.
Guess I'm older than you.
Guess you are,
sir.
Hang in there, young'un.
Yes.
Sir.
It was very dark.
It all seemed out of reach.
But we're finally here.
I guess the only way to go is forward.

MADAME AEMA'S SHIN JU-AE TO APPEAR ON JAPANESE TALK SHOW
SIGNALING HER JAPANESE DEBUT
ACTRESS SHIN JU-AE RISES TO FAME IN JAPAN
Hello, everyone.
Today's guest needs no introduction. She is Korea's definitive sex symbol.
The heroine of the film Madame Aema, Ms. Shin Ju-ae, is with us!
-Hooray! -Please Introduce yourself.
It's nice to meet you. I'm Shin Ju-ae.
I'm happy to be here.
Nice to meet you. I'm Shin Ju-ae.
My, Ms. Shin Ju-ae! Your voice alone just oozes eroticism!
Um, he said your voice alone, just in and of itself, is erotic.
Even that reserved reaction radiates eroticism.
I love it, this reserved eroticism!
Let me start with this question.
Koreans tend to be more conservative when it comes to sex,
so how is the life of a sex symbol in Korea?
How is living as a sex symbol in a more conservative country?
It's like doing battle in an arena.
You need nerves of steel
and an unwavering resolve.
Some days, the battle may feel impossible to win.
You may even lose hope.
But once you find meaning in the struggle itself
and getting back up again,
and realize everything you've done and are doing matters,
you have nothing to fear.
So my heart's desire is…
if my words speak to you…
know you're not alone.
'Cause we're in this battle together.

Ju-ae.

They're, uh, something.
Oh, and after, rinse your eyes out.

I would like a glass of wine.
Yes, miss.
Excuse me, I'd like some tomato juice. Do you have that?
-Yes, sir. -Thank you.
