Looks like a certain A-list star has been spending some quality online procrastinatin’ time on that king of time-wasting enablers, Facebook: Sohn Ye-jin (Personal Taste, Into the White Night) has uploaded a whole bunch of sel-cas (short for self-camera, per Korea’s typical penchant for mangling English in an attempt to come up with a witty portmanteau — in this case it means self-shot photograph) to her account, as you can see below.


Sohn wrote, “For the first time in a long while, I present to you the sel-cas that have been stored in my cell phone. Are you all doing well? Now there are only three more shoots left for the movie Chilling Romance. Please send me your encouragement that we finish it safely.”
She added, “I won’t be taking much time to rest before I shoot my next film, but for some reason, rather than feeling tired, I’m full of new excitement. I’ll work hard to see you a lot this year.”
It’s still sorta hard to believe that drama producers expected us to believe that the clean ‘n classy Sohn Ye-jin could pass for a fashion-blind slob in Personal Taste — one desperately in need of some sparkle and polish by her supposedly-gay-but-really-just-metrosexual roommate — but then again, it’s also kinda hard to believe that it was convincing. (Remember this? And this? And this?) Sigh. I miss the Sohn Ye-jin/Lee Min-ho chemistry.

Sohn Ye-jin and Lee Min-ki will be pairing up in the movie Chilling Romance 오싹한 연애, a working title, in which she plays a woman who can see ghosts. She has cut herself off entirely from the rest of the world, but a romance develops with Lee’s character, who wants to protect her.
A rep from Sohn’s management explained that’s she’d fallen in love with the script early on and made the statement that she is “looking favorably” at the project. It’s a cautious way of saying that her side hasn’t finalized things yet, but things look good.
I’m still trying to picture these two in a romance together — it’s a little hazy in my mind, but I do love both actors. I can see Sohn Ye-jin nailing the vulnerability and complexity of a woman with unwanted supernatural powers. And Lee Min-ki as a devoted protector? Sign me up.
Sohn’s last project was the MBC romantic comedy Personal Taste with Lee Min-ho, where she played a cute, bumbling woman who falls in love with his perfectionist character, whom she initially mistakes for being gay. Meanwhile, Lee Min-ki had a very busy last year, with indie movie Oishii Man, thriller A Million, and the box-office blockbuster Haeundae. It looks like the next year will be equally busy for him: He’s busily filming Quick, an action comedy in which he plays a deliveryman who accidentally comes into possession of a bomb. He’ll begin shooting Road to Utah in California later this month, in which he plays a drifter who meets a woman in LA and embarks on a road trip with her.
