Jae Hee in ‘Tekken’
Good news! We’ll be seeing the gooorgeous Jae Hee here in the West! Hollywood is apparently making a movie based on the video game “Tekken.” Jae Hee, who is known for his roles in dramas such as Delightful Girl Choon Hyang, One Mom and Three Dads and Witch Yoo Hee is set to play 19-year-old “Hwoarang,” a Taekwondo master.
SO, he’ll be playing a terribly stereotypical Asian role, but who cares? I hope it’s a decent part. I always wish that Jae Hee got better roles in his dramas because I loved him in Delightful Girl Choon Hyang. His other dramas kind of bombed, so I’ve never felt like trying them. IDK though, this guy is adorable. I KNOW, I’m petty! But it’s hard not to be when it’s Jae Hee. Funnily enough, “Hwoarang” is ten years younger than Jae Hee. (At least I thought it was funny!) I am confident that he’ll be able to handle it though; it won’t be the first time Jae Hee has played a teenager while being far outside his teen years.
Last time I checked, Jae Hee was in the army. I don’t know how he’s participating in Tekken unless the footage was shot mid-2008. Since Tekken is rumored to be released this year, I’m sure it was worked out some time ago.
Apparently the tens of thousands of Tekken’s Hwoarang fans weren’t satisfied at all (actually caused an internet shitstorm) by the news that there will not be Hwoarang in the Tekken movie, so Crystal Sky had to arrange a re-shoot, around Spring-Summer 2008. (It coincides well with the Tekken story where Hwoarang is released from his Military Service to fight…) It is rumoured the famous Jin vs Hwoarang match will in fact start the movie. Jon Foo is perfect in his role the lead character Jin… Jae Hee looks equally good, but the big question is: Does he know Tae Kwon Do?
I guess he (Jae Hee) can do Tae Kwon Do..
all I know is he can play wushu…, and he also played some fighting scenes in his movie or drama well..
so, with tae kwon do, why not? 🙂
If you watched Jae Hee’s dramas like Delightful Girl Choon-Hyang, in the first (and a couple of other episodes) you can see his ability to do Tae Kwon Do. Very impressive. I believe he’s perfect for the role!
