[BYJ] Something to get excited about?

There is a speculation going around baesites and...

I'm getting excited after reading one article in baesite about a movie with director Kang Woo Seok [?] and i'm crossing my fingers and toes that the speculation is true. In the news it says that a powerful hallyu star is being considered to act in this movie. The movie is taken from a webtoon series 'IKKI' or 'The Moss'.

'The Moss' serialized on Daum, is a well-woven suspense story taking place in an isolated, spooky village, which has been praised by readers.

Amongst the top hallyu stars, it's only Yong Joon who is currently not in any projects. Lee Byung Hun is busy filming 'IRIS'. Lee Dong Gun has an upcoming movie wherein he'll play as the president. Kwon Sang Woo is busy with his upcoming drama 'Cinderella Man'. So Ji Sub is still busy with 'Cain and Abel'. Song Seung Hun just finished 50 episodes of 'East of Eden' and his last movie with KSW didn't do well in the box office.

Let's wait for the news in the coming days.

extract from Korean Times Feb 25, 2009 ish

Meanwhile, 'The Moss'' is scheduled to be cinematized by film director Kang Woo-suk who is often called the most powerful man in Korean cinema.

He was picked in the list of '50 Most Powerful Men in Korean Cinema' for seven consecutive years from 1998 to 2004 by Cine 21, a weekly magazine.

'I was interested in a thriller story,' he said in an interview. 'I had no hesitation about choosing this comic as my next works because even I was fascinated by its characters.'

'The Moss'' fans, of course, have already begun arguments on the Internet about whether Kang is a suitable figure to direct their favorite Webtoon.
