Movie “Ssanghwa Store” pre-filming ceremony ritual  was held on 31/03/08 noon at the movie production company in Seoul. The whole production team of about 250 participated in the ceremony!  The cast of 38 actors/actresses also participated in the ceremony.

Although the current movie industry in Korea is sluggish, this movie which is highly anticipated, is about to start shooting.

The main focal points at the ceremony are obviously Joo Jin Mo who is playing the role of Gorgyeou King and Jo In Sung who plays the king’s favorite imperial guard chief, and how they are going to act out the love scenes between two men.

JJM expressed that the feeling is like participating in the Olympics Games – anxious and stressful.  Jo In Sung, on the other hand, is full of confidence and is looking forward to the challenging role.

The other 30 male actors are carefully selected by the production team and each of them is above 180cm tall and is good looking.  They are about to start a short intense behind closed door training.

Ssanghwa Store will officially commence shooting on April 10.
