Taejin Bae
For her, who prided herself on being the best when it comes to art, the art world in Insa-dong was a huge wall. To her, who was frustrated because she had no money and no power, money and power were art itself. Using unknown painters as reproduction engineers, she raised capital by trading counterfeit art, and accumulated wealth by smuggling and smuggling national treasure-class cultural assets and North Korean paintings through Japan and China. And for 7 years, she has established herself in Insa-dong without missing the lobby of high-ranking officials in the political and business circles.

2009, the greatest clash ever!
Big bang with 10 million spectators
Point of view! There was a big plate full of fun to watch. The main characters of the competition are the Vampire riot <Bat>, the mutant action <X-Men Origins: Wolverine>, and the world-famous picture-copying scam <Insadong Scandal>! In April 2009, who will be the final winner of the contest for 10 million viewers? The most exciting show in history with repeated twists and turns has begun. <Insadong Scandal> succeeded in attracting attention as a foreboding of a masterpiece was conveyed with the material of restoration and reproduction of art, which was first planned, and the passionate performances of luxurious actors such as Kim Rae-won, Uhm Jung-hwa, and Im Ha-ryong. However, as the hardcore vampire <Bat>, directed by Park Chan-wook and starring Song Kang-ho, was scheduled to be released on April 30, the fight turned into a melee. There was a sense of weight given the name value. In addition, as the actor of the mutant action <X-Men Origins: Wolverine> came to Korea, the situation is getting bigger. The situation of the times when the darkness of the global Great Depression is weighing down will also be a major factor in the victory. <Insadong Scandal> has a different color from its competitors. 'The picture war scam of cloning engineers copying the world' is a game of colorful and varied fun. The fun of various characters and characters is also evaluated as the core of the fun that competitors cannot provide.

In 2009, a new maestro will compete.
New director Park Hee-gon's premonition of a masterpiece
The consensus that April 30th will be the biggest release in the box office market for the opening week. The spring of 2009 is full of fun to choose from, but there is another point to watch, which is not to be missed: the battle between director Park Chan-wook, master of <Bat>, and new director, Park Hee-gon of <Insadong Scandal>. different names? However, if you look at the faces of the leaders who have led Korean cinema in the 21st century, the fight becomes unpredictable. Dong-Hoon Choi in <Reconstruction of Crime>, Hong-Jin Na in <The Chaser>, Hoon Jang in <A Movie is a Movie> and Hyung-Cheol Kang in <Speeding Scandal>, all of the characters who resuscitated Korean films in recession were new directors. Director Park Chan-wook needs no further explanation. However, the story of rookie director Park Hee-gon begins now. Variety of episodes that transcend genres and new materials of picture restoration and reproduction. And the composition of dozens of characters with different characters. Only 11 scenarios bound into books. While persistently making use of each episode and character, the 99th scenario went through the process of being modified and supplemented by Park Hee-gon. To shoot one scene, he dragged dozens of staff to a winter mountain and airlifted 20 tons of snow. It took 8 months to design the gallery inscription. Only 20,000 props were mobilized. Kim Rae-won confesses, "I respect director Park Hee-gon for writing such a reversal story." Uhm Jung-hwa, who met the director to refuse the role, changed her mind after two or three hours of conversation. However, these behind-the-scenes stories are only the tip of the iceberg. As beneficiaries of the new media environment, do the new directors born in the 70s and 80s, who have grown up with nourishment, have the image DNA that previous generations did not have? If watching a fight is the best thing to watch out for, the fight between a master and a rookie on April 30 seems to be a pretty interesting spectacle.

Kim Rae-won! his first challenge.
Take off the pure image, radiating sexy and intelligent adult charm!
Kim Rae-won, who has played a character with a fresh and simple image, in the role of 'Oh Tae-sik' in the movie <Sunflower>, which talked about beautiful hope amid despair, and 'Sung-chan' in the popular drama <Sikgaek>! He returned as a sophisticated adult as 'Lee Kang-jun', a genius restorer of <Insadong Scandal>. He showed enthusiasm and affection for the character by immersing himself in painting and restoration practice before filming in order to perfectly fulfill his job as an art restoration expert, the first attempt in Korea. Kim Rae-won, who is remembered as the actor with the purest smile among domestic male actors, learned professional restoration techniques to improve the perfection of his work, as well as being 100% crazy about the character of the genius restorer 'Lee Kang-jun'. Until he was born as 'Lee Kang-jun', who was urban, sophisticated, and intelligent, he created a new character in every detail that changed his hand gestures, tone of voice, expression, as well as his gait. As much as Kim Rae-won himself was confident that “I will greet you in a very different way from before, so you can look forward to it”, the audience will meet the new charm of Kim Rae-won, who took off the image of a pure youth and returned as a sophisticated adult through <Insadong Scandal>. .

The color and the case are different!
Uhm Jung-hwa's first villain transformation – 200 million costumes
Who the hell is inside her? Uhm Jung-Hwa returned as Tae-Jin Bae, a great hand in the art world who obtained Korea's most expensive painting 'Byeokando'. It's not femme fatale! A dignified and charismatic villain, herself. The costumes and accessories that Uhm Jung-hwa showed in the movie for this character are over 200 million won, including rental and production costs. Director Park Hee-gon, stylist, and actors directly participated in this movie, where costumes were important enough to determine the character's costume concept. In addition, to express her power and greed for money as the chairman of the gallery inscription, expensive fur and accessories were also essential accessories. He helped create the big-handed Bae Tae-jin. The relentless effort to transform into a character that possesses the femininity of the gallery hostess and the neutrality felt from the name can be confirmed with just one eye-catching photograph.

The second protagonist, art space
From a shabby forgery factory to a modern restoration room, perfect!
Restoring and copying art, buying and selling… <Insadong Scandal> will be the first film about art and the fraud surrounding the art trade. Therefore, the space where art and events unfold is the main character more important than any other character. Not only the works drawn by the art team, but also 'Byeokando', 'Ganghwa Screen', 'Woman by the Window', and 'Self-Portrait of Song', which are the center of morale in the movie, were directly requested from artists working in the real world. Director Park Hee-gon and the art team actually created the process through detailed discussions about the technique and style of painting, so the process was not easy either. In addition, a professional space for the sale, reproduction, and restoration surrounding art is also an essential point. It is said that there are only a few detailed materials about the space that director Park Hee-gon has been preparing for three years. In particular, the staff travels around the country, focusing on how to visually differentiate the conflicting spaces such as the restoration room and counterfeit factory/gallery inscription, Insa-dong antique store/Korea Auction, private auction house, and Japan's Kuroda Collection. was actively used. The cost of this set and space work alone was about 500 million won. In particular, in contrast to the space of the minimalist, stylish and cold restoration room, Hojinsa, a forgery factory, completes the interior by filling it so densely that it can create not only the old exterior but also anything, emphasizing the visual difference and adding visual fun. Through the place, the character's personality is emphasized, and the fun of the scam is planned to be enriched.

Do not neglect a line or a color!

Byeong-Gap Cha, who is in charge of Korean painting in the Art Conservation and Restoration Team of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Gwacheon, which boasts the highest authority in Korea, has contributed to creating realistic and realistic restoration scenes by consulting on the most important part of the film, the restoration of paintings. He is the hidden person who gave birth to the genius restorer Lee Kang-jun. Kim Rae-won judged that it was essential not only to have professional knowledge in art, but also to have painting skills above a standard level, so he went to Mr. The main character who completed the legendary painting 'Byeokando', which appeared for the first time in 400 years, is the traditional oriental painting artist Lee Hyeong-ju. He had always been interested in movies, but he had already demonstrated his skills in the movie <Chwihwaseon>, but in this <Insadong Scandal>, he showed his skills once again by drawing the 'byeokando', which is the core of the story. 'Mongyudowondo' by An Gyeon and 'Byeokando', which was painted with reference to the photos of Seunghwaru in Changdeokgung, was completed in two months at the fingertips of artist Hyeongju Lee. In addition, he not only improved the quality of the work by showing zeal to add perfection to completion, such as going through more than 10 corrections while drawing the wall painting, but also left an impressive appearance by appearing in the role of An Gyeon in <Insadong Scandal>. .
