Photo from La Belle (2000)

Her name is either totally unknown to you, or it rings a loud bell as in La Belle, the Korean movie starring Oh Ji Ho, and Lee Ji Hyeon, almost to the exclusion of any other actors, though there were others.

If that’s the bell ringing, it’s possible you are now thinking of her body, and of sex, and maybe very little else.

This site does not exist for the purpose of exploitation, but rather, it pays homage to her as an actress of great talent, and a human being who goes on with her life in spite of criticism launched against her in Korea because of nudity in the film, and nude modeling afterward.

Nude modeling may have been the only course open to her at the time, and like the rest of us, she has to eat and pay rent.

She’s a survivor, and I laud her for it.

This then, is a site that will be full of photos, including some from La Belle, but not the ones you’ve been staring at for years.

The above shot is key because it is the first time she enters the apartment of the writer. She's assessing it, deciding if it's suitable. Is she calculating or not? Is she cold hearted, or in need of help?

As the character she is mysterious, annoying, ill mannered and boorish.

As the actress, being all these things, she is brilliant and inspired, masterful and tragic.
