Actresses ( Korean: 여배우들; RR: Yeobaeudeul) is a 2009 South Korean mockumentary-style drama film directed by E J-yong. [3] [4] [5] [6]
Six actresses— Youn Yuh-jung, [7] [8] [9] Lee Mi-sook, Go Hyun-jung, Choi Ji-woo, Kim Min-hee and Kim Ok-bin, each portraying themselves—come together for a Vogue Korea magazine photo shoot at a studio in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul on Christmas Eve, resulting in a clash of egos between individuals not used to sharing the limelight.
Director E J-yong was first inspired to make the film after going out for a drink with actresses Youn Yuh-jung and Go Hyun-jung—both his close friends—and later recalled, "I wanted to create something unconventional. I wanted to show the public how charming actresses are in real life." [10] [11] Yoon and Go were cast in the film alongside Lee Mi-sook, Choi Ji-woo, Kim Min-hee and Kim Ok-bin, each of them agreeing to take part without a guarantee. [12] [13]
Actresses was made without a script, instead being filmed on a scene-by-scene basis with the actresses improvising their performances according to the given situation. [14] E noted: "I provided the basis for conflict and the actresses took it from there. The six women represent Korean actresses as a whole, and instead of creating something fictional I thought it would be interesting to feature each actress' charms and show something real." [15] The film includes a real-life confrontation between Go and Choi, with each admitting that their on-set relationship was strained, and Go saying that she felt envious of Choi's looks. [10] [13] [16] [17] [18]
Actresses was released in South Korea on December 10, 2009. [13] The film pulled in 508,243 admissions. [19]
