KP’s note: Not sure if Kang Hye Jung is actually a smoker or if it’s part of the photo shoot concept… it’s pretty unusual for females to be open about smoking in Korea, although it’s become more acceptable over the years.

1,000,000,000 – An Introduction

KP’s note: Naver Movie lists the movie title as 1,000,000,000 십억: A Million, which is odd because 십억 is one billion, not one million. My only explanation would be that one billion won is roughly (very roughly) a million dollars USD, so maybe they decided to call it that.

1,000,000,000 - on location

The cast and crew of upcoming  movie A Billion completed filming on May 6. Beginning on February 22, they shot for two and a half months in Seoul and on location in Australia.

A Billion is the story of eight reality show contestants who experience close encounters with death while competing for 1,000,000,000 won in a game of survival. The film has a well-known cast – Park Hae Il (32), Park Hee Soon (39), Shin Mina (25), Lee Min Ki (24), Jung Yu Mi (26), Lee Chun Hee (30), and Go Eun Ah (20).
