KARA‘s Nicole will make a cameo in Jang Dong Gun & Odagiri Joe‘s film “My Way“.
“My Way” revolves around the story of a Korean man and Japanese man and their 12,000 km (7,500 mile) journey from Japan all the way to the shores of Normandy during World War 2.
Director Kang Je Gyu, who has close relations with Nicole, asked her to make a cameo in the film. Nicole’s role is that of a athletics federation press information clerk. Nicole makes her appearance in the scene in which Chosun’s marathon hero Son Ki Jung enters on Jun Shik‘s (Jang Dong Gun) rickshaw. Apart from Nicole’s cute appearance that she has shown through the stage, Nicole shows a completely different side to her as she looks more mature dressed in a business suit.
Nicole said, “I was so nervous that I wondered whether or not I could do it. But the atmosphere of the film site was very happy so I was comfortable. In particular, Kim In Kwon sunbaenim taught me what to do in detail up to every hand gesture. I was so thankful.”
Meanwhile, KARA has been gaining momentous popularity in Japan with their album ‘Super Girl‘ breaking records. “My Way” will make its way to theaters across Korea on December 22nd and will open in Japan in January of 2012. As a key member in the Hallyu phenomenon, Nicole’s cameo will add on to what the movie has to offer.

CJ Entertainment Japan and Toei have released the first trailer for upcoming $28 million World War II epic, “My Way“, starring Japanese actor Odagiri Joe and South Korean actor Jang Dong Gun.
The film was directed by South Korean director Kang Je Gyu (“Shiri”, “Taegukgi – Brotherhood”), who was inspired by an old photograph of an Asian person wearing a German uniform during the war and backtracked the person’s 12,000 km long trek to Europe.
However, more than a story of war, “My Way” lays its focus on the deep bond between two men. During their childhood, they started as rivals with the dream of winning the marathon at the Olympics. With the outbreak of World War II, they were both forced to enter the military.
Hasegawa Tatsuo (Odagiri Joe) comes from a militaristic family and was proud to serve his country, but Kim Jun Shik (Jang Dong Gun), who is a servant of the Hasegawa family, actually didn’t want to go to war. During their harsh and long journey from Asia, through Siberia, to Normandy, they end up not only wearing the Japanese uniform, but also the uniforms of the Soviet Union and Germany.
The climax of the film happens towards the end at the Battle of Normandy. It took the production team more than three months to prepare the large-scale set. Moreover, 2,300 extras and state-of-the-art filming equipment were used to capture the intensity of the battlefield.
“My Way” is going to open in Japan on January 14th.
