20 July:

Actress Shin Se Kyung has completely outgrown her “glamorous innocence” and is ready to face the world with her radically new rebellious look.

Photos taken on the set of her upcoming film, ‘Blue Salt‘, were shared online recently, showing the actress in a leather jacket as she leans against a motorcycle, and again as she points a gun.

Film representatives said, “Shin Se Kyung has been practicing riding motorcycles for the past six months, and has even acquired a motorcycle driver’s license. She has also perfected her shooting and handling of guns for the role.”

‘Blue Salt’ will follow the story of two characters: Shin Se Kyung is commissioned to monitor a retired boss (played by Song Kang Ho), who’s trying to hide details of his past.

Shin Se Kyung is currently listed as one of the most wanted actresses of this generation and will surely be showing off her acting range through this new image.

Staff commented, “It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call Shin Se Kyung’s character Se Bin a former gun and shooting expert. She has been frequenting shooting ranges and taking classes in order to perfect her acting. She shocked everybody when she hit a target bulls-eye her very first time handling a real gun.”

You can catch the actress’ radical change for yourself when ‘Blue Salt’ gets released in September.

CJ E&M representatives revealed on March 4th, “Actor Song Kang Ho and actress Shin Se Kyung, who have leading roles in ‘Blue Salt’, have completed all the filming in the Philippines on February 18th.”

Song Kang Ho commented, “So many emotions are crossing my mind. They’re all fresh characters, and the combination of the characters make for an interesting plot. The director and Shin Se Kyung all tried to make this an awesome film, so I’m looking forward to seeing how it turns out. Factors like the weather made the filming process difficult, but we gathered our strength together and pulled through. For that, I’m thankful for all the staff and castmates.” 
Shin Se Kyung, who has put aside her ‘innocent’ image for the first time in exchange for a ’stronger’ role, also added, “It’s hard for me to believe that it’s over. Everyone has become like family to me, and I’ll miss the staff members a lot. This movie is so precious to me, I’m very proud of it and the thought of it still excites me. I’m very thankful to senior Song Kang Ho and director Lee Hyun Seung. The fact that I met them can be described as nothing other than one of the luckiest moments of my life.”
