Ji Jin-Hee Tests His Pulling Power in Southeast Asia
December 7, 2005
Korean actor Ji Jin-hee is using his growing star power in Southeast Asia to drum up audiences for a new pan-Asian film he stars in. “Perhaps Love” was directed by Peter Chan, who also produced and irected “Comrades: Almost a Love Story” in 1996. Ji started a trip to China last Wednesday and is scheduled to stop over in Hong Kong this Tuesday. From there he is off to tour Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan until the end of the year. Ji has hit the road both to promote the movie he stars in and to look after his growing fan base in the region.
It was the historical soap “Daejanggeum (Jewel in the Palace)” that first catapulted him to popularity in Southeast Asia. Given that Ji’s co-stars in “Perhaps Love” include Kaneshiro Takeshi, Jacky Cheung and Xun Zhou, it is a measure of his clout in the region that he is heading promotional efforts for the film there.

Hi, I actually decided not to watch Jewel in the Palace because of its late time slot but when my Aunt told me how beautiful the story was, I tried to watch it and she is right. I am now a fan of Ms. Lee Young-Ae and Mr. Ji Jin-hee. I hope that the some of the cast try to visit the philippines. I can really say that “Dae Janggeum aka Jewel in the Palace” is the best story I have ever seen because I have never been touch by a soap opera before. I also love the scenes of Jang Geum and Capt. Min JUng-ho. I also prefer him with beard than his original look. I also want you guys to know that many people are watching this korean drama even my teacher, my classmates, the priest in our church and my Aunts because for them it is corny but not the Jewel in the Palace. Wish the cast could visit the philippines because you have many fans looking forward to it. Keep up the good work and godbless!- January 16, 2006 2:44PM

It took me a few months to consider to watch Jewel In Palace series,but after I watched it, especially the last 5 episodes, i replayed 5 times. So in love with Sir Min (Jin Hee Ji). He is so kind hearted, charming and also the way he looks to JG. I tried to find out more about him, finally, I found another fans of Jen Hee Ji. Wish both of u come to Jakarta. Good luck and wish both of u the best.

Oh wow! I have never seen in my whole life a beautiful soap opera without the kissing and all those lusty scenes. I am so thankful that you guys came up with very beautiful story like Jewel in the Palace. What I really liked about it is, it is historical, inspiring, the actors are all very good and the director, congratulations you are indeed a very good asian director. I hope other telenovelas follow suit, that they could come up with beautifuful and inspiring story without the usual sampalan, cursing and pulling of hair and shouting and lustfully kissing and mashing and all those yucky things. Congrats I do wish just like the rest of your fans PLEASE COME TO THE PHILIPPINES!

Jewel in the palace is the best movie.
It makes me know about culture of Korea.
I love Janggeum because she is diligent, enthusiastic, patient, honest to her duty, have ideal,etiquette etc.
I think a reason makes Junggeum have success is she has good teacher such as Han-Sanggung, Jungdoc and her mother.
Thank you the director of this drama, performers and all of team. Thanks for make the good drama for me and other person.
I am hoping, you will present the good drama for earth inhabitants forever.
I will power for you all.
