Song Hye Kyo will leave early in the morning on Friday (the 25TH) for Taean, the country's disaster area to lend her hands in helping with removal operations due to the oil spill.

The oil spill last year shocked the country leaving numerous entertainers volunteering which warmed everyone's hearts but truthfully, in recent times the volunteer work has gradually lessened.

However, rumor has it that Song Hye Kyo showed much interest and concern when told more volunteers are still needed; even diligently checking the schedule herself.

In particular, she is participating in this volunteer work with staff members from her makeup brand Laneige which is causing it to draw even more attention. Read More.

Hello, how are you? This is Laneige's new model, Song Hye Kyo. Today is my first day filming a CF and it seems like I got to try out many different styles which I haven't done in a while so I had a really great time. There are still two more cuts left to shoot and when they're done, it'll be the end to my first shoot. It was such a joyful time. Laneige truly receives a lot of love in Korea. I hope that Laneige will receive the same love and support in Asia and other places as well. As the new Laneige model, I will strive to do my very best and ask of everyone to please show your support. Thank you.

Since her contract was under expiration, she's been doing recent activities alone. The news of her looking for a new 'nest' to call home has been the focus of the entertainment industry. This year alone Song Hye Kyo's various CF appearances has earned an enormous sum of money. Even more, movie and drama proposals are pouring in steadily.

Because of this, it is now in full swing to catch her.

One entertainment industry insider said, "There are many agencies who have an interest in Song Hye Kyo. Agencies know that their offer cannot be less than a billion won." Read More.

Susanna Fosse: The film is beautifully shot by Student Academy Award winner Soopum Sohn. How would you describe his shooting style?

Stewart Schill: Soopum is a really gifted DP, and I think he got a chance to do some stylistic things on IHM that were new for him. He is also very collaborative, and we had a great time looking at old musicals and creating a visual style for the movie, and the subjective reality of the musical numbers. Soopum's natural style, both in shooting and in his own work, is very lyrical and poetic, so in some ways, he was an odd choice for such a broad film. But I think his sensibility brought a lot to the movie. Also we were working with an HD process, and a largely student crew, and Soopum was brilliant in bringing a cinematic quality to the film, and in making it a learning experience for his crew.

Susanna Fosse: Soopum Sohn has just finished directing Fetish. What kind of work can we expect from him as a director?

Stewart Schill: As I stated above, I think we can expect a beautiful, lyrical work. I also think, being Korean and not a native English speaker, as well as being a highly visual person, Soopum tells stories in a much more purely visual and cinematic style. I can't wait to see the movie.
