[08.06.14][News] Mun Jung Hyuk Interacts with Beauties and Elephants


Were there elephants in the marketplace during the Joseon Dynasty? Yes, in KBS 2TV‘Strongest Chil Woo’.

The elephant made its way to Gyeong Buk Munkyeong on 13 June from Seoul Grand Park. The fees a day for the filming is 1000 won, a high price to pay for the special appearance.

This is to film episode 6, where the elephant is presented to the Qing dynasty to improve diplomatic ties. As the main lead in this scene, this big actress was able to carry out the scenes as required under supervision, displaying its ‘acting skills’ and this has impressed all the fans present.

In order to get better shots, the director sat on the elephant and the elephant stretched its legs, giving the audience a feeling it was hanging on due to the weight on its back. The filming with the elephant was enjoyable as it was tame and gentle by nature, leaving a memorable experience for the actors.

The elephant’s appearance caused uproar at the film set for the whole day. Whenever Mun Jung Hyuk was free, he would attempt to touch the elephant or to feed her with carrots. It was either the elephant knew he was the lead actor, or she really liked him, she actually likes to follow him around, and this made actual filming easy, displaying the chemistry between the two.

A related party from the production company olive9 expresses, ‘On such a warm day filming here, nobody could rest with the elephant here. But the elephant was able to adapt and was not nervous. To film more smoothly with the elephant, the actors took the initiative to interact with the elephant at the park earlier on. This made the filming safer and easier.’

‘To prevent any accidents, everyone was on their toes. However the elephant was tame and gentle, and so the filming could go on smoothly.’

Mun Jung Hyuk, Gu Hye Sun stars in ‘Strongest Chil Woo’ that premieres on 17June.
