[NEWS] Park Shin Hye's goddess-like beauty shines at 'Green Days' media premiere

Park Shin Hye attends the media premiere of Korean animation film 'Green Days' today at Yongsan CGV iMAX theater with the director and her co-voice Song Chang Ui.

Spotted wearing a printed blouse, mini skirt and black heels, the actress's beauty shines through the entire press conference.

In the video above, Shin Hye mentions that it was her 1st time voice dubbing for an animation film. It was quite challenging as she found it quite difficult to read her lines in a way that the audio syncs with the 'lip movement' of her character in the movie naturally. Despite that, she enjoyed the experience a lot and thanks the staff for the opportunity and their effort. She also mentions that the making of the film took 11 years.

Aww. Check out the beautiful photos from today:

Synopsis:

The story tells a girl, Yi-rang(voiced by PARK Shin-Hye) who does not want to lose, orchestrates a collapse in the middle of a relay race even though she’s on the verge of giving up her dream of becoming an athlete. 

At the same time, Soo-min transfers in from Seoul and Cheol-soo, who dreams of becoming a scientist, come into her life. They are all immature but they are in the midst of youthful aspiration.  With this warm-hearted animation, Han Hye Jin and An Jae Hoon encourage Yi-rang’s dreams and portray the fantasy and flutter of adolescence through encounters with good people. 

Set in the ’80s and ’90s, an old umbrella and a railroad crossing the downtown in the film is the stuff that reminds us of our lost past, evoking a reminiscence in the audience of that which is vanished. It is a way of evoking the real “dreams” that we have lost in this modern society where a rapid capitalization is progressing. (LEE Sang-yong)

Synopsis of "Green Days"

Described as a Korean cousin to Studio Ghibli in style, Green Days uniquely illustrates the universal themes of the highs and lows of adolescence. Arang, a young competitive relay runner who dreams of becoming a professional athlete, orchestrates a collapse in the middle of a relay race rather than crossing the finish line in second place. At the same time, Soo-min transfers in from Seoul and meets Cheol-soo, who dreams of becoming a scientist, quickly forming a special bond. They are all young and believe that they will become what they all dream about but with live and insecurities confronting them at every turn will they be able overcome these and turn their dreams into reality?
