00:00From Astig na Pulis, to the hit K-drama series Strong Girl Bong Su,
00:31to the martyr princess Wang Jung of Moon Lovers Scarlet Heart.
00:36These are just a few of the characters played by South Korean actor Kim Ji-Soo,
00:40who is loved by Filipinos.
00:42His Philippine television debut was added to those roles in the action prime series Black Rider.
00:50I talked to Ji-Soo one-on-one in his GMA Integrated News Interviews,
00:57his very first interview on Philippine TV.
01:02Hello everyone, I am Kim Ji-Soo.
01:05After a few years in the showbiz,
01:08Ji-Soo will be starring as the half-Korean, half-Filipino hired assassin, Adrian Park.
01:14This is very interesting. How did you prepare for the role?
01:18Actually, I worked out a lot for this character.
01:23Because it's an action drama,
01:28and now for me it's a really refreshing role.
01:32I also had a lot of conversations with the director and writer to build up my character.
01:38Many are surprised that he can speak English,
01:42and many are amazed that he knows a lot of Tagalog words.
01:47You have been learning English, and have you tried learning Filipino?
01:53Now I'm learning English because I love to watch documentaries about animals,
02:00or nature or something.
02:02And I also learned a few basic Tagalog words.
02:06How are you?
02:08Thank you, it's delicious, take care.
02:12Ji-Soo, your co-star and Black Rider himself, Ruru Madrid,
02:17has a video message for you, and I would like you to watch it.
02:21Actually, I'm asking Prod if he can give us a fight scene,
02:29or an external, where we fight.
02:31He's so sweet. Thank you, Ruru.
02:35I also watched his acting in Black Rider,
02:40and I think he's a really cool actor.
02:42But sadly, we didn't meet and get to work in Black Rider.
02:47But one day, I hope to be able to meet him and work with him.
02:51Ji-Soo and I have become closer and more personal.
02:55Describe your ideal girl.
02:58Oh, my ideal girl.
03:01Then I would say,
03:05you know, my ideal type is someone who has bright and positive personality.
03:14Are there any things that you would consider a red flag in a relationship?
03:18I think, you know, someone who always thinks negatively is kind of a red flag to me.
03:25Are you open to dating anyone that is not born and raised in Korea?
03:32Actually, yes. To be honest, I did a long time ago.
03:38So actually, it's not a big deal for me if they're from another country.
03:43He also told us about how strong he is whenever he faces challenges.
03:48I think when I have a tough time,
03:52my family and loyal fans are always supporting me.
03:59I think they really give me a lot of energy to keep going.
04:04Hello, my dear fans. It's been a long time.
04:07And it's good to see you again.
04:09I hope to see all of you soon.
04:12I think I can remember this. You saying that, you know, in one of your fan meet,
04:17that you wanted to show the fans the new Kim Jisoo.
04:22What or who is the new Kim Jisoo?
04:25Maybe you just have to check it out.
04:28But, you know, I'm looking forward to more challenges in terms of acting.
04:33And now, especially, I put my last name, Kim, instead of just Jisoo before.
04:41So, you can officially call me Kim Jisoo.
04:45Nelson Canlas, updated on Showbiz Happenings.
04:49And because we're doing this live,
04:51you'll be able to watch the episodes of the mystery drama series, Widow's War, later.
04:56It's on the popular heritage destination of the youth,
04:59Sinebey Alondo, Carla Ballena, and other cast,
05:03with them, Aubrey Carampel.
05:05Aubrey?
05:11Let's admire the set of the long-awaited GMA series, Widow's War, here in Bagak, Bataan.
05:17And the cast assured us that it will be a surprise to watch later in their pilot episode.
05:25Remove your rapist, father.
05:27I'll find out, mother.
05:28A new mystery that will be on the minds of the viewers starting tonight,
05:34in the release of the world premiere of the GMA Prime series, Widow's War.
05:39A story of friendship, family, and love
05:43that will be dominated by tragedy, darkness, and death.
05:48In the trailer, you can already feel the different feels of the murder mystery series.
05:53That's why the two main characters of the series,
05:56Sinebey Alondo and Carla Ballena,
05:58who will play Samantha and George,
06:01are close friends, but will be mortal enemies.
06:06I guess what I like about this show is
06:09all the elements that would make a good show come together.
06:13Like stellar cast, and then good cinematography,
06:17good storytelling, and direction from Direk Zig,
06:21and our creative team.
06:22Aside from their fights, catfights, fights, and all that,
06:28I guess every secret of the characters,
06:33because there's no clear good and bad,
06:37I would say all the characters are grey, there's a hidden secret.
06:42Ms. Jean Garcia will also be returning to the GMA Prime
06:46in her upcoming role as Aurora Palacios.
06:50Jean is back to her very Madame role,
06:53that's why we should look forward to their confrontation scenes.
06:57This is a very different Madame.
06:59We even changed my clothes.
07:02I was inspired and challenged.
07:04Rafael Rosel will play the role of Aurora's son, Paco Palacios,
07:09who will mysteriously die in the series.
07:12Even though the cast still doesn't know
07:14who killed Paco Palacios.
07:19It's been one of my dreams that this will happen,
07:22that you will solve the mystery.
07:24The show will revolve around that death
07:27and how to solve that mystery.
07:32Beya Alonzo's company questioned
07:34the timing of filing a complaint against her
07:37to the National Labor Relations Commission or NLRC
07:40of the actress' driver.
07:43The NLRC called the actress
07:45for filing a complaint against the driver
07:48for money claims, illegal dismissal, and maltreatment.
07:52According to Beya's lawyer,
07:54the timing is doubtful,
07:56especially since she filed the complaint
07:58as a witness to one of her online libel cases.
08:03In Beya's first case,
08:05one of the defendants
08:08accused the actor of filing a complaint
08:10to the NLRC as the actress' driver.
08:12But according to Beya's lawyer,
08:14the actress filed a complaint
08:16as a family service driver for just three months.
08:20She was also not assigned as Beya's personal driver.
08:24According to Beya's lawyer,
08:26the complaint is clear that she will be fined.
08:29We are trying to get the witness
08:31who filed the complaint.
