Gorgeous South Korean Actress Han Ga-In

Han Ga-in was born on 25 February 1982 in Seoul, South Korea. Ga-In is an actress with almost a dozen TV series and movies to her name since 2002.

This 167cm babe started in the entertainment industry when as a high school student, Han Ga-in appeared on a TV quiz show and was also captured in footage of interviews with other students. Entertainment bigwigs spotted her in the news clip and immediately went to her school to offer her a part.

She debuted in an Asiana Airlines commercial in 2002, and was cast in the KBS2 drama Sunshine Hunting. She was named best new actress at the 2003 KBS Drama Awards.

So far, this year has been the most successful year yet. Period drama series The Moon that Embraces the Sun, in which she played the heroine Yeon-woo, ended with a whopping audience share of 40 percent when the final episode aired. Then her film Architecture 101 got rave reviews and set a new box-office record as the highest-grossing Korean melodrama.

Awesome!

A raunchy stuffed animal and a posse of male strippers go to battle this weekend at the domestic box office as Hollywood readies for the lucrative July 4th holiday.

Univeral's R-rated comedy Ted, starring Mark Wahlberg opposite a teddy bear, has a good chance of besting holdover Brave for the weekend crown with a debut in the $ 35 million to $ 40 million range on the strength of younger males (the studio is predicting a more conservative $ 26 million to $ 35 million).

Directed by Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, Ted was packaged and fully financed for $ 50 million by Media Rights Capital.

Opinion is divided as to how much Brave will gross in its second weekend after opening to a stellar $ 66.3 million last weekend. If the film drops 50 percent, it will earn $ 33 million; if it drops 40 percent, it will gross $ 40 million.

The wild card of the weekend is Steven Soderbergh's male-stripper dramedy Magic Mike, loosely based on Channing Tatum's early days as an exotic dancer. The film's cast also includes Matthew McConaughey and Alex Pettfyer.

Warner Bros. acquired North American rights to Magic Mike for only $ 7 million.

Magic Mike, benefiting from intense interest among women, has racked up strong advance ticket sales, in line with previous female-skewing films, including fellow Warner pic Sex and the City. Warners is predicting an opening in the $ 15 million to $ 20 million range for Magic Mike, although other box office observers believe it could earn as much as $ 25 million.

Magic Mike should see strong midnight business on Thursday.

The weekend's other two new entires are Tyler Perry's latest outing Madea's Witness Protection, from Lionsgate, and DreamWorks and Disney's adult Adult Drama, directed by Alex Kurtzman and starring Chris Pine, Olivia Wilde, Elizabeth Banks and Michelle Pfeiffer.

Witness Protection -- which is tracking strongly among black women -- could keep up with Magic Mike and debut in the $ 20 million to $ 25 million range, although Lionsgate puts the film's debut in the high teens.

Witness Protection is the first Perry film to be released in summer, and Lionsgate is betting on good midweek business over July 4th week.

People Like Us, going out in a smaller number of theaters than its rivals, is expected to open in the $ 5 million to $ 7 million range, a soft start for the DreamWorks film. The hope is that the movie will serve as counter-programming throughout the holiday period.

In New York and Los Angeles, People Like Us could end up competing with Fox Searchlight's critically acclaimed Beasts of the Southern Wild for adult attention. Beasts, an early awards contender, opened on Wednesday to promising numbers for an arthouse title, grossing $ 27,175 from four theaters in Ne York and Los Angeles for a location average of $ 6,794.
