For one day, actresses Ye Ji-won, 36, and Choi Jeong-yoon, 32, will become acting teachers for underprivileged children from rural areas across the country.
Ye will teach an acting class at Toto's Workshop, a summer camp for a film production, at the movie studio complex in Namyangju, Gyeoggi Province, Aug. 11. Choi will fulfill the same role the following day.
A total of 32 children, selected among fourth to sixth graders, have been able to experience the film production process hands-on. The three-day camp ends Wednesday.
CJ Sharing Foundation, the camp's organizer, said that the two actresses will pass on their acting experience to the elementary schoolchildren, who have had few chances to undergo acting and other movie-making processes.
"Ye will help children how to express their feelings, through moving her body. Choi is scheduled to guide how to express emotions in a variety of situations, reenacting a scene in the film 'Radio Star (2006)' with children active in the camp," said a spokesman of CJ Sharing, a charity affiliated with the CJ Entertainment Group.
In the film, Choi starred as a DJ in a remote village of Yeongwol, in mountainous Gangwon Province.
