Pop icon Ho Quynh Huong says she has worked very hard to perform martial arts for a Korean action movie

The Korean action movie “The Contract” starring Vietnamese pop singer Ho Quynh Huong will be released in South Korea and Vietnam early 2010, the singer announced.

The singer has never acted in a Vietnamese film so far and her leading role in the Korean movie came as a surprise.

“I worked very hard to do martial arts for this action movie,” said Huong who plays a sexy, cold-faced assassin.

“I exercised everyday to make my body more sensual.”

The 28-year-old singer added she acted with a handsome Korean man who grew up in the US.

Huong said the Korean director chose her because of her eyes, but she declined to unveil any more details about the film until its release.

She is now waiting for her latest album “Nang Luong” (Energy) to be released in China and Korea, adding she has had a lot of support on her tours to both countries.
