Today, we'll be discussing Episodes 9 and 10 of Queen of Tears, the hit K Drama on Netflix starring Kim Ji-won as Hong Hae-in, Kim Soo-hyun as Baek Hyun-woo, Park Sung-hoon as Yoon Eun-Seong, Kwak Dong-Yeon as Hong Soo-cheol, and Lee Joo-bin as Cheon Da-Hye. We are joined by Ernabel Demillo, a frequent guest on K Drama Chat and Department Chair of the Communication and Media Culture Department at Saint Peter's University and host of the Emmy-award winning "Asian American Life" show on CUNY-TV. We discuss:The song we feature during the recap: Fallin' by Isaac Hong.Queen of Tears is now the second most popular K Drama of all time on tvN, after Crash Landing on You; both shows are written by Park Ji-eun.tvN has announced two extra episodes at the end of Queen of Tears; what will the episodes be about? Kim Soo-hyun has been nominated for Best Actor in the Baeksang Awards; we feel that Kim Ji-won, Han So-hee, Park Seo-joon, and Kim Tae-ri were snubbed.The Hong family is in a terrible situation. They've been locked out of their house, they don't have cars, their credit cards have been canceled, they've lost control of their company, and they're lost their jobs.The only people who take them in are Hyun-woo and his family.The Hong family is so unaccustomed to hardship and they're miserable in Yongdu-ri.There is such a contrast between the two families in the way they treat each other.There is a huge contrast between the two mothers in the way they treat Hae-in.Both dads are having an identity crisis: they have lost their jobs and purpose.Hyun-woo and Hae-in are driving us crazy because they won't communicate with each other! We think their lack of communication stems from the time Hae-in emptied the nursery and Hyun-woo left the marital bedroom. When this happened, they stopped talking to each other and then their pride wouldn't let them ask the other back into the bedroom.Hyun-woo and Hae-in kept missing opportunities to patch up their relationship, including when Hae-in overheard Hyun-woo talking about wanting to be by her side, when Hyun-woo came home all beat up, and when Hae-in realized the pink MP3 player was hers.There are many in Korea who think the story of Hae-in and Hyun-woo is based on the true story of the granddaughter of the Samsung chaebol who married an ordinary staffer. In 1999, Samsung heiress Lee Boo Jin married Lim Woo Jae.Hyun-woo does a great job of convincing David Yoon that he doesn't know where Hae-in is, even though he did pick them up in a van.The reference to Prince Sado, who was the father of the prince Yi San in Red Sleeve, and who later became King Jeongjo.Instead, Hyun-woo is investigating the land broker, the owner of the data restoration company, the failed investment fund, and the location of the Chairman. Hyun-woo convinced the deceived farmers to sue the land broker, which meant the land broker couldn't leave the country for his honeymoon. Later, the land broker and his thugs try to beat up Hyun-woo, who manages to defend himself ably because he was a champion boxer in his youth.Our crazy predictions for this show:Hyun-woo is going to try and prove that the power of attorney that Moh Sul-hee signed is invalid because it's a forgery, she's not really Moh Sul-hee!Hyun-woo's brother, Baek Hyun-tae, is going to be important because he knows a lot about stocks and previously owned Queen Group stock.Beom-seuk, the Chairman's estranged son, will have some insight into the embezzlement that could save the Chairman, or the person who knows where the secret fund is.Cheon Da-hye, Soo-cheol's wife, will come back and turn on David Yoon.Moh Sul-hee and David Yoon are now at odds with each other because David Yoon didn't want the Hong family banished. David Yoon wants to be with Hae-in.We speculate about why David Yoon is so obsessed with Hae-in.Until the very end, Hyun-woo is in the dark about Hae-in's feelings towards him. He thinks she hates him because he abandoned and deceived her.We feel so sorry for Soo-cheol, who now knows that everything about his wife was fake. She even told him that their son is not his biological son.It looks like Beom-ja will have a romance with the village marriage counselor, who looks like Leslie Cheung. Leslie Cheung is a debonair Hong Kong singer and actor. This prediction came from Laurel, one of our listeners!The theme of regret in this show. Hyun-woo, Hae-in and Beom-ja all express regrets over their actions.Hae-in is so brave when she reveals during the press conference that David Yoon threatened her. In this instance, Hyun-woo finally learns that Hae-in still cares for him.The amazing acting with their eyes by Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Ji-won.The K Drama elements we see in this episode, including: all the crying, all the food, all the drinking, the Trip and Catch, the Bulgari Serpenti necklace that Moh Sul-hee wore, and the Subway scene!Ernabel's recent trip to South Korea with a professor from her school who used to be a police chief in South Korea.The shows we're watching now: Ernabel is watching Marry My Husband, Sung Hee is watching Doctor Slump, and Joanna is watching Captivating the King.ReferencesA sneak peak into the life and work of South Korean singer Isaac HongFallin' by Isaac Hong on YouTubeThe Uncanny Similarities “Queen Of Tears” Bears With A Real-life Heiress StoryPodcast episode with Dan Pink on Brene Brown's show about the Power of RegretLeslie Cheung on WikipediaPodcast episode with Brene Brown and Dan Pink on the Power of Regret
Today, we'll be discussing Episode 10, the finale of Gyeongseong Creature, the hit K Drama on Netflix starring Park Seo-joon as Jang Tae-sang, Han So-hee as Yoon Chae-ok, Wi Ha-jun as Kwon Jun-taek, Kim Soo-hyun as Lady Maeda, Ji Woo as Myeong-ja, Jo Han-chul as Yoon Joong-won, and Kim Hae-sook as Nawol daek. We discuss:The song we feature during the recap: Forever, instrumental version, by SUHOHow Yoon Chae-ok is nowhere to be found until Beom-oh says he knows where she is. Mrs. Nawol and Mr. Gu are dubious but Jang Tae-sang believes him.We have a disagreement over who Jang Tae-sang intended to use the tickets to Shanghai. Did he intend for Yoon Chae-ok and her father to use them? Or did he hope he and Yoon Chae-ok would be able to go to Shanghai?The sadness, loss and betrayal Yoon Chae-ok must have felt when she learned that her father had gone to her mother and blown up the hospital.How Sachimoto helps Jang Tae-sang and Yoon Chae-ok escape the hospital. He is the only Japanese character who apologizes for the atrocities being committed at the hospital.How Yoon Chae-ok tried to break things off with Jang Tae-sang because she didn't want to be a burden to him and she just can't see a future where she can be happy. She's been on a suicide mission for most of this show. He, however, can't live without her, so he will devote himself to keeping her safe.Lady Maeda's confrontation with Jang Tae-sang and Yoon Chae-ok and her orders to her men to kill our leads. There is also a language shift here, with the conversation starting in Korean and shifting to Japanese.We learn that Lady Maeda lost a friend because of Seishin. Does this explain why she's in Joseon and why she had Seishin taken prisoner so many years ago?How the creature escapes the fire at the hospital, tracks Yoon Chae-ok, slices through the Japanese thugs, and ends up accidentally killing her own daughter!How Yoon Chae-ok told her mother that it's time to stop, and confessed that Jang Tae-sang is the man she loves.How Jang Tae-sang is wracked with sobs and anguish when Yoon Chae-ok dies. He finally has someone he is willing to risk everything for and she has just died!How Col. Kato delivered Myeong-ja's baby, probably by performing a C-section that killed Myeong-ja. We also see that the najin is in the baby!How Jang Tae-sang and the rebels blow up the funeral hall where the Ishikawa memorial service is being held. Lady Maeda is badly burned as a result and Col. Kato asks her if she will return to Japan or stay in Joseon.How Jang Tae-sang and Kwon Jun-taek finally have their drink, but Jang Tae-sang still refuses to join the independent fighters.How we see Jang Tae-sang sitting and waiting on the steps of the House of Golden Treasure.How the war ended in August and Jang Tae-sang says “we finally recovered those that were taken from us” presumably referring to Koreans who had been taken prisoner by the Japanese.The K Drama elements we see in this episode, including lots of crying, lots of flowers in the funeral wreaths, and how Yoon Chae-ok and Yoon Joong-won sacrificed themselves for their loved ones.The cryptic and ambiguous ending where we see that Yoon Chae-ok is alive again after investing the najin from her mother, and we see a man named Ho-jae who looks remarkably like Jang Tae-sang.What we ultimately thought of this show.How we're excited to dive into Queen of Tears starring Kim Ji-won and Kim Soo-hyun, in Season 7 of K Drama Chat.
Today, we'll be discussing Episode 9 of Gyeongseong Creature, the hit K Drama on Netflix starring Park Seo-joon as Jang Tae-sang, Han So-hee as Yoon Chae-ok, Wi Ha-jun as Kwon Jun-taek, Kim Soo-hyun as Lady Maeda, Ji Woo as Myeong-ja, Jo Han-chul as Yoon Joong-won, and Kim Hae-sook as Nawol daek. We discuss:How Jang Tae-sang and Yoon Chae-ok are reunited and they manage to sneak a few moments of joy together.How Yoon Chae-ok doesn't want to be forgotten and she makes Jang Tae-sang promise that they will always remember each other.The amazing kiss between Jang Tae-sang and Yoon Chae-ok!Jang Tae-sang's plan to blow up Ongseong Hospital.How the Japanese control the news; the killings by Myeong-ja aren't reported until Ishikawa is dead and then he is reported as having died honorably while going after the Joseon serial killer.How Yoon Chae-ok was on a suicide mission when she killed Dr. Ichiro. She can't see a future, while Jang Tae-sang is motivated by a better future.After so many years of looking for her mom, now that she's found her, Yoon Chae-ok can't imagine a future life, and she certainly can't imagine a life filled with happiness.How Lady Maeda didn't seem too upset when she heard about her husband's condition; in fact, she asked Dr. Ichiro to put an end to his misery.Yoon Joong-won has gone back into the hospital to end his wife's misery; he lets himself be imprisoned, but then manages to get away from his captors and is now loose in the hospital.Nobody can find Yoon Chae-ok but we learn that she is at Lady Maeda's house.Jang Tae-sang has figured out that Lady Maeda has Yoon Chae-ok, and he challenges her, saying he'll never stop looking for Yoon Chae-ok.When Lady Maeda tells Jang Tae-sang about his staff's betrayals, he counters that his people would not have had to betray their loved ones if it weren't for the crimes of the Japanese.Jang Tae-sang confesses to Mrs. Nawol that he knew about her betrayal a short time after his mother died, but she doesn't need forgiveness because it wasn't her fault.Yoon Chae-ok is taken to Ongseong Hospital and the creature breaks through the grate.The K Drama elements in this episode, including lots of crying, more information about the connection between Lady Maeda and Seishin from the past, the amazing kiss, and the funeral for Commissioner Ishikawa.A bit of information about Japanese funerals and the expected behavior of guests.The show we will recap and analyze in Season 7 of K Drama Chat!

Tune in as Jessica and Saunya (Opinionated Lushes) rejoin Arthur to review and recap The Marvels, the sequel to 2019's Captain Marvel (and a few other pieces of the ever-growing MCU). The multiple factors that led to this becoming a box office bomb, the real-life cases to which the Kree's colonialist and imperialist regime can be compared (*cough cough* Israel and the U.S.), and Kamala Khan being an authentically and lovably cringey teenager comprise just a few of the talking points that the hosts dive into today. Directed by Nia DaCosta, The Marvels stars Brie Larson, Iman Vellani, Teyonah Parris, Zawe Ashton, Samuel L. Jackson, Park Seo-joon, Gary Lewis, Zenobia Shroff, Mohan Kapur, Saagar Shaikh, Leila Farzad, Abraham Popoola, Lashana Lynch, Tessa Thompson, and Daniel Ings.

We discuss:How we are grateful to our listeners! We have listeners all over the world and our audience is growing!The song we feature in the recap: Forever by SUHO.How the Japanese and Korean characters in this show speak both Japanese and Korean and it can be very confusing.How knowing what language our characters are speaking gives you a sense of who has the upper hand in the conversation.The sleuths, who are really good, because they figured out where Myeong-ja is and how she got there (she was sent there by Lade Maeda).How Mr. Gu wonders if Myeong-ja is another of the many women and girls who have disappeared in Gyeongseong, a reference to the Japanese Army practice of kidnapping women and girls during WWII and turning them into sex slaves, or what they called “comfort women.”How we now know that Lady Maeda had a powerful motive for getting rid of Myeong-ja AND she has some relationship with Dr. Ichiro.The few lighthearted moments of the show, especially when Jang Tae-sang is dumbstruck when he sees Yoon Chae-ok all dressed up in the light blue suit and pillbox hat.The secret hand signal that the Korean independence army members use to signal each other.The significance of Manchuria because it shares a border with what is now North Korea.The origin story of Sachimoto, including the fact that he drew Yoon Chae-ok's mom!How we know that the creature is Yoon Chae-ok's mom through her swollen left eye and wooden flower pendant.Our thoughts on why Jang Tae-sang decides to go back into Ongseong Hospital.The K Drama elements we see in this episode, especially the triangle between Lady Maeda, Commissioner Ishikawa and Myeong-ja, and the umbrella scene with Lady Maeda.The meaning behind the title: Mother, between longing and anguish.How the intro scene at the beginning of each episode is NOT the origin story of Yoon Chae-ok's mom. We made a mistake. The intro is the origin story of the first girl to swallow a najin, turn into a creature, and get captured by the Japanese.The amazing and handsome Park Seo-joon, including how his last name is pronounced Pahk, not Pak and not Park.How episode 3 has some gory scenes with the creature AND some scenes of cruelty by soldiers against prisoners and other soldiers.ReferencesKorean Independence Movement in WikipediaTIME Magazine article on the real history behind Gyeongseong CreaturePark Seo-joon on WikipediaCome To My Heart from A Witch's Love sung by Park Seo-joon

La Corée du Sud est-elle en train de s'imposer comme la nouvelle place forte du marché de l'art en Asie ? Du 6 au 9 septembre s'est déroulé la deuxième édition de la Frieze Séoul. Ce rendez-vous de collectionneurs, galeristes et amateurs d'arts met en lumière la dynamique du marché sud-coréen, qui est désormais le sixième mondial. De nombreuses galeries à la renommée internationale ont fait le choix de s'installer à Séoul pour rayonner en Asie. Dans les allées de la Frieze Séoul, en plein cœur du très chic quartier de Gangnam, les éclats de voix en cantonais, japonais ou mandarin, se mélangent avec l'anglais et le coréen. Pour cette deuxième édition, le monde de l'art asiatique et mondial a fait le déplacement. À l'image de Rachel Lehmann, fondatrice de la galerie Lehmann-Maupin, qui a un espace en Corée du Sud depuis 2017.« Tout d'abord, il y a de très bons artistes. Ensuite, li y les fondations pour que ces artistes puissent gagner leur vie, et de bonnes académies, ce qui est super important. Tout cela permet de faire émerger une scène artistique. Mais ce développement n'est pas très récent, il y a eu une croissance constante ces quinze dernières années », explique-t-elle.Fabien Massicot, codirecteur de la galerie Art Works Paris Seoul, s'est installé en 2014, avant l'arrivée des plus grandes galeries internationales. « Séoul est devenue une place internationale pour le marché de l'art. D'abord des galeries étrangères sont venues s'installer, mais surtout la Frieze a ouvert sa foire à Séoul, ce qui a braqué l'objectif sur l'art coréen, donc plus de collectionneurs étrangers s'intéressent à nos artistes coréens. »Une tendance qui se confirme à la foire où la galerie française Perrotin a choisi de mettre en avant son vivier local. « Nous avons de grands artistes sud-coréens, comme Park Seo-bo ou Shim Moon-seop que nous représentons. Depuis longtemps, nous savons que les collectionneurs coréens étaient très actifs, et l'année dernière, nous avons réalisé que ces jeunes collectionneurs émergents étaient en croissance ici. Et nous pensons qu'ils seront très importants pour notre futur et c'est pour ça que nous continuons notre expansion ici », détaille Amy Park, la responsable de la communication de la galerie.Une tendance qui doit profiter aux artistesAprès avoir littéralement explosé en 2021, le marché de l'art a connu un net ralentissement début 2023. Dans ce contexte, la jeunesse des collectionneurs sud-coréen rend la Corée du Sud attrayante, mais il faut que cette tendance profite aux artistes, rappelle Patrick Lee, directeur de Frieze Séoul.« Quand on parle du marché de l'art très dynamique de la jeune génération d'acheteurs ici, il faut rappeler que beaucoup d'entre eux pensent qu'il n'y a que le marché de l'art aux enchères. Donc j'espère qu'une foire comme la Frieze peut aider à éduquer et faire comprendre à une partie de ces jeunes collectionneurs que les galeries soutiennent les artistes, et qu'en achetant aux galeries, on soutient les artistes. Mais cette culture est en train de changer, ce qui est très positif. »Avec le plus grand nombre de musées privés au monde, un système fiscal attractif et l'investissement durable d'acteurs locaux, la scène artistique séoulite semble solide. Beaucoup espèrent même qu'elle dépassera Hong Kong pour devenir la capitale du marché de l'art asiatique, mais d'autres craignent que l'attention internationale freine l'émergence de jeunes artistes sud-coréens.À lire aussiDes œuvres de la famille Samsung exposées au musée national de Corée

Sutradara Lee Byeong-hun yang pernah menghibur kita lewat komedi Extreme Job kali ini menyajikan Dream, drama tentang sepakbola dan kehidupan para tunawisma di Korea Selatan.

Depuis le 27 juillet 1953 et l'armistice de Panmunjeom, les deux Corées sont séparées par une frontière unique : la bien mal nommée « zone démilitarisée » (DMZ). Cette bande de terre, longue de 250 kilomètres et large de quatre, est truffée de mines de barbelés et scrutée de près par des centaines de milliers de soldats. Mais l'absence humaine a été comblée par un développement rapide de la faune et de la flore, transformant l'ancien champ de bataille en un mur vert. De notre correspondant à Séoul,À quelques kilomètres de la Corée du Nord, dans la ville de Paju, des éclats de rires viennent rompre le calme d'un quartier paisible. Tous les vendredis, l'équipe du DMZ Ecology Research institutese réunit pour mener des études sur la biodiversité à la frontière intercoréenne. « Aujourd'hui, une partie de l'enquête va se concentrer sur les zones humides proches des rizières, un lieu que nous n'avons pas encore étudié », explique Kim Seung-ho, le directeur de l'ONG.Voilà plus de dix ans que des bénévoles se rendent au-delà de la ligne de contrôle civile -sorte de zone tampon entre les barbelés de la frontière à proprement parler, où l'accès est contrôlé par l'armée. Impossible de rentrer dans la DMZ en tant que tel. Seules quelques patrouilles s'aventurent du côté sud de la ligne de démarcation et difficile de savoir ce qui se passe au Nord. Selon l'Institut national de l'écologie, plus de 6 000 espèces de plantes et d'animaux profitent de cette zone, privée d'interférences humaines. Surtout, « la DMZ est devenue un refuge pour 37% des espèces en voie d'extinction de Corée », explique Park Seo-yong, directrice de la politique de la nature et de l'écologie au sein du ministère de l'Environnement. « C'est un trésor de biodiversité dans un territoire limité, car cela représente seulement 1.56% de la Corée du Sud »[0.45% de la péninsule, NDLR]. Au-delà de l'absence humaine, les rivières, les montagnes et les zones humides de la DMZ offrent une diversité permettant à la nature de se développer dans des conditions optimales le long du 38e parallèle.Une fois les contrôles effectués au check-point, le convoi est escorté par un officiel du ministère de la Défense. La camionnette de Mr Kim roule à vive allure sur des sentiers pendant quelques kilomètres avant de s'arrêter dans la zone de recherche. Parmi la dizaine de bénévoles, chacun joue un rôle bien établi. « Cette personne-là va analyser l'écosystème dans lequel vivent les papillons et elle va observer la végétation, car c'est sa spécialité. Une autre équipe va se concentrer sur le statut de reproduction des oiseaux, des oiseaux d'été et l'habitat des oiseaux migrateurs », détaille Kim Seung-ho.Les grues à couronne rouge, par exemple, survolent la péninsule l'hiver et se reposent parfois entre les Corées. Pour le directeur de l'Institut, l'objectif du jour est de vérifier que leur habitat naturel n'est pas endommagé par les agriculteurs autorisés à travailler dans la zone ou par les exercices militaires. Plus d'un million de mines « Mine danger ». L'inscription accompagnée d'une tête de mort sur des panneaux rouges longe les sentiers. Une vision qui, couplée au bruit des tirs de fusil, nous rappelle que cette balade bucolique se déroule à quelques centaines de mètres de la frontière la plus militarisée au monde. « Là, des deux côtés de la route, il y a des mines. Bien sûr que l'on a envie de traverser et d'aller voir dans ces zones minées, car c'est une nature plus dense, encore mieux préservée, assure Mr Kim. Mais il faut respecter les règles quand on conduit une étude sur une zone militaire. » Si les estimations divergent, au moins un million de mines se trouvent dans la zone. Parfois des animaux sautent dessus, se blessent, meurent ou provoquent des glissements de terrain. Mais d'après le directeur de l'ONG, la plupart d'entre eux « ont appris à vivre avec. Ils savent où il est possible de passer et quels chemins représentent un danger. »Parmi eux, l'ours noir asiatique détecté par des caméras dans la frontière en 2019, le Porte-musc de Sibérie, mais aussi les chèvres des montagnes, des reptiles et bien d'autres. Zone en dangerMais cette réserve naturelle accidentelle perdure du fait d'un fragile statu quo, vestige de la guerre froide. « Le plus gros problème, c'est l'activité des armées dans la zone qui endommage durablement l'habitat des plantes comme des animaux, assure le Professeur An Jong-bin, chercheur au Jardin botanique de la DMZ. Le réchauffement climatique commence aussi à influencer négativement la biodiversité. Ce sont les deux principales menaces qui pèsent sur la DMZ. »L'évolution des tensions entre les Corées affecte la faune et la flore qui y ont élu refuge. En 2018, en plein rapprochement intercoréen, des opérations de déminage communes avaient été menées. Une époque qui semble lointaine. Le retour des conservateurs au pouvoir en Corée du Sud et l'échec des négociations entre Donald Trump et Kim Jong-un a entraîné une hausse des exercices militaires au sud comme au nord de la frontière. Paradoxalement, une réunification ou un rapprochement n'offrent pas non plus une assurance-vie aux animaux et aux plantes de la DMZ. Une autoroute, des centres commerciaux, des musées ou d'autres projets de développement économique entre les Corées pourraient prendre le pas sur la préservation de l'environnement.

Rumors have surfaced that actor Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner are potentially dating. The news sparked in January when an entertainment news channel called Deux Moi posted a breathless “new couple alert!” According to Glamour, sources claim that the rumored couple spent New Year's together in Aspen, possibly went on vacation to Turks and Caicos in January, and will be attending Coachella together later this month. Jenner, of course, split with her on and off boyfriend and the father of her two kids, Travis Scott, around the holidays last year. It seems that Nick Cannon may not be done thinking about having children, at least on the recent Howard Stern show. The host of the Masked Singer joked about who he'd most want to become the mother of his next baby — who would become his 13th child total — coming to the conclusion that Taylor Swift would be a perfect fit, according to Billboard. During the interview Stern asked, “Who would be the woman that'd make you have a baby again?” Cannon replied, “I'm not doing this. I can [already] see the headlines … I'm all in. First of all, she's an amazing songwriter. What I do love about Taylor Swift is the fact that she has been so vulnerable and open with all of her music since she was a young girl.” "Stranger Things" star Millie Bobby Brown and actor Jake Bongiovi, the son of rock legend Jon Bon Jovi, appeared to announce their engagement on Tuesday, according to NBC News. Brown, 19, posted photos to her Instagram in black and white showing off a giant ring with the caption, "I've loved you three summers now, honey, I want 'em all," the British actor wrote on Instagram, apparently referencing Taylor Swift's "Lover." Bongiovi, 20, posted something similar to his Instagram with the caption, “forever”. The trailer for the upcoming MCU film “The Marvels” dropped its first teaser on Tuesday during Good Morning America. Fans got a first look at the Marvel film starring Captain Marvel (Brie Larson), Ms. Marvel (Iman Vellani), and Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris). As stated by Marvel, Carol Danvers also known as Captain Marvel has reclaimed her identity from the tyrannical Kree and taken revenge on the Supreme Intelligence. But unintended consequences see Carol shouldering the burden of a destabilized universe. The film will also star Samuel L. Jackson, Zawe (Zah-Wee) Ashton, and Park Seo-joon. Nia DaCosta will be directing the anticipated film and Kevin Feige is the producer. “The Marvels” releases in theaters on November 10.
