Just wait and see what happens to Cheonggye Stream in central Seoul where "The Host 2" will be shot this summer.
The movie is a prequel to Bong Joon-ho's "The Host" (2006), which starred Song Kang-ho, Byeon Hee-bong and Park Hae-il. "The Host" featured just one beast living near Wonhyo Bridge; the prequel is packed with malevolent monsters living downtown.
Havoc ensues when hapless developers dig up Cheonggye Stream in 2003 and unearth several disgruntled residents of the hairy and ugly kind who are mightily unhappy that their homes just got bulldozed.
