  • Ryoo Seung-yong moves beyond stereotypes

    2012/05/21, Source,
    Actor Ryoo Seung-yong says he aims to dispel stereotypes and avoid "typical characters" when taking on roles. [JoongAng Ilbo] 'I wanted to avoid the obvious "Casanova" character and create one of my own'. Judging solely by his appearance, Ryoo Seung-yong would appear to be an archetypical masculine actor. Some of his fans even hesitate to approach him for autographs because he can be so intimidating. He's played up this image in a number of movies including "The Front Line" as an officer of the North Korea's People's Army and in "Arrow, The Ultimate Weapon" as a general of the Ching Dynasty,...More
  • Food alleys: Sindang-dong Tteokbokki Town

    2012/05/19, Source,
    One of Korea's most ubiquitous foods, tteokbokki has a lot more history than one might first imagine. Although now a popular street food snack, tteokbokki is derived from Korean royal court cuisine, and its development over the centuries traces Korea's history. Its roots can be traced back to the Joseon Dynasty, with the earliest written mention of the delicacy found in the 19th-century Joseon cookbook Siuijeonseo. It was originally a savory stir-fry made of rice cakes (tteok or garaetteok), meat, vegetables, and mushrooms, and seasoned with soy sauce,...More

    Animal heads blended with female bodies standout among thick, black backgrounds. Stencils of dragons, temples and anamorphic images adorn the walls. T-shirts hang waiting to be given designs differentiating them from their boring, one-color existence. When all these facets meet in an artistic sphere, it's JimmySK's studio. "Making images has always been part of my life and I cannot remember a time when I wasn't doing it", comments the artist. He describes his past in detail and narrates how art has always been central throughout his development, as an artist and a person,...More

Not the kind of all-nighter where you're studying, but the kind that you spend with your friends at various clubs or at a friend's pad tossing back drinks until the sun comes up. The morning after doesn't usually feel too good. In fact, it feels rotten. The ensuing hangover tears away at your being. Last summer, Featured Blogger Suzy Chung wrote about the 10 most popular Hangover and Energy Drinks. Believe it or not, hangover remedies are not new in Korea and date back more than a thousand years,...More

Also known as "Doenjang"
When a convict on death-row wants bean paste stew before he dies, a director becomes curious. He finds out many surprising truths.

A notorious murderer’s last words before execution are a request to have the soybean soup he had before his arrest. In the same way the reporter tried to uncover the meaning of “Rosebud” in Citizen Kane, a broadcast producer starts tracing the secret of the soup. Behind the captivating taste lies a woman’s unfortunate life and love story.
It has been twelve years since Lee Seogoon made his last film, Rub Love, and here the director wonderfully mixes two different genres-the thriller and the love story. The English title, “The Recipe” contains a lot of meaning: a record of a person’s life, a memory of taste, an experience of loss and a chronicle of hurts. In this sense, the film is a recipe for everything. With his original touch, Lee illustrates the obsession with unforgettable memories of love and a fatalistic point of view. The soybean soup recipe contains pain, longing and salvation. In a sense, the recipe is the very history of Korea’s memory and tradition. (LEE Sang-yong)
