MK Pictures to relaunch as Myung Films (Source) 2010/07/29
Korean production house MK Pictures is to merge its operations with Myung Films under the single corporate identity of the latter. MK was formed in 2004 from a partnership between Myung Films and Kang Je-gyu films.

MK and Myung have coordinated their film-making endeavors for several years and will now operate solely as Myung Films from August 7. Myung is one of Korea's most successful film companies since its establishment in August 1995. The merger is timed for the 15th anniversary of the company.

The company has produced many local blockbuster hits including "The Contact" (1997), "JSA - Joint Security Area" (2000) and "Forever the Moment" (2007). Myung's next release is "Cyrano Agency", an adaptation of the 19th century French literary classic, directed by KIM Hyeon-seok, slated for release before the September Chusok holidays.

Top actress Lee Young-ae pregnant (Source) 2010/07/23
By Ines Min
Staff reporter

Lee Young-ae, one of Korea's top acting stars, is pregnant with her first child, management associates said Friday.

"Lee is currently pregnant", representatives of Storm S Company said, adding that further details would be released later so that the excitement won't distress Lee in her condition.

The 39-year-old actress married a Korean-American in August 2009, in a low key wedding kept away from the prying eyes of the public. The sudden marriage in Hawaii came as a surprise to many of her fans. The only information Lee released about her husband was that he had graduated from an engineering college in Illinois and was working at an IT firm.

Lee first made her debut on Korean TV as a model before moving on to gain popularity in dramas and films. Her role in "Dae Jang Geum", or "Jewel in the Palace", led her to reach a new level of hallyu popularity in Southeast Asian countries and Iran.

Her film performances include a role in the 2000 "JSA - J... |More

New wave of pop culture redefines Korea (Source) 2010/07/05
By Andrew Salmon
Contributing writer

In 1990, the American academic Joseph Nye coined the term "soft power". This referred to nations winning friends and influencing people through the attraction of their values, culture, institutions and policies, as opposed to "hard power", based on coercion and payment. At the heart of soft power is the assumption that other people "want what you want".

This theory rationalized much of what the United States already offered, disseminated and lived up to ― or, at least, attempted to live up to: values such as political freedom, liberal democracy and free market economics. While these values could be disseminated by policies and institutions, it is, arguably, the US entertainment industry that has done most to disseminate the "American dream" globally.

A Changing Korea

"Soft power" challenged Korea's traditional development paradigm. From the 1960s, authoritarian governments had placed absolute primacy on economic growth. Social and... |More

Lee Byeong-heon [Asia Economic Daily]


Hallyu star Lee Byeong-heon's former girlfriend has requested for a new date of pleading to be set last minute, resuming a half-year long legal battle against the actor which was thought to have been withdrawn.


"In the afternoon, we received a mail from her containing an application for a third trial regarding the compensation suit she filed against Lee", Judge Jung Hyun-myung at the Seoul Central Prosecutors' Office said late on Monday, adding a new date of hearing would be set the following day##.


The court had decided earlier in the day to conclude that a civil suit that Lee's ex-girlfriend, a Canadian-American woman... |More

Synopsis

A firefight occurs at the “Bridge of No Return” in the DMZ (De-Militarized Zone), and two North Korean soldiers are killed. The North claims that the incident was a flagrant attack by the South Koreans, while the South claims that one of their soldiers was kidnapped. In order to solve the dispute, the NNSC (Neutral Nations Supervisory Commission) dispatches half-Korean half-Swiss Army Intelligence Bureau officer, Major Sophie E. Jean. With no cooperation from either side, the case appears to be unsolvable. However, Major Jean discovers that the number of bullets fired from the pistols and the number found at the scene differ by one, and she begins to dig deeper into the backgrounds of the soldiers involved. Subsequently she finds out about an encounter previous to the firefight when North Korean soldiers saved a South Korean soldier from a mine. The story unravels to reveal a friendship developing among the soldiers. On the night of the firefight…

just watched this movie. It's not only about a war. For me, it's all about friendship. This is my best line: "if war really broke out, would we have to shoot each other too?"
