Director Park Chan-wook, who received the Jury Award at the Cannes Film Festival for his movie "Thirst", says that Korean films can gain global recognition by improving their artistic expression and setting new trends.

In an interview with the Yonhap News ahead of the screening of "Thirst" at the London Barbican Centre as the opening film of the 4th London Korean Film Festival, Park said that Korean movies can be exported overseas not only by producing them in English but also by setting new trends.

The festival will run through November 18 at the London Barbican Centre and the British Film Institute. A total of 29 Korean films will be screened, including "Thirst" as well as "Mother - 2009" by Bong Joon-ho.

Interview with director Park Chan-wook.

-- Did the film face a lot of red tape because it deals with Christianity?

- We had a hard time designing its posters. In Korea, we had to take out the image of the lead actress's legs from the poster because they were said to l...| More

Epik High leader Tablo, 29, and actress Kang Hye-jeong, 27, wed Monday afternoon at the Bailey House, southern Seoul.

Few details of one of the year's most talked-about celebrity weddings were revealed but a press release by Tablo's management agency announced Sunday that the two were set to tie the knot at 1 p.m. at the residence-style wedding hall in Samseong-dong.

The private event, which, unlike other celebrity weddings, was closed to the press, was small in scale and included only relatives and a few friends.

Guests included hip hop artists Drunken Tiger, Yoon Mi-rae (aka. T) and Jung In, according to Yonhap News Agency. Tablo's fellow group member Mithra Jin hosted the event and hip hop duo Leessang took the stage as wedding singers, performing "Leessang Blues", said the news wire.

The couple said that the wedding invitation, designed by a friend, was "the most beautiful among items bearing our name", and the most memorable among gif...| More

Manilla's 2009 Korean Film Festival opened Sept 23, offering free screenings to the public during its one week run. Sponsored by the Korean Embassy and held at Shangri-La Plaza, the fest showcases seven Korean features and celebrates the "Philippines-Republic of Korea Friendship Year".

The program features some of the most artistically accomplished films in Korean cinema over the last 9 years, including renowned and emerging directors. Korean TV dramas are already popular in the Philippines, but audiences have yet to be exposed to Korean feature filmmaking.

The seven films in the program are "Old Boy" (PARK Chan-wook), "Barking Dogs Never Bite" (BONG Joon-ho), "Sa-Kwa" (KANG Yi-kwan), "Beyond the Years" (IM Kwon-taek), "The Show Must Go On" (HAN Jae-rim), "Forbidden Quest" (KIM Dae-woo) and "Driving with My Wife's Lover" (KIM Tae-sik).

One day in 1988, an ordinary man named OH Dae-su, who lives with his wife and adorable daughter, is kidnapped and later wakes up to find himself in a private makeshift prison. Dae-su makes numerous attempts to escape and to commit suicide, but they all end up in failure. All the while Dae-su asks himself what made a man hate him so much enough to imprison him without any reason. While suffering from his debacle, Dae-su becomes shocked when he watches the news and hears that his beloved wife was brutally murdered. At this very moment, Dae-su swears to take revenge on the man who destroyed his happy life.
Fifteen years have passed and Dae-su is released with a wallet filled with money and a mobile phone. An unknown man calls Dae-su and asks him to figure out why he was imprisoned. In front of bewildered Dae-su, a girl named Mido appears and she promises to help him seek vengeance after hearing about his 15 years in confinement. With Mido¡¯s help, Dae-su begins to trace the guy and finally encounters the private prison where he discovers a cassette tape, which only says... "OH Dae-su talks too much¡¦¡± While Dae-su and Mido¡¯s search goes on, Dae-su finally runs face to face with his kidnapper. The culprit says there will be no way to find out the reason of his imprisonment if Dae-su kills him now. Instead, he proposes a game. He tells Dae-su that if he discovers the reason for his imprisonment in five days, then he will kill himself. If not, he will kill Mido. Only five days are given to Dae-su to find out the reason behind the guy¡¯s grudge against Dae-su. While doing so, hidden secrets about Dae-su and Mido's relationship are revealed.
