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.
Arirang TV plans radio news slots for 'English-living environment'

Arirang will air English radio news 50 minutes a day and 10 five-minute news programs on the Korean radio station YTN on 94.5 FM starting April 1.
"There have been many plans to strengthen public English education in Korea", said Chang Myung-ho, president of Arirang TV, during a press conference last Thursday. "The most important strategy is to create an English-living environment".
Meanwhile, Arirang TV is launching three new subtitle services in March including Russian, Vietnamese and Indonesian.
