James Bond museum in Thailand misfires, closing after only 1 day
The closure of a US$1.2 million James Bond museum aimed at wooing more tourists to southern Thailand after opening for only one day has prompted a lawmaker to call it a pointless project 'dressed up to impress' and demand accountability from officials. The state-funded attraction in Phang Nga, a tribute to The Man with the Golden Gun for showcasing the kingdom's multiple locations in the 1974 film, was built a year ago. But the museum has since become an eyesore, with its leaky roofs, broken exhibits and paint peeling off the walls. 'This was never a real plan. It was just a flashy idea with no follow-through,' said MP Phakamon Nunan, who revealed the museum's neglected condition after inspecting it on Monday. 'There has to be accountability. We can't just pour millions into vanity projects and walk away.' The administrators believed the decades-long appeal of nearby islands featured in the film would draw tourists to visit the museum, according to Phakamon.

Squid Game's final season breaks Netflix viewership records
The third season of Netflix's blockbuster series Squid Game racked up record viewership in its first three days, reinforcing the Korean survival drama's status as a global cultural phenomenon. The final season of the dystopian thriller logged more than 60 million views in its first three days – the biggest debut in that time frame – and ranked No 1 across all 93 countries with top 10 rankings, according to Netflix. That compares with the debut of the previous season, which drew 68 million views in the first four days. The runaway success of Squid Game highlights the enduring international appeal of Korean storytelling and Netflix's pivotal role in amplifying it. The series reflects deep-seated social anxieties while spotlighting South Korea's creative firepower. For Netflix, which has invested billions of dollars into Korean content, the challenge now is sustaining momentum with a pipeline strong enough to command global attention. Originally released in 2021, Squid Game was an instant hit and a cornerstone of Netflix's local-for-local strategy. The series remains Netflix's most-watched title of all time, amassing around 600 million views across its first two seasons to date. Lee Byung-hun as Front man in Squid Game Season 3.

'Ever since then, 80 per cent of Netflix members have watched Korean content and many of them still continue to do so.'
