Known for his wide vocal range and emotive stage delivery, the star found fame with the self-effacing ballad I'm Not Good Looking But I'm Very Gentle (1988).
He then followed up with power ballads At Last I Have Lost You (1989), about a man whose girlfriend ran away just as he achieved professional success; and A Tiny Bird (1990), about a man who aspires towards success and love but cannot seem to find them.

Theatre review: Jaha Koo's Haribo Kimchi cooks up hearty serving of themes
Jaha Koo Esplanade Theatre Studio Aug 1, 8pm The enduring image of this bittersweet telling of migration and the ways food both suffocates and stays on people's tongues may be its finale of a livestreamed gyrating robotic eel smartly shot from floor level. Or it could be of theatremaker Jaha Koo sprinting across the Esplanade Theatre Studio to hand out free Somaek (a mix of soju and beer). The preceding mood the work conjures is damper, more controlled and meditative, reminiscent of an Edward Hopper painting or Ryan Gosling steering the wheel in the film Drive (2011), with a toothpick in his mouth, backed by electronic synth music. Koo turns mechanised overall loneliness and sadness into something more cosy with the setting of a South Korean late-night streetside food stall, or pojangmacha. Under its kimchi-red canopy and armed with a row of sauces, he is the stall operator – preparing a four-course meal for two members of the audience – in exchange for their listening ear. The stall doubles as a confessional , not for sins but the frustrating search for 'bliss point', used in food engineering to refer to that elusive perfect blend of flavours. The pacing for this work is so well done that it manages to pack what feels like three-hours worth of material into its run-time at just slightly over a third of that, while still moving unflustered in that dilative ether night owls are familiar with. Koo, in his amiable way, alternates his easy, direct narration in English with pre-recorded voiceovers in Korean, during which he cooks. There is high-key surrealism and absurdism throughout – he starts his story with finding a snail in his Costco bag which he duly takes home to ease his lonesomeness. Cue close-ups of the writhing molluscs on two portrait monitors he has set up next to the stall, which frequently displays footage of events from his point of view, including walking through airports and shutting taxi doors. And so begins his irrepressible desire to uproot, to Berlin where the pungency of kimchi haunts him, and on to Brussels where he instinctively apologises and develops a sweet tooth for Haribo gummy bears. Koo never belabours, offering only potent vignettes. He allows the dreamy videos and soundscapes to do a lot of the heavy-lifting. A composer, he also flexes his synth muscles in effective humorous interludes sung philosophically by the snail and the Haribo bear – both CGI-ed to move their lips – and the itinerant eel that lives in perpetual discomfort between fresh and salt water currents. The lighting up of the eel's head here in song is entirely analogue, delivering the all-important line that 'You can carry your roots with you/ routes are more important than roots'. Where Haribo Kimchi is brilliant is in Koo's instinctive understanding of the need for bigger perspectives, and he gives food that gravity beyond the personal – kimchi turning red as a result of mediaeval changes in global temperatures, the proliferation of fried chicken stalls after the financial crisis reminding his father of the smell of corpses during the Gwangju democratic demonstrations in 1980. Koo is also quite willing to allow the conversational lull for audiences to digest instead of the frantic pace of other one-person acts. Within this quiet familiar to the East Asian urbanite, food is repressed emotion, labour, history, curse, and quirk – and just a dash of presentation and present circumstance. When the audience member eating his food praises his sauce, Koo replies: 'I bought it from the supermarket actually.' In wielding theatre and its different tastes so easily, Koo himself comes dangerously close to bliss point. Even if he is still too proud to tackle fusion cuisines. Book It/ Haribo Kimchi

Omniscient Reader Director on Adapting Web Novel Without Fan Pressure
Blackpink's Jisoo (left) plays warrior Lee Ji-hye in the fantasy film Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy, which is directed by Kim Byung-woo. SINGAPORE – South Korean film-maker Kim Byung-woo, director of South Korean fantasy Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy, was not going to let a passionate fan base paralyse him creatively. His first concern was making a good movie rather than worry about whether followers of the source material – the popular web novel Omniscient Reader (2018 to 2020), with more than 200 million views globally – would cry foul if it failed to be a faithful adaptation. 'If I think about too many elements of the web novel, then the film wouldn't be good or meaningful. My first priority was to make this a very entertaining film for the audience,' says Kim, who also co-wrote the screenplay. He was speaking through an interpreter to The Straits Times at a press event at Marina Bay Sands on July 29. He and lead actors Ahn Hyo-seop and Lee Min-ho were in town to promote the film, which is showing in cinemas. Positive fan reactions can push a live-action movie derived from a webtoon, web novel, anime or manga to box-office success, as with South Korean fantasy film Along With The Gods: The Two Worlds (2017) and its 2018 sequel. They were adapted from a 2010 webtoon. The opposite happens when fans rall y to pour online scorn. That fate met Hollywood's 2017 take on the seminal manga Ghost In The Shell (1989 to 1991), with celebrated anime versions already existing. It also happened to Netflix's live-action adaptations Death Note (2017) and Cowboy Bebop (2021), both sourced from anime and manga. While the quality of the films was judged to be poor by most viewers, the fervent online campaign waged by fans of the source materials helped put a nail in the coffin of the idea of sequels.

'I know that there could be some concerns from fans of the original web novel when adapting a story into a screenplay, but just because we have the screen adaptation of the novel, it doesn't mean that it's going to undermine or change anything about the original work,' he adds. In keeping with the web novel's idea of a multiverse, he says t he novel and the movie can co-exist without one being considered superior to, or a replacement for, the other. 'T he audiences will be able to enjoy this fil m m ore if they see it as another version of the original web novel, as an extension of the universe created by th e a uthor,' he says. In Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy, Kim Dok-ja (Ah n) is an office worker who becomes the only reader of a fading web novel, Three Ways To Survive The Apocalypse. He is disappointed by the novel's conclusion but is chastised by the author, who tells him to write his own ending. Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy actors Ahn Hyo-seop (left) and Lee Min-ho (right) with director Kim Byung-woo at the press event at Marina Bay Sands. PHOTO: LIANHE ZAOBAO Suddenly, he and everyone else on Earth are swept into an alternate reality in which the cataclysmic events of the novel happen, where Dok-ja meets the novel's hero Yu Jung-hyeok ( Lee ). A rmed with the knowledge of the future, Dok-ja must win a series of trials – including fighting deadly creatures – to escape this new reality. This is director Kim's first attempt at a web novel adaptation, having made action thriller The Terror Live (2013) and military thriller Take Point (2018). The element that drew him to his latest project was that the novel engaged readers by frequently placing them at strategic and moral crossroads – should they copy their favourite book's story for a surefire win or pick a riskier unknown option that can save more people? 'As a reader, it got me to think about what I would do in Dok-ja's position. The novel wasn't a simple story about a dystopian end of the world. It felt very interactiv e, ' he says. From pixels to pictures: Webtoons, web novels, anime and manga take over the big screen Here are the upcoming films that have their roots in East Asian comics, animation or online novels. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba – Infinity Castle (Aug 14) Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba – Infinity Castle is the first film of a trilogy that covers the final arc of the manga.

It gained cult status in China and, on the back of its success, a prequel film, The Legend Of Hei, was released in 2019. It went on to earn over $65 million worldwide, a strong number for a Chinese animation. The fantasy is set in a present-day China where spirits in human or animal forms exist. Humans and spirits live in an uneasy balance with one another. The protagonist Xiaohei is a black cat spirit in human form who has the power to summon matter-absorbing portals. In Hei 2, the once-idealistic and naive Xiaohei has matured and learns to lead other spirit warriors.
