[Graphic News] ‘Parasite' tops NYT's 100 best movies of 21st century

Korean director Bong Joon-ho's 2019 film 'Parasite' has been named the best movie of the 21st century by The New York Times. The top 100 list was compiled based on votes from 500 directors, actors and film fans. The Times praised 'Parasite' as 'delightful yet twisted, unsettling and shocking,' noting that it 'tells the story of the haves and have-nots and offers a fierce critique of neo-liberalism.' Two other Korean films also made the list: 'Oldboy' (2005) by Park Chan-wook ranked 43rd, while Bong's earlier film 'Memories of Murder' (2005) placed 99th. Korean Canadian director Celine Song's 2023 film 'Past Lives' was also included at No. 86. don@

[팟캐스트] (708) 감독이 밝힌 전 세계 사로잡은 '케이팝 데몬 헌터스' 제작 배경

진행자: 박준희, Chelsea Proctor 'K-pop Demon Hunters' cast and directors break down Netflix hit's worldbuilding 기사 요약: 한국계 캐나다인으로 '케이팝 데몬 헌터스'를 연출한 매기 강 감독은 한국 문화를 주제로 한 애니메이션 영화가 나오면 정말 멋질 것 같다는 생각을 늘 해왔다고 말했다. [1] The creative team behind Netflix's record-breaking animated hit "K-pop Demon Hunters" pulled back the curtain on their demon-slaying spectacle in a new behind-the-scenes video released Friday. * creative team: 창작팀 * record-breaking: 기록을 깨는 * pull back the curtain: 감춰져 있거나 알지 못하는 정보를 공개하다 * spectacle: 장관, 구경거리 [2] "I've always wanted to make an animated movie set in Korea that really showcased our culture and our mythology," said Kang, noting how demons provided the visual spectacle while K-pop became "the last ingredient in the concept." When Appelhans first heard the pitch, his reaction was instant: "Please let me make this movie with you because I love all those things." * showcase: 보여주다 * mythology: 신화 * ingredient: 구성 요소; 재료 * instant: 즉각적인 [3] Hong described her character Mira as "a skeptic, rebellious, sarcastic," while Yoo highlighted "maknae" — the youngest member of the group — Zoey's "professional obligation to be the cutest and the most energetic." * skeptic: 의심 많은 사람 * rebellious: 반항적인 * sarcastic: 빈정대는 * obligation: 의무 [4] The film's attention to cultural detail shines through its depiction of bustling Seoul's Gangnam streets, authentic Korean comfort food and traditional mythology woven throughout the narrative. The soundtrack includes tracks by K-pop superstar Twice, a collaboration Kang called "really awesome" for "legitimiz(ing) the film in the K-pop space." * bustling: 북적거리는 * authentic: 진품인 * narrative: (특히 소설 속 사건들에 대한) 기술, 묘사 * collaboration: 협력 junheee@

Seventeen announces world tour

Seventeen will launch an international tour in September, its agency Pledis Entertainment announced Monday. The team will kick off the 'New_' tour on Sept. 13-14 in Incheon. The two shows will also be livestreamed globally. More stops and dates are yet to be announced, but the set list for the upcoming concerts will include songs from the group's fifth full album 'Happy Burstday,' which was released in May in time for the band's 10th debut anniversary. The 16-track album entered the Billboard 200 at No. 2, and the main track 'Thunder' swept all major music charts at home. The LP sold over 2.5 million copies in its first week, setting the record for a K-pop album released this year. Seventeen's previous tour 'Right Here' ranked No. 3, the highest spot for a K-pop artist, on Billboard's midyear Top Tours chart, scoring $120.9 million. Currently, members Wonwoo and Jeonghan are completing their mandatory military service; Woozi and Hoshi will enlist in September and will not participate in the tour.
