#SHOWBIZ: Lee Byung-hun's son asked why he was 'so mean' in 'Squid Game'
He recently said on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon that while he has impressed audiences worldwide, his 10-year-old son Joon-hoo was less than pleased with the role.
Byung-hun told Fallon: "My son heard about the show from his friends in school, and one day, he was so sad and asked me, 'Why are you so mean?'"
When Byung-hun asked what he meant, Joon-hoo said: "You killed a lot of people."
He added that his son was also close to actor-singer T.O.P., who played Thanos in Squid Game season two, and asked his father why he hit the latter "so bad".
Byung-hun, 55, said that he had to explain that he was only acting, which his son does not fully understand yet.
When Joon-hoo was only three, Byung-hun had shown him a clip from one of the G.I. Joe movies where he played Storm Shadow, and was asked where his weapon was and why he wouldn't bring it back from the US.
"I said, 'If I see some strong enemy, I'm gonna bring it back," Byung-hun recalled.
Season two of Squid Game ended in a cliffhanger where Front Man kills one of the protagonist Seong Gi-hun's (Lee Jung-jae) best friends.
Byung-hun teased that the climax of the show would be in season three.

'Squid Game,' Park Bo-gum and K-pop: Korea continues to attract tourists with K-content
SEOUL: Clad in the iconic green tracksuit from 'Squid Game,' Ria dashes through South Korean landmarks, pursued by guards in pink jumpsuits. But this isn't a teaser for a new season of the global Netflix sensation — it's a tourism promotion video that has racked up more than 11 million views since its release on July 3. In another campaign leveraging the popularity of 'All of Us Are Dead,' two high school students and Jason, a friend turning into a zombie, take viewers through major tourist attractions, blending the show's zombie survival theme with explorations of scenic spots. The videos are part of a broader strategy that taps into the global appeal of Korean pop culture to attract international visitors. Park Bo-gum (pic), who recently starred in "When Life Gives You Tangerines," appears in three separate tourism videos, including a music video for 'On My Way.' Performed by Park, 'On My Way' is the result of a collaboration between the Korea Tourism Organization, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and the K-pop industry. The track was composed by Kenzie, Andrew Choi, No2zcat, JSONG (Oceancave) and Kim Yoohyun. Kenzie, who also wrote the lyrics, is a prolific K-pop producer behind dozens of hits, while Andrew Choi provided vocals as Jinwoo, a member of the fictional idol group Saja Boys in Netflix's "KPop Demon Hunters." Park said that one of his favourite places is the area surrounding Gwanghwamun and Gyeongbokgung. 'But I hope you'll also explore regions outside of Seoul. I'd especially recommend Busan, where I recently filmed 'Good Boy,' he added. He also recommended Seoul's public bike-sharing service, Seoul Bike, officially known as Ddareungi. 'I love riding a Ddareungi along the Han River,' the actor said. 'If you haven't tried it yet, I'd really like to introduce you to it.' This year's campaign also includes two videos promoting Korea's regional charm — one spotlighting the Gyeongsang region and another focused on the Jeolla provinces. The video on Gyeongsang captures the energy and cultural richness of the North and South Gyeongsang provinces through a modern reinterpretation of the traditional sword dance, "geommu." Meanwhile, the video on Jeolla provinces showcases the region's serene natural beauty through "seungmu," a meditative and graceful dance. Both videos are set to a fusion of traditional and modern music. Through these new videos, the campaign aims to showcase the regions' cultural and scenic appeal while highlighting areas still healing from hardship, according to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. These two regions were the sites of tragic incidents last year: wildfires that lasted for 10 days in South Gyeongsang Province in March and a plane crash in Muan-gun, South Jeolla Province, in December that killed all but two on board. First launched in 2015, South Korea's tourism promotional videos, featuring top celebrities such as BTS, Lee Jung-jae and NewJeans, have drawn increasing global attention, particularly following the breakout success of the "Feel the Rhythm of Korea" series in 2020. The series has since become a cultural phenomenon, with its videos collectively amassing over 240 million views across multiple platforms. BTS also appeared on several 'Feel the Rhythm of Korea' videos in 2022, which reached over 230 million views on YouTube less than three weeks after their release. Last year, South Korea welcomed approximately 16.37 million overseas visitors, a 48.4 per cent increase from the previous year and reaching 94 per cent of the pre‑Covid‑19 peak of around 17.5 million in 2019, according to the KTO. The country aims to attract 18.5 million overseas visitors this year, up 13 per cent from 2024. By 2027, Korea hopes to welcome 30 million international visitors annually by expanding cultural exports and enhancing tourism infrastructure across the country. - The Korea Herald/ANN

'Fantastic Four: First Steps' review: Fresh, fun, and free from the MCU's shadow
Cast: Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn as the titular team, alongside Julia Garner, Sarah Niles, Mark Gatiss, Natasha Lyonne, Paul Walter Hauser, and Ralph Ineson. Just as the original Fantastic Four comic book heralded the new Silver Age of Marvel Comics back in 1961, Fantastic Four: First Steps brings forth a new era, or rather, phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). How new is it? So new that it's not even set on the actual designated Earth that the MCU is supposedly set on (Earth-199999, in case you were wondering), but on a completely different world altogether - Earth-828. What this immediately means is that this movie is completely standalone and is completely unconnected to the previous MCU movies, resulting in arguably the freshest and most 'free' that a Marvel Studios movie has felt in ages. We are dropped into Earth-828 four years after a space mission went wrong, exposing the team to cosmic rays and giving them superpowers, which led to them becoming the 'Fantastic Four'. At this time, the team is already well-established as the saviours of the world, protecting the people from threats that range from alien invaders to subterraneanal dwellers. The new Squid Game uniforms were out of this world. Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal) is Mr Fantastic, the super genius with stretchy powers. His wife, Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby) is the Invisible Woman, with the power to bend light in order to turn herself and others invisible, or create force fields. Her brother, Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn) is the Human Torch, a literally flaming hot flying force of nature, and rounding up the team is Ben Grimm (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) aka The Thing, who is a walking, talking, super strong rock man. The film begins with a positive pregnancy test, as Reed and Sue prepare to welcome a new addition to the family. But the happy news is disrupted by a cosmic threat, as the Silver Surfer (Julie Garner) flies in on her shimmering surfboard to announce that the planet is doom to become a planetary snack for the cosmic entity Galactus (Ralph Ineson). Boldly proclaiming to the planet that 'we will save you', the FF blast off to meet this Galactus, but is confronted with an impossible decision that could either tear the family apart, or cause the destruction of the entire world. Looks like someone forgot to put new batteries in the Human Torch. This really is a fun, fresh new start for the MCU's latest phase, one that revels in building an entire new world for one of Marvel's most iconic superteams. And what a beautifully colourful world it is. Director Matt Shakman gives Earth-828 a retro 1960s feel that is a welcome change after the gloom and doom of Earth-199999 in the last few MCU movies. Michael Giacchino's snappy, catchy score also captures the breeziness of the world. As a result, we are a lot more invested in this world when Shakman contrasts its with the seriousness of the Silver Surfer (Garner, er, shines despite being covered in CGI silver paint the entire time), and the industrial mechanism of Galactus' ship. First Steps also benefits from a stellar cast that really brings out the best in Marvel's First Family. Pedro Pascal may be THE go-to man for major pop culture franchises these days, but he is exactly what the film needs moustache and all - a well-known name who is comfortable enough to play a fatherly figure and deliver performance that stands out enough for you to forget that it is indeed Pedro Pascal. Not even Reed Richards can calculate the reason why someone thought it would be cool to call the last movie 'Fant4tic Four'. Kirby is the real MVP of the show though. Her Sue Storm is a powerhouse of a superwoman, from having the most useful power, to the way she carries not just herself, but the entire team in moments of great stress. (Not to mention she also literally carries the fifth member of the family in her belly.) Moss-Bachrach also turns in a, er, rock solid performance as Ben Grimm, despite being a hulking CGI rock man the entire time; while Quinn brings the heat as the Human Torch, toning down the arrogant cockiness that the character is usually known for and replacing it with a more assured self-confident attitude instead. Sue Storm's force fields come in handy when she has to cross the road during rush hour. Like their Distinguished Competitors' Superman , First Steps revels in being completely unshackled from the core MCU, instead allowing Marvel's First Family to shine in their own right. That means you can go watch it with no prior knowledge of the previous MCU movies, nor any of the increasingly clunky lore that has been accumulating over the last 17 years of the MCU. (This won't last, of course, as it has already been teased that the FF will be appearing in next year's Avengers: Doomsday ). The result is arguably the best MCU movie in years, one that takes some tentative first steps towards making people care about the MCU again.

Netflix shares drop as revenue forecast leaves investors unimpressed
FILE PHOTO: A man stands next to a logo of Netflix during an event in Mumbai, India, February 29, 2024. REUTERS/Francis Mascarenhas/File Photo (Reuters) -Netflix shares declined more than 5% in early trading on Friday, as investors were disappointed by the streaming giant's revenue forecast raise being driven by a weaker dollar instead of strong customer demand. The stock has nearly doubled in value in the last 12 months, pushing Netflix's market value above $540 billion, more than the combined worth of Disney, Comcast, and Warner Bros. Discovery. The streaming platform on Thursday raised its 2025 revenue outlook and expects to be in the range of $44.8 billion to $45.2 billion, broadly helped by a weaker dollar, compared to its previous forecast range of $43.5 billion to $44.5 billion. "Better-than-expected quarterly results and upgraded full-year revenue and cash flow guidance weren't enough to keep investors happy," said Dan Coatsworth, investment analyst at AJ Bell. Investors were disappointed because the improved revenue outlook was driven by foreign exchange factors rather than stronger customer demand, Coatsworth said. Disappointment over the forecast overshadowed a quarterly profit beat that was fueled by the success of the final season of 'Squid Game'. Netflix shares, which have gained about 43% so far this year, currently trade at 43.8 times the estimates of its earnings for the next 12 months, compared with Disney's 19.57 and Comcast's 7.71."The muted response to Netflix's share price... may be down to its lofty valuation," said Kathleen Brooks, research director at XTB. With subscriber growth slowing after the pandemic-era surge, Netflix has shifted its focus to ramping up advertising revenue to reshape its business model. The company is expanding its ad-supported tiers, implementing targeted ad placements, and working on live sports events to attract advertisers. "As Netflix ramps up its advertising revenues combined with underlying strength in the core business, we see a strong runway to drive higher monetization of its engagement," analysts at MoffettNathanson said. At least 16 analysts raised their price targets on the stock following results, bringing the median target to $1,365, as per data complied by LSEG.
