Quite an entertaining thread with all the videos. I admit I had to look up what KPop is, but I have long been a fan of Korean movies among many others. The Good, The Bad, The Weird has to be my favorite but I want to be The Weird, he had the most fun. :)

So silly of me! (I believe you’ve told me this before..;)) but I still couldn’t make the distinction. . . I forget what it’s called in “learning behavior?” —but I’m sure you knows! Don’t they ‘look,’ like they could be in the same group, though??? ;D

Sounds like a good one (the movie!): have you seen “Old Boy?” :^) id imagine you have...

I need to check that movie out. I like Korean films. Have you seen any of Bong Joon Ho's movies? Parasite is pretty good. And Memories of Murder was great. The ending to Memories of Murder is one of my favorites. Another Korean film I love is Shutter. The final shot of Shutter gave me goosebumps. I haven't seen Old Boy, but I know it's famous for its ending. It seems Koreans know how to end their movies.

I will have to check those out, some of the best films are foreign ones but the reading the subtitles. LOL. Korean is one of the languages I do not speak. Some other Korean favorites for me are Tale of Two Sister which is a fine ghost movie, I Saw The Devil which is a crime and suspense movie and TaeGukGi a Korean War story told from the South Korean side. The Good, The Bad, The Weird as the title would indicate is influenced by the Clint Eastwood movie The Good, The Bad, The Ugly and like it is a search for treasure and has a fair amount of humor in it.

I watched Tale of Two Sisters, and I remember finding it confusing. I'm not sure if I finished it actually. I remember hearing talk about an American remake. There may already be one actually. I know there's an American remake of Shutter. I haven't seen it, but I'm sure it's not as good as the original. The Host is a good monster movie by Bong Joon Ho you might like. I saw a really weird K-horror movie called Hansel and Gretel. It's about this guy who gets trapped by these two kids living in a house in the woods. The kids are magic, and they made it where everyday is Christmas. I definitely recommend Parasite. It's the first foreign language film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. And it's the first Korean film to win the Palme D'or Award at the Cannes Film Festival. I think the less you know about the movie going in the better. Snowpiercer is another good movie by Bong Joon Ho. There's a movie called Colossal you might find interesting. Colossal isn't technically a Korean film, but it deals heavily with a monster attacking Korea. I think I've mentioned every Korean film I've seen. If I think of any others, I'll bring it up.

That’s great to see her singing on her own now! It’s a great little song & video... She’s got the ability to play very delicate notes, as id heard on jeju - & I think that , her personal qualities are quite charming & charismatic, like in an Audrey Hepburn sort of way (like that kind of ‘Star!’). And while I haven’t seen her act in many things: like say, some of the cinematic examples you’ve cited, on game shows she’s great. As her personality shines through (which is some kind of a “performance,” in & of itself). She was on “Little Old Boy,” where the moms r w/their son’s & they’re all blown away by her charm. : ) She seems funny, too- which is good!
