I dont know which photographer took the official Red Carpet photos of Busan Int Film Festival but they are truly atrocious. who takes photos of such angles and focuses on someones neck veins.
This has been my complaint with every Korean movie and drama award show for the past 15 years. Horrible angles, horrible blinding flash lights, horrible stairs photos… At this point it is not a problem with the photographer, it’s the event designers and coordinators having absolutely no idea about photography do’s and don’ts. I would have filled a complaint 10 years ago if I had been any actor’s representative.
like they are showing women in slit dresses up the legs like they desperately need to see underwear. and the blue light???? the arms look like bones in that light. If I were the actors rep I wouldnt let them publich these 🙁 I mean, I myself would put a photo like this on my social media!
im so embarrassed, I just posed for photos with a mikrophone and hanbok, but I don´t know how to hold the mic and pretend im singing. It´s so weird. It is for hangul day workshop at the library. I think if I went to the I can see your voice show I would be kicked out first round, it is too hard and real singers mostly seem to use the head mic, so with our huge mic I look like im singing trot
I once have been watching the video of vocal coach reacting to K-pop groups and he said that if singer has hand mic, that’s when you know they are singing live, not when they have those head mics, and as a fan of K-pop group Infinite I started paying attention to their concerts, and they mostly use hand mics during concerts, even though it probably is not convenient for dance group, but that made me respect them even more, but also, idk how true that statement is
it is unfair I have to spend 2 weeks looking for availability tho. Also most streaming sites skip Estonia. I thought I would have to set up a VPN but I dont know how
ok im convinced that Bogummy and In guk discussed this and made a plan to both be in musicals that we cannot go see! these conspiring fake bros, cmon, why u plotting like this
first of all, this drama has not aged
second: princess Yeongeun literally performing her own post traumatic exposure therapy is just so badass. here we have all all these broken chaebol heirs, unable to literally get their big boy pants on without an opera choir, and here is a tiny girl WHO DOESNT EVEN SPEAK de-sentisizing herself like a pro.
kids can be better than adults…
thats why I really want to watch Day of kidnapping but alas, again, my region is totally blocked out even from legal channels. and yet, it is not blocked in Latvia like how … Hey. Do I have to build a huge blinking lighthouse for streamers to notice me?
the NY Met Opera at least has broadcasts for some of their shows, and they show these in our cinemas, why couldnt Seoul theaters do the same. It is with tickets, anyway. so convenient and a better close up look.
and I would also gladly watch contemporary dance performances or ballet
I think my soul just left my body. but I cannot say it, it is a matter that would honestly belong in DM. or can we have Anonymous Confessions section on DB. but just. no I cant

just discovered a regular customer (male, 51) watching It´s ok to not be ok in one window, while simultaneously watching New Jeans in parallel window on our library computer. hmm.
is anyone on WeVerse? I just joined. Seems like artists do lives there instead of Insta now or maybe they still use insta. i also follow Kim Seon Ho. I want to do a club even on fandoms & communities
I am… I also follow Kim Seon-Ho (currently watching Catch the Ghost so I’m getting my daily dose of long-legged dimples). But I killed the app notifications so I never know when something happens!
Initially, fun story, I started Weverse to force myself to interact with the Korean language without translation. It was tricky, but after much research, I found that Park Jimin’s Weverse and Army-facing use of Korean is super accessible to learners like me.
First problem here: He’s not remotely active enough for me to progress.
Second problem: I had to remove Weverse notifications because you can’t just follow Jimin, you get the whole of BTS which I wouldn’t mind if I didn’t receive 12 live notifications a day each day one of them cooks noodles or does his laundry… From a learner’s point of view, it’s great: So much banter and natural way of typing. But it’s a little overwhelming and I don’t have the right language level for it yet. Which brings me back to not knowing when KSH does anything on Weverse.
By the way, did you get around to watch The Childe? If you haven’t, I strongly recommend it 🙂
havent watched it yet. yeah especially if there are lives they mostly do in korean and it is good for listening skills. but for now I prefer Youtube bc you can have subtitles and learn more. but on live I have to make more effort to understand.
Me!! I used to be way more ‘active’ though in the past though, I don’t think I’ve opened the app more than a handful of times this year – purely because I’m a fan of way too many artists so I’d keep getting 29384938 notifications throughout the day and eventually turned notifs off and of course the downside of this means I’d miss lives. I’ve ended up watching more Insta lives these days, there’s a few of them that seem to be more active on Insta like NCT, handful of other SM artists, and individual BTS members.
But yeah Weverse is great for learning conversation Korean too I found! Especially since there’s a few more lives where they’re doing specific things, like playing with lego, cooking, sharing and playing music they like etc. – so the context there helps you pick up on words easier than Insta lives which seem to be more unstructured ‘chats’.
I’ve found there’s also a fair few groups that seem to do YouTube lives more too recently? Like ATEEZ and SF9 most recently, which is interesting!
Hwasa had a live on youtube, she speaks very fast though 🙁
and I just found Lee Soo Hyuk on WeVerse, it would be great if he had a live just for the voice sake I dont even care if I understand anything
Taemin doing Key Good&Great challenge. my brain is so confused. first he is a muscular beast, then he wears a skirt, now he turned into a middle schooler? Im dizzy. what´s next
this patron in the library looks like an alien in human suit from MIB and it is too creepy. oh and should I wake up this teenager who fell asleep while reading?
Omoni… Hwasa OMG isn´t she playing riskaaayy for korean audience? but, the message is clear: you have no agenda over my body and my self-image. pheef, I cannot watch this at work
I want to create a facebook group for the Korean Culture Club but I need to think of a catchy name since there is also one in Tartu University. How to name it like an idol fandom? help
How’s the other (Tartu University) one called? Or is it just Korean Culture Club?
Here are some random thoughts, they may not be good but hopefully, they can give you a baseline to think of some funky names!
I’d go down the route of using Hanguk in the name or any other Korean words that people are already familiar with, mostly because those who are interested in Korean culture will most certainly recognise those, and also because I like the sound of it. It opens the door to catchy odd names:
The Hanguk🇰🇷, Hanbok👘, Hangwa🍬 Club of Korean Culture
Don’t Touch my Kimchi Club! (sorry this one might sound incredibly racist but I don’t mean it like that. I just love the idea of using kimchi as a cultural starting point to expand into the K culture and history)
Korea Saranghae (and easy one for all those who know saranghae which is 99% of the population now, even though few know how to use it properly)
From Hanguk, with love (not that James Bond ever had anything to do with Korea, but From Russia, with love, is a recognisable title)
I’d like to mention that for simplicity, I’m keeping those grammatically incorrect. Can’t burden people with grammar at this point!
LOL I do love Don´t Touch My Kimchi, but what about You can touch my kimchi?
although, library…
I think the other one IS just Korean Culture Club ( with UT aka Universitas Tartuensis in front)
I tried letters…
Like Ta-Ke-Ra-Ko (Tallinn, Central, Library, Korean) but that sounds japanese instead. Pirates of the Koreabean?
KoRa-zone?
Wait, you’re in Tallinn? I might go to Tallinn next month. Originally, I wanted to visit and check the escape room scene, but does this mean there is also a Korean scene in Tallinn?!
My god, yes, Pirates of the Koreabean!!! This gets all my votes!
yeah there is kind of, we have our King Sejong Institute, there is the Lyra cultural society and Im trying to bring everything together in the Central Library (it is right next to freedom Square and Opera Theater so very easy to come here). we will do taekwondo and baduk on the 22nd, and in october I think we might do some cooking and talk about the fandoms and fan culture in general. also I will have the members each prepare a presentation of their favorite group. and in november I dunno yet. might do some dancing. ‘
I keep involving my teachers and any local koreans I know, today my professor said she will try to participate because she is trying to learn estonian. we might also do a language cafe
So, today I had the chance to be in the audience in the local version of I can see your voice ( I think it is the 3rd season). It was pretty interesting but naturally you cannot go pee or have a snack or anything, almost 4 hours. And the assistant director was constantly pushing the audience for more and more reaction, like im gonna burst if I do more, my hands hurt and I did feel silly at times. But it was all right, I´m used to doing all the odd stuff as an extra, a TV show is like vacation – but could have used a pee break all the same!
What is funny, is that I knew 3 people from the ones participating. A fellow textile artist, a marine, that I talk to on Instagram, and a young guy who has sang in my dads´choir. It was pretty easy for me, but the council and the players were hilarious. We don´t have the new system yet with all singers lipsyncing at once and also the players who guess are regular people not stars, the star sits with the council and sings the duet. It is so odd that the only rapper in the council is getting it right way more time than the singer, the actress or most of the guest singers. He just reads people well, maybe it is his street smarts? Today, the guest singer was Alika Milova who represented us on Eurovision this year. She has a really powerful voice and she got to sing two totally different but really cool duets.
Im not entirely sure it is not by script because some things were really suspicius.
The show is quite popular but never once have they referenced the Korean original or included any homage to it. A bit disappointing. But I guess they want to make it Our Own Show in a way.

This has been my complaint with every Korean movie and drama award show for the past 15 years.

@db-staff, I think you might wanna have a thread on something like this. Just to make Beans get to know a little bit about everyone. Answers won’t reveal confidential info anyway. I think it’ll be an interesting thread since we have known their Kdrama preferences for years, but not so much who they are as a person.

is anyone on WeVerse? I just joined. Seems like artists do lives there instead of Insta now or maybe they still use insta. i also follow Kim Seon Ho. I want to do a club even on fandoms & communities

I am… I also follow Kim Seon-Ho (currently watching Catch the Ghost so I’m getting my daily dose of long-legged dimples). But I killed the app notifications so I never know when something happens!
Initially, fun story, I started Weverse to force myself to interact with the Korean language without translation. It was tricky, but after much research, I found that Park Jimin’s Weverse and Army-facing use of Korean is super accessible to learners like me.
First problem here: He’s not remotely active enough for me to progress.
Second problem: I had to remove Weverse notifications because you can’t just follow Jimin, you get the whole of BTS which I wouldn’t mind if I didn’t receive 12 live notifications a day each day one of them cooks noodles or does his laundry… From a learner’s point of view, it’s great: So much banter and natural way of typing. But it’s a little overwhelming and I don’t have the right language level for it yet. Which brings me back to not knowing when KSH does anything on Weverse.
By the way, did you get around to watch The Childe? If you haven’t, I strongly recommend it 🙂

havent watched it yet. yeah especially if there are lives they mostly do in korean and it is good for listening skills. but for now I prefer Youtube bc you can have subtitles and learn more. but on live I have to make more effort to understand.
Cecee
September 13, 2023 at 5:09 AM
Weverse works hard to provide some level of translation. You can get it on lives too, but obviously it can take a few days.

Me!! I used to be way more ‘active’ though in the past though, I don’t think I’ve opened the app more than a handful of times this year – purely because I’m a fan of way too many artists so I’d keep getting 29384938 notifications throughout the day and eventually turned notifs off and of course the downside of this means I’d miss lives. I’ve ended up watching more Insta lives these days, there’s a few of them that seem to be more active on Insta like NCT, handful of other SM artists, and individual BTS members.
But yeah Weverse is great for learning conversation Korean too I found! Especially since there’s a few more lives where they’re doing specific things, like playing with lego, cooking, sharing and playing music they like etc. – so the context there helps you pick up on words easier than Insta lives which seem to be more unstructured ‘chats’.
I’ve found there’s also a fair few groups that seem to do YouTube lives more too recently? Like ATEEZ and SF9 most recently, which is interesting!

I want to create a facebook group for the Korean Culture Club but I need to think of a catchy name since there is also one in Tartu University. How to name it like an idol fandom? help
Cecee
September 5, 2023 at 2:03 AM
How’s the other (Tartu University) one called? Or is it just Korean Culture Club?
Here are some random thoughts, they may not be good but hopefully, they can give you a baseline to think of some funky names!
I’d go down the route of using Hanguk in the name or any other Korean words that people are already familiar with, mostly because those who are interested in Korean culture will most certainly recognise those, and also because I like the sound of it. It opens the door to catchy odd names:
The Hanguk🇰🇷, Hanbok👘, Hangwa🍬 Club of Korean Culture
Don’t Touch my Kimchi Club! (sorry this one might sound incredibly racist but I don’t mean it like that. I just love the idea of using kimchi as a cultural starting point to expand into the K culture and history)
Korea Saranghae (and easy one for all those who know saranghae which is 99% of the population now, even though few know how to use it properly)
From Hanguk, with love (not that James Bond ever had anything to do with Korea, but From Russia, with love, is a recognisable title)
I’d like to mention that for simplicity, I’m keeping those grammatically incorrect. Can’t burden people with grammar at this point!
redfox
September 5, 2023 at 3:57 AM
LOL I do love Don´t Touch My Kimchi, but what about You can touch my kimchi?
although, library…
I think the other one IS just Korean Culture Club ( with UT aka Universitas Tartuensis in front)
I tried letters…
Like Ta-Ke-Ra-Ko (Tallinn, Central, Library, Korean) but that sounds japanese instead. Pirates of the Koreabean?
KoRa-zone?

September 5, 2023 at 9:53 AM
Wait, you’re in Tallinn? I might go to Tallinn next month. Originally, I wanted to visit and check the escape room scene, but does this mean there is also a Korean scene in Tallinn?!

yeah there is kind of, we have our King Sejong Institute, there is the Lyra cultural society and Im trying to bring everything together in the Central Library (it is right next to freedom Square and Opera Theater so very easy to come here). we will do taekwondo and baduk on the 22nd, and in october I think we might do some cooking and talk about the fandoms and fan culture in general. also I will have the members each prepare a presentation of their favorite group. and in november I dunno yet. might do some dancing. ‘
I keep involving my teachers and any local koreans I know, today my professor said she will try to participate because she is trying to learn estonian. we might also do a language cafe

So, today I had the chance to be in the audience in the local version of I can see your voice ( I think it is the 3rd season). It was pretty interesting but naturally you cannot go pee or have a snack or anything, almost 4 hours. And the assistant director was constantly pushing the audience for more and more reaction, like im gonna burst if I do more, my hands hurt and I did feel silly at times. But it was all right, I´m used to doing all the odd stuff as an extra, a TV show is like vacation – but could have used a pee break all the same!
What is funny, is that I knew 3 people from the ones participating. A fellow textile artist, a marine, that I talk to on Instagram, and a young guy who has sang in my dads´choir. It was pretty easy for me, but the council and the players were hilarious. We don´t have the new system yet with all singers lipsyncing at once and also the players who guess are regular people not stars, the star sits with the council and sings the duet. It is so odd that the only rapper in the council is getting it right way more time than the singer, the actress or most of the guest singers. He just reads people well, maybe it is his street smarts? Today, the guest singer was Alika Milova who represented us on Eurovision this year. She has a really powerful voice and she got to sing two totally different but really cool duets.
Im not entirely sure it is not by script because some things were really suspicius.
The show is quite popular but never once have they referenced the Korean original or included any homage to it. A bit disappointing. But I guess they want to make it Our Own Show in a way.
