Big names, small bets: Stars take a chance at the June box office

At first glance, Korea's June box office looks like a tentpole affair. Leading the charge is Yeon Sang-ho's zombie hit "Colony," fresh off its Midnight Screenings bow at Cannes, which blew past 4 million admissions this week and has 5 million in its sights. Close behind is "Wild Sing," the dumb-fun comedy starring heartthrob Gang Dong-won, which drew more than 160,000 tickets on opening day and has held second place ever since. And the firepower keeps coming from Hollywood: Steven Spielberg's "D

'Teach You a Lesson' is ready for its Netflix debut after years of controversy

"Teach You a Lesson" had already become one of Netflix Korea's most controversial projects long before its release. Now, it's finally heading to screens. The series follows a special organization established to defend Korea's troubled education system from disruptive students, abusive parents and unethical teachers. It promises a highly cathartic blend of action and social commentary, centered on officials who intervene when conventional systems fail to protect victims. Yet the conversation surr

Korea's beloved sci-fi story is hitting the screen. Is the animation up to it?

"Pilgrims" is built on the two things Korean cinema just can't seem to pull off. On paper, that's a recipe for disaster; on screen, it gets about halfway to proving otherwise. Start with the sci-fi problem. Koreans have proven time and again they can do period epics, gangster pictures, zombie thrillers — you name it — but science and speculative fiction remains the white whale. Homegrown titles of the past few years, from the lavishly mounted "Space Sweepers" to the 28-billion-won belly-flop "Th

A YouTube horror series took over US theaters. Now it's quietly winning over Korea.

A sheet of mono-yellow wallpaper, an empty office hallway, the hum of fluorescent lights: In a certain corner of the internet, that mundane image has been shorthand for dread for years. The concept comes from the "Backrooms," a creepypasta that originated on the message board 4chan in 2019 and became a wildly viral YouTube series by American creator Kane Parsons, who began posting the episodes as a teenager. The 20-year-old has now carried the concept to the big screen. His feature debut, from i
