Well, it's definitely one of the most anticipated films of the year so far, at least in Korea,
right?
It definitely is.
Lee Byung-hun made such a huge impression in the previous "G.I. Joe" film, even if he
didn't have much dialogue, so a lot of Koreans will be watching to see what he does in this
film.
Well, we're only a couple weeks away from the premiere. And what do you have for us
next?
Next, I have some previews for all of you music fans out there, starting with a musical
about an devilish deal, a spring piano concert and a genre crossing popera concert.
I have the details on these events for you right now.
The popular musical "Mommy, Don't Cry" is back with a new cast member that adds an evil
dimension to the show.
The production started out as a one-man show in 2010.
Now, there are two cast members to tell the story of a charming loser named Professor
V who's never been able to find love and now it's his only wish.
The professor makes a deal with a vampire who says he'll help him but in return, he'll
have to kill one person every time there is a full moon.
Actor Jang Hyun-duk, who plays the vampire, talked more about the new character.
"The character can seem androgynous or extremely aggressive and evil, so I wanted to focus
on showing all of these characteristics."
"Mommy, Don't Cry" will run until May 26 at the Chungmu Art Hall in Daehangno, Seoul's
theater district.
Pianist Brian Crain built a following in Korea after many of his songs, including "Butterfly
Waltz" and "A Walk in the Forest," were used to score TV commercials.
At 8 p.m. this Friday, Crain will play his beautiful piano melodies in a concert called
"Love, The Healing of Spring" at the Namu Culture and Arts Center in Seoul.
The Catholic popera trio The Priests will hold its first concert in Korea.
The trio will be singing a mix of songs from gospel, classical and pop music, including
Shubert's "Ave Maria," Michael Jackson's "Heal the World."
