Tom Cruise' visit Korea with ‘Mission Impossible’
2011-12-02 21:12
When Hollywood star Tom Cruise came to Korea, He got a nickname “Mr. Nice Tom” by the local media for the friendly manners.
He says, “I just want to say I love coming here and I love my nickname -- thank you,”
Cruise, 49, arrived in Seoul on Thursday as a part of his world promotional tour of the upcoming Mission Impossible film.
n the upcoming film, officially titled “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol,” Cruise stars as an Impossible Mission Force agent who goes rogue after being framed for a terrorist bombing in Moscow. The movie features the world’s tallest building -- Dubai’s 828-meter Burj Khalifa -- and Cruise showcases some epic, death-defying stunts atop the skyscraper.
I really look forward to seeing this upcoming movie, 15th December. He looks so energetic,powerful although he is forty-nine years old. I also expect thrilling actions, death-defying.

Summary
above these two posters are very different. First post is for Korean and the other is for Americans. I have ever heard that design of poster is varying form each country, considering that they have different culture. I don't know exactly why these are different but poster in Korea is much thrilling than U.S. Maybe Koreans enjoy dizzying.
This scene makes audiences feel interesting. This building in Dubai is the highest in the world. This film does't use CG at all. For me, this is a spine-chilling sight, imagining this action.
National Gugak Center to perform in Paris, Berlin
2011-12-04 19:54
The National Gugak Center will perform Korea’s celebrated traditional music “Yeongsanhoesang” in Berlin and Paris on Wednesday. I've been heard that people in Paris are very favorable in other countries culture.
The featured piece is believed to have been written as a Buddhist piece during Korea’s Goryeo period (918-1392), or even before. The term “Yeongsan” in the title refers to the mountain in India where Buddha used to hold meetings with his followers.
"The music deals with missing Buddha and the gatherings he held at Yeongsan,” the institution explained.
The 50-minute piece was initially written as a vocal piece with spiritual lyrics, but the people of Joseon, who embraced Confucianism while rejecting Buddhism, removed the lyrics and created instrumental variations instead.
I am sure It sounds sad if I listened. Especially, our traditional music features our own spirit "Han"(한). "Han" is somewhat different to just sadness. Han is not just bursting tears. It is so abstract that I can't explain simply.
Meanwhile, Korean cultural centers in France and Germany have been working together to introduce the traditional side of Korean culture in Europe, and are planning a gugak session by the National Gugak Center at TFF Rudolstadt ― Germany’s biggest folk, roots and world music festival ― in July.

I am proud of that Korean' traditional music becomes popular in foreign countries. It seems that they appreciate our music. Meanwhile, I also feel ashamed of myself that I am not interested in my traditional culture. The young generation should know the old things then, they can develop our culture.

This occasion can be one of the evidence that 'Korean wave' is sweeping over the world. I'm very proud of Korean. Many famous singers are helping for foreigners to know Korean culture. This effect spreads to many areas. In fact, export to France are increasing thanks to Korean wave. It contributes to Korean image to favor, goodness and premium. It is helpful to increase Korea's trade environment.
