– My music blog, the Korea Gig Guide, was just named the blog of the month for November by 10 Magazine, probably the best of the English-language, dead-paper publications about life in Korea. That is rather nice of them. Many thanks.

– Korea’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade invests in TV dramas and movies? Really? That seems like such a bad idea, for so many reasons. The Ministry invested in the movie BAREFOOT DREAM, and is contemplating investing in a TV drama.

– A documentary about a Korean missionary to the Sudan, titled DON’T CRY FOR ME SUDAN, has rung up over 160,000 admissions. Is that the best showing for a documentary in Korea since OLD PARTNER? Anyhow, SUDAN was produced by KBS.
