And in non-Snowpiercer things:
- Choe Sang-hun takes a fun look at K-pop hagwon in the New York Times. As long as kids treat the schools like a hobby — like taekwondo, say — they seem fine to me.
- Korea’s Bodhisattva in Pensive Pose (National Treasure No. 83) is heading to the Metropolitan Museum in New York after all. The new head of the Cultural Heritage Administration had vetoed a decision to include it in the exhibition, and the Met was kind of threatening to cancel the exhibition without it (Korea Joongang Daily).
- These tourism trains look like they could be fun, traveling into Korea’s mountains (Korea Joongang Daily).
- A preview of Kim Sung-soo’s new film, The Flu (Korea Joongang Daily again). It comes out Wednesday.
