[K-Enter] Hong Sang-Soo's new film enters the Berlin Film Festival

Time for our daily dose of K-entertainment with Walter Lee.

Today we have a segment full of K-contents. Let's start with movie news.

Yes, plenty of news from film festivals and press conferences today. Let's start with Hong Sang-soo.

Director Hong Sang-soo's film "What does that nature say to you?" has been invited to the 75th Berlin Film Festival, which will take place in Germany's capital next month.

The Berlin Film Festival's executive committee announced 19 films invited to the competition section at a press conference on Tuesday (local time).

The film tells the story of Dong-hwa, a poet in his 30s, who unexpectedly visits the home of his lover, Jun-hee.

In previous years, Hong has received five awards at the Berlin Film Festival, beginning with "On the Beach at Night Alone" in 2017, when actress and his partner Kim Min-hee won the "Silver Bear for Best Actress", and most recently "The Novelist's Film" in 2022 won the "Silver Bear Grand Jury Prize".

Meanwhile, Kim and Hong are reportedly expecting a child this spring.

That's why there are speculations on whether Hong's partner Kim Min-hee will join Hong at the Berlin International Film Festival or not.

Let's move on to another movie, one that you introduced us to before?

The crime thriller "Nocturnal" or "Broken" in Korean, starring Ha Jung-woo and Kim Nam-gil, has been sold to 158 countries for screening.

"Nocturnal" has been pre-sold to countries, including Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, France, and Spain, signalling it's popularity with audiences worldwide.

It has also been invited to the non-competitive official section of the Glasgow Film Festival, one of the UK's leading film festivals.

The Glasgow Film Festival, which will run from February 26 to March 9, has previously invited Korean films such as "Sleep", "The Man Standing Next", and "Voice of Silence". This year, "Nocturnal" is the only Korean film selected.

"Nocturnal" is scheduled for release on February 5.

Great to see Korean movies gain more and more popularity around the world.

And from the big screens to the smaller screen, what's our final story Walter?

The production press conference for the Netflix drama "The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call" was held on Tuesday, and was attended by director Lee Do-yoon and cast members Ju Ji-hoon, Choo Young-woo, and Ha Young.

Ju, who plays the protagonist Baek Kang-hyuk, an expert trauma doctor who takes on the challenge of reviving a dysfunctional trauma team.

When talking about working on the drama, Ju said, "I worked hard to ensure the fantasy-like story didn't feel overly unrealistic." Adding "During the preparation process, I spent hours in intense discussions with the director and production team, sometimes up to seven hours per session."

"The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call" will be released worldwide on Netflix on January 24.
