[K-enter] Bong Joon-ho's filmmaking showcase exhibition to open in LA

It's now time for our K-enter news with Walter Lee.

And we start with some exciting news for filmmakers out there.

That's right, the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures is opening an exhibition in Los Angeles next month that showcases director Bong Joon-ho’s creative filmmaking process.

The special exhibition which opens on March 23rd is part of the "Director's Inspiration series," which provides an in-depth exploration of the chosen director's cinematic world.

It will showcase more than 100 original items, including previously unseen archive materials, personal collections, storyboards, research documents, film posters, concept illustrations, models, props, and behind-the-scenes photographs from Bong’s filmmaking process.

While the Academy Museum has previously held retrospectives featuring the works of Korean actors such as Song Kang-ho and Youn Yuh-jung, this marks the first long-term exhibition dedicated to a Korean director’s body of work.

The exhibition runs until January 2027.

That sounds like an exciting showcase. Anyone over in LA or anyone who plans a trip before Jan. 2027, it might be something for you. Okay, from talking about Korean movie directors to talking about Korean movies.

The main trailer for the Netflix series "When Life Gives You Tangerines", starring IU and Park Bo-gum, has been released.

The Netflix series tells the adventurous lives of Ae-soon and Gwan-sik, childhood friends born and raised on Jeju Island. It follows their family stories and friendship as the years pass until they become young adults.

When Life Gives You Tangerines is set to premiere on Netflix on March 7.

Any TV series with IU is worth waiting for. Lastly let us turn to K-pop. What do you have for us?

Boy group ASTRO released the song "Twilight" on Sunday to celebrate their 9th debut anniversary and express their heartfelt gratitude to fans.

"Twilight" is a track personally produced by leader JinJin, symbolising the group’s journey through difficult and dark times, now the feeling like a rising sun. If we sadly cast our minds back to 2023 former member Moonbin passed away.

Since then, each ASTRO member has been actively pursuing individual projects. MJ showcased his talent in the musical Zorro: Actor-Musician last year. JinJin successfully held his first solo concert on February 16.

Cha Eun-woo is currently filming for the new Netflix series "The WONDERfools" and Yoon San-ha is set to hold a small-theater concert on March 21.
