If You Haven't Seen This Film Yet, What Are You Doing?
I just got back to Korea from 10 days in the US and on that loooooong flight I was lucky enough to watch Your Name again. I literally can never get sick of this movie. Here's the trailer if you haven't seen it yet: I know I'm probably preaching to the choir here on Vingle, but seriously, if you havent seen this film DO IT NOW. The animation is stunning, the story is brilliant, and the music is amazing. Here's the main song that's been on repeat since I watched the movie when it first came out: Seriously, its GORGEOUS. Who else is still in love with this film?
'Train to Busan' as Critique of Korean Society
I still haven't been able to see Train to Busan for myself, but I found this article on NPR to be really interesting! It doesn't ruin any plot points (other than the fact that there is a zombie apocalypse which I'm pretty sure we could gather from the trailer...) According to the article: Without giving too much of the story away, the film blames corporate callousness for the death toll. The government covers up the truth — or is largely absent. And the crew? Rather than rescue passengers, it follows the wishes of a businessman. Sewol Ferry Reference: These themes are particularly resonant in South Korea, which in 2014 faced national tragedy after 300 people, mostly teenagers, died when a ferry overturned in the sea. Investigators found the ferry's corporate owners overloaded it to save money. And the captain and crew got into lifeboats without rescuing passengers. News media, toeing the government line, originally reported that everyone survived, blamed rescuers for not working hard enough (when in reality the government refused to let them go into the water and rescue the children), etc. The Korean president's whereabouts on that day are still unexplained. Then the MERS Outbreak: Last year, as Middle East respiratory syndrome, or MERS, spread in South Korea, the government wouldn't share key information about where patients were being treated, where it started, and how officials would contain the outbreak. The government refused to communicate with the public, so the Seoul mayor had to go against the president and form his OWN plan to fix the problem. As a result, he's now in the running for next president (since Koreans have lost all respect or trust in the current pres) You can read the full piece by NPR right HERE. Has anyone seen this yet?!

Kendall Jenner Mocks Kylie Jenner's Stupidity On Social Media
LOL. Kendall and Kylie Jenner are arguably the most popular teenagers in the world. And with that honor comes a very strong sister-sister bond to combat the mountains of haters while also keeping up with millions of fans. But just like everyone else, big sister Kendall loves to mock little sister Kylie...except the only difference is Kendall is mocking Kylie publicly to her 55.6M followers on Instagram. The picture is shown above. Fans found the picture so amusing that it was liked 1.4M times with over 104,000 comments. WOW! Kylie has yet to make any comments back on the photo but I'm sure she responded with the eye roll emoji since her big sister embarrassed her. Everyone needs to have some sisterly love in their life sometimes...even if it's annoying. Kendall's follow up post?

Apparently, Harrison Ford was in a car accident in the 1960s that caused him to take some impact to the face. Now he has secret powers and a range of extremely detailed emotions.
Leonardo DiCaprio Finally Won An Oscar!
It seems that, after nearly 30 years in the business, Leonardo finally nabbed himself an Oscar for Best Actor in 'The Revenant'! (Unless you get all of your pop culture info from memes like this one, in which case, he lost it to Lionel Messi.) Congratulations, Leo!!!!

The 3 Countries Where Adele Isn't No.1
To tell you they're sorry for breaking your heart, Adele. WHAT!? Adele didn't achieve world domination. She may be the biggest star in ALMOST every country in the world however three countries seem to disagree. They're too preoccupied with their own music tastes and Adele just isn't one of them. In 29 international markets, Adele managed to rank No.1 in 26 of them which is basically unheard of. She's the No.1 artist in 110 countries on iTunes worldwide except for three. '3' really isn't a magic number for this pop star. Despite her record breaking album '25' : 3 million copies of the album sold in the first week of American sales alone, being the biggest-selling album released since 2011, the most sold album yearly since 2004, and broke records in how quickly her European and North American tours sold out, Adele pretty much wins...99% of the time. Thanks to Fusion.com, data was collected to show that these countries have different chart toppers and their fans wouldn't want it any other way. These countries have another preference... South Korea Why they don't prefer Adele? KPOP! Its the Korean Pop sensation that seems to dominate the music tastes of the country. The singers are hot. The music makes you want to start dancing. The music videos are strangely mesmerizing. And you've never had a party without wanting to scream at the top of your lungs to the clever lyrics that most Americans don't understand (aka Gangnam Style anyone?). Also, one must take into consideration that Koreans chart differently than most other Western countries. They have : domestic album sales, international sales, and a synthesized chart. Fusion.com found that Adele may be winning over their international chart however her streaming and album sales in South Korea are no comparison to the outstanding domestic sales of KPOP within the country. Here are Korean's top albums: - "The Most Beautiful Life," Pt 2 by the Bangtan Boys - "MATRIX" by B.A.P. - "Dear Santa - X Mas Special" by Girls Generation TTS Japan Why they don't prefer Adele? Japanese only track physical sold copies and as of now, Adele has only sold enough to make her the 7th highest album as of Dec. 7, 2015. Japanese also love KPOP but they're not as influential. It's also important to take note that digital downloads in the Japan music market outsell albums by 400% according to Fusion's research. Here are the following albums that have outsold Adele : - "For You" by Infinite - "Chandelier" by Black Number - "Sight of Blue" by Motohiro Hata Greece Why they don't prefer Adele? Blame it on the way they chart. They tracked how many '25' albums were shipped into the country instead of how many albums were sold total. Talk about bizarre. Even with Greece's adoration for American and British music, Adele only hit the No. 2 spot on Greek charts. They may track domestic and foreign music sales however their marks are harshly skewed. Sorry, Adele. The data didn't help you. Here are the albums that topped Adele: - "Ap' To Vorra Mehri to Noto" by Vasilis Karras - "M' Agapouses Ki Anthize" by Eleanora Zouganeli - "Nikos Vertis" by Nikos Vertis So really, other than MAYBE South Korea, Adele has won over everyone except for KPOP fans. There's always next time, Adele.
Professor Snape Forever.
The more and more celebrities come out with different memories they had with Alan Rickman, the more I realize how this actor that was mostly known for his dramatic acting was actually an incredibly funny person. Who else is going on a Rickman movie binge this weekend?

The Zombie Apocalypse is Starting in...Korea?!
I don't know how I got there, but I watched World War Z last night. I obviously knew there would be zombies...but no one told me the zombie apocalypse STARTED IN SOUTH KOREA! and not like cute Korean zombies like in Twice's OOH AHH video... REAL FLESH EATING TOTALLY INSANE HORRIBLY SCARY ZOMBIES. That's not how it happened in the book it was based on, but for some reason the director decided South Korea (specifically a military base just an hour south of Seoul) to be the first place that zombies seemed to be found... and what drives me crazy is that NO ONE EXPLAINED HOW IT HAPPENED. Not really a spoiler, but at the end of the movie you still don't know what caused it... So is Korea where the zombie apocalypse will start? Where was Jackson and why didn't he stop this!?
