The release was produced by GroovyRoom, the leading producer team and the founders of At Area. HyunA participated in every part of production, from conceptualization to music video planning.
“I’ve wanted to work with GroovyRoom for about 10 years now, and I knew they could help bring my vision to life. I’ve always wanted people to look at me and think ‘she’s great with music.’ I don’t think I’ve ever had that with my songs in the past because I believed that there were two kinds of music: the one that you watch, and the one that you listen to.

Korean singer Choi Sung-bong, who sprung to fame after placing second on Korea’s Got Talent, has died by suicide, Seoul police said Wednesday. He was 33.
Choi was found dead by police at his home in the Yeoksam-dong district in southern Seoul at 9:41 a.m. Tuesday, according to South Korea wire service Yonthap, which was the first to report the news.
Choi had an underprivileged upbringing and dropped out of music school because he couldn’t afford the tuition fees. After spending years supporting himself as a day laborer, his big break came in 2011 when he landed a spot on Korea’s Got Talent, broadcast by tvN. Choi’s operatic performance of Ennio Morricone’s “Nella Fantasia” wowed the show’s judges and he advanced to the finals, eventually coming in second place by just 280 votes. The YouTube clip of his performance on the show went viral and was viewed over 21 million times,...

The high skies have often been a setting for cinematic stories, playing with the high altitude setting for laughs, thrills and even action. For his latest film “Ok! Madam”, director Lee Cheol-ha uses the same setting for a mix of all three, in a final product that doesn't quite manage to succeed at either successfully.
“Ok! Madam” is available from Echelon Studios
Married couple Mi-yeong, a local market baker, and Seok-hwan, a computer repair expert, both slog out day in, day out to make just enough of a living to get by with their daughter Na-ri. Their dream is to go on a vacation for the first time since their wedding. So when Mi-yeong wins an all-expenses-paid trip to Hawaii, the happy family gladly boards the flight to take them to their dream holiday. However, it is on the same flight that a purported North Korean defector is supposed to be flying,...

The Busan festival has experienced its share of fandom in previous editions, with everything from frenetic crowds at guest visits in Haeundae, an overflowing Biff Square in Nampodong, through to star-struck teenagers camping in the entrance to the Grand Hotel. None of these are particularly appropriate in the age of Covid and social distancing.
With that in mind, the festival has built what it calls an ‘Actors House,’ a slightly more respectful and arms-length series of encounters between on-screen stars and their public. The series consists of six, more in-depth conversations with successful, younger talent.
They will be sharing stories that have never been heard before, including their acting philosophy and their most memorable scenes, organizers say. The sessions are moderated by Una Beck, the head of Una Labo Actorology.
Highest profile participants are actress Uhm Junghwa and actor Cho Jinwoong, who have established their filmographies across the silver screen and television.
