[News-Kpop Herald] 150604 ‘Ode to My Father’ screened at U.S. Congress

The South Korean box-office hit “Ode to My Father” was screened at the U.S. Congress Wednesday as part of efforts to highlight the pains of separated families and the alliance between the two countries.

Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY), a decorated Korean War veteran, and Rep. Ed Royce (R-CA), chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, hosted the special screening at the Congressional Orientation Theater. It marked the first time a South Korean film has been shown at Congress.

The movie is South Korea’s second-highest-grossing film of all time, drawing some 14.2 million viewers since its December release as it struck a chord with older generations who have witnessed how South Korea overcame the 1950-53 Korean War, poverty and other hardships to become what it is today.

Yunho’s Interview:

 

-Are you the type to quickly shed your character once the drama ends?

Although TVXQ’s tour began soon after the drama ended, I couldn’t get out of Mooseok easily. That’s because he and I had a lot in common personality-wise, and I came to respect how he always stayed true to his beliefs by acting him out. So it took me time to shed myself of him. It wasn’t like this for other dramas. Right after the drama ended. I continued speaking in Mooseok’s brusque, stiff tone.

 

 

-How do you envision yourself in your thirties? Continue reading →
