'No Other Choice' surpasses 2 million viewers on day 13 ... The power of Park Chanwook

 

https://m.entertain.naver.com/home/article/109/0005406018

Movie 'No Other Choice' surpassed 2 million viewers on October 6, just 13 days after its release, and unveiled its 4th official poster.

Previously, the movie hit 1 million viewers in just 4 days after its release and easily exceeded its break-even point of about 1.3 million. By hitting 2 million viewers on the 13th day, the movie has now surpassed the final score of 'Decision to Leave' (1.9 million viewers). This achievement further proves Park Chanwook's power.

'No Other Choice' tells the story of Mansu (played by Lee Byunghun), an office worker who once thought he had achieved everything in life, only to be suddenly fired. As he fights to protect his wife, two children, and the house he worked so hard to purchase, he embarks on a desperate personal battle toward re-employment.

-Hul, that's surprising.

-Oh... That's lower than I thought.

-Oh, it passed 2 million viewers. I was a bit worried since the reactions were so mixed, but I actually enjoyed it. It seems to be Park Chanwook's most mainstream movie so far.

-I actually enjoyed watching it.

-It was fun. I'm gonna watch it once again on the holidays.

-It was good. It was my first time watching Park Chanwook's movie in theaters and it seems pretty mainstream.

-Whoa... I'm surprised the number is that low. I thought it'd be higher.

-I was worried because the reviews weren't great, but I actually enjoyed it.

-Definitely the most friendly and mainstream one among Park Chanwook's other movies.

-It was really good. I didn't have high expectations at first.

-When it started to get boring, it got really fun.

-The movie was good. It was better than I expected. It gave me a lot to think about. Personally, I think Son Yejin's acting was amazing. Her role wasn't as explosive as others, but for some reason, she left the strongest impression on me.

-Hul... 'Decision to Leave' was the best movie I have ever seen in my life and only 1.9 million viewers..?ㅠㅠ

-Isn't this Park Chanwook's most mainstream movie ever?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Lee Byunghun looks so old... Why is that the only thing I could notice throughout the movie?ㅡㅡ

Nepal shocked by the tears of 2-year-old 'Living Goddess' Kumari

 

https://n.news.naver.com/mnews/article/449/0000322708?sid=001

Anchor: 

In Nepal, there is a Living Goddess called the Kumari. A girl, usually aged between 2 to 4 years old, is chosen and worshipped as a Goddess. Recently, the tears shed by the newly chosen Kumari have caused an uproar in Nepal. Reporter Lee Hyunyong reports.

Reporter: 

A little girl steps out onto the street, held in her father's arms. She is seen wearing heavy makeup and a red dress, receiving congratulations from the crowd.

In Nepal, girls between the age of 2 and 4 are chosen as 'Kumari' and worshipped as living Goddesses.

This time, a 32-month-old Aryatara Shakya was chosen as the new Kumari.

This practice has repeatedly drawn criticism from all over the world for violating child rights as the girl is only allowed to go outside a few times a year and must live isolated from her parents.

Now, a new controversy has erupted after the young Kumari was seen crying. Some claims that the Kumari's tears signify upcoming disaster or disease, with others even blaming recent floods and landslides on her tears.

theqoo

-She's only 32 months old. She can't see her parents and go outside. Of course she'd cry. Wouldn't it be weirder if she didn't cry?

-Was Nepal always this backward???? That's surprising...

-That's child abuse.

-She's still at the age where she constantly wants to be hug by her mom... She's 32 months old. Which means that she was born in 2023, you crazy people... My kid is about the same age and cried 5 times just today... Does that mean there's going to be 5 disasters??

-My daughter is also 32 months old. You're separating such a young child from her parents for this nonsense?? Even my daughter cries if we're apart just for a few hours. Why doesn't the government stop this child abuse?

-Of course a kid that age cries.

-32 months old... She's still in diapers...

-I feel so bad for that baby.

-I don't even want to acknowledge this as a 'culture'. What did that baby do to deserve this?

-Babies are supposed to f*cking cry.

-Wouldn't it be weirder if she didn't cry at that age?

-This is so heartbreaking... She's just a babyㅠㅠ

-She's forced to live apart from her parents. How could she not cry?

-They should choose men to be the Kumari. These f*cking bastards.

-This is absurd.

BTS RM's honest thoughts on marriage and childbirth

 

와 시바 대통령님 명절에 명언 지리게하고가셧네 https://t.co/udukcDOMeA

Jinsu-ya, durig his live broadcast, RM said that marriage and childbirth are choices. He said that South Korea seems to put too much pressure on women to give birth. He told women to just live life however they want. I totally agree. Ladies, let's stop thinking marriage and childbirth are obligations.

There's this pressure about marriage, and it's a realistic concern. Especially for women. It feels like there's this constant pressure from society and the media for us to have children and other things. I just hope everyone gets to live life however they want. There's no right answer. 

I just think... If you can't handle being alone, will getting married actually make it better? Because once you're married, you might still want to be alone. People are complicated. So, someone who is comfortable with being alone might also be comfortable having companion, and vice versa. Therefore, getting married as a solution or a way to escape loneliness... I don't think that's right. 

As for children, I'm not sure about this either. For me, I already struggle with taking care of myself. Raising a new life, a child... It doesn't really go the way you plan. If I think about how much trouble I gave my parents when I was young, then imagine if I had a kid just like me? Ugh~~ How tough would that be? Of course, they could be lovable to. But again, there's no right answer. 

People who are married can only speak from the perspective of married people, and those who aren't married can only speak from the perspective of unmarried people. There are things we don't know about each other. Stories and cases from those around you should only be taken as their personal experiences. 

In South Korea, I think those of us born in the 90s are the first generation where marriage truly became an options. I believe everyone should live according to their own choices. 

I went a bit too deep into the topic of marriage, but well... That's just how it is. What else do we really have as content in life? Hobbies, travel... There's no right answer to any of it. 

However, I do think it's important to nurture both our bodies and minds. Exercise and reading are the things that genuinely bring good to people. I don't think there's anything that's 100% good for everyone, but if there is, it's reading and exercising. Because they don't lie. 

So, marriage doesn't make your loneliness go away 100%. I really don't think it does.

theqoo

-Whoa... Honestly, I never really liked him before, but this makes me like him. You can tell he's smart. He speaks in a different way.

-That's right. Reading and exercising are always a plus in life.

-I want to get married to someone smart like that.

-As expected from Namjoon💜

-Does he have no thoughts on writing a book? I’m genuinely curious about what he thinks and feels about life.

-As expected from my bias. He's the first Korean man I've deeply fallen for. A cool person down to the bone.

-He's so freaking smart.

-He should be the President.

-He's right. We live in an era where marriage is no longer mandatory.

-Fans might not like it, but I think he should go into politics.

-He's absolutely right. Marriage doesn't end loneliness. Sometimes, you'll feel even lonelier. Do you think having child will make you feel less lonely? Sometimes you'll feel even lonelier with child.

-... If you're telling me to live however I want.. I want to marry you, darling.

-Crazy... Give him a round of applause.

-Can he run in the next election?
