really lovely and insightful story by @rokwon on Squid Game. I particularly appreciated reading the exchange about feeling added pressure when it comes to "depicting, and perhaps representing, Koreans to so many people" as R.O. writes https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/05/squid-game-season-2-awards-insider

new story! I asked Director Yeon Sang-ho about how he adapted his webtoon into new series Hellbound, his thoughts on Korean entertainment's booming popularity and his hopes and concerns about U.S. remake of Train to Busan.

I profiled the wonderful @justinhmin for @TVGuide and he talked about playing a “lonely, insecure” Sparrow Ben in #TheUmbrellaAcademy, how he thinks about the Asian identities of his characters, & his recent fave K-drama (which I didn’t finish oops) https://www.tvguide.com/news/the-umbrella-academys-justin-h-min-is-having-a-breakout-year-and-hes-just-getting-started/
