[미국살이] AMC 극장에서 한국영화 ‘하이재킹’ 상영 – 7월 5일부터 (Hijacked 1971)

한국에서는 6월 21일에 개봉하여 연일 관객을 모으고 있는 최신 한국영화 ‘하이재킹’이 미국에서도 곧 개봉할 예정이다. 독립기념일 다음날인 7월 5일 개봉이 확정되었다.

주연배우는 하정우, 여진구, 성동일, 채수빈 이며, 감독은 김성한이다.

한국에서는 12세이상 관람가로 개봉을 하였는데 현재 미국 AMC 사이트내 정보로는 rating 이 “R”로 씌여있다.

최근 극장에서 개봉된 영화로는 ‘인사이드 아웃2’의 기새가 거세지만 ‘하이재킹’의 돌풍이 어떤 영향을 일으키게될지 귀추가 주목된다.

이 영화는 1971년에 실제로 발생한 속초공항을 출발하여 김포국제공항으로 가는 대한항공 소속 F27의 납북 미수 사건을 바탕으로 만들어진 영화로 당시에 휴대품 검사가 제대로 이루어지지않아 사제 폭탄을 지닌채 탑승하게 되면서 사건이 일어나게 된다.

코스코에서 한국식 호떡 발견 – 호떡 8개 (25.4온스)

K-Foods 열풍으로 알디(Aldi)나 코스코(Costco) 등에 한국음식을 많이 볼수 있는데 이번에는 한국식 호떡을 냉동고에서 발견했다. 그것도 풀무원 제품으로…

포장지에는 Pulmuone Sweet Cinnamon Korean Style Pancakes – Sweet cinnamon filled Korean style pancake 로 기재되어 있고, 용량은 25.4oz(1.6LB) 720g 이다.

냉동실에 저장해야하고 세가지 조리방법은 아래와 같다.

  1. 후라이팬 중간불에서 3-4분 정도 노릇해질때까지 굽고, 다시 뒤집어서 노릇해질때까지 달군다.
  2. 에어 프라이어 350도에서 5분 정도 굽는다.
  3. 전자렌지에서 1개를 데울때는 1분전후, 2개이상일때는 강약에 따리 1분 30초에서 1분 50초 사이로 데운다.

호떡 안에 흑설탕이 요리이후에는 녹아서 흐르면 매우 뜨거우므로 시식할때 조심해야할것이다.

크기도 작지않은 4-5인치 정도에 풀무원 상품이라 한국식 호떡이 그리울땐 코스코에서 구입할수 있어 무척 반가웠다.

‘Seoul Spring’ to be released at AMC Theaters from December 7th- 12:12: The Day (Seoul Spring)

The movie ‘Seoul Spring’, which has been gaining popularity every day since its release in Korea on November 22nd, will soon land in the United States.

The release date is December 7th, which is the same as ‘Concrete Utopia’, which was previously announced for release in the United States.

While Concrete Utopia has already been released in the summer in Korea and was a box office hit during the summer vacation season, ‘Seoul Spring’ is a movie about dark times and is attracting the attention of older people who remember it.

The total running time is 141 minutes, which is over two hours. It will also be of interest if a director’s cut is released, as the original film, which lasted over five hours in total, was edited to over two hours.

‘Seoul Spring’ is directed by Kim Seong-su, and the cast includes famous actors Hwang Jung-min, Jung Woo-sung, Lee Seong-min, Kim Seong-gyun, and Park Hae-joon.

It is open to ages 12 and older, and if you have children of that age, it would be a good idea to watch it with your family.

The link to the ‘Seoul Spring’ movie on the AMC website is as follows.

Before going to see the movie, I watched a video on YouTube about the December 12 day called “Chun Doo-hwan’s historical day, reconstruction of December 12 – KBS History Journal That Day,” which aired on KBS 14 years after December 12, 1979.

While watching Part 1, my heart was already pounding and my fever was rising, so I continued watching.

We must keep in mind that as citizens of a country, we must accurately know the history of our country.

Try Korean corn dogs in the US – Kong Dog

When you watch Korean dramas or entertainment shows, there are a lot of corn dogs. Instead of the corn dogs you ate when you were young, you may have seen a lot of scenes with sausages and cheese inside.

Korean culture is becoming very popular in the United States these days, and among Korean foods, corn dog franchises are very popular these days.

The franchise name is Kong Dog, and in addition to the locations already open in Illinois, there are a number of locations scheduled to open soon. Kong Dog’s website address is as follows.

kongdog.us

When I entered the store in the evening, many people were already filling up the place and there was a long line to order. There were many families with children, and there were also many young people.

When ordering, you select 10 types of corn dogs as shown in the photo below, and then choose the filling. You can choose from a variety of fillings, such as beef sausage, mozzarella cheese, half sausage and cheese, or chicken sausage.

When I received what I ordered, I was surprised at how much bigger it was than it looked in pictures or TV shows. The French fries were also very plentiful for the price of $3.99. I was very satisfied with the crunchy taste and not a lot of salt.

Korea’s famous bar “KKUNNORI” arrives in Chicago – Grand opening (Northbrook) – A good pub for group meetings

“KKUNNORI” which is gaining popularity in Korea as a place to enjoy simple drinks and snacks, has landed in Northbrook, a suburb of Chicago.

The location is the site of Daedonggak Chinese Restaurant, which has been famous for its Chinese cuisine for a long time. It’s sad that Daedonggak closed, but we also welcome the opening of “KKUNNORI” a popular bar in Korea.

The partial opening was advertised as September 30, 2023, so I looked up the business hours and found that it opens at 4pm on both weekdays and weekends. Closing time is 1AM on Fridays and Saturdays, and at 12PM from Sundays to Thursdays.

Compared to many restaurants that close at 10PM, it is open until late, so it seems to be the best place for late-night gatherings.

Although it is not a “room type” as advertised in Korea, it is a great place for group gatherings as it is separated from the tables next to it by a temporary wall.

Korea’s KKUNNORI restaurant seems to be popular with women on special occasions and people who prefer privacy rather than an open restaurant.

There is a Korean fusion menu, and there seem to be a lot of good dishes to snack on. Now, rather than drinking at a Korean restaurant, I think we can invite foreign guests to drink together at a Korean-style bar with delicious snacks.

The menu offers a variety of snacks that can be enjoyed by many people, including light meals (K-Food).

The Cheese Chicken and Kkabarou that I ordered tasted healthier than expected, not too salty or too spicy.
