Six South Koreans charged in Moon official's kidnapping (1984)
NEW YORK -- Six former South Korean military men have been charged with kidnapping and torturing the acting leader of the Unification Church two months ago in a plot to extort $1 million from the Rev. Sun Myung Moon's religious organization.
The FBI said Tuesday the suspects kidnapped Col. Bo Hi Pak, 54, the Unification Church's director of publications and its leader since Moon was sent to jail in July for tax evasion.
Pak, a retired South Korean army colonel, is chairman of Newsworld Communications, which runs the church's newspapers, including The Washington Times and the New York City Tribune.
Church officials disputed the FBI's description of Pak as church leader, saying several people share the running of church operations.
Court documents said Pak was leaving the Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 23 when he met Yung Soo Suh, 48, for dinner.
Pak got into a car driven by Su Il Yi, 51, where he was met by several other Koreans who pulled guns, handcuffed and blindfolded him.
The FBI said Pak was held in a small house in Slate Hill, N.Y., 50 miles north of New York City.
Lee Laster, the FBI's assistant director in New York, said Pak's captors used electric shocks and fired guns close to his head in a day and a half of torture to convince Pak 'they would kill him if he did not agree to transfer $1 million to a Swiss bank account.'
Pak agreed to wire half that amount to the Swiss account and on the morning of Sept. 25 was driven by two of his captors to LaGuardia International Airport in New York and allowed to fly to Washington to complete the cash transfer.
In Washington, Pak's lawyer, John Bray, said church leaders in New York knew something was wrong and notified authorities within 24 hours of Pak's disappearance.
The FBI contacted Pak when he arrived in Washington and the money transaction was delayed, then canceled.
Charged in the case were Yi, an unemployed bookkeeper who served with the Korean Allied Forces; Yung Keun Lee, 49; retired Gen. Sang Whi Nam, 59; Hyun Tae Yoo, no age given, and Hong Lim Park, no age given, a retired naval officer.
Officials said they were taken into custody in the past five days.
Laster declined to speculate whether internal church politics or South Korean politics were involved but, 'We believe it was a strictly financial deal. They were looking for a million dollars and any way they could get it.'
But during an arraignment in Newark, N.J., Yi's attorney told U.S. Magistrate G. Donald Haneke that the kidnapping 'ostensibly is a power struggle within the Unification Church.' He did not elaborate.
The church claims 3 million members worldwide.

Ptj verse style: (though only lookism is mentioned here)
Point of view on some complaints :
Not many female actions
Female anatomy
I don't wish to start any war and i apologise if I have missed out on any point. I don't know if these topics have been already been said before. Criticisms and opinions are all welcome! Don't know if I'm late. It's be good if you also read "Lookismstuff" who has many good analysis points on PTJ lookism
-> Firstly, Not having many female action scenes:
Well, perhaps it's just a boys boys game ? It's not that PTJ deems women weak, or he won't have characters like Mary, Crystal (2nd body), Sophia, etc. Now, there have been many novels, comics, Webtoons solely based on strong females and that too, it's not limited to just action genre and in many of 'em the story mostly revolves around all the females of the story and barely any men, now please do not take this the wrong way
It's just like a theme? Or like just boys things that have nothing to do with gender roles. Especially considering the fact that many women don't join thugs and illegal gangs to get their life together, or love being involved in a thousand fights. Many women prefer a peaceful life, they can fight if they want to, but they like the liberation.
-> Secondly, female anatomy:
Even I was really disheartened with the style. But in the end, women aren't the only one being objectifyed here, men are too. The typical- buff, charming, flawless and handsome faces and some do seem over the top. That is usually overlooked by many of us. It's like a typical teenage-youth fantasy world with handsome men and women. Besides, PTJ has other anatomy styles as well like - Duke, old little Daniel, Crystal, stalker girl, Sophia, etc. So, I don't really seem to want to criticize the women anatomy here either
I'm not well versed in these things, but I hope my message has been conveyed. I don't know if it will come across many. You can criticize as much.
Thank you

Alchemy of Souls (Part 1 & 2)
Tumblr media
This is definite another favorite of mine; right next to Scarlet Heart Ryeo. Alchemy of Souls & Alchemy of Soul: Light and Shadow tell the story a young group of mage who have to fight against the greed of soul shifters and the sorcerous that conjure the spell. The story has a perfect balance of humor, action, romance, and suspense in a beautifully threaded plot.
The story begins with Naksu, a powerful female assassin, who wants to avenge the murder of her father as she follows her master's orders. And Jang Ok trying to unlock the power within him in his quest to becoming the mage everyone is trying to prevent him to become because of the truth of his birth. These two meet when Jang Ok has left his last master and she has shifted to the body of a blind girl in order to escape death. But she is no longer the powerful mage she had been, now that she is trapped in this body and in order to regain her power, she accepts becoming Jang Ok's master disguised as servant.
These two lives are entwined in a tangle of intrigue, misunderstanding and friendships that are strengthened and forged as Naksu as Mu Deok and Jang Ok walk the challenging terrain to make Jang Ok reach the highest level of a mage.
I fell in love with the characters, their personalities, their struggles and feelings. The end of the first part broke my heart.
The second part starts 3 years after Mu Deok's death and Jang Ok's returning from the afterlife with the ice stone. Jang Ok who is surrounded by shadows, and the pain of losing the love of his life, has become the most powerful mage and carries the responsibility of destroying soul shifters. Meanwhile, the two souls that had co-existed in Mu Deok's body are now enclosed in Naksu's body. But this time, both souls have lost their memories and powers and are imprisoned in the Jinyowon household. It is through Jin Bu Yeon's interaction with Jang Ok and the others that she slowly regains her powers and memories. In this last part, the youth come together to defeat the greed and selfishness of the king, queen, and everyone who sought to gain power through the alchemy of souls and the ice stone.
This series was definitely worth the wait! I recommend it to everyone. I will be thinking about this story for a long time. I know I will be watching this one multiple times.

the fabulous
just finished watching.
Tumblr media
such a cute little drama. i was attracted to it because of a singular clip on youtube when ji eun is comforting joseph while woo min laughs.
i. the centre point of the drama which COMPLETELY made it my favourite was the friendships. even tho joseph and ppyoji were a segment and seon ho and woo min the other, they all complimented each other so well. perfectly showed the dynamics of a four-people friend group where two people are closer to each other. but it didn't deter seon ho and ji eun to be so close to each other, nor did it stop joseph and woo min to love each other.
another thing about friendships is the love between boss and employee, ms oh and ji eun, mr do and woo min, joseph and esther.
the friendships of joseph and ji eun was so comforting, them being each other's hype men and always there. seon ho and woo min was personally very attached to me because of the nature of call out friendships mixed with the same rough affection we all have.
ii. i am SO glad kdramas have moved on from the 'toxic parents' trope. i am so sick of seeing unsupportive parents and fathers who try to hide their emotions while the mother slyly tells the daughter who is shedding a tear. seon ho's parents were so fucking supportive and open about it. and joseph's mother, in the first ep, i thought she was going to be the airhead mother who's just...there. but she really is his biggest hype(wo)man and supporter.
iii. the thing that did bug me was when ji eun slept with woo min in the first ep despite being in a relationship with nam jin at the time. seeing how it was never discussed again i thought maybe i was mistaken but...idk. still bothers me a bit.
iv. but apart from that, THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THEM was so fucking charged. like, in the first ep, during the pub scene, you could literally feel the sparks in between them. even if it was a little predictable, we dont watch kdramas like these for the slice of life it offers, but rather a feeling of comfort.
v. seon ho. my woman. what a fucking badass. the way she stood up for those models? bad ass. also she's so fucking pretty.
ps - the side plot of do young was so weird and unnecessary did not get it. except when he showed that album to ji eun.
pss - may everyone get a friend like esther amen.

What is this post you might say? Well exacly as the banner says. I saw a tweet where some kpop fan said their childhood song was ruined was by a classical korean group. And bunch of other kpoppers agreed. Guess they only listen to some mediocore kpop artists and never heard a good singer. So I present you a bunch of Korean artists (male version) with really good voices you should check out. And behold! It’s all live performances! No youtube embeds since you can only embed 5 so links instead.
황치열 (Hwang Chi-yeul) - All Of My Life
https://youtu.be/oEEr7nEGOHU
This is a cover of Park Won’s All Of My Life. I listen to both artists but never knew Hwang Chi-Yeul covered this until it showed up on my youtube front page. And my first reaction was “Wait hold up! The All Off My Life??? The one from Park Won???”. I insta clicked and wow this cover is phenomenal. It even made me emotional.
김재환 (Kim Jae Hwan) - Leave The Door Open
https://youtu.be/RNsksNAAk14
It was the cover of Tom Grennan’s Little Bit Of Love that introduced me to Kim Jae Hwan and I was like damm who are you. He has done many covers and this is one of my faves.
WOODZ (조승연) - Accident
https://youtu.be/C2ybLIsT21c
Every single time I listen to this live clip I am amazed at how easy he hits those high notes. Woodz is also an all rounder since he can also dance and write songs.
퍼플레인 (Purple Rain) - 자옥아
https://youtu.be/3Qv-Cmcgsao
Purple Rain unfortunately doesn’t exist anymore but the singer is also part of The Vane. This guy’s voice is no joke. He got such a volume.
이홍기 (Lee Hong Gi) - 사랑아
https://youtu.be/6nDpVI12xnU
So the singer of F.T Island. Everytime a list would pop up with best kpop singers he was never in there. Like excuse me? He has an amazing voice. He puts in so many emotions when he’s singing. You can feel it.
비(RAIN)의 킬링보이스를 라이브로
https://youtu.be/VKwvmLS0BBY?t=1034
Well this is a collection of Rain singing small parts of his hits. This channel has a lot of great singers doing their own hits. I timestamped this because the performance for one his songs is out of this world!
박효신 (Park Hyo Shin) - 야생화
https://youtu.be/geqkGm6YpCo
He performed this song many times but this live version is something else. I won’t say why, just listen! 
Kim Feel & - Kim Jongwan (Nell) Time To Walk Through Memories
https://youtu.be/DKgZVNW4Zok?t=201
First of I love the show Begin Again. I like the the setting and the stripped down versions of songs they do. This is a song by Nell they are singing. And it made me emotional the first time I listened to it. Such a beautiful version.
몽니 (Monni) - 세상만사
https://youtu.be/3Jiy2SToM1s
Listen, I listen to a lot of music so I don’t always know what the artists I listen to look like. And Monni was an example. I always check out every Immortal Songs 2 performance. And here is I was like I wonder who this band is. Then the singer started singing and I was like “OMG this is Monni!”. Another singer with a big volume.
라포엠(LA POEM) - 여러분
https://youtu.be/TmemF9bK6mI
Not everything is always my type of music and when I checked this out and they started singing I was like “O opera”. Definitly not something I listen to. But I continued to listen and I ended up breaking down. I had tears streaming down my face. I also checked out their recorded music but it doesn’t do anything for me. But their live performances I do love.
김기태 (Kim Ki Tae) - 그대 앞에 난 촛불이어라
https://youtu.be/gbsbYHLIP0M
Immortal Songs 2 also introduces me to artists I have never heard of. Because to be fair there are a lot of ballad singers out there. Kim Ki Tae is one of them snf wow. I love how he has a raw edge to his voice. Vocals don’t always have to be super clean to me. 
임태경 (Lim Tae-kyung) - 낙인
https://youtu.be/1vEkouZmUH4
Last one in this post. I gotta stop somewhere. Lim Tae-kyung is also someone I never heard of but this performance is great.
Other artists you should listen to that are not in this post: Bumkey, Crush, Daldam, KCM, Kim MinSeok, Muzie, O.WHEN, Park Won, Shin Yong Jae & Soulstar

Cheritz's changes in staff over the lifetime of The Ssum
I wanted to write a post about this because it was the nail in the coffin convincing me that The Ssum won't get better. I really want to be optimistic, I was for the first year of the game's release. But with how hard they're fumbling June's route, and having some context by seeing the dramatic changes that happen behind the scenes, I don't have any hope for the game's future in its original concept.
So here's a big fat list of credits, comparison of them, and my own stupid commentary.
A comparison of the beta OPs credits (2018) vs the new OP credits (April 2022)
Project Directed by-
Sujin Ri (this stays constant)
Project Managed by-
Heinrich Dortmann (this stays constant during the time periods I'm comparing- we'll come back to this later)

Yuseung An (this credit never appears again so uhhhh)
Game Designed by-
Yoonji Shin, Haeyoung Go (this credit also never appears again)

2018:
Youngtak Lee, Heetae Lee, Yeonwoo Jung, Kyungha Kim, Kyungho Kim, Jihyun Jang, Hyejin Hong, Daniel Hong, Seungiim(?) Hwang, Dakyoung Lee
April 2022:
Heetae Lee, Junghee Choi
Art illustrated by-
2018:
Ilbo Sim, Jinhee Lee, Jihyeon Choi, Hyunju Na, Juhul Kim, Jaehee Hwang, Mirae Kang
April 2022:
Ilbo Sim, Jihyeon Choi, Minji Kim, Mirae Kang, Youngjoo You, Yura Lee
Programmed by-
2018:
Mansu Park, Marcos Arroyo, Rachel Tay, Soonyong Hong, Seungjin Lee, Myungjun Choi
April 2022:
Gunsoo Lee, Kukhwa Park, Moonhyuk Jang, Myungjun Choi, Seungjin Lee, Wonbok Lee, Youngkwon Jeon

April 2022:
Jinseo Park, Lilly Hwang, Minjung Kim, Saerom Shin, Summer Yoon, Youngran Moon
Language Localized by-
2018:
Sunhee Moon, Minkyung Chi, Sungjae Choi, Junhee Kim
April 2022:
Minkyung Chi, Pilhwa Hong, Saenanseul Kim, Sorim Byeon
Sound Resourced by-
2018:
(N/A)
April 2022:
Songhee Kim
Customer Service/Communication with Users by-
2018:
Sunkyeong Yun, Hyeseon Yang
April 2022:
Donghee Yoon, Joyce Hong, Sanghee An, Subin Kim
Credits from 2019
Tumblr media
These are in the lyric booklet included in the Teo Love Bundle. Strangely enough, I'm already seeing differences between the 2018 credits and 2019. Uh oh?
As of release + a few months
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
These screenshots don't feature all the credits, unfortunately. I'm relying on screenshots someone else took because I'm not proactive but hindsight is 20/20.
Changes: Project is no longer managed by Heinrich Dortmann, instead by Juho Woo. Scenario team cut down to 2 people, one of which is a new name (Jooyoung Lim). Art team also cut down to 2 people. Sound is no longer resourced by Songhee Kim, but Jaeryeon Park and ROGIA. All new team of directing assistants as well, it expanded to 4 people but they're all new names. 2 fewer programmers, only one of the listed names was already working.
October 2023 (June's release)
Here's where it somehow gets worse lol.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Changes: A lot. Directing assisted by 1 person. They were not a part of the team credited in the OP. Down to 3 programmers, only 1 being in the OP. Entirely new art team! It's up to 4 people, but all of them are new, even compared to only a few months prior. Down to 1 scenario writer pobrecita (but we're coming back to that). Since I don't have screenshots of the project assistant credits from launch, can't say anything for that, except that Gui Zhenghao is new compared to the OP but the number of staff there remained the same. Flaming Heart is gone for the BGM! He's been working with Cheritz for forever but is gone now. One person from the communication team left, so they're down to 2. That would explain why emails have been slower since October. Only 1 translator, though Cheritz is now looking to recruit new ones.
Important note:
According to Cheritz's post acknowledging their use of gAI, Sujin Ri was not involved in writing season 1 of the game, but IS the main writer for season 2. I won't make a rant about how much I hate what she's writing cuz this isn't the post for that, but it explains why season 2 is so vastly different.
The fact that only a few people (like, in the lower single digits) remain even from 2019/early 2022, let alone who's still around from 2018, is really frustrating for the game. The game started with one vision, but now it's being turned into something completely different. Even the app's functions are inconsistant between season 1 and 2 (and a little so between Harry and Teo). According to an email I got from Cheritz, season 2 takes place a few years before season 1. Just sit with that knowledge for a bit :P. It's like the current people in charge of The Ssum (*cough Sujiin Ri*) couldn't be bothered to keep the original concept in mind, let alone how the timeline would work.
This post was a long time coming, I was caught up in just how bizarre this all is and finding tons of stuff that I haven't even included in the post. Writing this has taken about 3 hours (including the time I spent on a post ONLY FOR TUMBLR TO NOT WANNA WORK PROPERLY WHEN I TRIED TO POST IT SO IT GOT DELETED) and uhhh yeah. Now I gotta wait a few years to ask former staff if their NDAs are expired yet LOL

The Fabulous
Tumblr media
I frankly don't know where to start., so I'll be blunt: I didn't like this series. I forced myself to finish it and I skipped episodes - and mind you, this was an 8 episode series. It was the combination of poor storyline, character development and representation. The characters come off as frivolous, the gay characters feel like a stereotyped caricature that felt cringy at times. And I just couldn't connect with any of the characters. It annoyed me that Pyo Ji Eun could forgive and give a second chance to Lee Nam Jin who insulted her when they broke up, but she couldn't forgive and give a second chance to her friend and ex-boyfriend because she couldn't see how he expressed his feelings for her. These characters are static, there is no true growth in them. At the end of the series they are the same as they were in the beginning.
The plot felt superficial too. It could have worked if there had been some depth to the conflicts that could truly make the characters do some growing; for example Ye Seon Ho's situation as a model. This could have been explored more. The conflicts are all triggered by the whim of celebrities, rich people or influencers. Shim Do Young is supposed to be the cute boy trying to make it in the fashion industry and he comes off as annoying and shallow.
Thierry's story could have been a nice subplot but they turned that character into the biggest caricature of the set of characters.
It's a pity because the cast has some really good actors in it, but they were not able to bring to life characters that the audience could connect.
I truly don't recommend this one. There are other series about fashion that are much better.
