Equinox: 노리코 씨 오늘 수업이 끝난 후에 어디에 갈 계획이에요?
[Noriko, where are you planning to go after lesson today?]
Noriko: 극장에 갈 거예요.
[I will be going to the cinema.]
Equinox: 무슨 영화를 보겠어요?
[What movie are you watching?]
Noriko: 아니오. 영화전단을 수집하러 갈 거예요.
[No. I am going to collect movie pamplets.]
Equinox: 그렇군요.
[Oh, I see.]
Noriko was sitting in front of me during our Korean language class in KHU. Together with 2 other Japaneses, we were known as the "Bulgogi" team. There were also the "Bibimbap", "Kimbap" and "Kimchi" team. During one of the break in between lessons, I asked Noriko about her plan for the afternoon. She said she was going to the cinema to collect movie pamplets. Actually I was only expecting her to tell me what movie she was going to watch. As we do not have movie pamplets in Singapore, her answer came as a surprise to me. So on my first visit to cinema in Seoul, I was on a look out for movie pamplets. I collected a few of them as souvenir. The pamplet gives a synopsis of the movie, the director and the cast. They are colourful and beautifully printed. I can now understand why Noriko was so interested in collecting them.

Movie pamplet of the award-winning Korean film "What The Snow Brings".
I rather it do without pamplets in Singapore. If not one movie will have to cost us more than S$12 (20% more than current??) :)
ReplyDeleteDo you really think that even without movie pamplets, Singapore movie tickets will always be cheaper than Seoul?
ReplyDeleteI personally think that with or without pamplets, our movie operators are definitely looking at all sort of reasons to justify their next price raise. It is just a matter of time before the ticket price here is as expensive as Seoul :(
