This past October, EverythingLBH.com celebrated its 6th anniversary and at the same time, our ELBH Facebook finally achieved the much-anticipated milestone of 1000 likes since it was started in 2012. When @taprokh and myself started the FB, we thought in jest that there will only be 2 of us till the end but finally we have 998 fellow fans who we feel are genuinely supporting the sharing. It may just be a thousand or less yet it feels like a million that we very much appreciate them all.

However, this year also marked our 15th year at Soompi and having this thread, the ELBH website, twitter and facebook to upkeep have made us decide to let go some parts to keep on sharing without giving up all. rubie is not making sense, right? The FB for instance, have been a great sharing site for fans but lately, it's been hard to post updates on time as many of you have noticed the increasing belated news posts. Besides, there are other facebook focusing on Lee Byung Hun that can share better than us. So, we will concede our already-depleted energy & failing effort. Nonetheless, the FB will still highlight the posts at EverythingLBH.com which we will try to maintain, for as long as we are able to.

Sorry for any typos, etc..  just had eye surgery on Monday and should be resting more. Obviously this blurpanda is a certified fool.

Korean film 'Master' presold to 31 countries

SEOUL, Nov. 18 (Yonhap) -- The South Korean crime action film "Master" starring top actors Lee Byung-hun, Kang Dong-won and Kim Woo-bin has been sold to 31 countries before its release, according to its local distributor Friday.

The movie's distribution rights have been sold to companies in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Taiwan, Thailand, the Philippines and other countries, CJ Entertainment said.

The action flick had reportedly garnered huge interest when it was showcased at the American Film Market (AFM) held in Santa Monica from Nov. 2-9.

The film's foreign release will kick off in the U.S. in December. Then it will hit Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore in that order starting the following month.

"Master," helmed by director Cho Ui-seok, revolves around a multibillion-dollar heist plotted by Chairman Jin (Lee Byung-hun), a notorious swindler; Kim Jae-myeong (Kang Dong-won), the head of the police's intelligence crime unit who chases Jin; and Park Jang-gun (Kim Woo-bin), Jin's right-hand man in charge of the company's computer room.

The movie comes to Korean theaters in December.

Woobs : "I'm not good at aegyo, but I'm good at skinship."
KDW (responds to Woobs' talk) : "He touches a lot~"
Woobs : "I do things like this (touch KDW)."

Q : "If you are left on isolated island, who'd you choose to stay with you?"
[LBH & KDW chooses KWB, while Woobs choose LBH]
Woobs : "Actually there is no any differences if I were to live in that island with only one of them. Because LBH have more living experience, so I chooses him so that I can live wisely."
LBH : "I choose Woobs because I can make use of his tall frame, besides that KWB is really good at taking care people. Live in isolated island may not be that bad after all."

Star Studded Korean Crime Thriller “Master” Sold to 31 Countries Ahead of Release

By Ella Palileo Asian Movie Pulse

Writer-director Cho Ui-seok’s South Korean crime action thriller Master has been pre-sold to 31 countries even before its local December release.

The KPop Herald reports that CJ Entertainment has sold the film’s distribution rights to international territories such as the United States, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Italy, Thailand, and Singapore among others.

In Master, Filmmaker Cho Ui-seok—known for his crime hits Make it Big (2002), The World of Silence (2006) and Cold Eyes (2013)—directs three of Korea’s biggest actors.

Master is a complex battle between cops and con artists. Lee Byung-hun, who we recently saw in The Age of Shadows (2016) and The Magnificent Seven (2016), plays Jin Hyun—the charming conman and chairman of Won Network. Actor-model Kim Woo Bin, of Friend 2 (2013) and The Con Artists (2014) fame, plays Park Jang-gun—Jin’s faithful right-hand man and Won Network’s tech expert.

When Won Network gets involved in a multibillion-dollar fraud case, Kim Jae-myeong, the team leader of the police intelligent crime unit, must hunt down Jin. Gang Dong-won, known for the blockbusters The Priests (2015) and A Violent Prosecutor (2016), plays the charismatic cop Kim. Uhm Ji-Won as Lieutenant Shin Gemma, Oh Dal-Su as Prosecutor Hwang Myung Joon, and Jin Kyuan as advertising executive Kim Eom Ma, complete the ensemble.
