Celebrated Korean movie star Sean Richard Dulake will be a judge at the upcoming Teach North Korean Refugees (TNKR) 6th English speech contest in Seoul, Saturday.

Seven North Korean refugees will be invited to give speeches in English in the contest which is sponsored by The Korea Times.

As 70 percent of the North Koreans who have escaped to South Korea are women, the theme of the contest is "A Woman Is a Flower" examining the lives of North Korean women.

Each speaker will have up to 10 minutes to address the question as they wish.

Born to a British father and Korean mother, Dulake was raised in Los Angeles, California. After studying theater arts and business at Boston University, he moved to Korea in 2008.

Two years later, he landed his first leading role in a Korean television series.

Dulake has played a diverse array of characters in multiple film and television projects ranging from the role of the first doctor to establish a Western hospital in the 1880s in Korea in the period drama "Jejungwon" (2010), to a double agent in the blockbuster action series "Athena: Goddess of War" (2011).

The actor also directed and hosted a documentary for the Discovery Channel that explores hallyu, or the Korean wave, titled "Korea Next: Finding Hallyuwood" (2012).

He was nominated for best director at the 2013 Asian Television Awards.

Most recently, Dulake starred in and produced "Dramaworld" (2016), an original Netflix series about an American girl who gets sucked into her favorite Korean drama through her smartphone.

The speech contest will be held at the Shin and Kim Law Office from 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

The office is on the 8th floor of the State Tower Namsan, 100 Toegye-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul.

Kakao M has officially formed partnerships with entertainment agencies.

 

On June 27, Kakao M shared an update following reports the day before that it was in talks to acquire entertainment agencies. Kakao M stated, “We signed a contract with BH Entertainment to acquire a portion of its shares and are in the process of establishing a partnership with Management SOOP. We also signed a contract to acquire a portion of shares of J,WIDE-Company and Ready Entertainment.”

 

Kakao M made strategic investments and created partnerships with three actor management agencies BH Entertainment, J,WIDE-Company, Management SOOP, and Korea’s leading advertisement model casting agency Ready Entertainment in order to globalize its content. It’s reported that Kakao has gained a competitive advantage by securing many famous actors.

 

BH Entertainment currently houses actors including Lee Byung Hun, Go Soo, Han Ji Min, Han Ga In, Chu Ja Hyun, Yu Xiaoguang, Yoo Ji Tae, Kim Go Eun, Park Hae Soo, Lee Ji Ah, Jang Young Nam, Lee Hee Joon, Jin Goo, Park Sung Hoon, Gong Seung Yeon, Byun Woo Suk, Karata Erika, and Sean Richard.

 

J,WIDE-Company’s roster of actors includes Lee Sang Yoon, Uhm Ji Won, Kim So Yeon, Kang Ye Won, Baek Jin Hee, Kim Tae Ri, Choi Daniel, and many more.

 

Management SOOP represents many actors such as Gong Yoo, Jeon Do Yeon, Gong Hyo Jin, Jung Yoo Mi, Nam Ji Hyun, Seo Hyun Jin, Kim Jae Wook, Lee Chun Hee, Yoo Min Kyu, Lee Jae Joon, Jung Ga Ram, and Jeon So Ni.

 

Kakao M is expected to play an influential role in forming a value chain across all sectors of the visual entertainment industry after its acquisition of actors who are popular at home and abroad. Through advertisement model casting agency Ready Entertainment’s Chinese subsidiary and its global network, Kakao M will also seek different ways to expand its influence.

 

Kakao will complete its production system and expand its value chain by targeting the global contents market through its acquired Super IP (intellectual property rights) and recruitment of famous writers and directors. The company is expected to make a strong impact on the entire visual entertainment industry.

 

Actors belonging to BH Entertainment, J,WIDE-Company, and Management SOOP have been consistently active and in-demand in Korea and overseas.

 

With the combination of the company’s new venture and existing subsidiaries Fave Entertainment, Cre.Ker Entertainment, Starship Entertainment, King Kong by Starship, Plan A Entertainment, Munhwain, and Nylon Korea, it is expected to have widespread influence across the Korean culture industry. Video contents company Nylon Korea will also strengthen its celebrity content and collaborate with Daum to increase its digital media power.

 

Kakao M CEO Lee Jae Wook said, “Kakao M will maximize profits by completing the value chain that consists of actors, production, and advertisement, and will quickly become the No. 1 K-Contents company. We plan to strengthen our synergy with our partner companies and start IPO [initial public offering].”

 

Kakao M also currently operates a video production business after running the mobile video production company Krispy Studio since last January and co-investing in the drama production company Mega Monster with Studio Dragon last May. It has also planned and produced various trendy on and offline content about beauty and fashion after it acquired Nylon Korea.
