Question 1

“This might be a very silly question. But do they celebrate Thanksgiving in Korea? Happy Turkey Day! ~Laura ”

Answer: Happy Thanksgiving to you too! Although not exactly the same celebration we have here, they do have a similar one called "Chu suk." Celebrated during their harvest season, the festival is also celebrated as a mark of respect to elders. It is a time for feasting and happiness for Koreans. Offerings are made of newly harvested foods.
I was in Korea during "Chu suk" one year. The main freeway was jam-packed with people travelling back to their hometowns to celebrate with family and friends.
Also during Chu suk, Koreans hold memorial services at the grave sites of their ancestors. I always loved seeing how Koreans greatly honor their ancestors and heritage.


Question 2

“I really like Korean movies. Does YA Entertainment carry any movies?” ~Steve

Answer: We do have a couple of movies and are planning to do more. Right now we have "Peppermint Candy" and "Singles." Also, we will release "My Little Bride" on DVD with English subtitles in early 2007 (starring Kim Rae Won). Then, the best news is that we will release one of my all-time favorite Korean movies in March 2007: "Lover's Concerto." Yeah! Thanks for the email!
