12. 후회하지 않아

I recently discovered that the independent film "후회하지 않아" ("No Regret") was available through a US distributor. It is purportedly the first feature film to be produced in Korea by a gay director, and is one of the few Korean films to focus on queer relationships in Korea. Furthermore, one of the leads is played by the popular actor Kim Nam-gil, albeit under a pseudonym.

NY Times is carrying an article on an anti-abortion group in South Korea. Reading the article, it just seemed to scream evangelical Christianity. Evangelical/Charismatic churches have disproportionately high numbers of professionals and every Korean doctor I've seen has had Christian paraphenalia in their office. The article claims the group "has support from Christian activists, but the group says its motivations are not religious and that it has non-Christian members." I'm unconvinced.
