Pop titans BTS’ member RM has narrated an audio guide for the selected 10 pieces of the upcoming exhibition both in English and Korean.

According to Korean news portal Yonhap News, his narration will be available at LACMA and the web site of the MMCA. About 130 modern Korean artworks, including some from donations of late Samsung Chairman Lee Kun Hee, will go on display in the United States next week, organizers said Tuesday.

According to the report, the exhibit, titled “The Space Between: The Modern in Korean Art,” will run from Sunday to February 19 next year at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in Los Angeles, California, according to the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea (MMCA). It is the first overseas exposition held in a western country, covering Korean modern art made from 1897-1965, the MMCA said.

The private collection from the late Samsung chairman includes Koreans’ favorite paintings, like “Children on the Yard” by Park Su Geun and “White Ox” by Lee Jung Seop, along with a self portrait by Na Hye Seok, Korea’s first female oil painter, and “Rondo” and “Mountain and Moon” by Kim Whan Ki. “The Space Between” is part of Hyundai Motor’s project to showcase artworks and programs supporting the field of art and technology in partnership with LACMA.

Last month, Laal Singh Chaddha flopped disappointing both the audience and the makers of the film. Despite starring superstar Aamir Khan, it did not even open well. The ‘boycott brigade’ took credit for it and many believed that the negativity spread by the group prevented moviegoers from watching the film in cinemas.

This boycott had set its eyes next on Brahmastra, which releases on September 9. The boycott calls for this film got stronger as the release date neared. But to their horror, the ticket sales, too, increased with each passing day! Hence, does it prove that the whole boycott campaign is irrelevant?

Trade veteran Taran Adarsh observed, “This time if you see, the boycott calls are more aggressive for Brahmastra. But I have always maintained that be it IPL, weather conditions, examination, or boycott calls, nothing can harm a film if the content is strong. Padmaavat (2018) released amid a lot of tensions. But it didn’t get affected. However, in the case of Laal Singh Chaddha, since the content was weak, these voices become sharper.”

Girish Johar, producer and film business analyst, agreed, “There’s a large difference between the number of people who buy tickets to watch a film and those who call for a boycott. Such protests haven’t mattered even in the past. Even Padmaavat faced issues but it was such a big hit.”

On the same lines, trade analyst Atul Mohan added, “It always was irrelevant. It’s just that the films, which were being released, were bad and the boycott brigade took credit for it. But the fact is that even if those films had not been ‘boycotted’, woh filmein flop hi hone waali thi. Acchi film ko koi rok nahi sakta hai aur buri film ko koi chala nahi sakta hai.”

Raj Bansal, the owner of Entertainment Paradise in Jaipur, thundered, “Bakwaas hai sab. This boycott campaign has been created by sick minds. Who cares what they say?”

South Korean network KBS has confirmed that female pop group BLACKPINK’s recent release ‘Pink Venom’ has been deemed ineligible for the “Music Bank” chart.

According to Korean media portal Soompi, ‘Pink Venom’ has notably been absent from the weekly chart rankings on KBS 2TV’s Music Bank (which the music show refers to as “K-Chart”) ever since its release last month, even as two of BLACKPINK’s older songs —”Lovesick Girls” and “As If It’s Your Last“—made the latest chart at No. 38 and No. 40 respectively.

The report cites the reason being the mention of a luxury brand name (Celine) in the song’s lyrics, which was determined to be a violation of Article 46 of the Broadcast Act. Since the group’s label YG Entertainment chose not to amend the lyrics, ‘Pink Venom’ was not included in the “Music Bank” K-Chart rankings.

Notably, the song topped other weekly music award programs such as MBC’s Show Champion, Mnet’s M Countdown and SBS’s Inkigayo. Meanwhile, BLACKPINK is currently gearing up for the release of their second full-length album BORN PINK, featuring the title track ‘Shut Down’ on September 16.
