From NewJeans to Transit Love, 15 Hot Topics This Year
This year's stories are clear even when you look back
Meal of the year <Kimbab>
Woo Young Woo eats Kimbab every morning. As Woo Young Woo said, Kimbab is delicious. You can see the ingredients at a glance, so there is no surprise about the unexpected texture or taste. How did the new channel, drama debut writer's work <Weird Lawyer Woo Young Woo>, which started with 0.9 percent viewership, record the highest viewer rating of 17.5 percent? What is the origin of the memes and open discourse that have spread inexplicably in numbers? Woo Young Woo broke the practice and the fluke got out of the way. The drama is headed for the honest power of the drama. Ther was no way to stop using chopsticks.
View of the year <James Webb>
The current time is 8:51 p.m. on a Monday in 2022. The scientific fact that the starlight you see now started at least 2018 or hundreds millions of year ago, which is difficult to subtract, makes your head blank every time you hear it. How? Why? Where is the beginning of the universe and what is the end? James Webb, mankind's largest space telescope, has found the answer. Specialized in infrared observation, it looks further and deeper into space than any previous telescope. The target is unknown 13.8 billion years ago. Big Bang is the starting point of the space explsion. What's there.
Top 10 of the year <NewJeans>
Hegel's dialectic became clean when voices chanting "Looking For Attention" with straight hair were scattered. Min Heejin, CEO of ADOR, who discovered and debuted them, easily writes down the explanation. "If there is an existing chastity, there is anti-opposition, and then there is unity in the next step. I think what's the counter-argument of the previous [idol] groups." Excessive makeup, excessive costumes, overhated stage, exaggerated appearance. There all these at the opposite of all of this. The most natural teen of all, so-called NewJeans.
This Year's Accompaniment <Sung Si-kyung>
Intestines soup, mung tigi, suji, crucible soup... From March to the present, 56 restaurants and menus enjoyed by Sung Si-kyung for YouTube content "I'll Eat" can be divided into likes and dislikes, but I hope anyone pays attention to his accompaniment etiquette when accompanying alcohol with meals. For example, something like this. Taste the alcohol as slowly as food. Sometimes just a sip a little alcohol in your mouth and enjoy the aroma and taste. Don't drink too much to exceed your expectations for snacks. Above all, enjoy a variey of alcohol. Give me the brand that has the most left (in the store's refrigenerator)."
Pause of the year <Kakao>
The data center is out of power. Cacao stopped. KakaoTalk messages do not come and go, Kakao Taxi cannot be found, Kakao Navi does not work, Kakao Pay cannot be used for payment, and Kakao Mobility Shared Kickboard fares are confused. Everything is kakao kakao kakao. I see you standing still Sinabro cacao-soaked daily life. Eggs weren't the only thing not to put in one basket. So, there are two ways to prevent everyday life from collapsing like dominoes. Distributing your daily life or Kakao distributing servers.
Opening of the Year <Top Gun: Maverick>
The opening scene of "Top Gun: Maverick" is taken to May 16, 1986, the day "Top Gun" was released (even later audiences who were not even born at the time). The scene where Harold Paltermeier's "Top Gun Anthem" and Kenny Logins' "Danger Zone" are prepared. The background and music are all the same. How does it feel to sit on a time machine? Director Joseph Kosinski's message, "The fact that this movie is "Top Gun," and we wanted to contain the meaning that we love "Top Gun" as much as you do," led to the highest success in Paramount's history.
Literature of the Year <Hujun>
We peek at the romance in numbers through mathematician Heo Jun. He underlined his various minds expressed in his acceptance speech at the Fields Medal, the highest-ranking award given to mathematicians under the age of 40. Poetry and mathematics have similarities in nature. "Mathematicians are the last people to love chalk and blackboards," "Don't tame the sweetness of indolence and futility, overcome all kinds of violence of meaning and meaning and complete experience each day."
City of the Year <Sanpo City>
An hour and a half to commute by public transportation. An hour if you're lucky.It takes 40 minutes to drive a taxi on the late-night road that was just cut off in the hope that it would work out. As a resident of "Sanpo City" in the past, where the three siblings' terrible and lonely time overlapped between Seoul and Sanpo, he couldn't face it and turned a blind eye to "My Liberation Diary". As of 2021, the number of people moving to Seoul for commuting and commuting is 1.436,000. "Good things will happen to you today." Yeom Mi-jeong of Sanpo City said she felt better when she saw the electronic display before entering Seoul, but what would 1.43 million commuters look at and dream of liberation?
This year's hairstyle <Im Yoonchan>
Pianist pedaling in a convert. A musician who plays while recalling Ureuk, a gayageum player from the Silla Dynasty, who has only a record of sorrowful but not sad. It is the story of Lim Yoon-chan, who won the Van Clyburn Competition at the age of 18. In particular, I hope you will wait patiently for the stage video of Rachmaninoff's "Piano Concerto No. 3" at the final round held on June 17, especially in the last 42 minutes and 31 seconds. The hair that stretches out at the peak of immersion as if it were burning, is like a thunderstorm shaking the heaven and the earth.
This year's message <Finally>
Mathematician Heo Jun, the winner of the previously cited Literature of the Year, commented on his language habit of living in the United States and frequently using the adverb "extremely," vocabulary flooded in He said that he had to go out to maintain it, but his Korean kept escaping from his body. It's the same for Koreans living here in Korea to let go of Korean like the sand of a broken hourglass, so when director Park Chan-wook and writer Seo Jeong-kyung faced the beautiful vocabulary they created in "Decision to Break Up," they said, "I'm broken," and "Finally.
Ending of the Year <Documentary 3 Days>
The camera director would not be the only one who burst into tears at the moment when he handed his grandmother's yogurt to a camera director who was filling her stomach with sugar water and picking up boxes. The time was the same and different for everyone, so the 72 hours and 3 days of "Documentary 3 Days" were tearful, pleased, pathetic, and overwhelming. A total of 515,552 hours of "Three Days of Documentary," 716 episodes, ended in 15 years. It was an instant.
This year's painting <Nana's Tattoo>
The traces left after the production report of the movie "Confession" on September 20, 2022 were the spider web on Nana's left shoulder, the "1968" engraved on her right leg, the cross on her left foot, flowers on her back, birds flying on both arms, and all about Nana's tattoo. Is it a sticker that erases? Is it henna? Why did you draw it? What's the change of heart? I want to ask one thing back to the majority who forced Nana to confess. Why are you so nosy? But Nana, let me ask you one more question. Where did you do it? Please give me some recommendations.
This year's selection <Kim Shin-young>
Who is a big, friendly, and talkative figure who can succeed Song Hae, who led the citizen's stage for 34 years with the National Singing Contest? When most eyes looked at the middle-aged MC candidate, the name Kim Shin-young emerged. Like a clear spring. The reason given by KBS's Kim Sang-mi CP, who recommended the name Kim Shin-young, is simple and clear, sweeping away the ideological reasons that are easy to divide such as generational change, female comedians' stage, and changes in the times. He has a lot of experience on stage. Correct.
This year's duo <Lee Jungjae & Jung Woo Sung>
If someone asks about the textbook of the partnership, shouldn't you raise your head and let them see Lee Jung-jae and Jung Woo-sung? There is a rumor circulating between the two actors who became acquainted in the 1999 movie "No Sun." They still speak formally to each other, live next door and come and go often, and always encourage. The sincere friendship of God that arose between them is deeply embedded in the movie Hunt, which is the first partnership in 23 years. The fact that it is the first production adds strength to Lee Jung-jae's surprisingly stable production, and Jung Woo-sung, who dressed in the character Kim Jung-do's clothes in the play.
This year's true stories, "Transfer Love" and "I'm Solo"
What is love that makes you sit in front of a lover who barely broke up? What is love that makes your mouth crooked with jealousy. What is love that makes you pour out seven years of joy and sorrow in just seven days? What is love that makes you pretend to be sane and neat? What is love that makes you cry like a ruptured water pipe? What is love that reminds me of your memories and my time. The reason why I'm tired of the overflowing love story, so I peek back even when I'm covering my ears. What is love?
