On a recent episode of MBC's variety show I'm Sunny Thank You, Kang joined fellow actresses Kim Bo-mi and Kim Min-young, along with comedian Lee Eun-ji, on a trip to Mount Beizi in Guangxi, China.
The group enjoyed
cup noodles at an altitude of 1,100 metres (3,600ft). When Kim Bo-mi mentioned that Kang had not eaten instant noodles in years, Kang replied, 'The last time was after my wedding, so it's been about four years.'
Lee Eun-ji reacted in disbelief, asking how it was possible to avoid instant noodles for that long.
'I've never been a huge fan,' Kang replied, but her blissful expression at the smell of the noodles suggested otherwise, drawing laughter from viewers.

Shanghai arts festival books world-class acts to foster cultural tourism

Shanghai has invited world-class musicians, singers, dancers and actors to a festival that aims to consolidate its status as a major international tourist destination and propel the growth of the local economy. A total of 1,200 shows from operas and symphonies to ballets and musicals would be staged during the month-long China Shanghai International Arts Festival (CSIAF) starting on October 17, local authorities said on Thursday. More than half of the major performances would feature foreign artists, and the festival was expected to attract thousands of international tourists, they said. 'The art shows will connect the city with the world, and innovative performances will drive foot traffic,' said Li Ming, president of the CSIAF, a unit of the festival's host, the Shanghai Administration of Culture and Tourism, at a press conference. 'The traffic will eventually be translated into Shanghai's allure to international tourists.' He did not estimate how many inbound tourists the event could draw, adding that Shanghai's ultimate goal was to make the city a magnet for the world's top performers. Last year, the festival lured 20,000 foreign tourists to see international artists such as French pianist Alexandre Kantorow and bass-baritone opera singer Bryn Terfel. Li said the Wiener Philharmoniker, Stuttgart Ballet and American violinist Joshua Bell were among the top artists slated to appear this year. 'Highbrow performances are the foundation of the internationally renowned art festival,' he added.

Dongji Rescue movie review: Chinese historical epic is thrilling yet preposterous

3/5 stars On October 1, 1942, the Japanese cargo liner Lisbon Maru was secretly transporting more than 1,800 British prisoners of war across the East China Sea when it was torpedoed by an American submarine. More than 800 POWs either drowned or were shot by Japanese soldiers as they attempted to escape, and close to 400 men were rescued from the water by courageous Chinese fishermen who came to their aid from a village on Dongji island in the nearby Zhoushan Archipelago. Play Recounting the story from the point of view of the villagers, the film, directed by Guan Hu and Fei Zhenxiang, is by turns thrilling and ludicrous, as historical fact is reshaped into a bombastic saga of defiance and selflessness. Brothers Ah Bi (Zhu Yilong) and Ah Dang (Leo Wu Lei) are descended from pirates and considered outsiders by the residents of the island, despite being taken in and raised by village elder Old Wu (Ni Dahong).
