‘I Am Solo' to delete scenes of cast member arrested for sex crime
The suspect surnamed Park had appeared in the past editions of the ongoing series — aired on ENA and SBS Plus — and also in its spinoff series "I Am Solo: Love Continues." The producers of the "I Am Solo" said they will edit out the suspect's image from the show as much as they can, adding that they learned of the allegations and the court-issued arrest warrant via news reports.
Park is believed to have attacked a woman in her 20s at a parking lot in Mapo-gu, western Seoul, at around 3:30 a.m. on Saturday. He is accused of quasi-rape, a crime equivalent to rape that refers to sexual intercourse by taking advantage of someone who is unconscious or unable to resist.
He was arrested on the spot by police, and the court issued a warrant for his official arrest Monday.
"I Am Solo" has aired since 2021, following non-celebrity singles through romantic and personal interactions in a reality TV format that spans multiple seasons. The arrest has cast a shadow over the show's reputation, with producers pledging to act responsibly in managing the situation on-screen and off.

Park Chan-wook's 'Killing Game'
Director and cast discuss 'No Other Choice,' Park's adaptation of Donald Westlake's novel, at a Seoul press event In a packed screening room at CGV Yongsan on Tuesday, Park Chan-wook and his cast appeared bemused by the turnout. Nearly 300 reporters had gathered for Park's first Korean feature in three years — a project that, he revealed, had been percolating since he first encountered Donald Westlake's 1997 novel "The Ax" two decades ago. "The day has finally come," Park said, with the particular mixture of formality and wit that characterizes his public appearances. The film, retitled "No Other Choice," will premiere at Venice next month — the first Korean entry in competition since 2012 — before traveling to Toronto, New York, and opening the Busan International Film Festival's 30th edition on Sept. 17. What drew Park to Westlake's novel wasn't its mystery, but its inexorable logic. "Most mysteries are whodunits. Once you know, you're done," he explained. "But this starts with someone determined to kill. It shows how society's machinery pushes an ordinary person to that point. His victims are all versions of himself." Park revealed he'd initially considered naming the film "Mogaji," Korean slang for getting axed, before settling on the current title. "The original title was 'The Ax,' but in Korean we'd say 'getting the neck' — our version of getting axed," Park explained. "It felt too violent. The new title carries this sense of rationalization, making excuses. It applies to everyone -- even those doing the firing. Everyone's trapped, claiming they literally had no choice." The trailer screened for the press suggests Park has tapped into the absurdist vein that runs through his filmography. Lee Byung-hun, playing a laid-off manager at a paper manufacturing company, appears in one shot performing what might be a bizarre self-help ritual, tapping his temple with disturbing intensity. In another sequence, he raises an enormous ceramic planter above his head — presumably to brain someone — while water streams comically down his face. "I asked Park if I could play it funny," Lee recalled of his first script reading. "There were so many darkly comic moments, I wondered if I was misreading the tone. He said, 'The funnier, the better.'" The cast hardly needed convincing when Park came calling. "I didn't even know what role I'd play," Lee Sung-min said. "It was Park Chan-wook. Of course I'd do it." Son Ye-jin agreed: "Working with Park, starring opposite Lee Byung-hun — I'd have regretted passing this up." The production's obsessiveness emerged as a leitmotif during the press conference. Park and his team constructed an entire house, which he described as a "bastardized European-Korean hybrid from the '70s," selecting each plant in the garden with taxonomic precision. They splurged to record the score with London's Contemporary Orchestra. ("We saved on everything else," Park quipped, "including what we paid the actors.") Lee Byung-hun, who hadn't worked with Park on a feature since "JSA" 24 years ago, seemed genuinely awed by the director's process. "During post-production, watching him discover details on the big screen that he'd missed in editing — tiny expressions, color gradations — I understood what it takes to be a master. Also, why I'll never direct." Then came the inevitable streaming-era question: Why theaters over streaming? Park stood firm. "Call me an originalist, but cinema means the big screen. Every sound we placed, every color we calibrated in the frame's corner — it requires that scale, those speakers, that captive darkness. Otherwise, why bother?"

Jiho artisan Park Gap-soon, metal artist Lee Yoon-jeong bridge time through artisanal flow and harmony
As the Yeol Foundation and Chanel mark their fourth year of collaboration aimed at preserving and elevating traditional Korean craftsmanship, two standout artisans are bringing the theme 'Nature, As It Is' to life. Jiho artisan Park Gap-soon, named artisan of the year, and metal craft artist Lee Yoon-jeong, young craftsperson of the year, both selected by the foundation, are the latest honorees in the Chanel X Yeol Project, which opens its annual exhibition on Thursday at Yeol Bukchonga in Seoul. Curated by internationally acclaimed designer Teo Yang, the show runs through Oct. 11 and highlights the harmony and flow between tradition and contemporary design. Park, a designated intangible cultural heritage artisan, works with jiho, a traditional Korean papier-mache technique that uses recycled hanji paper mixed with glue to create functional objects. Her latest pieces draw inspiration from minhwa, or Korean folk painting, featuring tigers and magpies — symbols of protection and good fortune. 'My favorite piece is a tiger that emits smoke when blown into, reminiscent of the saying, 'Back when tigers smoked tobacco,'' Park said. 'It connects the past and the present, especially as these animals are trending again thanks to 'KPop Demon Hunters.'' For Park, the collaboration with Teo Yang was eye-opening. 'I used to think of minhwa purely as traditional art,' she said. 'But Yang saw how it could be interpreted for modern use. That insight helped me bridge my craft with today's lifestyle.' Lee, who explores mundane and often overlooked objects through metal, took on the challenge of building her own casting system to create furniture made of tin — an uncommon feat for individual artists in her field. 'Casting is usually done in factories, and it's difficult to access those systems as an independent artist,' she said. 'This time, I wanted to take full control. That process of trial, error and persistence left a strong impression on me.' Both artists emphasize sustainability as a central part of their practice. Park uses all-natural materials like seaweed glue and perilla oil for finishes, saying, 'Jiho is inherently eco-friendly. If something is used for a long time, that's already helping the environment.' Lee echoed that sentiment: 'Anything well-made will last. Even if I'm not explicitly upcycling, I try to make work that won't be discarded.' As a cultural heritage title holder, Park is also focused on passing down the tradition. 'Most of my students are older, and I worry about generational transmission,' she said. 'We need more young people interested in tradition.' Asked what message she hopes to share with audiences, Park pointed to the importance of hanji, which Korea is currently seeking to register as UNESCO cultural heritage. 'Without hanji, crafts like jiho and paper weaving can't survive,' she said. 'I hope more people come to appreciate it.' For Lee, craft is a conversation. 'I like working with things people often take for granted — like nails — and turning them into something beautiful,' she said. 'It's a way to reconnect with the everyday.' Despite challenges, Lee believes Korean crafts have always been exceptional. 'The world is only now discovering what we've always done well,' she said. 'We don't need to change — we just need to keep going.' yoohong@

South Korean found dead in Cambodian scam compound, signs of torture reported
The body of a South Korean man has been discovered in an alleged Cambodian scam compound, wrapped in blankets and plastic bags, his face swollen and bruised, indicating he may have been beaten to death. Cambodian police said the body was found Thursday in Kampot province, inside a large dumpster alongside another victim. South Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed one of the dead as a Korean national surnamed Park. The ministry said it immediately requested a full investigation from Cambodian authorities and is providing consular support to Park's family, although officials noted that "confirming further details has been difficult." What happened to Park appears bound up in the shadowy world of cybercrime compounds. The site where his body was discovered is one of dozens of massive operations in Cambodia reportedly run by Chinese organized crime groups. These compounds, often sealed off and heavily guarded, are infamous for voice phishing and fraudulent investment scams. Park is believed to have been held inside before being killed by the gang. The description of his body paints a grim picture. Local investigators reported extensive bruising and bloodstains, with swelling that suggests he endured sustained violence. The brutality echoes accounts from survivors of these scam compounds. One 28-year-old South Korean man who recently escaped told South Korean media, 'Chinese gang members will kill someone easily if money is involved.' He described beatings, electric shock and waterboarding as routine. Amnesty International estimates that more than 50 such scam compounds operate across Cambodia. Rights groups and local media alike describe them as places where national law enforcement has little reach, functioning almost as self-contained criminal enclaves. Local reports suspect that an unspecified number of South Koreans may be trapped inside these compounds, deceived by job postings advertising 'high-paying overseas employment' only to find themselves trafficked into forced labor once they have arrived. Data obtained by the office of Rep. Kim Geon from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs shows that the number of South Koreans reported kidnapped or detained in Cambodia rose from 21 in 2023 to 221 in 2024. In the first half of 2025 alone, officials estimate 212 cases, suggesting this year's total could reach double last year's figure. Despite the scale of the crisis, South Korea has struggled to intervene. Officials acknowledge that Cambodian scam compounds often operate beyond effective state control and that Seoul lacks investigative authority on the ground. At present only one South Korean police officer is stationed at the embassy in Phnom Penh. Victims who contact the embassy are advised to report directly to Cambodian police, as the embassy cannot carry out rescue missions or investigations on its own.
