Lee Min-ho and Ahn Hyo-seop on why they would choose Blackpink's Jisoo as their ally when fighting monsters
Popular South Korean stars Ahn Hyo-seop and Lee Min-ho brought their smiles, charm and wit as they greeted reporters in Singapore on Tuesday (Jul 29) as part of promotions for their upcoming movie Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy. Singapore marks the movie's first and only international promotional stop outside of South Korea. The two were joined by director Kim Byung-woo as they fielded questions at Marina Bay Sands. Following the press conference, they are set to attend special fan screenings of Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy at selected Golden Village outlets. In Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy, Ahn Hyo-seop plays Kim Dok-ja, an ordinary office worker who finds himself battling monsters when his favourite novel comes to life. During the press conference, the 30-year-old, who has seen a rise in his global stardom following roles in 2022's Business Proposal and the smash hit movie KPop Demon Hunters, was asked if he had difficulties playing a "plain-looking character". Clad in a sleek, all-black ensemble, Ahn was the antithesis of "plain-looking" and cooly replied: "I don't think I'm an outstanding person. "Since the story revolves around being ordinary, I asked myself 'What is ordinary?' and 'Who am I?', and I came to the conclusion that my existence itself is ordinary. If I think of myself as outstanding and special, then I won't even be able to start this project. So I worked on balancing out and blurring the boundary between what's ordinary and extraordinary." Co-starring in the movie is Hallyu icon Lee Min-ho, who plays the brooding Yu Jung-hyeok – the original hero of Dok-ja's favourite novel. The 38-year-old echoed Ahn's sentiments of not feeling like an outstanding person. "In the original web novel, Yu Jung-hyeok was described as having an outstanding and beautiful face that can win over anyone. That was the most difficult part of acting," revealed Lee. "I consider myself an ordinary person because I believe people should be defined by their internal selves and not their external selves. And I believe I'm internally an ordinary person. Knowing that made it so hard to portray such an outstanding and extraordinary person [like Yu Jung-hyeok]." With Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy being an adaptation of a megahit franchise that has seen over 2.5 billion views worldwide across its web novel and web comic adaptations, questions have been raised about whether the movie will be a faithful adaptation of its source material. Director Kim Byung-woo, who won numerous accolades for his 2013 movie The Terror Live, said that there were "inevitable changes" because of the different mediums. "What I focused on the most was 'How can the story be entertaining and how can audiences find it exciting?' As such, I tried not to get too restrained by the original story," said Kim. "That being said, whatever you imagined from the web novel, we did portray and bring it to the world of the movie. I just want you to sit down, relax and have fun." In a moment that brought laughter to attendees of the press conference, all three men admitted that if the events of Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy became reality, they would pick Lee Ji-hye, a character played by Blackpink member Jisoo in the movie, to be their ally. And it's not exactly for her skill set. "Instead of her weapon, I'll listen to her songs," quipped Lee Min-ho. "Her music will be the biggest power to me." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Golden Village Pictures (@goldenvillagepictures) Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy will be released for general audiences in Singapore on Jul 31. It follows the story of Kim Dok-ja (played by Ahn Hyo-seop), an ordinary office worker and the only reader of a little-known web novel. Disappointed with the novel's ending, Dok-ja sends an angry message to its author, only to have the novel's apocalyptic world suddenly become reality. When the novel's original hero, Yu Jung-hyeok (played by Lee Min-ho), appears before him, Dok-ja must use his unique knowledge of the story to survive and bring forth a new ending.

Spotted a huge red ball in town? Here's why 195 of them have rolled out across Singapore with more to come
While most of us were fast asleep on Jul 12, a fleet of 100 lorries and 100 workers fanned out across the island from midnight. Their mission: To plant a lot of giant red balls all over Singapore, from neighbourhoods to schools and the civic district. The next morning, Singaporeans woke up to find these pops of red in their midst. Stamped with the SG60 logo and measuring between 1.5 and 5 metres across, they made schoolchildren stop in their tracks and office workers look up from their phones. For Adrian Tan, the chief executive officer of Adplanet Group, it was a thrill to watch the city react. 'I did not mention this campaign to any of my friends, but I'm happy to record about five or six sightings a day, where my friends go: Oh, I spotted this red ball. Have you seen it?' The balls are part of the United As One Red Dot campaign, which marks both SG60 and UOB's 90th anniversary. Of the 195 balls installed as of Tuesday (Jul 29), six are in the bank's corporate colour, blue, while the rest are red. By far the largest SG60 out-of-home (OOH) installation – industry-speak for advertisements placed in public spaces – the campaign was conceived by Adrian Tan together with Francis Tan, chief executive officer of Germs Digital, and Jayne Kwek, director of 3 Aces Advertising. 'Singapore is a beautiful island with so much greenery, and it's actually the perfect canvas for an art installation. The idea was to paint the island with giant red balls that signify our little red dot,' said Kwek. She would know a thing or two about OOH advertising. As the former CEO of Moove Media, the advertising arm of ComfortDelGro, she was the woman behind the herd of 'cows' that grazed all over Singapore in 2005. 'The cows did the same job in that it was creativity in its simplest form. We didn't have to make it too elaborate; the red balls were a symbol that Singaporeans can identify with.' 'IT WAS REALLY QUITE A JOURNEY' What's one object that can unify an entire country? That was the key question the trio wrestled with during the conceptualisation phase, said Francis Tan. The Merlion was the obvious national symbol, and the city skyline felt fitting in telling Singapore's transformation story. But in the end, the answer was far more obvious. 'The red dot symbolises how Singapore struggled to become what it is today. We wanted to flood the entire city with that reminder, similar to Yayoi Kusama's dotted pumpkins all around Japan,' he explained. The simplicity of the mnemonic belies the effort behind it. Designing a ball to withstand heat, rain and wind was no small feat. As the air inside expands and contracts with the weather, it has to be made of tri-layered PVC with a little elasticity. They also need weekly maintenance to keep them looking plump, and replacements are deployed within 24 hours if necessary. The bigger challenge was the red tape, starting with an engineering certification to prove the balls could be safely secured. The 5-metre blue ball outside UOB Centre, for instance, had to be anchored with a 2-tonne weight to prevent it from being blown into the Singapore River. Then came the arduous process of securing approvals. Because the balls were installed on both public and private land, the team had to obtain clearance from a long list of authorities, ranging from government agencies to mall operators. 'It was really quite a journey. Thankfully, our stakeholders were all very supportive because they wanted to see the red balls as part of the SG60 celebration,' said Kwek. Making sure the heartlands were not left out was just as important, added Adrian Tan, who wanted Singaporeans in every corner of the country to feel a sense of national pride when they saw them. 'This was by no means easy, but we took a bottom-up approach by speaking to many MPs. They were very encouraging and said, we love it. Let's go.' PAINTING THE TOWN RED These giant balls will remain on display across Singapore until Sep 14, and passers-by can join weekly contests by answering quiz questions or snapping Instagram-worthy photos. Since their debut, the giant balls have been a hit, especially with the little ones. Babies have been spotted reaching out from their strollers to poke them, while families get creative with forced-perspective photography. 'I think this campaign gave us the opportunity to show that Singaporeans can be fun and creative too,' said Kwek. Even office workers out on their lunch break can't resist stopping for a midday selfie. For Francis Tan, seeing people pose with the ball near Tampines Mall and Century Square – his old hangouts as a secondary school student – was a full-circle moment. 'I'm going there to see it this weekend and take a photo with my daughter. It's a place I grew up in, and I'd like to explore the area as I haven't been there in a while,' he said. Deploying the campaign has also taken him to heartlands in the north and west for the first time in years, renewing his appreciation for how much these neighbourhoods have evolved. 'I realised that heartlands are now very robust, from their wet markets to the shopping malls. So what can't we achieve?' The response has been so overwhelming that more balls are being added beyond the original 180. Kwek is working with the Singapore Land Authority to place one in the middle of a green field in Ghim Moh, while Adrian Tan, ever the ad-man, has bigger plans. 'I would like to see a giant red ball on top of a bus shelter in Orchard Road or Shenton Way, and LTA is talking to us about this possibility.'
