The tweet translates to: "After School War Activities" 2023 / Original title: 방과 후 전쟁활동 Part 1 Script: Lee Nam-kyu Directed by: Song Young-il Starring: Shin Hyun-soo, Lee Seung-won, Lim Se-mi, Kwon Eun-bin, Kim Min-cheol, So-hee, Kim Soo-kyum pic.x.com/D3PfIPABsz

The tweet translates to: "In the confession history, the couple Kim Ji-young born in '82 appears (crying). My heart stops at the sudden appearance of Gong Yoo."

Here’s the translation of the tweet: "I am continuously participating in the #KoreanLiteratureBookClub, reading Fifty People → Kim Ji-young, Born 1982 → The Boy Comes. I feel every year that my ability to read Korean is improving, even as part of the archive group. The refreshing feeling of connecting the dots between the social and historical backgrounds I learned in the study and what I see in movies, dramas, and news is incredible."

The tweet translates to: "Born in '82, this is exactly what a normally kind husband is like in 'Kim Ji-young, Born 1982.' To his wife who is exhausted from parenting, he says, 'I'll take paternity leave. I have some books I want to read too.'"

"I finished reading 'Kim Ji-young, Born 1982.' I thought I had encountered feminist literature through 'I Wanted to Know About You,' but this was something else with its direct expression and nonfiction-like quality... Feminism is so sensitive that it's hard to share my thoughts. Anyway, it wasn't a book to read when my mental state was weak."

Out of the 16 films being screened, 8 are Japanese films, ranging from Mikio Naruse's "Goodbye to You" (1930) to Jun Funabashi's "A Workplace" (2020). You can see the changes over 90 years, which is wonderful. There are 2 Korean films: Kim Ki-young's "The Housemaid" (1960) and Kim Do-young's "Kim Ji-young, Born 1982" (2020). The rest are European works, etc.

I'm surprised that "Kim Ji-young, Born 1982" is being repeatedly summoned. Labor in Japan is quite gendered, but criticism is hardly heard. Rather, there is a strong discourse that affirms it as "culture," leading to a tendency to accept it as a matter of course. It seems that Korean novels and films are providing a good stimulus.

On December 9th, I will be attending an event hosted by students from Nihon University College of Art. The theme of the film festival is "Labor and Gender." The film "Kim Ji-young, Born 1982" delves into the topic of "labor," which was not present in the original novel. I want to talk about how the Dongdaemun Market, where Kim Ji-young's mothers worked, was actually a factory. I hope to discuss such topics as well. x.com/nua_eigasai/st…

Here’s the translation of the tweet: "Minister of Finance Satsuki Katayama, I think everything regarding #GenderEquality is a waste. No one wants to elevate the status of women, and I don't think about men in that context either. Is it really necessary to have a screening of 'Kim Ji-young, Born 1982' or to make kimchi... or to learn about the culture of a certain country?"

"Where can I find free streaming of classical music at the end of summer? A thorough investigation of video subscription services like U-NEXT, Hulu, and Netflix. [Kim Ji-young, Pe Su-bin, Classical Music] mirukuma.com/natsuclassic/"

The tweet translates to: "I had been thinking that I would read the original work of 'Kim Ji-young, Born 1982' since I watched it the day before yesterday, but I haven't done that yet, so I decided to watch the movie instead... It really resonated with me, and I found myself crying tears of regret after a long time... It shows not only the perspective of the protagonist but also the viewpoints of the women around her, and I appreciated how it depicted the confusion and realizations of her husband and father as well."

The tweet translates to: "Starring Jung Yu-mi, 'Kim Ji-young, Born 1982.' I requested JO1's 'Handz In My Pocket' through the USEN support activity request! usen.oshireq.com/song/6773855 #USENSupportActivityRequest #SupportRequest #JO1"

The tweet translates to: "What are Debut's Plan, IDID, Papikya, Kim Ji-young, and Seok-jun...?"

The tweet translates to: "I prefer the book 'Kim Ji-young, Born 1982.' The movie feels polished. But I still like watching it."
