Let's dive right in!

Big news for fans of both action movies and video games today, as actor Ma Dong-seok is joining the cast of the live-action Street Fighter film.

The local distributor confirmed that Ma Dong-seok will be lending his voice to the character Go-keun, the legendary martial arts master who trained both Roo and Ken.

It's a surprising twist for the actor, who's best known for his intense physical performances on screen, but industry insiders say this voice role will let him explore a whole new side of his talent.

Gokun is described as a key figure who deeply understands the brotherly bond between Rue and Ken, having raised them like family, so fans are curious to hear how Ma Dong-seok brings that gravitas to the character.

Street Fighter is set to hit theatres on October 14th, and anticipation is building to see this K-pop, er, K-action star make his mark in the gaming adaptation.

Charlie Puth brought his signature blend of smooth vocals and dazzling piano skills back to South Korea, marking his fifth visit and biggest show yet as he filled Goyang Stadium with 38,000 fans for a stunning 100-minute set.

Seong-hwa.

He is played by, um, I'm gonna just use his Hollywood name, Don Lee.

You might be familiar with him from Eternals.

Oh.

Yeah.

I mean, he, he does seem to be that role throughout, uh, his time in this film.

And oh, man, just his parting words to his wife, like, telling her what he wants her to name their child is just, again, just a brilliant performance from Don Lee, and I hope we continue to see more of him in Western media.

I think it was actually kinda sexist that he thinks that just because he's dying, he gets to name the baby.

And I think that part was, was done very well.

And then you have, uh, again, I'm very sorry if I butcher any of these names, uh, Ma- Ma Dong-seok, uh, from also in Eternals.

That's where I recognized him from.

Same.

It is a movie from Korea.

It stars Gong Yoo, Jung Yu-mi, Ma Dong-seok.

And while a zombie virus breaks out in South Korea, passengers struggle to survive on the train from Seoul to Busan.

So for reactions this week, let's start with Snowpiercer.

Yeah.

And Jacob, didn't you say that you were inspired by Don Lee for? Yes.

Yeah.

For one.

you know with shame i have to say i did see it and i don't remember but uh we all saw i think

it's just we all saw it it's a blur it's just like

but don lee is amazing in the movie yeah i guess he is he's amazing in every movie and um that's the best part about working with an artist like the difference between like say uh with last mermaid and working with jacob with last mermaid you know when you're doing your own comic there are as many surprises because obviously it's from your own brain but like I had no idea this thug was going to end up on the cover of one of the covers you know but Jacob made him so memorable and so fun like I even put him on a cover you know so those are the kind of fun things that can happen when you're working with an artist they can bring a whole nother dimension different characters oh and then Jacob also made the thugs in the background consistent Like, I remember there was one white guy with long hair, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And I started, you start, like, kind of making a story in your head about each, like, thug, you know what I mean? Which I would have never thought to do, so, yeah.

Um...

Ma Dong-seok in Train to Busan.

I had that too.

Look

[laughs]

So the, and the reason, the, the impetus for this creating nicknames as a sign of respect rather than disrespect is because Sang-hwa, um, who, who plays the Hulkster, his real name is Dong-seok Ma.

And then Soo-an Kim plays Soo-an, and she- we're gonna call her The Kid.

Uh-

I'm sure some of them were dancers.

They had to have been body artists of some kind, because yeah.

And the Hulkster was definitely a body artist.

He was the buffest Korean dude I've ever seen.

Am I being weird? Like, are those people A-list actors, or are they...

A-minus actors like Bill Skarsgard, you know, Don Lee, and I can't even remember the girl's name that was a side character in the Furiosa.

He's the

biggest name.

Yeah.

If I can put out there about another actor, Ma Dong-seok, who plays Sang-hwa, the husband of the pregnant woman, overall general badass character.

big buff dude that he actually despite you know growing up in South Korea came to the states and went to college at Columbus State Community College which is you know in Columbus Ohio so you know I can kind of claim him as an Ohioan myself And he's this big badass throughout the whole movie.

He's one of my favorite characters.

the direction more than the acting it's probably how they wanted to hype up some of the anxiety of certain moments but uh it did like not just scratch my brain it did it did like the nails on a chalkboard to my brain uh that i just don't want to keep happening so yeah we're two brave brave boys talking about how we didn't like a child actress uh here we are

they really just let anybody have a podcast huh

On the other end of that spectrum, Sang-hwa's character, or I'm sorry, Sang-hwa, played by Ma Dong-seok, who is an Ohioan, as I said, is fucking very cool.

He's so awesome.
