Introducing Busan

With over 3.6 million people, Busan is South Korea’s second largest city and largest seaport. Busan is known for its beaches, hot springs, nature reserves and events such as the city’s renowned international film festival held each fall.

Busan is a good destination for those seeking a more laid back atmosphere than Seoul. The city is located at the southern tip of the Korean peninsula ~ wikitravel.org/en/Busan

Busan became a well known to Malaysians as a location for tourists after the 2016 South Korean zombie apocalypse action thriller “Train to Busan”.

For a different intro to this city, I am using a drawing of the film’s megastar Gong Yoo (stage name) drawn by my friend freelance artist and lawyer by day, Lim Chin Han on Fb and @chinhan10.art.poetry on IG. See her gallery for many more amazing lifelike drawings.

This pic was drawn based on a picture from tv’s “Goblin” – Guardian: The Lonely and Great God.

The intrepid artist is also a fan and walking expert on her idol. She told me Gong Yoo is in fact is from and born in Busan.

Gong Yoo’s Hotel Room in Taiwan Costs 20 Million Won?

Mandarin Oriental Taipei Taiwan.

“Gong Yoo’s Hotel Room in Taiwan Costs 20 Million Won?” as reported by Castko via Mycen Hotel’s Hotels In The News

The South Korean mega-heart-throb and megastar of zombie blockbuster Train To Busan reportedly paid 20 million South Korean won a night for a hotel room in Taipei? That is something like RM 74000 or USD 17600 approximate a night. He is big in Taiwan, with thousands of female fans screaming outside the hotel. But still?

There is possibly something wrong with the math or it is a non standard room since his entourage consists of 15 bodyguards, his parents, people to take care of his parents, make up artists and hair stylists.

Since he is so sweet and filial to bring his aging parents along and he supports a campaign to ban animal testing in the beauty industry, I will gladly help him get a normal room for just RM 1745 at the same hotel a night via MyCen Hotels. Price was last I checked.
