Film & TV (Korea): Director Lee Joon-ik debuts vertical short-form drama “My Father’s Table,” adapted from a webtoon and released episodically on Lezhin Snack after a limited theatrical run. Pop Culture Tourism: AREX trains go Pokémon-themed from Sept. 18–Oct. 11, turning airport commutes into collectible, character-filled experiences. Global Screen Buzz: “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” sets ScreenX/4DX box office records in just 33 days, underscoring the pull of premium immersive cinema.
