‘The Old Woman with the Knife’ Review: A South Korean Assassin Drama Bogged Down By Flashbacks

Siddhant Adlakha Min Kyu-dong’s South Korean action-drama “The Old Woman with the Knife” adapts Gu Byeong-mo’s novel of the same name with results at once languid and overstuffed. While it features an enticing premise, slotting a 65-year-old woman into the underground assassin genre (a position usually reserved for grizzled men and young vixens), its story remains rooted in an inordinate amount of detail, which the film metes out in awkward ways. Of course, as with any film of this nature, it’s worth first asking whether its fireworks are worthwhile.

NewJeans’ parents accuse ADOR of “exploiting” Hanni’s residency status and “recklessly disseminating” personal information to media

NewJeans/NJZ’s parents have issued a new statement accusing ADOR of “exploiting” Hanni’s residency status in South Korea and “recklessly disseminating” her personal information to media.The statement was posted on February 12 to the NJZ PR Instagram account launched by the band’s parents, announcing that Vietnamese-Australian member Hanni has been issued a new visa on February 11. Her previous E-6 (Entertainment) visa had expired last month, which led to reports claiming that she refused to sign extension documents prepared by ADOR.“ADOR pressured both Hanni and her parents by using the sensitive issue of visas, which is naturally a delicate matter for foreign residents in Korea,” the statement read, as translated by Soompi. “They demanded her signature on an extension agreement that listed ADOR as her agency, stating that failure to comply could result in illegal residency.”NJZ’s parents also accused the company of acting “inappropriately” by “submitting personal information and documents requiring her signature to relevant institutions without her consent and only notifying her afterward”.The statement also addressed reports published by South Korean outlets that “irresponsibly used terms like ‘illegal resident’ and spread false rumours”.
