Buy your tickets online if you can With there being so much on offer to see and do, it is ideal to plan ahead if you can as it will enable you to find what movies you are interested in, and book them as as they are available as competition for times and slots is often fierce.

Most of the time, there are K-stars, International stars, directors, and even producers at the show! Often, they might give a speech or pose for a photo or two, so it is vital to be on time for the event and show! Even better, show up early (a good 10-15 minutes will do the trick) so you can have the best seat in town.) Give yourself some time This is one of the hottest events of the year, especially in Korean cinema , and most visitors to the event aim to watch as many events as possible, so just make sure to give yourself some breathing time between the shows, as the event is always very busy due to its increased popularity. The city of Busan is very spread out, so getting from one venue to the next may be tight. If you’re leaving less than 30 minutes between each movie, make sure you book movies at the same venue. Book your accommodations early The event is always popular, and with over 200,000 people attending the event it is not al ways easy to find a place to stay. As you can imagine, good accommodations will fill up quite quickly, especially in the Haeundae area . Make sure you book your room ahead of time so you have the best selection possible.

When it comes to fame, no corner of the world offers complete privacy. Celebrities, whether in South Korea or India, live under the unblinking gaze of cameras. The intensity of that gaze, and how it is perceived by audiences, varies across cultures. We examine whether Indian entertainment media are exhibiting signs of adopting the intrusive style of South Korean press coverage. When Admiration Turns Into Trespassing In South Korea, the issue extends beyond the media to fans crossing lines. The recent case of a trespasser being caught outside BTS member Jungkook ’s home made global headlines, reminding everyone how scary fandom can get when boundaries disappear. K-pop idols or Korean Celebrities are followed from airports to gyms, and sometimes even stalked at their residences. Photographers zoom in on private details, even when stars openly request space. For Korean celebrities, their personal lives are often a luxury. On the other hand, Bollywood has historically been somewhat distinct. Paparazzi culture in India tends to be more playful, often involving banter outside airports or gyms, where Indian actors like Ranveer Singh or Kareena Kapoor Khan wave back at the flashing cameras. But cracks are showing. Alia Bhatt called out photographers for sneaking long-lens shots into her home, while Deepika Padukone expressed anger when her daughter Dua’s picture was clicked without consent. These incidents have sparked larger debates about where the line should be drawn. Clickbait Culture: A Global Problem The digital age adds fuel to this fire. In both India and South Korea, viral clips and sensational headlines push media outlets to chase exclusive content, often at the cost of a star’s comfort. Body zoom-ins, unsolicited home shots, or extreme close-ups near cars are becoming alarmingly common. What is common between Bollywood and Korean media is the release of unverified clips or reports that compromise celebrity privacy. This is not limited to Asia; Hollywood faces similar issues. Stars often find themselves forced to set boundaries they never wanted to. For instance, BTS member Suga once had to publicly apologize over an e-scooter DUI incident , posting a handwritten note on Weverse. BTS Suga's handwritten letter (Credits: Korea JoongAng Daily) In India, Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty Kundra recently called out a false report that claimed she would attend an award show she had already declined, using her platform to shut down speculation directly.  Respect is the Real Flex So, is Indian media becoming as intrusive as Korean media? Not quite yet, but the slope is slippery. The Korean wave shows how easily admiration can blur into obsession, and Bollywood’s recent incidents suggest India may be inching closer to that space. The truth is, celebrities do not owe fans their private lives. What they owe is their craft does not commit, talent, music, films, and art. For both industries, real maturity will come when media and fans realize that respecting boundaries is the ultimate form of love. What’s your take on this obsession: Bollywood vs Korean media?
