A few family photos

A rare outing as a family with me, Tae Hyun and Da Hye at the optimistically named Seoul Forest. In reality it is a small park bisected by a couple of highways which you have to cross to get from one part of the park to another. No grand stands of cedars, pines, oaks, no jungle to get lost in, didn't even find a broad stretch of bamboo, just some open spaces, gardens and the lake behind us. There was also a fountain and a couple of bored looking deer fenced into a small area. Masses of people crowded to the deer, all with the same comment... "kwiwoyo" (aren't they cute?) Of course every outing represents an opportunity for photos, which in the end seem to be almost the main reason for going out.

The map and now looking more official with a hat ...

Here's the map. My name tag says, Sky Diver. No idea what it means. Martin, the other guy with me in the pic below is however, Scuba Diver. The ad has come and gone on Korean TV. I didn't get to see it so missed what was most likely a brief, insignificant but nonetheless necessary for authenticity glimpse of myself on the box. Recently completed another where I was cast as a football (soccer) coach in a rather silly parody of another advertisement. This should be screening on MBC currently but I can't be bothered watching the channel on the offchance I might see it.

Something you thought you would never see...

These photos are going back a few months now but I just received them recently. They are from the set of the Hanaro advertisement, that epic shooting of over 12 hours for which we were promised overtime that we never received. Anyway, the set is the control room of a rocket launch. I'm out of the picture (to the left) standing in front of the transparent world map in the picture above.
