they may be a boy group but for their country's military not to mention many compatriots they are able bodied men. now with the new deferment for k. pop stars or the singing sensation's b.t.s. being unfairly advantaged were. all south korea's physically fit young men must serve in uniform a legacy of the korean war which started 70 years ago and technically south and north korea have yet to make peace. and the army life was quickly closing in on the group's oldest member known as gen just 2 days before he turns 28 the laws upper limit for beginning service parliament cleared the way for a 2 year deferment. other heartthrobs didn't have that luxury in 20131

of the country's biggest k. pop stars known as rain was discharged from the army after serving his time. in sports stars enjoy their own special rules so on here i'm in a footballer currently playing for tottenham hotspur was exempted from service because he'd won a medal at the asian games but he still had to complete basic training which he did last year when the covert pandemic conveniently interrupted the premier league season. so whatever they decide to do. 2 more years to set more industry records and break more hearts until their national service is supposed to begin and the music's over. journalist frank smith joins me now from seoul with small frank how is military service viewed in south korea.

well it kind of has a mix perspective of of people on the one hand it's viewed as kind of a rite of passage for young men between 18 and 20 to serve their proximate 2 years in military service here but at this same time it's viewed by many as kind of an interruption in young people's lives in careers a previous president of south korea no young even call military service a waste of time just to give you an idea of you know what that interruption really means for for the younger generation of men here in south korea with this in the background exemptions were already available before exceptional sportspersons musicians but in the case of b.t.s. here the government has gone in front of defilement what is the message that the government is giving out. well what is same with the passage of this law

is that it views. are popular musicians in entertainers now if you use this as a as a contribution to the country's so-called quote unquote national pristine. if we look at b.t.s. right now they have 2 songs on the billboard top 10 number one is a new song the just entered the billboard charts this week called life goes on in previously there's some dynamite occupied top position on billboard for a number of weeks earlier this year b.t.s. is also remember the number one act worldwide and here in social media are usually the most popular band in the world in addition quantity didley b.t.s. has generated $1400000000.00 in income for the country so its contribution to the country is really

a unique thing that the government wanted to recognize here with this so-called e.t.s. law which will also 'd be applied to other popular entertainers and franco where was the public on this debate. well fans of course were vocal in their relief they had pointed out that previously b.t.s. it said that they were willing to do military service but i also talked to some young people here specifically young men that had already concluded their military service and they were a little bit resentful they suggested you know everybody should really have to do this every able bodied young man should young men should really have to do this and were a bit resentful that some were getting off and there's also this concern especially a political divide in south korea between those and you north korea as a serious threat and they say if you let you know young people off military service

trying in all ways to understand this new culture. thought you are not a visitor not a guest you want to become a citizen. in for migrants your platform for reliable information. welcome to news from the world of arts and culture free decades after the release of the godfather 3 movie a new recount and hopefully shiny a version has been released or about that in a minute also coming up in the next quarter and. a new exhibition of the photographic. who in the post-war years pioneered a brand new genre documentation. and the

remarkable tiny worlds of miniature. in the museum he created himself in front of. but we begin at the movies of course many cinemas around the world are closed at the moment but there are movies being released although this one isn't exactly new director francis ford coppola likes to revisit his films and 30 years after the release of the godfather part 3 he has been tinkering with this one the result has a new name the godfather code on the death of michael corleone. heres some classic cino for our i was out. you. know i love it when they speak like that my colleague a very good that is here with the details a new version of the godfather part 3 was the original actually in need of

improvement well that depends a little bit on who you are asked some people think that the original is under appreciated because they had to exist alongside 2 bonafide a masterpieces in godfather one and godfather 2 both of those won best picture oscars and together garnered 9 oscars the godfather part 3 got 0 oscars the general consensus is that it was by comparison a disappointment with a convoluted plot and some mediocre acting not all in particular from the director's 18 year old daughter sofia coppola yes she got some really bad critics actually did she did then that eventually prompted her probably to give up acting in take up directing of course she was very successful with the virgin suicides lost in translation she has more than retained her self and it has to be said that the role was key but it was quite

a small role i think that people back then were quite hyper critical because it was the director's daughter ok what's the new movie like doing. it's improved well copula himself says it's an entirely new experience that is a bit of an exaggeration it's 12 minutes shorter and basically the same story to an alternate ending its pension that's good in the movie any stephanie worth a 2nd look or indeed a 1st look many people out there might not have seen it yet but most reviews of the new version say it's different it's maybe somewhat improved but basically it's much the same but it remains a good movie by any standards ok now there's another story from the movie world that's hitting headlines at the moment that's for actor elliot paige best known for playing the lead role in the 2007 offbeat coming of age drama juno fantastic movie and currently in the netflix series brad academy announced via social media

a legend around themselves although their faces remained largely unknown here's how grass self-portrait. begin deafen also so would have a shawl i. would like a self-taught they were they didn't have a studio. legend has it that in the early days it would go to exhibition openings with no film in his camera and pretend to take pictures just to make himself known . the new generation of artists was rising to prominence including klein who was just embarking on his blew apart. i think. all what's interesting is that today of course we see the likes of andy warhol robert rauschenberg tricia brown and nicky disown phyla stars but back then they were just young people experimenting with new ideas. these images these photographs were basically visual calling cards designed to raise the profile of it

the. show kenda were fixtures of this vibrant scene. they accompanied warhol and his entourage wherever they went even into that hotel room they shared in the artist's lives has shrunk with swiss painter and sculptor eva have played. sean candour photographed thousands of artworks advance and landmark exhibitions of travel card movements of the era is shaun kindly in the scrap yard where he collected the components for his kinetic sculptures. the geos pictures chart not just the dynamic developments in art but also in the audiences for that's all. the lens has disappeared and shot and one when you look at the images you can see that the audience going to eve klein performance say was dressed up as though they were going to the opera well you know where i was just

a few years later and holds flowers painting exhibition in paris attracted a very different crowd and a much younger and edgier crowd and he. walked it. another renowned artist shank kendo works with in the late sixty's was christo who together with his later wife was working on the monument all wrapped coast in a stray and. while she can and documented the art of others the photographs themselves were also . the 2 photographers parted ways 973 sean who died in 2006 stored that body of work in his new york apartment while some folks who cross were published and helped popularize. most of them languish security the rediscovering

of this extraordinary archive after 3 decades is a gift to 20th century art history. museum incident is hoping to open again before christmas but nothing is show in these unpredictable times but we'll keep you updated hit on day w. now and interior design a done oil man has very steady hands that's because he's a miniature iest he creates tiny versions of famous and sometimes not so famous places which he displays in his own museum in yellow in france the work requires lots of patience to with his creations requiring a lot lot of precision work which could take months the end products are amazing take a look at this. seen the renowned restaurant in paris

is known around the world. but why do they have a ready made tables here when there are neither way to snow get. this mini version of the famous restaurant in the french capital was created by done oh man it took him a year to finish the handmade miniature. i mean you're telling me he's the new prime minister is an art form has existed for centuries and can even be found in the ancient egyptian pyramids. in the 17th and 18th centuries when you had miniature paintings which usually depicted daily life. disappearing technique but also a 3 dimensional in many other the ban on they are quite. intimate 1005 done omar opened his museum of miniatures in the house of leon's historic district it was here in francis 3rd largest city that he arrived for an exhibition in 1989 bringing

along 3 trucks bearing tiny artworks he immediately fell in love with the city. from an area of 2000 square meters visitors can see over 100 extremely realistic miniature scenes built by various european many tourists though the majority were made by done on more himself. oh my peripheral and you have i think the miniature of the ballyhoo is particularly beautiful because it really depicts the cityscape of lunar which you can see through the windows of the opera house but of course on . my favorite miniature is this leon bistro the whole scenery is full of little details and it's very precise in its depiction what really impresses me is the light as well as the individual objects in the room you can see how much work has been put into it. in addition to scenes from done on mars. basically replicated half the world. but he's not short of ideas for future miniature projects.
