Just watched this amazing 13min Korean short-film comedy starring LA local Kpop idol Kevin Woo! He plays both roles- kpop idol "Moon" & his Korean-American doppelganger "DJ".
Here's the official website:
Seoul Switch
You'll find the hilarious teaser on there as well. Having fallen down the kpop rabbit hole in 2019 with no plans to escape, I understood this short-film easily. The struggles of being an idol & the struggles of being a nobody. Kevin was absolutely amazing & hilarious. Not just saying that because I'm a fanboy of his lol. It's 5am here in Cali & I had to cover my mouth to keep me from dying of laughter out loud. I was nearly wheezing. The comedy & wit was so good. Kevin's over-the-top Korean accent was priceless.
It was part of the 2024 DisOrient Asian-American Film Festival of Oregon. Unfortunately, the only states that can watch this short-film & the other 5 short-films online is Oregon, Washington, California & Hawaii. It was $12 for the Korean Kaleidoscope Remix Shorts Program available on the "eventive" site. 6 days to start watching, 48hrs access once you start. "Seoul Switch" was worth it alone, but I'm going to watch the other short-film "Idol" as well. The other 4 didn't catch my interest. I donated $5 to this short-film though. Might donate more later. Would love to see it as a full-length feature film. It was a fresh take on a familiar concept.
