Mbappe angry at Japanese reporter's sarcasm of Lee Kang-in?

A video of Kylian Mbappe (25, Paris Saint-Germain) wrapping his arms around Lee Kang-in (22, Mallorca) in response to a sarcastic question from a Japanese journalist has been revealed to be a fake video manipulated by artificial intelligence (AI). It was a real press conference, but it was a video of Mbappe answering questions about his contract at the Euro 2020 press conference two years ago. Instead of the player's voice asking the question, a 'fake question voice' was created and edited.

On the 15th of last month, a YouTube channel posted a video titled 'Marketing for Lee Kang-in, right? Mbappe's reaction to a Japanese reporter's question'. A Japanese journalist is heard asking in English during a press conference, "I heard that a South Korean player named Lee Kang-in is coming to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). Do you think it's just a marketing move, and what do other Japanese players think?" Mbappe shakes his head.

Mbappe shakes his head and replies in French. The subtitle of the video reads, "I trust (Lee). He has the talent to come here. I don't know what the intention of the question was, but to come here means he's ready and I have to trust him as a teammate," he said. "I don't know anything about the players from your country (Japan)," the caption reads. The fake video went viral with over 11 million views, but it was later confirmed that it was a "fake" video manipulated by artificial intelligence.

It is a video of Mbappe answering questions at a Euro 2020 press conference in 2021, with the voice of a Japanese journalist at the beginning of the video, which uses text-to-speech (TTS) technology to turn sentences into speech.

Meanwhile, French professional soccer club Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) appointed Luis Enrique as its new head coach on June 6. Local French media reported that PSG's top priority in the transfer market, the appointment of a manager, was expected to be followed by player signings. The announcement of Lee Kang-in's arrival at PSG is expected soon.

PSG and Lee's former club Mallorca have agreed to a transfer fee of 22 million euros (31 billion won), of which 6.2 billion won will go to Lee. Instead of receiving only 570 million won in salary when he moved from Valencia to Mallorca in 2021, the deal includes a clause that allows the player to receive 20 percent of the transfer fee if he moves to another team in the future.

ジェニーの女優デビュー作『The Idol』が物議を醸す理由 [IssueCracker].

(出典=HBO公式YouTubeチャンネル) BlackPinkのメンバー、ジェニー主演のHBOシリーズ「The Idol」が北米で放送を開始した。 4日（現地時間）に初放送された「The Idol」は、ポップ・アイドルスターと文化産業の関係を描いたもので、ポップスターのザ・ウィークエンド（エイブル・テスフェイ）、俳優ジョニー・デップの娘リリー＝ローズ・デップ、オーストラリアのシンガーソングライター、トロイ・シヴァン、そしてジェニーが出演し、公開前から話題を呼んでいる。これに先立ち、『アイドル』は3月22日にフランスで開催された第76回カンヌ国際映画祭のノン・コンペティション部門に正式招待され、第2弾がワールドプレミア上映された。海外メディアによると、上映後には5分間のスタンディングオベーションが巻き起こったという。キャストにはジェニーをはじめ多くの著名人が名を連ね、人気シリーズ『響け！ユーフォニアム』のサム・レビンソンが共同製作・監督を務めるとあって、世間の期待は高かった。しかし、その期待はすぐに失望に変わり、特に『アイドル』を先に見たジャーナリストや評論家からは厳しい批評が殺到した。批判ははっきりしている。女性差別的な描写、男性主義的な性的妄想などなど。番組の初放送後、論争は激化した。ある放送局は、「論争が起ころうとも、面白くない」と、明らかな失望を表明した。視聴者の反応、特にBLACKPINKとジェニーのファンの反応も同様だ。しかし、この論争は『アイドル』制作当初からある程度予想できたことだった。フランス南部カンヌで開催中の第76回カンヌ国際映画祭で、『The Idol』の試写会に出席した左からエイブル・テスフェイ、リリー＝ローズ・デップ、サム・レヴィンソン。(AP/News) 2021年6月、テスフェイはレザ・ファヒム、サム・レヴィンソンとともにシリーズをプロデュースし、脚本も共同執筆することを明らかにし、眉をひそめた。しかし、当初エグゼクティブ・プロデューサーを務める予定だったエイミー・セイメッツは、翌2022年4月に企画から離脱。番組の完成度が80％を超えていたため、彼女の降板は疑問視された。彼女の後任はサム・レビンソン。彼はプロデューサー兼監督に就任した。 Deadline』は当時、「『The Idol』はすでに4、5エピソードを...

'Gangnam-daero 3 hamburgers'...'juicy' makes the wait worth it Five Guys

Customers wait in line to place orders at a Five Guys store on Gangnam-daero, Seocho-gu, Seoul, on Nov. 28. (Reporter Koo Ye-ji sunrise@) Five Guys, one of America's top three burgers, has landed in Korea, sparking a burger war on Gangnam-daero in Seocho-gu, Seoul. Five Guys is fighting for 'American taste', Shake Shack for localization, and Superduper for fresh meat. At 9:30 a.m. on the 28th, an hour and a half before the store opened, there were already 117 teams lined up out front. With the introduction of tabling (a remote queuing application), there were no long lines like on the first day. After a long wait, we were able to enter the store at 12:10pm. On the 27th, the second day of opening, the line started at 11:44am and I entered the store at 2:54pm. I ordered a burger from Five Guys in Korea and compared it to the Five Guys burger, Shake Shack, and Superduper signature items I tried in New York City in January. The Five Guys burger comes with eight veggies, incl...
