/DATALINK/ AUTHOR: ALEX_C. | DATE: 01.01.0001

Congrats, Birdman! You won four Oscars. But you’ve also pissed off some people in South Korea, so there’s that. In one scene, Emma Stone, who plays the daughter of Michael Keaton’s character, is asking what kind of flowers her dad wanted. Keaton’s character says something that “smells nice” or “something soothing.” Stone’s character responds, “It all smells like fucking kimchi.” [Photo: Extreme Movie] In that scene, the flower shop is owned by a Korean character.

and races. Kimchi, of course, is South Korea’s most famous food. It’s Korea’s national dish and it does have a strong smell. Online in South Korea, some movie buffs are taking the movie’s line as a slight against not only Korean u31 ทางเข้า

food, but Korean culture. Not everyone, however, is offended, with some people online in South Korea saying they’ll wait to see the film before making a judgment and others agreeing that, yes, kimchi has a strong smell. The controversy has been covered extensively in the Korean media, including some of the country’s biggest news outlets like Yonhap News, SBS, The Korea Herald, Insight, and The Korea Times. The movie won’t open in South Korea until March 5, but the clip has already been translated into Korean and is circulating online.

Birdman‘s local distributor responded to the “fucking kimchi” controversy, telling The Korea Herald, “The line u31 ทางเข้า is only to depict the daughter’s neurotic character. There is no intention to belittle a certain country or a culture.” To contact the author of this post, write to bashcraftATkotaku.com or find him on Twitter @Brian_Ashcraft Kotaku East is your slice u31 เข้าสู่ระบบ of Asian internet culture, bringing you the latest talking
