Questions over questions (SPOILERS)

1. I have never seen that in Korea nor has any Korean person that I know, but a Korean person I watched this movie with told me that she suspects it's simply to keep the place clean. E.g you shouldn't wear shoes in someone's house, so maybe it's not acceptable to wear muddy shoes into certain types of buildings, even in the exterior hallways.

2. I think those were just large water bottles that were set to be picked up and refilled, similar to services provided in America

3. I have seen the girls dancing in front of shops in Korea, Japan and America. I'm not sure exactly how common it is but I think you could expect to see it occasionally in Korea when stores are doing promotions. Might make more sense than I guy in a sandwich board.

4. My Korean friend told me that it is an antiquated tradition in Korea for children to have to collect salt from the neighbors after wetting the bed, and that it is no longer practiced.

5. I don't think it's such a great taboo to wet the bed. It's just an exaggerated depiction of a controlling and abusive mother, meant to inform the public about lesser know or recognized forms of abuse.

6. Sexual offenders in Korea can be subject to such extreme punishments as chemical castration, so a notice on the door hardly seems like a big deal in comparison. http://m.koreatimes.co.kr/phone/news/view.jsp?req_newsidx=191233

7. No.


I know, my reply is eight years after the fact, but better late than never.
