We love your movies ― "The Matrix" franchise ― and your drama "Sense8" (not seen yet).
You, sisters Lana and Lilly Wachowski, are welcome to come to Korea to film part of your future and present series and movies too. After all, being in your business is a ticket to letting the world know more about Korea and share what we have ― culture, food, traditional music, nature, and more.
Besides, during an appearance at a comedy talk show during your visit (then you were brother and sister), you showed the warm hearts we appreciate and the creative juices that we envy.
Having said so, we would like to let you know what happened at a location for a gunfight scene in Sinrim-dong, southwestern Seoul, a couple days ago, just in case you were not aware.
Reports have it there was a big commotion at the apartment complex in the early morning.
"Kaboom, kaboom" was followed by "bang, bang" and vice versa for close to an hour.
Sleeping babies were given a rude wake-up call and cried. Residents were worried about a war breaking out. Some were caught by surprise and called the police. Then, there were some cars that took an unexpected shower from the water lorry dispatched for the filming.
When residents were told what was happening, their reaction was: "We wish they would have told us in advance." In other words, it was regretful but they didn't show any ill feelings of being offended.
For filming of "The Avengers" movie, Seoul closed one of the bridges spanning the Han River for days. Although some people complained about it and others about the financial support rendered by Seoul City Hall, the general feeling was that it was worth it ― giving the city a chance to plug itself worldwide.
For future reference, however, we wish the Wachowskis would know a couple of things about Korea.
This is a country that is forced to confront the one-million man army of North Korea, the nastiest breed of people on Earth, only 50 kilometers from Seoul. That means people here are more startled by the gunshot sounds than others. We also don't carry guns around like people do in the United States. Fortunately, compensation is being considered for some of the damages done.
Drop by Seoul again and pass our regards to Korean actress Bae Doo-na, who starred in "Sense8," for which the noise was made.
