… including Rain’s upcoming Korean “Top Gun” blockbuster 비상 [飛上]: 태양가까이 (Soar: Into The Sun).

NOTE: Some months ago, I do believe it was 10asia, after a phone call to the movie production company, who translated 비상 [飛上] (Bisang/Bisang in Hangul/Hanja) as Soar. They were the only ones who did so at the time, and I thought to myself, if CJ Entertainment is translating it this way in English, this has to be the closest translation there is. They’re the ones making the darned movie, after all. And so I’ve been waiting to see what their English translations would be like when we got close to promotion time.

I think this makes their intentions quite clear, though I don’t really expect the news outlets or people translating on the Internet to pay it any particular attention: If Rain’s movie was to be marketed to English speakers, the Powers That Be would call it Soar: Into The Sun. Which makes a heck of a lot more sense than the Flight translation, when it comes to describing an emergency flight to save mankind. All planes fly, but fighter jets soar!

All of this doesn’t really affect the movie because in Korea, all movie-goers will see is the Korean title. But thank heavens I can finally put an English title to Rain’s movie that rings true. 🙂
