The Coen brothers aren’t the only ones using the neighborhood as cinematic fodder today. Check out the above preview for “Fashion King,” set to premiere on South Korea’s SBS network. Hot. Stuff.
According to FanWonder.com’s translation of a SportsSeoul.com piece, the drama is about “young designers wanting to become world class designers but having to start off small at the Dong Dae Mun Markets” (see the show’s blinged-out Website featuring Marc, Karl, and the rest). A production team member says the show is being filmed in South Korea as well as on the “trendy streets of New York,” and what trendier street than Second Avenue? Flyers between Second and Third Streets indicate today’s shoot – scheduled to coincide with Fashion Week, naturally – will last till 9 p.m.
