Tom Holland and Zendaya Coleman Of The Movie 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' had a special meeting with a Korean child.

On December 12th, a video titled 'Korean Kid meets Spider-Man (Feat.Tom Holland, Zendaya)' was uploaded on the YouTube channel 'ODG'. Sung Ha Rang, who appeared in the video, is a huge Spider-Man fan, and said, "I think Spider-Man actually exists in America." He later expressed his desire to meet Spider-Man in the United States.

On that episode, the production team gave Harang time to study English and prepare what he wanted to say when he met Spider-Man, and said, "I'm going to meet Spider-Man now."

To surprise Harang, the production team informed Tom Holland and Zendaya, who were conducting a promotional interview for the movie 'Spider-Man: No Way Home', that they had successfully hired him.

Soon, Tom Holland and Zendaya appeared through a video interview, and Harang, who said he was too nervous, began to calmly read the letter he had prepared. The letter was filled with fan feelings such as "I like Spider-Man the most among the Avengers",  "Every Halloween, I wear a Spider-Man costume, and at home I sleep in a Spider-Man blanket."

Harang's letter made Tom Holland smiled warmly, saying, "I also have a Spider-Man blanket,"

Harang also shared "I will meet you when COVID-19 is over, and I will study English hard until then."

Tom Holland responded, "I hope to be able to meet you when I go there, and I will deliver autographs somehow."

Tom Holland also gave a serious answer to Harang's question, "How do you shoot a spider's web?", saying, "I have a launcher on my wrist."

To the pure question of Harang about "How hard do you have to practice to become the Avengers?". He and Zendaya responded "Spider-Man was initially was an  ordinary kid. Anyone with special skills can become 'Avengers'."

Finally, Harang said to Tom Holland, "Please make more Spider-Man movies. I will go see them all."

To this, Tom Holland warmly concluded the video interview by saying, "Thank you very much. We will do our best."

Even after the video interview was over, Harang pinched his cheeks and said, "Isn't this really a dream?" Then he ran to his mother and hugged her and said, "I've made my dream come true."

A recent KBS drama shoot starring Girls' Generation's Seohyun and 2PM's Taecyeon has sparked controversy after accusations of damaging a UNESCO World Heritage site.

On January 2, architect Min Seo Hong took to Facebook to criticize the production of the upcoming drama I Took the Male Lead's First Night, which used Byeongsan Seowon, a historic Korean Confucian academy, as a filming location.

His post, titled "An Account of What I Witnessed at Byeongsan Seowon," detailed shocking allegations about the crew's actions.

Min shared that he visited Byeongsan Seowon on December 30, only to find the site bustling with drama staff.

"As I approached, I saw crew members moving around. At first, I didn’t realize it was a filming set, but when I entered the seowon, I felt uneasy knowing this historic site was being used this way," he wrote.

What he saw inside was alarming. According to Min, props were scattered throughout the seowon, and staff were hammering nails into wooden pillars to hang lights.

When he confronted them, they reportedly dismissed his concerns, saying, "We already have permission from Andong City. If you’re curious, contact them."

Determined to take action, Min contacted Andong City’s Cultural Heritage Department. A city official admitted they had approved the filming but appeared unaware of the damage being done.

"When I asked if they knew about the nails in the wooden pillars, they seemed flustered and promised to order their removal immediately," Min shared.

Experts later informed Min that incidents like this aren’t uncommon, with some modern heritage sites even being dismantled for filming. "People might think hammering nails is minor, but in traditional Korean houses, it’s a big deal to even drive in one nail. For cultural heritage, this should never happen," he said.

Min’s biggest concern is the decision to allow such a valuable site, designated as Historic Site No. 260 and a UNESCO World Heritage site, to be used for filming at all. "This was a KBS drama production, and it’s deplorable that they showed such little care for cultural heritage," he added.

The drama, I Took the Male Lead's First Night, is already drawing backlash before its release, with many netizens expressing anger over the alleged damage to the historic site. Comments online include:

"Why are cultural heritage sites being used as filming locations in the first place?"

"If this is true, KBS owes an apology not just to viewers but to the nation."

"Respect for cultural heritage should come before making a drama."

Neither KBS nor the drama's production team has released an official statement regarding the allegations.

However, the issue has sparked heated debate, with many calling for stricter regulations on the use of heritage sites for filming.
