Continuities[]
The 4400[]
During the Korean War, US Army soldier, Richard Tyler, a black man, was stationed in South Korea. He found himself the subject of great ridicule and abuse by his peers for dating a white woman named Lily Bonham. On May 11th, 1951, after suffering from such an attack by his fellow soldiers, Richard diappeared in a blinding flash of light. He re-appeared fifty-three years later, along with 4,400 other abductees at the base of Mount Rainier in Washington. [1]
Yongary[]
South Korea was the central setting of the 1967 film Yongary, Monster from the Deep. In the film, the mythological creature known as Yongary caused a series of seismic earthquakes across the country and began rampaging throughout Seoul, attacking oil refineries and consuming massive amounts of oil. He continued to do so until a young child, Yoo Young, turned off the flow to the refineries' basins. Enraged, Yongary started attacking until an explosion at the refinery proved to have a chemical effect on it. The Korean Government then used oil to draw Yongary to a local river and killed it with a refined version of the compound, ammonia precipitate. [2]
