Tom Williams came twice to Korea, correct? Once in 2007 and once in 2010. What was the difference? Changing local partners?

ahh...that pic with Tom Williams was taken back in May 22, 2007.

Universal Studio will open, much-needed, "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter" at Universal Studio Japan in late 2014.
Its the $500 million dollar project, and the constuction already has began last summer.

Consider the company just opened Universal Studio Singapore in 2010, I dont know Universal Studio Korea actually materialize.

A handshake is a handshake. Universal Studios Korea will be built!

Is this article trying to say that the park will still open in 2016?

This article talks about an opening date in the first half of 2016:

Anyone Korean speaking in this board who may translate some of the press releases posted by Jasiel? Google Translate just doesn't get Korean-English quite right, I can hardly understand anything. What's the concrete status of the project now? Do they have confirmed funding for it?
