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?

Land on which the biggest Universal Studios Resort ever will be built. Hard to imagine for me, but probably true!

Here's a new article I found about Universal Studios Korea Resort:
http://news.hankooki.com/lpage/economy/201205/h2012052521101321540.htm

Comcast gained control of the Universal parks last year when it paid $13.75 billion to General Electric for 51 percent of NBCUniversal. Comcast quickly doubled down on the business, spending $1 billion to buy a stake in Universal Orlando owned by the Blackstone Group. G.E. and Blackstone were both more interested in wringing cash from the parks than expanding them; selling them entirely was regularly on the table.

But Comcast is different. “We’re really feeling the love,” said Mr. Williams, Universal’s chief.

Comcast has increased spending on the parks — by how much it won’t say — and is betting on strong international growth. Universal announced a deal in April to open a park in Moscow by the end of the decade. The company, which opened a park in Singapore two years ago, also has resorts in the works in South Korea and Dubai; it is pursuing a deal in China.
