It's a miminal set: white walls, rotating ceiling fans, a plain dark wooden bed. Nonzee drapes a mosquito net over the bed and parts it so the camera can watch through a gap. The girls get up from behind the monitor in an adjoining room where Nonzee orchestrates the shots, take a big sigh and get ready to rumble. "Action!" The girls sit erect on the bed, kissing each...

...DIED. CHUNG JU YUNG, 85, industry titan who helped revive South Korea's war-torn economy with his founding of the Hyundai Group; in Seoul. Chung, whose company's cars and electronics embodied his country's "economic miracle," had seen his reputation tarnished in recent years through debt, an inability to streamline the firm in the face of the Asian financial crisis, and allegations of fraud and cronyism. Last year the Hyundai Group was splintered by two of his sons, who served as the company's co-chairmen...
