| Four people working for SBS-TV's "Swallow the Sun" have caught the A(H1N1) flu virus. The infections were discovered at Incheon International Airport and on Jeju Island early this month. The crew members were returning from Las Vegas, where they had been filming the drama. The four are currently hospitalized, according to the makers of the new series. While the rest of the production crew and cast are not infected with the flu, they are still being quarantined on Jeju Island because of security measures. Ji Seong, the main actor for the drama, is one of the cast members staying on Jeju. Seong Yoo-ri, an actress on the show, is said to be in Seoul. She reportedly has no signs of the virus.

Staff Reporter It's a dilemma Korea has encountered many times before: plenty of tourists ― indeed, numbers are rising ― but a dearth of attractions with which to occupy them. In the past year, visitor numbers have increased, largely on the back of a weak won. But with exchange rates turning unfavorable to foreign visitors, the growth is beginning to slow. So authorities are faced with the same old problems: Put simply, the nation lacks things for foreign tourists to see and do. The tourism industry has been aware of the shortcomings for some time and has made efforts to develop new attractions and programs. Now another pair of developments are about to come to fruition. At the end of the month a premium Korean restaurant called Unamjeong, which has been revived from a famous comic, and an exhibition hall named "Star Avenue", which will help re-ignite Hallyu, or the Korean Cultural Wave.
