Observing the unknown from Korea's peaks 2012/01/14, Source,
Mount Bohyeon in Yeongcheon, North Gyeongsang, may not be the tallest mountain in Korea - but it could be the best location for gazing at the stars. With no major cities nearby polluting the atmosphere and clear skies all year round, the Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory, which includes a 1.8-meter reflecting telescope (the longest such telescope in Korea), was constructed near the peak. The telescope marked a turning point in Korean astronomical studies, allowing for detailed observation of comets and galaxies,...More

Yet the talk about him seems almost too good to be true. He is said to be as polite to famous directors in their 60s and 70s as he is to the youngest of crew members doing the most menial tasks on set. And when he meets younger actors and actresses, he is always the first to break the ice by lowering himself,...More
The year 1988 saw a bunch of flashes in the pan in the pop music industry, and has-been rock star CHOI Gon was one of them. After his only hit song 'The Rain and You', he became involved in drug problems, mob fights, and now sings in a café in the countryside. He one day gets into a fight with one of the customers at the café, and needs bail money to get released from a lockup. Desperately trying to free him, his manager PARK Min-soo comes up with the solution to send CHOI Gon to a radio station in a far, remote town in the suburbs as a DJ, so that the radio station can pay for the bail. Helpless and bewildered, CHOI Gon now has to DJ in front of a few dozen listeners…
