[hellicoptajuuce.livejournal.com]

Following miss A‘s Suzy, 2AM‘s Jo Kwon also revealed his very own “secret space”.

The singer uploaded the photo above and wrote on his Twitter, “My secret space is nice and cozy. Its my secret space.” Jo Kwon seems to be proving to Suzy that she’s not the only one that can squeeze into the tiny closet.

After uploading the photo, Jo Kwon sent a message to Suzy with the link to the photo saying, “Suzy.. I can also fit in.. This is my cozy space.” Suzy later jokingly replied back saying, “I’ll visit sometimes. Ah, this is hilarious.” Upon seeing her tweet, Jo Kwon again replied, “Alright, make sure you visit me. I’ll have soybean soup ready.”

Fans that came across their hilarious conversation wrote, “Oppa, you look very comfortable in there“, “Can I join you guys?“, and “You guys are so cute.”

SOUTH KOREA: Korean style of 'Watergate Scandal'?

[unreal.livejournal.com]

After the case of Mr. Kim Jong-Ik, a victim of illegal surveillance by the Prime Minister's Office and exposure by a former official of the Office, more illegal surveillance material conducted by the Office has been reported to the public. The contents of illegal surveillance exposed by the new trade union of the Korean Broadcasting Corporation (KBS) and other organisations, it appears that the unlawful surveillance by the Prime Minister's Office had been systematically and widely carried out regardless of the status of person targeted.

According to the materials released to the public, the victims of this unlawful surveillance are former and incumbent higher ranking public officials, legislators in particular who oppose the government policy, various trade unions, academics who write critical articles to the government policy, high ranking police officials including police chiefs, trade unions of broadcasting corporations and personnel in newspapers that are critical to the government's policy. This is however, only a small part collected by one person of the Office while other materials are believed to have been destroyed.

Korea ... for kneeling at one with the world

[unreal.livejournal.com]

I didn't know life in a Korean Buddhist temple would be so tough. It was one of the most interesting things I'd ever done but I got out just in time, before I was crippled for life.

South Korea's Temple Stay program is one of the world's great travel success stories; a way for anyone with an interest in religion and culture to gain an insight into the Buddhist world.

When I arrived at the Woljeongsa temple office, a shaven-headed monk was sitting cross-legged on the floor, typing on a laptop.

The curtain was raised on the triennial Gyeongnam Goseong Dinosaur World Expo at the main venue of the Danghangpo Tourist Site, and the official opening ceremony for the 73-day event was scheduled for later in the day with several dignitaries set to attend.

Goseong, about 466 kilometers south of Seoul and known for its quantity and variety of dinosaur fossils, boasts more than 4,000 dinosaur footprints. More than 1,900 fossilized footprints of dinosaurs are located on a 6-km long stretch of coastal rock bed believed to have been formed approximately 100 million years ago during the early to mid Cretaceous period.
