Jasmine Lee, a naturalized Korean citizen from the Philippines, was chosen as a proportional representation lawmaker on the ruling Saenuri Party ticket in the April 11 National Assembly elections. She became the first non-ethnic Korean to become a representative in the country’s history. But she instantly became the subject of online attacks. Hundreds of people posted messages on the Internet and social network service (SNS) sties, critical of Lee and other non-Korean residents. But they went unpunished for their offensive remarks because Korea has no law penalizing those making racist statements or engaging in activities instigating racial discrimination.

However, this will likely change in the near future as the government is set to push the incoming 19th National Assembly to pass a special law banning racial discrimination in line with the growing number of migrant workers and immigrant wives.

The 4 members of 2NE1, Gong Minzy, Sandara Park, Park Bom, and CL, would be releasing a new album and returning to the domestic fans after a year.

A representative from 2NE1's entertainment agency, YG Entertainment, told Star News on the afternoon of the 21st that, "2NE1 would be releasing a new Korean album in mid-June," he said. The representative continued, "Producer Teddy has already completed 7 or more wonderful songs for 2NE1," he revealed.

It's been approximately 11 months since 2NE1 released "2NE1 2nd Mini Album" during July of last year, in Korea. In 2NE1's 2nd mini album, their songs "Don't Cry," "Lonely" "I Am The Best," "Hate You," and "Ugly" all became great hits. As is expected from 2NE1, many of their songs become extremely popular every time they release a new album, and thus this news of a new album to be released locally has attracted a lot of interest.

YG Entertainment also said, "At present, 2NE1's new album that is set for release hasn't been finalized yet; we cannot confirm as to whether it will be a regular album, or a mini album," he stated.

2NE1 is also scheduled to hold their second concert in July, a month or so after the release of their new album.

On August of last year, 2NE1 held their very successful first concert at the Seoul Olympic Hall in a span of three days. After concentrating on their advancement and promotions in Japan, along with their Nolza Japan concert tour, this meeting between 2NE1 and the domestic fans after a long time is something that is sure to have a lot of expectations.

YG Entertainment said, "We would be making an official announcement once the concert details become all fixed," he continued, "We also hope that you all have fun with 2NE1 this summer," he finished.

The following series of photos show post-division prewar Seoul in the months leading up to the devastating Korean War that flattened most of the country and took the lives of millions of people.

Taken in 1949, they reveal quite a different country, a world away from the Seoul we all know today with many people still wearing traditional dress and not a high-rise or Starbucks for miles. The tranquility and relative calm in these shots is nearly the polar opposite of the chaos and carnage that ensued during the war.

Another upcoming group will join the ranks of 2012 boy group debuts as CROSS GENE will most likely have their debut sometime next month. Earlier this week, the website for the group revealed its first confirmed member, the Japanese actor and model Takuya.

Though only one member has been officially revealed, fans have been able to match the earlier released project group picture with the newly revealed CROSS GENE concept picture. The new group consists of six members called Shin ('91), Sangmin ('92), Yongseok ('93), J.G ('93), Casper ('91) and Japanese member Terada Takuya ('92). The group makes for an interesting line-up as various members have already appeared in the media before.

Japanese member Terada Takuya, for instance, will be featured in the movie "Ai Ore" with The Boss's Karam. He also guested in various episodes of the Korean variety show "Dream Team" and has been revealed to be a big fan of Korean girl groups such as miss A and Girls' Generation. He was born on March 18th, 1992; is 187cm tall and also active as a model and actor in Japan.

North Koreans in rice belt 'starve to death'
Food shortages have worsened in North Korea, even in the southwestern rice belt where some residents have starved to death, a Seoul-based online newspaper said Monday.

"Because of worsening food shortages this year there were reports of people starving to death even in South and North Hwanghae provinces," a Daily NK reporter told AFP, referring to the country's agricultural heartland.

North Korea's Gulag
New evidence reveals a vast, cruel network of prison camps.

South Korean President Lee Myung-bak deserves praise for one accomplishment above all others: He has put human rights in North Korea on the world's agenda. This certainly has hit a nerve in Pyongyang. The late Kim Jong Il cut off talks with the South, and now Kim Jong Eun has embarked on a campaign of abuse against President Lee that is vile even by that regime's standards.

On May 21st, SBS stated, “Park Ji Min has signed an exclusive contract with JYP Entertainment, and will be preparing for a debut album in the near future.”


“SM, YG, and JYP Entertainment all prioritized the successful debut and career of the ‘K-Pop Star’ winner, and all three agencies have spoken in detail with Park Ji Min about her future,” they continued. “Taking into consideration the kind of music she would like to pursue, it has been decided that she would debut with JYP Entertainment.”

Park Ji Min remarked, “My heart races when I simply hear the names of the three agencies, and the fact that I am able to enter one of them is so surreal. I am glad I will be able to receive the meticulous guidance of judge J.Y. Park, and I will learn everything I can in order to show you a much more developed side of myself.”

SBS continued, “Lee Ha Yi who competed for the top spot with Park Ji Min, along with Baek Ah Yeon and the rest of the Top 10 and even the hopefuls that were cut before, are all receiving numerous love calls. This audition program will give birth to more new stars than any before it in history.”

Meanwhile, the ‘K-Pop Star’ representatives are carefully preparing for Season 2, scheduled to broadcast sometime this November.
