A YG Entertainment representative updated the press on TOP's health condition. The representative stated, “T.O.P is receiving his treatment well. The medical team of the hospital is predicting that he will need to continue receiving treatment for another two weeks,” indicating that T.O.P’s condition has been steadily improving.

I hope he is able to get better and the treatment he needs before he has to go to trial. May he eat his fancy food in peace and quiet.

Marijuana Taboo in the “Drug-Free” Nation

[kyokomurasaki.livejournal.com]

T.O.P, a member of a K-pop boy group Big Bang, has been lighting up local headlines for… well, lighting up. He is being charged by South Korean prosecutors for smoking marijuana. Many people want him punished for this “indecent” behavior — according to South Korean law, he could face up to five years in prison or pay a 50 million won (44,500 U.S. dollar) fine.

News of T.O.P.’s subsequent hospitalization after overdosing on prescription tranquilizers didn’t win him much public sympathy. While lying in a state of severe lethargy in an intensive care unit, he was dishonorably discharged from the conscript police force.

But believe it or not, half a century ago this very act of “indecency” would have been as innocuous as smoking a cigarette in South Korea. It was Park Chung-hee, the recently ousted Park Geun-hye’s father and South Korea’s longest-reigning military dictator (1961-1979), who blazed the country’s path to demonizing marijuana.

I thought this was pretty informative and might help shed some light on how marijuana use came to be treated how it is in Korea today. There are more videos and links in the source article if anyone wants to check those out.

IN TODAY'S "I HATE PEOPLE" NEWS: Racist comments flood NBA Finals Facebook picture of Jay Park

[cakeeatingidol.livejournal.com]

Facebook posted this picture of Jay Park at game 4 of the NBA finals in Cleveland.

Facebook post

Comments started flooding in under the picture, making very sweeping generalizations of Asians and just... terrible things. ( Comments under the cut because people are the worst. )

Now if you go to the picture, most highly liked comments are people trying to explain who Jay Park is. He also went to twitter to thank the fans who are defending him on facebook. ( Tweet here )

In the meantime, ( Jay posted this cute picture of him, Loco and Pumkin at the finals game. )

People make me sad and want to puke. But can we take a minute to appreciate how stupidly cute Loco, Jay and Pumkin are?

K-pop singers boycott concert for US soldiers over past tragedy

[rawfudge.livejournal.com]

Korean singers on Saturday boycotted a government-backed concert for United States Forces Korea troops after workers and netizens revived a bitter episode involving the American military.

The municipal government of Uijeongbu in Gyeonggi Province organized the concert to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the 2nd Infantry Division, which is stationed in the city.

USFK commander Vincent Brooks, the 8th U.S. Army commanding general Lt. Gen. Thomas Vandal, 50 officers and 400 soldiers as well as more than 3,000 civilians attended the free concert at the Uijeongbu Sports Complex.

But the musicians invited ― including soloist Insooni, K-pop bands EXID, Oh My Girl, Sweet Sorrow, punk band Crying Nut and rapper SanE ― neither showed up nor performed.

Insooni, 61, whose father was an African-American USFK soldier, told the audience at the start of the concert that she would not perform her three songs.

Shorty after this, the audience was told that all planned performances had been cancelled, causing many people to leave.

The concert, scheduled for three-and-a-half hours, was cut short by an hour, and went ahead with gigs by the 8th Army Band, the city orchestra and dancing troupe, a gukak (Korean traditional music) band and a taekwondo demonstration.
