Actor Kim Sung Min was arrested on a charge of drugs !!!




I can’t believe how this happened. ‘How is it possible!!? ??’

( Oh! my godness! I did't understadnd what it's all about!+.+)


When I knew this news on Internet, I was very shocked at first. I am writing this issue from a few minutes ago. Actor Kim Sung Min was recently arrested by police on the night of December 3rd in his own house in Seoul, for the possession of Methamphetamine.( is called 필로폰 in Korean) First of all, Kim Sung Min has been rising to fame through casting in various movies and dramas since his 1995 debut, and is currently active as a regular cast member in a KBSTV’s ‘Qualification of Men’. Even if I can’t always watch this program, I think he is one of my favorite members in Qualification of Men. ( while writting this arcitle, I am so excited and sad from him)


In a police investigation which was revealed through local news broadcasts this evening. Kim confessed to have been directly smuggling in Methamphetamine from an international source.

I was so disappointed from him. Even if his life was so hard, I can’t understand why he selected to take drugs that are addictive and destructive.WHY!WHY!! The police have requested an arrest warrant on Kim, and on December 4th at around 7:00 PM. The chief judge of the Seoul Central Distant Court stated, “There is concern that he may escape” and accepted the warrant request. Kim’s agency reveled they are still trying to get hold of detailed information on this matter.”

Meanwhile, Kim has himself tweeted in guilt after the news broke this evening, “I’m sorry to everyone who I have disappointed, my family and the people I love …”

The police are scheduled to have an investigation to find exact details on Kim’s source for the Methamphetamine and whether he has any accomplices on the act.

The producer of ‘Qualification of Men’ came forth to state that they will be officially taking off Kim Sung Min from the cast, and will edit out his parts for the next episode.


Anyway, following the events of Mc’ Mong, Kim Sung Min’s the new made me very shocked, disappointed and regrettable! I am not sure whether he will be able to continue his career as an entertainer. from the news, I hope Korea’s celebrities should start acting responsibly.
Do you know Social Commerce?



Today, I want to talk about what social commerce is. It is a subset of electronic commerce that relates using online, social media to assist in the online buying and selling of products and services. The word “Social Commerce” has come out since 2005.
Now, it has developed in our society. "BECOME Cheaper To Gather" You may hear whether what social commerce is or not. It is kind of online shopping mall; however, some difference is that they are always on an event proving us good price! When we buy some products or concert tickets we pay all money required to companies or stores. The social commerce provides us at least half prices then usual prices while the goal of selling ticket is achieved . For instance, a social commerce has an agreement with a restaurant, then the restaurant and social commerce make a deal that if 100 people come to the restaurant will provide a half price discountes compared to original price, but if people do not, the contract between them will be disappear. We can pay only half price to buy something such as concert tickets, clothes only some particular brand which have an agreement with social commerce companies and some stores.


At first, when the idea of providing a half price to consumers came out many people wondered it would work or not. Needleless to say, the social commerce companies have become one of the successful business idea now days.

What make people want to spend their money to buy some social events?

I believe the merit of prices! We can buy some expensive tickets like a skin care ticket or providing luxury restaurant food on a half price using the social commerce site! They usually offer good programs that people want to go or do or buy. In addition proving area of products as well as good places is various we can have good information from them. Finally, social commerce companies, business people, and consumers have synergy effect. Social commerce can earn money by selling good event programs to consumers. Business people can introduce their good programs or products or places to consumers without spending money to advertise. Consumers can have good information from them and save money :) It looks like symbiotic relationship you can see what the social commerce providing below site.

Just don’t spend much money for then. haha :)

thanks for reading my post:)

Kopi Luwak

Would you pay $15 for a cup of coffee? How about a coffee made from beans that have passed through the digestive system of a civet?




Kopi Luwak, grown in Indonesia, is the world's rarest and most expensive coffee. The beans, once passed through the civet's digestive system, are separated from the faeces and processed before being sent to coffee fanatics all over the world. Weighing in at about $400 per kg, it has also spawned an entire industry in counterfeit coffee. It's hard to get hold of. There are lots of people selling it, but most of it is not authentic.
Hundreds of company online offer "authentication certificates" and guarantees but with only about 230kg being produced in Indonesia each year, most are not worth the paper they are written on, Mr Merlo said. At a premium price, the beans will be roasted "very carefully" and in small batches.





-HOW THE BEANS ARE HARVESTED
Enzymes in the civet's stomach that ferment the bean are said to be responsible for a unique flavour that has coffee fanatics worldwide willing to shell out big bucks
Civets known in Indonesia as luwak, are a cat-sized mammal found in South-East Asia, south India and southern China. They feed on the red coffee cherries. The bean within the cherry passes through their digestive system intact. Still inside the protective membrane, the faeces are collected and the beans separated, washed and eventually roasted. As well as being drunk as a hot beverage, the beans are used in a Danish beer known as Weasel Stout. The civet also contributes to the beauty industry. It's perineal glands produce a fluid known as civet one used in the making of perfume, although increasingly, a synthetic substitute is used.

If you chew Xylitol gum, it reduces the rates of cavities by 47.1%

The habit of chewing gum started in the 1980s in Finland when Finnish scientists discovered that gum containing xylitol, a natural sweetener found in plant tissue, prevents tooth decay.
Annual gum market scale of Korea is 230 billion won. Of these, rate of Xylitol gum is about 50%. In the number of gums terms, about 3 billion. In other words, the whole nation are chewing Xylitol gums 60 a year. Is it working prevent cavities by chewing Xylitol gum?







Xylitol is contained fruit, vegetable. Xylitol extracted from a birch tree.
Sugar content of Xylitol is the same sugar. But, calory is about 75% low than sugar. And when Xylitol gum melts in your mouth, absorbed heat from the around, it gives refrigerant.

Ban on corporal punishment in Korea school





Is corporal punishment “the stick of love” or "another form of child abuse"?



These days, I have often access to school corporal punishment through media. There are manydifferent ideas about punishment. I sometimes think about this issue like "Is it necessary for them to use punishment in school? Or, does the punishment have a bad influence on students?"
Do you know Korea joins recently in a global trend toward banning corporal punishment of student? Corporal punishment is now banned in all schools in Seoul under revised regulation. With many teachers facing difficulty controlling students following the ban on corporal punishment, the Seoul education office came out with a guidebook on how to deal with unruly students.
In Korea, corporal punishment has long been in practice despite many negative effects.


How do you think if you were a teacher in Korea? I hear friction between students and a teacher in Korea school two days ago. I couldn’t’ believe How students can hit the teacher on the head?! I am sometimes shocked by teenagers’ improper conduct in school. From this month, teachers in Seoul are unable to hit students, to ask them to hold both of their hands out and to run laps around the playground as disciplinary punishment. Also. A Seoul teacher reportedly encountered embarrassment when he gave a warning to a student who was smoking. A class disturber threatened to report the teacher to police for alleged bullying. A teacher received an angry reaction from a parent, while consulting about the wayward behavior of the student. Schools need to devise ways of keeping discipline among students without the use of corporal punishment.
I believe punishment is necessary to us. Because teenagers are still young. Teenagers are not able to distinguish whether it’s right or wrong yet. Therefore teachers are thinking about punishment to correct us as general way. Of course I dislike punishment. Specially, I never face to teacher who is crazy about to strike students and carried away by his emotions. However, who made him like that? It’s us!! As a result, we should not simply think about the punishment as violence but teachers shall be looked as angels if we trust them that they correct and growth more of our general ideas and mind. first of all , I think that it will take considerable time to balance the pros and cons regarding whether corporal punishment is to be fully abolished or partially retained. It is high time that we made a sensible choice for next generation.
I am expected to share your opinions about current issue
Thanks for reading ~♥
