Rosé and Bruno Mars’ “APT.” is one of the best pop songs in recent memory
It’s why the galactic-scale pop-rock band welcomed the Blackpink alum to join them a few hours ago at Goyang Stadium in Goyang-si
After Chris Martin sat at the piano and played a bit of “APT.” solo
the full band kicked in and Rosé burst onto the stage
and Martin filled in for Mars (as much as Chris Martin could be expected to fill in for Bruno Mars — very different flavors of cheese there)
Rosé was one of many guests Coldplay have featured during their current jaunt through Asia
Also appearing with the band at most Goyang-si shows have been TWICE

K-pop 2024 Dream Concert to be held in October in Goyang
The 2024 Dream Concert will be held Oct. 19 at Goyang Stadium in Ilsan, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi Province, according to the Korean Entertainment Producer’s Association on Wednesday.
Dream Concert is the longest-standing K-pop concert, held annually since 1995.
This year’s event is co-hosted by the Korean Entertainment Producer’s Association, the Korea Tourism Organization and Goyang city.
Dream Concert has attracted 1.98 million concertgoers so far over the past nearly 30 years.
From first-generation K-pop groups such as H.O.T, S.E.S. and god to K-pop sensation BTS, the event has featured 622 K-pop acts so far.
“Dream Concert is not only the longest-standing K-pop concert but a cultural symbol embracing the history of K-pop from its beginning in the 1990s until today, in which it has become mainstream content globally,” said Im Baek-woon, president of the Korea Entertainment Producer’s Association, in a press release.
At this year’s event, a “dream rookie” of the year will be announced through voting, which will be carried out via the K-pop Seoul app from Monday to Sept. 26.
The lineup of performers for the 2024 Dream Concert is yet to be announced.

As four new cities in Ilsan, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, have been designated as leading reconstruction districts selected by the government, expectations from residents here are rising.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced on the 27th that it has selected a total of 13 districts and 35,897 households as the leading districts for the maintenance of the first new city.
Among them, Ilsan's selected complexes are Baeksong Village 1, 2, 3, and 5 (No. 2,732) in Baekseok-dong, Ilsan-gu, 3, 4, 10, and 15 complexes in Hugok Village (No. 2,564), 3, 5, 7, and 8 complexes in Gangchon Village (No. 3,616), and Jungbal Village's 2 and 3 complexes (No. 262).
The complex selected as the leading district secured a relatively high rate of residents' consent, and reportedly received high scores in detailed evaluations such as the number of housing complexes participating in the integrated maintenance, the number of households, and the number of parking per household in the integrated district.
Baeksong Village Complex 1, 2, 3, and 5 is also the place where President Yoon Suk Yeol and Land, Infrastructure and Transport Minister Park Sang-woo visited Baeksong Village Complex 5 in person on January 10 and promised reconstruction.
The four Baeksong Village complexes were built between 1992 and 1993, with a dedicated area ratio of 49~106㎡ and a floor area ratio of 150%.
Baeksong Village Complex 5 is the first apartment complex completed in Ilsan New Town in August 1992 and is home to 786 households.
Gangchon Village Complex 3, 5, 7, and 8 in Madu-dong, Ilsan-dong-gu was built between 1992-1993 and has a total of 3,616 households with 47~124㎡ dedicated to it. The average floor area ratio of the four complexes is 178%.
Complex 3, 4, 10, and 15 in Hugok Village, Ilsan-dong, Ilsanseo-gu, was built between 1994 and 1995, and has a total of 2,564 households with 56~199㎡ dedicated to it. The average floor area ratio of the four complexes is 181%.
Complex 2 and 3 of Jeongbal Village (No. 262) was built in 1996 as a coalition villa.
The complex, which is ahead of the competition for the leading district, has recently seen its ransom fluctuate. Real estate officials say that as expectations for reconstruction grow, buying to invest before it is too late is flocking.
The actual transaction price of 76㎡ dedicated to Baeksong Village in Ilsan recorded KRW 390 million last month. The figure is up nearly 60 million won from the same period a year ago (330 million won). It is also easy to find sales whose asking price is close to the 2022 reported price (450 million won).
Goyang City expects that the selected complex will be able to push ahead with the project quickly by applying the "old-age planned urban planning fast track" being prepared by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport to support the establishment of a special maintenance plan.
In accordance with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's special maintenance plan, it plans to actively support the smooth maintenance project of the leading district through prior consultation with related departments and close communication with residents.
The medicine for the 3rd new city's main office has finally come up. Changneung Shindo, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, which entered the subscription schedule this month, is the main character.
Based on the exclusive 84 (34 pyeong), the sale price was 770 million won. As the construction cost increase was reflected, it increased by about 100 million more than the pre-subscription price.
In Korea, there is an immortal myth of new cities in the metropolitan area. In fact, the first and second new cities brought huge market gains to the buyers.
Should we say the 3rd new city? Let's take a look at the different data.
The first new city was created in 1989 by the Roh Tae-woo administration under the "2 million housing units construction plan" to resolve overcrowding in Seoul. Five regions are representative: Bundang, Ilsan, Pyeongchon, Sanbon, and the Middle East. About 300,000 units were supplied.
The sale price of apartments in the first new city is estimated to be around 80 million won to 100 million won based on 84㎡ dedicated. At that time, the average annual household income in Korea was about 10 million won. You had to pay about 8 to 10 times your household income to get an apartment.
Currently, transactions are in the mid-600 million won range in Ilsan, Sanbon, and Jung-dong, 1 billion won in Pyeongchon, and 1.5 to 2 billion won in Bundang based on the exclusive 84 standard.
Taking this into account, the buyer would have seen a 6 to 20 times profit margin even if he had kept the house.
In fact, Lee Jae-myung, chairman of the Democratic Party of Korea, purchased 164㎡ (58 pyeong) dedicated to Kumho (constructed in 1992) in Sunae-dong, Bundang-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do for 366 million won in 1998. Currently, the equilibrium market price amounts to 2.3 billion won to 2.4 billion won. CEO Lee made 6.5 times profit just by purchasing an apartment in the middle without receiving a sale.
The situation is the same for the second new city.
The second new city was planned during the Roh Moo Hyun administration to prevent overheating of real estate and was moved in sequentially through the Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye administrations. This includes Pangyo Gwanggyo Wirye Dongtan Mass Unjeong Geomdan.
Although the sale price varies greatly from region to region, Unjeong and Geomdan were sold at 8 million won to 9 million won per pyeong, Gwanggyo, Pangyo, and Wirye were sold at 13 million won to 15 million won per pyeong, and Dongtan and Misa were sold at 10 to 12 million won per pyeong in the early and mid-2010s.
And in all of these regions, the market price has risen by at least twice to as much as four to five times. In other words, the myth of the sale of new cities has been created.
If so, is the sale price of the 3rd new city (770 million won based on 84㎡ for Changneung only) an appropriate price compared to these new cities?
Changneung New Town is considered a promising area along with Hanam Gyosan among the 3rd new cities. This is because Ilsan New Town is located as the hinterland, and GTX-A passes through Changneung Station in the center of Changneung New Town.
In particular, the S-5, S-6, and A-4 blocks, which will be sold for KRW 770 million this time, are close to GTX-A Changneung Station and a village bus that takes one or two stops. It is considered a promising area as a cross-border area.
The first new city of 34 pyeong (84㎡) was sold for about 100 million won in the early 1990s, which was similar to the Sanggye Jugong Complex 7 (near Nowon Station), which was a semi-new construction in Seoul at the time. Currently, the actual transaction price of 84㎡ for Sanggye Jugong Complex 9 is in the early-mid 900 million won range, accounting for the "median price" of Seoul apartments.
The sale price of the second new city was between 300 million won and 500 million won (based on the first residential complex) based on 84 square meters, which is almost the same as or about 20-30% cheaper than the price of Sanggye Jugong Complex 7 in the early and mid-2010s.
The sale price of the third new city, Changneung New Town, is also 15% cheaper than the current price of Sanggye Jugong Complex 7 (the early-mid 900 million units). In addition, the complex where the main medicine in Changneung New Town is located is slightly cheaper compared to the price of nearby apartments (Doraeul Village).
In this way, the sale price of Changneung New Town becomes the 'right price' as in the 1st and 2nd new cities. The precedent of selling new cities in Gyeonggi Province at a slightly lower level than the average price of apartments in Seoul at the time was also applied this time.
Previously, I told you that if you had an apartment so far, the first new city's buyers (in the early 1990s) made 6 to 20 times more profits, and the second new city's buyers (in the late 1000s to early 2010s) made 2 to 5 times more profits, right?
If so, will the third new city also be subject to the same invincible myth of a new city in the metropolitan area?
This is related to the growth potential of the Korean economy.
According to the Bank of Korea, Korea's nominal GDP, which reflects inflation, rose to W206 trillion (1990), W942 trillion (2004), W1379 trillion (2010), and W240.1 trillion (2023).
As of 2023, nominal GDP increased 11 times compared to 1990 when the first new city sold it, and 2.5 times compared to 2004 (based on Dongtan New Town) when the second new city started selling it.
In fact, Bundang, the leader of the first new city, recorded a rise of up to 20 times, and Ilsan and Pyeongchon often rose more than six to seven times, if not 11 times. In an average estimate, as nominal GDP has risen (11 times), so has the true value of sellers of the first new city.
The same goes for the second new city. Gwanggyo, Pangyo, Wirye, and Dongtan were mainly raised, which is about three times the average. This is also a figure that reflects nominal GDP growth (2.5 times).
Nominal GDP is a concept that reflects the inflation rate (GDP deflator) in real GDP.
Considering this, the myth of the new city in the metropolitan area can be interpreted as a reflection of the growth of the Korean economy.
I'll try to substitute this into the future as it is.
Goldman Sachs released its 2022 "Road to 2075" report, forecasting Korea's real GDP to be $3.3 trillion (4600 trillion won) in 2060, and $3.4 trillion (about 4,700 trillion won) in 2075 from $2 trillion in 2030.
In terms of 2040 ($2.6 trillion), Korea's real GDP will be 1.5 times higher than in 2020 ($1.7 trillion).
This is real GDP, so it should reflect the inflation. Assuming inflation is around 1.5% every year, prices will rise by about 30% to 40% over 20 years.
Reflecting this, nominal GDP in 2040 is likely to be twice the nominal GDP in 2020.
Looking at the successful experiences of the 1st and 2nd new cities, if the 3rd new city is also sold, the price is likely to double in 20 years. It's not the rate of increase in the first and second periods, but there's a possibility that it's at least more profitable than the inflation rate. In particular, complexes adjacent to the GTX line can be considered beneficiaries of price increases.
First, the government's household loan management policy.
The government is foreshadowing the third phase of the stress DSR from July, and is also trying to lower the ratio of household loans to GDP from the current 92%. Considering this, the increase in housing prices may be limited because loans do not come out as much as they used to.
The current population has been decreasing since 2020. In addition, the number of households in the metropolitan area is expected to decrease in earnest from the 2040s.
Korea-U.S. Global, a construction business management (PM) company, and the Korea Peninsula Future Research Institute, a private think tank specializing in population issues, predicted last year that "Korean housing prices will decrease from 2040.
Third, it is a question about the sustainability of the Korean economy's growth.
In the short term, the Trump administration's strengthening protectionism is expected to worsen the business conditions of Korean exporters. In addition, strengthening the competitiveness of the Chinese manufacturing industry and expanding its global market share are expected to stifle Korean companies in the mid to long term.
Goldman Sachs had expected South Korea's real GDP to double in 2020 by 2040, but in fact, many economic research institutes, including the Bank of Korea, are publishing reports that "growth is not easy because it is mired in a low-growth swamp."
Considering the above three things, it is hard to say that the third new city is unconditionally guaranteed to have "double profits compared to the sale price." In the end, getting a sale is a 'part of the investment', and the buyer must fully bear the risk.
Due to the demographic structure, the third new city, which will be completed over the next 10 to 15 years, will actually be the "last new city."
If you are a positivist, that is, someone who has faith in the Korean economy, or if you are not confident of making profits through other investment methods (stock, bonds, virtual assets, gold), you may want to actively consider selling the third new city.
In particular, if there is good news near the GTX-A line, such as the sale of Changneung New Town, or if the state's low-interest loans can be used due to hatred of sharing, the sale can be a good option.
However, if you are a negative or lack of faith in the Korean economy, it is also a good idea to wait and see when it becomes a little cheaper to build apartments in the outskirts than to sell them in the third new city. This is because there is a possibility that the prices of old downtown apartments may be adjusted due to structural decline in demand.
The group Big Bang G-Dragon will hold its first world tour concert at Goyang Stadium on March 29.
According to the Mail Business Star Today report on the 11th, G-Dragon will hold the "G-DRAGON 2025 WORLD TOUR [Ubermensch]" at Goyang Stadium in Ilsanseo-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do on March 29 and 30.
G-Dragon's solo world tour has been around eight years since "Act lll: Maternity" (ACT III, M.O.T.T.E) in 2017. G-Dragon is scheduled to embark on a large-scale world tour, starting with the concert on this day.
Prior to the world tour, a third full-length album, ̈bermensch, is also scheduled to be released on February 25.
Expectations are high on what kind of music G-Dragon, who dominated the charts with his digital single "POWER" released last year and "HOME SWEET HOME" with Big Bang members Taeyang and Daesung, will perform through his first solo studio album in 11 years and 5 months.
Seoul's Climate Accompany Card will expand its service to Goyang City and Gwacheon City in Gyeonggi Province from the 30th. The Seoul Metropolitan Government said on the 21st, "Citizens who travel to and from Seoul, Goyang, and Gwacheon will also be able to receive unlimited use of public transportation with Gifu companion cards at around 50,000 won to 60,000 won per month."
As Goyang City and Gwacheon City join the Gifu-dong card service area, subway lines 3 and 4 are expected to be used more conveniently as Gifu-dong cards.
In Gyeonggi-do, Gimpo-si, Namyangju-si, and Guri-si joined as areas where climate cards are available. With this expansion, Line 3 will be able to use a Gifu companion card in all 44 stations from Daehwa Station in Goyang City to Ogeum Station in Seoul.
The Gyeongui Central Line can be used in 34 stations from Tanhyeon Station in Goyang City to Guri Station in Guri City. Line 4 has also been expanded to 34 stations from Jinjeop Station in Namyangju City to Gwacheon Government Complex Station.
On top of that, considering that 28 buses in Seoul passing through Goyang City and 6 routes passing through Gwacheon City will be available as climate-related cards, about 170,000 citizens who go to work or commute to work in Seoul, Goyang, and Gwacheon are expected to benefit.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government said, "As Goyang City, a large city with a population of 1 million, which is a common living area in Seoul, and Gwacheon City, which is geographically located on the road in southern Gyeonggi Province, are connected, the climate companion card will be expanded to the metropolitan area."
The Seoul Metropolitan Government plans to focus on expanding services in the future as its popularity is increasing, with the maximum number of users on weekdays exceeding 650,000. Yoon Jong-jang, Director of Transportation Department in Seoul
Yoon Jong-jang, head of the Seoul Metropolitan Transportation Office, said, "The expansion of Goyang and Gwacheon, following Gimpo, Namyangju, and Guri, is continuing the innovation of unlimited public transportation of "climate companion cards" to major cities and counties in Gyeonggi Province," adding, "We will make all-out efforts to expand services and improve convenience in the metropolitan area."
The cat cafe 'The Cat's Generation' located in Ilsan-dong-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, which I recently visited. As I entered the cafe wearing slippers shaped like cat feet, more than 10 cute "cats" greeted the customer.
The cute appearance of playing freely, such as eating feed and grooming or climbing on top of the cat tower, makes viewers fall in love. Some curious cats approached a reporter sitting cross-legged on the floor and rubbed themselves.
CEO Jang Han-bit (37), who has been running a cat cafe in Ilsan for 10 years, is also a "butler" in his 12th year this year. CEO Jang said, "Cats do not have to dress like dogs, walk or take a bath, and they can grow well in any environment, not just one way to eat a lot of snacks," and boasted, "In particular, Goyang City is a great place to be with pets because it has a good infrastructure for pets and pets."
With an estimated 15 million "Pet+Family" people treating pets as family members, Goyang City has become the country's best "pet heaven." It was selected as the region that spends the most for pets in the country.
According to the data analyzed by Maeil Economy on the 20th by commissioning the commercial analysis service "Open Up" operated by fintech company Pinda, Goyang City's cumulative sales of the five major industries related to pets over the past five years were 245.2 billion won, overwhelmingly topping the nation. The five major industries related to pets are △ feed stores △ toy and clothing stores △ pet kindergarten △ pet funeral homes △ pet and pet cafes.
Suwon City in Gyeonggi Province came in second with 128.1 billion won, followed by Cheongju City in North Chungcheong Province with 121.5 billion won, Gangnam-gu in Seoul with 109.9 billion won, and Namyangju City in Gyeonggi Province with 108.9 billion won.
Areas with large pet industry sales were a good place to raise pets like families because they had a high proportion of elderly or single-person households among the total population and had pleasant residential environments such as parks and dulle-gil. In particular, it was analyzed that the elderly with financial leeway and young single-person households who open their wallets for single life are spending on pets.
Goyang City, which ranked first, has a high proportion of single-person households, especially the elderly. According to the National Statistical Office, as of 2022, there were 119,000 single-person households in Goyang, of which 51.5 percent were over 50 years old, far higher than the average of 45.2 percent in Gyeonggi Province.
Jeong Hyo-eun, a 36-year-old office worker, said, "I separated from my parents in Ilsan, and I gave a cat as a gift for my father who was alone after his bereavement. Since he retired from a large company, he is financially comfortable and lives happily by investing money in the rich 'myo life' of cats."
Suwon-si and Cheongju-si, which ranked 2nd and 3rd, are regions where there are particularly many unmarried households. According to the National Statistical Office, 52.0% of all households in Gyeonggi-do Province are single, while 61.1% of Suwon-si City is. In Cheongju-si, 42.2% of all households were unmarried, especially 96.0% of those in their 20s.
Yoon Joon-sik (33), an office worker living alone in Gwanggyo, Suwon, said, "I think I will probably spend the rest of my life with my two dogs without getting married," adding, "I'm going to generously do 'flex' to my pets."
"Korea is expected to see a deeper low birth rate or aging population due to low marriage rates," said Cho Kyung-won, head of the Korea Pet Promotion Agency's education center. "As the number of single-person households increases, more people will be comforted by raising pets." Cho, the head of the center, added, "We have entered the era of 'Pet Humanization', where pets have become members of the family beyond daily parenting, making it meaningless to distinguish them from people."
The group Seventeen mentioned the absence of members Jeonghan and Jun.
On the afternoon of the 13th, Seventeen's new world tour "SEVENTEEN LIGHT HERE WORLD TOUR IN GOYANG" was held at Goyang Stadium in Ilsanseo-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do. Seventeen showed off its popularity by mobilizing a total of 58,000 people for two days.
The two-day performances were sold out immediately after the reservation began, realizing SEVENTEEN's ticket power. Seventeen will show off its presence as a major K-pop group by traveling to major cities in the U.S., Japan, and Asia, starting with Korea.
On this day, the members greeted the first performance and mentioned Jeonghan and Jun, who were excluded from their activities due to military service and Chinese activities. Mingyu said, "The two of you can't be together, but don't be too upset. They are the ones who will come back one day. Don't be upset and just be disappointed," he said, touching the fans' hearts.
Singer G-Dragon faced a series of bad news at his first solo concert in eight years. The delay in the performance due to poor weather conditions and poor sound quality due to strong winds were added, which was more regretful than joy.
G-Dragon held "G-DRAGON 2025 WORLD TOUR [Ubermensch] IN KOREA" at Goyang Stadium in Ilsanseo-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, on the 29th and 30th and met with 60,000 spectators.
The 'Webermansh' performance on the 29th was originally scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. However, around 1 p.m., Coupang Play, the organizer of the performance, announced that the start time of the performance would be delayed by 30 minutes due to bad weather. It was only an hour before entering the VIP seat sound check event.
Even at 7 p.m., when the performance was announced to begin, the curtain did not rise. Amid no explanation for the delay, 30,000 audiences waited for G-Dragon to appear in the extreme cold of 0 degrees Celsius. In the process, some audiences booed.
The performance didn't begin until 43 minutes later. G-Dragon, who appeared on stage wearing a red jacket with a rose-shaped decoration and a crown, opened the world tour with "POWER." In the ensuing "HOME SWEET HOME," Taeyang and Daesung, who participated in the song's feature, sang and danced on the electronic display, giving the impression that the three of them were performing together.
After the opening performance, G-Dragon said, "It's been a long time since I've had a concert. G-Dragon is back. "We made a comeback and had a concert after 8 years," he said. "Are you ready to play today. I'm a bit shy, so if you don't strain me, I'll get upset and go in. Let's work together," he said.
G-Dragon, who heated up the mood with "ONE OF A KIND," is R.O.On the stage of "D" and "The Leaders," he performed jointly with 2NE1 CL, a group that used to be a team at YG Entertainment.
G-Dragon apologized to the audience chanting his real name, Kwon Ji-yong, saying, "I'm sorry that I started late in the cold today," and added, "It's my first time performing at Goyang Stadium, and I didn't know it was such a pretty place. (Looking at the light stick) It's like a field of flowers," he said with a smile.
As it was the first concert in eight years, I looked back on the time so far. G-Dragon said, "There's been a lot of things going on. There are unfortunate things, and you must have been uncomfortable with the noisy situation, but it is an honor to be here as a singer," he said, posing to wipe away his tears.
He said, "So far, I've released an album and toured without a break. I made a comeback every year, and now I feel like I'm preparing for a comeback. There was something I wanted to show you, so it took me a while to come back thinking about it a lot. That's why my nose is frowning here today. Anyway, it's good," he said, expressing the joy of meeting his fans after a long time.
On this day, G-Dragon performed a performance that showed both his past and present, including "Crayon," "Bonamana," "That XX," "Butterfly," "I Love You," "What Are You?" "Today," "Heartbreaker," "Take Me," and "TOO BAD."
In particular, G-Dragon went down to the floor to communicate more closely with his fans, singing "Crikey." However, as G-Dragon approached, safety concerns were raised as fans sitting in seats ran toward him in unison. G-Dragon continued his fan service by wearing glasses handed to him by a fan, but at the moment, a large audience made viewers dizzy.
This performance artistically expresses the philosophical concept of philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, expressing the moment when Webermansch is reborn as a superman through storytelling. The ̈ logo of the Webermansch, the symbol of the tour, melted throughout the stage, and a super-large ABR (Air Balloon Robot) was also installed.
G-Dragon said, "If you look at the explanation of 'Webermansch', you will get Nietzsche, and there are many difficult words such as thought and philosophy. Actually, I'm doing it to look like it's there. It's not a big deal. I just mean to keep working hard," he said, adding, "I used a structure that made me face my self during 'Heartbreaker' at this concert and the self I filmed while making this album. He explained, "It embodies the ̈ of 'Webermansch'.
G-Dragon, who grabbed the microphone again, performed a set list of about 23 songs, including "DRAMA," "Boy," "THIS LOVE," "One-year Station," "IBELONGIU" and "Untitled."
Finally, G-Dragon said, "Thank you for coming today. It's been a long time, so I wanted to capture each and every one of you, but please remember me a lot. Don't you have my brothers. We're 20 next year, so we're planning a sexy coming-of-age ceremony. Today, the 'Webermansh' tour took its first step. I will go around once and do my best to perform for Korean fans once more within this year," he said, receiving cheers.
"Webermansh" was the first concert in eight years since G-Dragon's world tour "Act 3: Mo (M.O.T.T.E)" in 2017. Accordingly, G-Dragon seems to have fully prepared by mobilizing all the spectacular stage effects such as flames, firecrackers, pollen, lighting, drones, and large structures.
However, starting with the delay in the performance due to the bad weather, there were regrets everywhere. First, G-Dragon showed poor condition, with his voice cracking, perhaps due to the cold weather. On top of that, the safety of the audience was concerned, and the voice was not properly delivered to the audience due to strong winds, causing problems with sound.
G-Dragon must have been frustrated that he did not show perfect performance in his first solo performance in eight years. I hope that he, who is not missing anywhere with his "ability," will face the audience in a form worthy of the name "G-Dragon" in the next performance.
Meanwhile, G-Dragon will continue its "Webermansch" tour in eight cities in seven Asian countries, including Blakan in the Philippines, Osaka in Japan, Macau in China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Jakarta in Indonesia, and Hong Kong, starting with Tokyo in Japan on May 10-11.
Jeonghan from the group Seventeen made a surprise appearance at the team's performance.
At the end of the show, Seventeen rode a moving car and walked around the venue. Seung-kwan said, "Everyone, I came yesterday, but Jeong-han came today." Jeong-han's appearance in the audience appeared on the screen, drawing cheers from fans. In response, Jeonghan made fans excited once again by performing a surprise point dance on the members' "Adore U" stage.
Jeong-han is currently serving in the military and has been excluded from team activities.

The aftermath is fierce over the complete cancellation of the K-Culture Valley (CJ Live City)
the largest development project in northern Gyeonggi Province
Gyeonggi Province promised public development along with the additional designation of a free economic zone on the site of the K-Culture Valley development project
but Goyang citizens are calling for the resumption of the project
foreshadowing a large-scale protest on the 19th
Gyeonggi Province announced on the 1st that it would lift the agreement signed with CJ Live City
to normalize the K-Culture Valley complex development and convert the project to public initiative
but opposition has not stopped among local politicians and citizens since then
K-Culture Valley is a project to invest 1.8 trillion won in 326,400 square meters of land in Janghang-dong
Local politicians and citizens criticized Gyeonggi Province's decision to scrap the K-Content complex
which was expected to produce economic effects such as 30 trillion won in added value
and 200,000 indirect jobs over 10 years by creating the largest professional concert hall in Korea (118,36㎡ in total area) and commercial
chairman of the People's Power Goyang City Party Council
urging the province to fully accept the Ministry of Land
Infrastructure and Transport's mediation plan so that the K-Culture Valley project can be implemented as soon as possible
Citizens are also posting a petition to Gyeonggi Province saying
and timeline related to CJ Live City" and calling for a review of the cancellation of the business agreement
who explained the controversy over the name of "Peace Nuri Special Self-Governing Province" in May
is in a position to express his position again in more than two months
Due to strong opposition from the termination of the project
Gyeonggi Province held a meeting with residents on the lifting of the K-Culture Valley agreement presided over by Kim Sung-joong
the first vice governor of Gyeonggi Province
at KINTEX's second exhibition hall in Goyang City on the 15th
citizens are in a position to "start the business by signing an agreement with CJ Live City again rather than public development to promote the business quickly." In addition
he expressed doubts about Gyeonggi Province's plan to promote projects that large companies have not solved due to business problems through public development
The promotion of a free economic zone on the site of the K-Culture Valley project is also unclear
Gyeonggi Province reduced the area of 26.7 square kilometers (about 8 million pyeong) of candidate areas for free economic zones to 17.66 square meters (about 5.34 million pyeong) in the process of "research service for establishing additional development plans for free economic zones" commissioned by the Korea Institute for Industrial Economics and Trade since May last year
reflecting the opinion of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry that the area of candidate areas for free economic zones in Goyang City is too large
the K-Culture Valley business site was omitted
Gyeonggi Province held a final briefing session on the 5th on the "Research Service for Establishing Additional Designated Development Plans for Free Economic Zones" and announced that it plans to submit an application in August to the Ministry of Trade
Industry and Energy to designate additional K-Culture Valley
it remains to be seen whether the Ministry of Industry
the decision-making body for additional designation
will accept the development plan by coordinating it
The lawsuit between Gyeonggi Province and CJ Live City is also expected to surface over the delayed 100 billion won in compensation (a kind of compensation for damages if the contractual obligation is delayed) caused by the delay in the project's cancellation and construction
The Gyeonggi provincial government takes issue with CJ Live City's "will to do business" itself and claims that CJ Live City is responsible for the delay in the project
CJ Live City seems to be preparing for a lawsuit by pointing out the problems of bureaucratic administration without an understanding of the cultural industry and holding Gyeonggi Province responsible for the delay in the project
Some say that Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon
who is considered a leading opposition presidential candidate
In order for Governor Kim Dong-yeon to succeed in the Northern Special Self-Governing Province (Northern Special Self-Governing Province)
which has a population of more than 1 million
must be the only city in northern Gyeonggi Province
most of the 1.4 billion tons of food thrown away each year goes to landfills
it pollutes water and soil and releases huge amounts of methane
which banned food scraps from its landfills almost 20 years ago
the vast majority of it gets turned into animal feed
Food waste is one of the biggest contributors to climate change
not only because of the methane but also because the energy and resources that went into its production and transport have been wasted
which keeps about 90% of discarded food out of landfills and incinerators
has been studied by governments around the world
Denmark and elsewhere have toured South Korea’s facilities
which will require all residents to separate their food waste from other trash by next fall
has been observing the Korean system for years
a spokesperson for the city’s sanitation department said
While a number of cities have comparable programs
few if any other countries do what South Korea does on a national scale
a research group that studies ways to reduce carbon emissions
Although individuals and businesses pay a small fee to discard food waste
the program costs South Korea about $600 million a year
according to the country’s Ministry of Environment
West and other experts say it should be emulated
“The South Korea example makes it possible to reduce emissions at a larger scale,” he said
South Korea’s culinary tradition tends to result in uneaten food
sometimes more than a dozen — accompany most meals
practically all of those leftovers went into the ground
But the country’s mountainous terrain limits how many landfills can be built
and how far from residential areas they can be
the government introduced mandatory recycling of paper and plastic
but food scraps continued to be buried along with other trash
Political support for changing that was driven by people living near landfills
a researcher at the government-run Seoul Institute who has advised cities on handling food waste
Because stews are a staple of Korean cuisine
discarded food here tends to have high water content
which means greater volume and worse odors
it’s been illegal to send food waste to landfills
Local governments have built hundreds of facilities for processing it
truck drivers and others are part of the network that gets it collected and turned into something useful
a popular lunch spot in the Dobong district of northern Seoul
pollock stew and kimchi jjigae are the bestsellers
boiled bean sprouts and marinated perilla leaves
and “people are going to take more than they’re going to eat,” Lee said
“Koreans like to err on the side of abundance when it comes to food.”
Lee pays a price for that: about 2,800 won
and at closing time Lee empties it into a designated bin outside
he attaches a sticker purchased from the district — evidence that he’s paid for the disposal
companies hired by the district empty those bins
Park Myung-joo and his team start rolling through the streets at 5 a.m.
tearing the stickers off the bins and dumping the contents into their truck’s tank
(Dobong’s plant is one of the last in the nation where this step isn’t automated.) A conveyor belt carries the waste into a grinder
The moisture goes into pipes leading to a water treatment plant
where some of it is used to produce biogas
The rest is purified and discharged into a nearby stream
What’s left of the waste at the processing plant
four hours after Park’s team dropped it off
It’s a feed supplement for chickens and ducks
purifying the air with a chemical process before the exhaust system expels it
the food waste — nearly 70,000 tons annually — undergoes anaerobic digestion
It sits in large tanks for up to 35 days while bacteria does its work
breaking the organic matter down and creating biogas
consisting mainly of methane and carbon dioxide
which says it’s used to heat 3,000 homes in Goyang
What solid matter remains is mixed with wood chips to create fertilizer
Every ton of food waste that rots in a landfill emits greenhouse gases equivalent to 800 pounds of carbon dioxide
South Korea’s program hasn’t attained one of its goals: getting people to throw away less food
The amount of discarded food nationwide has stayed more or less steady over the years
according to data from the Ministry of Environment
There have been scattered complaints; in Deogyang
residents of one village said the odor from a processing facility was once so bad that they couldn’t leave their windows open
That plant has been inactive since 2018 because of neighbors’ protests
all the problems disappeared,” said a Deogyang resident
But most of the plants nationwide — unlike the landfills they are essentially replacing — have drawn few if any serious complaints from neighbors
Government officials say steadily improving technology has led to cleaner and more efficient operations
residents are issued cards to scan every time they drop food waste into a designated bin
The bin weighs what they’ve dropped in; at the end of the month they get a bill
“The bins have gotten cleaner and less smelly,” said Eom Jung-suk
Eom has never been charged more than a dollar for the service
But the monthly bill makes her more aware of how much she throws away
I told my daughters to take just enough to eat,” she said

The 31.9-kilometer-long railway linking Goyang and Uijeongbu in Gyeonggi Province is an important railway that plays an important role in commuting and convenient transportation for residents in the Seoul metropolitan area
it is expected that the role of "ultra-violet rays" will become important for travel beyond commuting
KORAIL Tourism Development and Yangju City
joined hands to sign a business agreement to revitalize local tourism linked to the ultraviolet rays
The two organizations signed a business agreement at Yangju City Hall on the 12th and decided to provide a more colorful travel experience to residents of the metropolitan area as well as residents near the suburbs by developing differentiated tourism products using the ultraviolet rays
The main contents of the agreement were ▲ development and operation of railway tourism products linked to the ultraviolet rays ▲ Yangju City's representative festivals such as the 'Million Thousand Thousand Ilhong Festival'
▲ revitalization of regional-specific tourism such as village vacation experience
industrial and cultural convergence travel ▲ revitalization of the local economy through railway tourism and establishment of a win-win cooperation model
officials from the two organizations shared detailed opinions on ways to revitalize tourism
such as developing and operating tourism products linked to the ultraviolet rays
attracting tourists from northern Gyeonggi Province
The outdoor area (Daegok~Uijeong) is Goyang
Gyeonggi-doIt is an important railway connecting Yangju City to Uijeongbu City
and is expected to become a key route to promote the influx of tourists with this agreement
Yangju-si is a travel destination close to the metropolitan area but equipped with nature
and it is expected that this agreement will give more momentum to the trend of revitalizing local tourism linked to railroads
we want to develop 'exercise ultraviolet rays' into 'experience tourism resources' rather than just means of transportation," said Kwon Vaccine
"We will create a new tourism model in which railroads and regions grow together."
Goyang City will establish a bio-international joint research hub center and promote the creation of a bio-precision medical cluster to realize a global self-sufficient city
the "Luxembourg Goyang Health Research Institute," a Korean branch of the Luxembourg National Health Center
will open in May next year in the Creative Innovation Campus of the Goyang Seongsa Innovation District
The Luxembourg National Institutes of Health is a research institute with the best technology in Europe in artificial intelligence (AI)
Goyang City has shared its vision to create a Goyang bioprecision medical cluster through mutual visits and meetings with the Luxembourg National Health Center
and has signed an agreement twice this year to establish the Goyang Health Research Institute
it was supposed to be established when the free economic zone was designated
but it will be created first in the Seongsa Innovation District
The Seongsa Innovation District is a large-scale complex space with three basement floors and 25 floors above the ground and a total floor area of 99,837 square meters
The Goyang Health Research Institute will build a cooperative network with large hospitals such as the National Cancer Center and activate joint research on health care data by constructing a dedicated area of about 180㎡ in the Seongsa Innovation District
The National Cancer Center has already signed a joint research project development and implementation agreement with the Luxembourg National Health Center in July
The Ministry of Science and ICT also joined hands with the Luxembourg Ministry of Higher Education and Research to cooperate in research and development in the bio and health fields
Once the Goyang Health Research Institute is established
it is expected to strengthen research infrastructure in the region as an international joint research hub center and to serve as a priming water for companies in free economic zones in the future
the creation of Goyang Bioprecision Medical Cluster is also expected to gain momentum
Goyang City is promoting the creation of a cluster that can support basic bio research and development
As the first reorganization of the 8th popular election
a strategic industry team was established for bio business
and the "Ordinance on Fostering and Supporting the Bio Industry" was also enacted
Goyang Research Institute plans to complete a study on the establishment of a basic plan for fostering the bio industry next month
which includes the basic direction and goals of fostering the bio industry
Goyang City is expanding its cooperative network by signing an agreement with Rocket Healthcare
a leading bio-long-term regeneration company
and an investment letter with Ingenia Therapeutics
"Koyang City has strengths in the development of the bio industry
including its geographical location where excellent human resources can be supplied
large general hospitals such as the National Cancer Center
We will provide policy support so that the Goyang Health Research Institute in Luxembourg can become a bridgehead for domestic bio companies and institutions to enter the global market."
Regarding the failure of the K-Culture Valley complex development
the largest development project in northern Gyeonggi-do
Gyeonggi-do Province announced its position to maintain the original form of the project and push for a speedy project
Gyeonggi Province spokesman Kang Min-seok held a press conference on the 17th and said
"Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon and three Goyang City lawmakers
Seoul on the 16th and agreed to push for the K-Culture Valley project as it was."
The three-point agreement includes △ K-Culture Valley's original form △ Fast promotion △ Responsible capital expansion
"The first message is a clear answer from Governor Kim Dong-yeon to some misunderstandings," and added
"There are ghost stories that an apartment will be built in the arena
We will continue with the K-Culture Valley business," he said
"After announcing a project promotion method called 'public development'
the province has formed a dedicated organization to make early construction."
"Governor Kim and the three lawmakers agreed that the core of public development is 'Kyung-un-min.' "Geonkyungunmin" explained
"It means that Gyeonggi Province will build it and the private sector will take charge of the operation."
"CJ has shown a low process rate of 3% for eight years
so the province is responsible for the construction in cooperation with GH
the operation will push for the participation of leading domestic and foreign entertainment companies such as Hive and AEG
"We are opening our doors to the private sector
and CJ is also open to participate in the operation."
he explained that he would consider establishing a "K-Culture Valley Special Account."
"We will raise the project cost through investment in kind so that Goyang citizens do not worry," adding
"This money cannot be spent anywhere else and can only be used to build K-Culture Valley." It was the lawmakers' proposal to create a new pocket," he said
The province also announced its intention to actively promote investment by foreign companies as it is developing the K-Culture Valley business site in the free economic zone
agreed that K-Culture Valley is a key pillar of northern development and agreed to actively communicate with Goyang citizens throughout the entire process," spokesman Kang said
the K-Culture Valley project is not a blank paper." It will be carried out at a faster pace under a larger blueprint by changing the business entity," he said
K-Culture Valley is a project to invest 1.8 trillion won (as of June 2020) on 326,400 square meters of land in Janghang-dong
The provincial government lifted the 2016 business agreement on the 28th of last month because it judged that CJ Live City
Goyang citizens called for the resumption of the project

The 'reconstruction craze' is blowing in the first new city
This is because the government has even created a special law for the first new city (special law for old-age planning cities) and supported reorganization
The first new city means Gyeonggi-do ▲ Seongnam-si Bundang ▲ Ilsan ▲ Anyang-si Pyeongchon ▲ Bucheon-si Jung-dong ▲ Gunpo-si
when the housing shortage in the metropolitan area was severe
the government developed these five places
there are currently 392,000 households (954,000 people) in five cities
it is ambiguous to call it a 'new town' now that it has been a long time
There are so many old apartments that have filled the reconstruction period
It has established a large framework of development guidelines according to the special law
the goal is to make five cities home to 537,000 households (1,242,000 people)
there will also be a list of apartments that will be the first to begin reconstruction in the first new city
let's take a look at the development plan in advance
Let's look at the basic plan for Bundang's maintenance announced by Seongnam City
The development vision is 'Bundang New Town Leap Again'
▲4th industrial special city ▲Strategic city specialized in the station area ▲ City for generational coexistence
the duck station area will be turned into a growth base with high-tech industries
Pangyo Station and Seongnam Station are planned to become a transfer base in the metropolitan area
The appropriate development density (reference area ratio) was suggested as 315%
Bundang's average floor area ratio is 174%
with about 96,000 households (230,000 people)
The floor area ratio is simply how much space can be used
If the floor area ratio rises to 315% through reconstruction
Bundang will be transformed into a city with 155,000 households (350,000 people)
This means an additional 59,000 households (120,000 people)
Seongnam City will pick the 'leading district' that will be the first to start the reconstruction in November
47 old complexes (59,000 households) in Bundang threw their hat in the ring last month
only at least 8,000 households and up to 12,000 households can be the leading district
it's too early to be disappointed just because it's falling
This is because Seongnam City announced that it will constantly maintain a certain amount of supplies every year
Goyang City has set Ilsan's development vision as a "vibrant and lively park city." We also set five specific goals
▲Green park city with a sense of vitality ▲Transportation city with convenience ▲Enerving self-sufficient city ▲Environmental city with a pleasant settlement ▲It is a good welfare and culture city to live in
The reason why the park city is at the forefront is because Ilsan has a large park area among the metropolitan areas
The area of the city park per Ilsan resident is about 10.8㎡
This is much larger than the metropolitan area (8.6 square meters per person) and Seoul (4.6 square meters per person)
Goyang City is in a position to improve the old complex well in consideration of Ilsan Lake Park and Cultural Park
The standard area ratio is set at 300% for apartments and 360% for residential and commercial complexes
with about 104,000 households (240,000 people) living there
If the floor area ratio increases through reconstruction
Ilsan will be transformed into a city where 131,000 households (300,000 people) live
There are 27,000 more households (60,000 people) than before
Goyang City will also announce its leading district in Ilsan next month
including Gangchon Village and Baekma Village
only at least 6,000 to up to 9,000 households will be designated as leading districts
This is the development vision of Anyang City
We plan to grow a knowledge industry-based cluster around the site of the relocation of Anyang City Hall
We plan to promote complex development around the station area and increase the introduction of autonomous buses
It is connected to the park axis in the north-south direction to expand the green space
the average floor area ratio of Pyeongchon is 204%
with about 51,000 households (130,000 people)
The standard floor area ratio for future reconstruction was introduced at 330%
it is estimated that the number of houses will increase by 18,000 (30,000 people)
Pyeongchon New Town will be transformed into a city with 69,000 households (160,000 people)
There are a total of 19 old complexes in Pyeongchon
a total of nine (18,000 households) are competing to be selected as the leading district
the selection size is from a minimum of 4000 to a maximum of 6000 households
The development vision of the Middle East created by Bucheon City is 'Middle East that contains the novelty of resembling the future'
▲Zero energy city ▲Top education and residential city ▲ Future change response city ▲ Culture and art city
We plan to create complex art and exhibition halls
The standard floor area ratio in the Middle East is suggested to be 350%
This is because the average floor area ratio is currently 216%
If the floor area ratio is increased and reconstructed in the future
the number of houses in the Middle East will increase by 24,000 (40,000) from 58,000 (140,000) to 82,000 (180,000)
including Mirinae Village and Vandal Village
participated in the competition for the leading district
This is 6.6 times more than the selected 4,000 to 6,000 households
It will be decided which old complex will start rebuilding next month
which is reinvented by the expansion of quality residential space and self-sufficient infrastructure." ▲The specific goal is to create a life-oriented N-bundle city ▲ a self-sufficient city for shared growth ▲ a smart mobility city ▲ a sustainable ecological city
The average floor area ratio of Sanbon is around 207%
The size of the house is 42,000 households (110,000 people)
Gunpo City proposed a standard floor area ratio of 330% to be considered when reconstructing
the number of houses in Sanbon is expected to increase to 58,000 (140,000)
Nine out of 13 old complexes (20,000 households) in Sanbon applied for a leading district contest
Toegye 1st and 2nd and Yulgok Jugong apartments
and Sanbon Jugong apartments are promoting integrated reconstruction
only at least 4,000 households and up to 6,000 households will start reconstruction first
Even after being elected as a leading district
there are many reconstruction steps to be taken
There are quite a few difficulties to overcome
such as conflicts among residents and higher construction costs
it will be difficult to increase the number of 392,000 households to 537,000
Infrastructure and Transport announced a measure to develop idle land in the first new city and use it as a migrant house for circulation maintenance
The National Assembly's Legislative Investigation Office pointed out in a research report on the "Problem of the Special Act on the Improvement of Old Planning Cities" that "securing vacation land can be difficult to discuss with existing land functions
and ownership subjects." There are also concerns about the reconstruction of permanent rental housing
which is considered another migration measure
It is predicted that the backlash from permanent rental housing residents will be significant
If 145,000 households (288,000 people) increase by 2035
there is also a question of whether infrastructure will hold out
Infrastructure and Transport and local governments are in a position to establish transportation measures for concerned traffic congestion
It is to come up with mitigation measures in consideration of the level of congestion for each wide-area transportation axis

In the "DMC Samjeong Green Core Best" in Deoguk district
two households received unordered subscriptions
less than half the surrounding market price
It is expected to record a high subscription competition rate as it can expect a market margin of about 600 million won
According to the Korea Real Estate Agency's subscription home on the 23rd
DMC Samjeong Green Core Best posted a recruitment notice for two houses that canceled the contract the previous day
Both two households (exclusive area of 84㎡) are special supply types
and one household is supplied as a special guest for newlyweds and a special guest for multi-child
so it targets members of homeless households (including minors of household owners) who currently live in Goyang-si
The complex is a residential and commercial complex with 366 households
with three basement floors and four buildings with 25 floors above the ground
It was first sold in November 2020 and moved in September last year
There are no tall buildings to the south of all dongs
so it has the advantage of being able to see the Han River
which is the same price that the sale price cap was applied in 2020
It is less than half the price of the surrounding market
which is located in the same Deoguk district in Goyang
was traded for KRW 1.095 billion last month
was changed to KRW 1.02 billion last month for 84㎡ of exclusive use
Even considering that DMC Samjeong Green Core Best falls in terms of brand value
The application will be accepted on the 29th
"Maegyo Station Prugio SK VIEW," a large complex in the metropolitan area of Maegyo Station (Suinbundang Line) in Suwon
will also be supplied with three unranked subscriptions that are about 200 million won cheaper than the market price
two households are recommended by institutions for the disabled
and the other is a multi-child special supply
Although the ceiling on the sale price was not applied
the price remained the same at the time of the initial supply in February 2020
so it will be supplied at a price between 100 million won and 200 million won lower than the recent actual transaction price

draws attention by mentioning the vacancy of the Korean president during a performance in Korea
Coldplay held its second day of performance in Korea on the afternoon of the 18th at the main stadium of Goyang Stadium in Goyang-si
"LIVE NATION PRESENTS COLDPLAY: MUSIC OF THE SPHERES DELIVERED BY DHL."
According to the performance industry on the 19th
"Why is there no president whenever Coldplay comes?" and added
Martin then pointed to drummer Will Champion
"I have someone I can recommend if the president needs it." "Champion Will is a kind
fun and strong good person to everyone except dictators," he added
drawing a favorable response from the audience
Coldplay did not mention the vacancy of the Korean president
In a conversation with only one Russian male fan
he will be able to perform (in Russia) one day," he said
The reason why this Coldplay performance attracted more attention among fans was during the Korean period
Even at the time of his first visit to Korea
former President Park Geun Hye was impeached and the Korean president's position was vacant
it is the same situation as in the past as former President Yoon Suk Yeol was fired
some put forward the theory of parallel theory over Coldplay's performance in Korea
Coldplay's second performance in Korea will be held six times in total
with about 50,000 people per episode to breathe with a total of 300,000 audiences
which consists of Chris Martin (vocal and piano)
Guy Berryman (base) and Will Champion (drum)
is a world-renowned rock band that has sold more than 100 million albums to date
The BBC introduced Goyang City in Gyeonggi Province as "one of the outstanding cities that make the world a better place."
which performed well in last year's Global MICE Destination Sustainability Index
as "an outstanding city that makes the world a better place."
The Global MICE Destination Sustainability Index evaluates the level of low-carbon future cities
Goyang City ranked 14th in the world and first in Asia and the Pacific
Goyang City has been participating in the evaluation since 2017 to promote the brand 'Sustainable Korea MICE City'
more than 100㎡ of green and water area per population
"We will establish an exhibition hall operation and event plan in consideration of eco-friendliness and harmony with nature to enhance our reputation as a sustainable city and secure international competitiveness and brand value so that KINTEX
Korea's largest exhibition and convention center
can stand shoulder to shoulder with the global MICE industry-oriented city."
a ceremony was held at KINTEX in Goyang-si
to mark the 100th anniversary of former President Kim Dae Jung's birth
attended regardless of the ruling and opposition parties
Former President Moon presented a message pointing to real politics while honoring former President Kim's achievements
"With the politics of constant hostile retaliation and the politics of extremely narrow ideology
national unity has also moved further away," he said
we must again unite and unite under the values of democracy
chairman of the emergency committee of the conservative ruling party
also took the place to make remarks honoring former President Kim's achievements
"President Kim Dae Jung has accomplished the experience of harmony and empathy that is essential to this country with all the people," he said
the power of our people and I will work much harder than now in Honam and Yeongnam."
It is interesting to note that similar keywords of harmony and unity appeared in their remarks
It seems that the problem consciousness of the development of real politics today in an overly hostile and confrontational structure has been revealed
These remarks seem to be made in consideration of former President Kim's Tangpyeong move
which encompasses both conservatives and progressives while in power
Former President Kim provided balanced support for the construction of a memorial hall between former President Park Chung-hee and Baekbeom Kim Koo
who are evaluated by liberals and conservatives today
and invited former presidents from the conservative camp to the Blue House for a meeting
This is particularly impressive considering that he was the one who suffered the most damage to the regional composition of Yeonghonam among previous presidents
In a survey of opinion leaders conducted by Maeil Business Newspaper a few years ago
the Kim Dae Jungn government was ranked as the least conflicted regime
In the movie "Kingmaker," which is about his life in 2022
he criticizes the negative-centered election pattern and conflicts with his staff who raised him as a political mogul
I'm interested in whether the emphasis on Kim Dae-jung's Kim Dae Jung on the road
we will take a moment to reflect on the spirit of unity through former President Kim's comments on presidents from conservative parties
The case that represents the spirit of unity of former President Kim Dae Jung is the project to build the former President Park Chung-hee Memorial Hall mentioned briefly above
He has made this a pledge since the presidential election
and there is an anecdote in which he expressed his thoughts in this regard in 1999 after taking office
It was a meeting with those who visited Daegu to receive a work report and pushed for the construction of a memorial hall for former President Park
"President Park told the people who have been in a state of disbelief (失意) since the Korean War
make our things and sell them to the world
The contribution that made the people do is truly great
"There is no denying that modernization has been achieved," he said
"The president of the Republic of Korea has had only one heartbreaking event
and President Park is receiving the most positive evaluation in the public." Although modernization has been achieved
it is largely attributable to the public's opening of new eyes and confidence
"The American people have people like Washington
and Kennedy as leaders like a beam in their hearts
We have a much longer history than the United States
but such a leader only talks about King Sejong and Lee Soon-shin
President Park should be known to the public as a respected leader in history."
Former President Kim Dae Jung often made remarks that highly appreciated former President Kim Young-sam
a longtime political rival and comrade of the pro-democracy movement
In a message commemorating the 15th anniversary of the formation of the pro-democracy council in 1999
"The Democratic Union of Korea lit up a beacon of democratization against the military dictatorship in 1984 with Kim Young-sam and Kim Dae Jung at the forefront of the gloomy times when freedom and human rights were suppressed," he said
"And it was the centerpiece of the democratization movement from the election revolution of the February 12th general elections in 1985 to the people's uprising in June 1987 to the victory of the direct election system." It was the hope of the people and democratic conscience suffering from dictatorship."
In his speech at the opening ceremony of the Busan Democratic Park held in the same year
"I would like to take this opportunity to praise former President Kim Young-sam for his great contribution to Busan
and the rise of the nation in 1979 despite all kinds of persecution as the opposition leader."
world-renowned rock band Coldplay mentioned the vacancy of the Korean president
"Why is there no president every time Coldplay comes?" and added
The group BTS Jin made a surprise appearance at the world-renowned rock band Coldplay's performance in Korea
Jin made a surprise appearance on the stage of the Coldplay performance held at Goyang Stadium in Daehwa-dong
Jean took the stage through a segment where vocalist Chris Martin called the audience on stage and sang together
Can I Sing 'The Astronaut' with you." "Pick me please"
Chris Martin was surprised to see that it was Jean who carried the placard
further raising the atmosphere of the performance
"The Astronut" is a collaboration between Coldplay and Jean
and it is an impressive song with a calm acoustic guitar of the pop rock genre and a slowly rising synth sound
Coldplay has also released "My Universe" with BTS
Jin also drew attention to Coldplay's Argentina performance as a special guest in 2022
Coldplay has been performing in Korea for the first time in eight years since 2017
The second performance in Korea will be held six times in total

it froze in the daily temperature range due to rain and snow as it is now
More attention is required in the weather of repeated melting
According to the fire authorities on the 16th
a major collision is occurring across the country
and a 43-car crash also occurred on the Seoul Munsan Expressway in Goyang-si
black ice is considered the cause of the accident
Black ice refers to a thin layer of ice formed on the surface of the road
It is a phenomenon that occurs when rain or snow in winter permeates the cracks of the road and freezes while the temperature drops
It is mainly formed when the daytime temperature is video and then when the nighttime temperature is below zero
It is called black ice because the black color of asphalt permeates the transparent ice
This layer of ice is not very visible to the driver
The Korea Expressway Corporation and local governments are frequently working on snow removal
but it is difficult to prevent it completely because thin ice is made again soon
Fire authorities urged people to slow down and wash away at points where the surface temperature of the road is sharply lowered due to shade
If you step on and slide on black ice without noticing it in advance
you must use the engine brake instead of pushing the brake hard or turning the steering wheel sharply to reduce damage
It was also cited as a good precaution to check sections where freezing accidents occur frequently in advance and start driving
according to the Korea Road Traffic Authority's traffic accident analysis system
an average of 866 traffic accidents occurred a year due to frost and freezing
▲527 cases in 2020 ▲1204 cases in 2021 ▲1042 cases in 2022 ▲ 693 cases in 2023
