My week was busy due to a variety of birthday-related shenanigans, and I am looking forward to a much more peaceful week next week. (Mostly. Kind of. Not really.) Anyhow, I’ve got your regularly scheduled crop of interesting links, so enjoy!
- The Park Geun-hye saga: “Park Geun-hye loses perks of former presidents,” “‘The wrath of Lee Jae-yong’ – flurry of resignations at Samsung,” “Prosecutors all set to grill Park,” “Prosecution summons SK chief Chey over scandal of impeached president,” “Park Geun-hye to appear for Prosecutors’ questioning on Mar. 21,” “Angry, frustrated old folks camped out in front of Park Geun-hye’s house,” “Presidential Election Will Be Held on May 9. Hwang Kyo-ahn Will Not Run,” and “Denmark to extradite Chung Yoo-ra.”
- “US Secretary of State says Washington’s North Korea policy has failed.” brb, headdesking
- “Skywalks offer exciting views from great heights: Glass-floored decks attract visitors looking for new perspectives.” This does not help my call-of-the-void-ness.
- “Tourism industry looks to curb dependence on China: As many cancel planned trips to Korea, businesses try to appeal to rest of Asia” and “Arts industry feels the pain from China’s boycott: Exchanges between the two countries have abruptly shut down.” The THAAD fallout continues to accelerate.
- “Chance of unprecedented ‘golden holiday’ in May.” Way to look on the possible bright side. I want an eleven-day holiday.
- “LTI Korea digitalizes classical, contemporary Korean literature.” This is really cool. I’m going to have to check these books out.
- “Ji Chang Wook is back with new drama called Be Careful of This Woman.” I see the heroine received taekwondo training in the past. If she gets to be the muscle, I will be all over this.
- ““Age Of Youth” PD Explains Why Ryu Hwayoung Will Not Join Original Cast’s Return In Season 2.” Does anyone believe that it has nothing to do with recent events?
- “‘Voice’ Confirms 2 Additional Special Episodes.” Filler, in other words, but I’m sure the fans will be happy.
- “SBS’s “Defendant” On The Cusp Of Hitting 30 Percent In Real-Time Ratings With Latest Episode.” Damn.
- “Kim Kang Woo And Yeo Jin Goo Attend Their First Table Read For tvN’s Upcoming Sci-Fi Drama.” I would love this if they could do it properly. *crosses fingers*
