YOON is seriously on point widit. I love stylish women and she definitely knows how to carry herself real well. She is one half of the Korean power couple making a lot of noise all over Japan (the other half being her husband Verbal of M-Flo) for their fashion and jewelry lines. I’m in love with YOON and I’m crossing my fingers that she’ll be in NY this September…
YOON, Pharell, & Verbal
Eunyi: I love how you’re such a nice girl. You’re not bad-tempered, you’re polite to me.
Nami: I learned that from my father. He said to treat people politely. It may seem like a sign of respect, but it’s really putting myself first.
Eunyi: You’re lucky to have a father who teaches you things like that. 
Hera: Mom, do something!
Hera’s Mother: Don’t move!
Eunyi: Ma’am, please grab my leg.
Nami: Grandma, hurry!
Hera’s Mother: Nami, you stay still too. Shut up if you don’t know anything.
Hera’s Mother: Your husband’s fucking her and she’s pregnant. That’s a fact. The possibility that the babys not your husband’s? Zero.
Hera: So you pulled that shit in front of Nami?
Hera’s Mother: What? That was just an accident. 
Cho: These people are scary. I’m scared something awful might happen to you.
Hera: How could that bastard do this to me? In my house, with the bitch who washes my underwear?
Hera’s Mother: No need for you to resent Hoon. From the day he was born, he had everything he ever wanted, no matter what. All them men in that family are like that. Look at your mother-in-law. She suffered through awful things most people can’t even begin to imagine. But she endured it all to become who she is today. Look at her now, people worship her. 
Eunyi: I’m going to get revenge.
Cho: I know. Anyone in your position would want to.
Eunyi: No! However small, I have to do something! Damned world has been cruel to me.

North Korea just attacked South Korea, followed by a response attack by South Korea.
US, China, and Russia have all taken notice and issued responses. China is a North Korean ally and the US and Russia are South Korean allies. If China steps up in defense of North Korea, shits about to get heavy.
Woooo, WWIII and nuclear holocaust here we come.
War is not imminent, but if history has taught us anything it’s that it’s not over. In the 1980’s when Kim Jong Il was heir apparent, he took military action and blew up a South Korean airliner and attempted the assassination of the SK president. They’re trying to give Kim Jongun some credibility to have their people rally around them and to announce to world “Hey! We got leverage, pay attention to us!”
Everyone knows, including NK, that war would be pyrrhic. And as convoluted as the situation is, NK is whiping their dicks around just enough that SK won’t do the same, China won’t be pissed, and the rest of the world will hear their message loud and clear. I swear, it’s almost like an inside joke in NK on how often they can get the world to pose empty threats. They’ve been accused with breaking armistice several times now and nothing, just how NK wants it.
In NY Time’s article of “The 31 Places to Go in 2010,” Seoul was ranked an impressive #3, right behind Sri Lanka and Patagonia Wine Country.
According to the article, the reason Korea was placed so high was not due to the cliche reason of technology, but due to the country’s esteem for modern culture and the arts. I say this time and time again, but I have a huge appreciation for the finer things in life and that encompasses anything that requires much creativity.
“Forget Tokyo. Design aficionados are now heading to Seoul.
They have been drawn by the Korean capital’s glammed-up cafes and restaurants, immaculate art galleries and monumental fashion palaces like the sprawling outpost of Milan’s 10 Corso Como and the widely noted Ann Demeulemeester store — an avant-garde Chia Pet covered in vegetation.
And now Seoul, under its design-obsessed mayor, Oh Se-hoon, is the 2010 World Design Capital. The title, bestowed by a prominent council of industrial designers, means a year’s worth of design parties, exhibitions, conferences and other revelries. Most are still being planned (go to wdc2010.seoul.go.kr for updates). A highlight will no doubt be the third annual Seoul Design Fair (Sept. 17 to Oct. 7), the city’s answer to the design weeks in Milan and New York, which last year drew 2.5 million people and featured a cavalcade of events under two enormous inflatable structures set up at the city’s Olympic stadium.”

Korea is the motherland. I didn’t need another reason to want to go, but if there was ever a reason… this would be it!
