The South Koreans seem a bit of an odd bunch. There's plenty of detrimental stuff written about the North which hits the headlines, but there are also many curiosities about the Southerners that can be found after page 1. The latest is a story about how they are trying to reduce the number of suicides, by using 'try out dying' training where they experience their own funeral, including lying in a coffin, clutching their own picture. Is that odd? ..or is it just me?
Meanwhile, over in North Korea a planned performance of Kim Jung-Un's own pop group had to be cancelled for no apparent reason. It appears that this pop group (hand-picked by the good leader) were meant to be fostering Chinese/NK relations but had to pull out at the last minute.
Still, that better than some South Korean K-Pop band being sent home from the US where there were mistakenly assumed to be sex workers.
