July 21, 2012 08:28 A veteran singer who has spent much of her career in relative obscurity appeared on MBC's "I Am a Singer 2" on July 8, captivating audiences nationwide with her rousing rendition of Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing." So-hyang is a well-known contemporary Christian music singer who has held several overseas tours since she debuted in 1996 as a member of CCM band POS, but did not enter the mainstream public consciousness until this month. "I think I got to show just 50 percent of my potential in 'I Am a Singer'," she said, "I have a lot more up my sleeve other than just being able to hit all the high notes, which garnered a lot of attention when I first appeared on the show." She said nerves had played a part in hampering her performance. "It was a completely different setting [from what I'm used to].

August 09, 2013 08:29 A former correspondent for the Economist here has published a book that takes a look at his experiences in Korea and how Koreans view success. The book is called "Korea: The Impossible Country" and the author is Briton Daniel Tudor (31). Tudor previously distinguished himself with an article about Korean beer north and south of the border and is now a restaurateur. "I had a chance to visit Pyongyang and taste the beer there when President Roh Moo-hyun was in office, and was simply comparing the two types of beers," Tudor told the Chosun Ilbo. He said he does not find South Korean beer particularly bad, just that he longed for some variety. That's why he opened up his own pub near the Itaewon district in central Seoul frequented by expats and tourists. He teamed up with a group of friends to open The Booth.
