Lee Hyori mobbed at Shanghai airport

Yein Jee — Sun, 03 May 2009 05:24:48 +0000

Korean pop star Lee Hyori was mobbed by Chinese fans and press at Shanghai Pudong International Airport when she arrived on April 22nd for a short visit. From the fancam seems like she was pretty petrified with the mess… [via K-popped]

Hmmm, where’s the bodyguards? It’s poor management from both her Korean agency and the Chinese organiser. It’s common sense that they need to beef up the security for a star of Hyori’s calibre; and I guess they probably didn’t bother to notify the airport management for special arrangement.

Credits to a few of the fans; they did try to persuade the rest to clear some space, but most were not listening obviously.

This is one Shanghai lady that you don’t want to mess with… unhappy that her Chevrolet Captiva was being towed, she got into her car, started the engine, and drove away while pulling the tow truck along… [via Chinasmack]

Automakers should consider using this idea for their next TV commercials lol.

New Zealander Robert Thompson set out from Leysin, Switzerland on June 24, 2007 and embarked on a 12,159km journey of solo and unsupported trek by skateboard through Europe, USA, and across China.

His journey was completed in Shanghai on September 28, 2008 [via Shanghaiist]

Rob has unofficially broken the Guinness World Record for the ‘longest journey by skateboard’ currently hold by by Dave Cornthwaite with a distance of 5,823km. Rob’s attempt has been submitted to Guinness and is currently under evaluation.

Video below is a summary of his final 1,200km journey from Xixia to Shanghai; which kinda reminds me of Chinese movie “Getting Home”…
