Korean music video for Only One by pop group JYJ. It’s an official song for the 2014 Asian Games (September 19 – October 4) in Incheon City, South Korea.
The Asian Games, also known as Asiad, is held every four years. It’s the second largest multi-sport event after the Olympic Games.
South Korean sportsmen/women are pretty popular in their home country. The likes of Park Ji-sung (football), Park Tae-hwan (swimming) and Kim Yuna (figure skating) etc. are seen as mega celebrities; and the media has spotted a new star to become their next poster child – teenage rhythmic gymnast Son Yeon-jae.
Photos from the opening of the 16th Asian Games in Guangzhou, China, on Friday night. The ceremony was held in an amphitheatre-like setting – facing the Pearl River with the Guangzhou TV Tower at sight – instead of the usual stadium-mode. Splendid stuff which could rival the Beijing Olympics. Image by Xinhuanet [Cn]…
