Korean World Cup songs

June 9, 2010 by Yein Jee

With the FIFA World Cup approaching, South Korean pop stars are joining the fun by releasing some theme songs. Most are just ok to be frank; sharing a few here…

T-ara – We’re The One
Just an ok song, but probably the most theme fitting one…

Korean singer Kim Jang-hoon collapsed on stage

June 30, 2008 by Yein Jee

Korean singer Kim Jang-hoon collapsed on stage during a live performance on June 28; he managed to regain his conciousness in a short while and was sent to hospital for treatment. Reports suggested that he has overworked himself and requires plenty of rest to recover from exhaustion.

Kim Jang-hoon is not the first Korean artist admitted to hospital for overworking recently; just a week ago rapper MC Mong was hospitalised for exhaustion too… and cases like these happen a bit too often in Korean entertainment world.

The hardworking South Koreans

In fact, lots of other Koreans are facing overworking problems too. Forbes released a report last month that South Koreans work the longest hours per year (among 32 researched countries)… they work on average 2,357 hours per year (six-and-a-half hours daily), almost doubled the Dutch at the bottom (1,391 hours per year).

Considering that Seoul is the most expensive city to live in Asia, I can understand the need for them to work hard… but nothing matters more than health (and ultimately life); they need to enjoy their lives a little bit more.
