Kim Hyung Joong, one of the korean boy band singer called SS501 was infected by H1N1 flu and right now he is hospitalized in Japan because he went to Japan for his work but after he was infected in Japan he couldn't get back to Korea. And the rest of the group members had to leave him in Japan. First he had a high fever and found out that he was actually infected by the virus. He was normally very healthy and now he is still having his medical treatment but hopefully he is getting more better.

There are still lots of people that are infected with the virus and I think we should always keep in mind about this because no one knows when or what will happen to ourselves and of course we must keep ourself clean and healthy.

 * "Painting for Peace"**

In sept 8th until sept 26th in Korea Bupyeong History Museum there will be a 2009 Global Contemporary Art Exhibition Peace project. There are 41 artists all around the world and the main theme of this project is 'peace'. 24 of them were korean and 8 chinese and 9 other international artists. It is displayed in different types of art which is by painting, photographs and sculptures.

The main idea of this project was to let people see how people can be different but understanding each other. They would like to tell people that by looking at the pieces of arts there is more than one way to look at peace. I think this is a very useful event that all the people can be understanding each other by their paintings even if they are from different places.

 * "11th death from H1N1 flu virus"**

Last Tuesday the 22nd at night time another 11th person had died by H1N1 flu virus in Korea. He was 61year old who had diabetes and heart problems at the same time. On Sept1 he was moved to another place but while he was moving his heart had suddenly became progressively worse. And at Sept7th, he had a high fever and later on even though his temperature had came back to normal temperature by using the 'antiviral drugs' he had hard times with his heart getting worse so he couldn't stand any longer and died. I think the H1N1 flu depends on how healthy the person is to fight with the virus if you get infected. Usually the people who are old has weak immune system to fight over the disease and I think thats one of the reason why this person had to be like this.

 * "Fears grow about roaming wild boars"**

On Sept 21, a veteran hunter was told that a wild boar was wandering in a yard in a palace in central Seoul. He had to get there will six other shooters and at las when they have found the wild boar they have shotted him. They had to kill him because he was an adult pig that is not able to avoid to catch. The Boar was male and weighted 50 kg. They said that he might have lost his way after he comes down to the city. The crop damaging of wild animals had cost 14 billion won in Korea which would be about 12 million dollars and which 40 percent was cause by the wild boars. The wild boars are increasing and now there are about 170,000. By increasing of the number of boars it had effected alot of the crop damaging since the natural predators like tigers and wolves are becoming extinct the balance of the food chain is also destroyed and this is making a big problem as well. I think we should be careful if we see the boars wandering down the city because they are going to be really confused as well. The hunter said that people should not go near and get their attention and when you run away you should not show your back!

 * "Kim Jung il pulls plug on TV commercials"**

Kim Jung il, the North Korean leader was mad over the commercials that was made earlier by promoting the communist state of different products. He saw the commercial while he was watching the TV and he got really mad about it asking where the commercials were coming from. Since July2 in North Korea's commercial that was about a women in their traditional clothes of a traditional beer as the pride of their place. I think the way he was mad about this things is really kind of stupid because this is no need to be mad about but we can see that even a little things like this would make him mad and think about how he would be in North Korea. I hope this man has to be finished soon. He is just really stupid.
