[OP-ED] Could K-Pop be the key to peace in Korea?



Read on UnitedKpop.

You have probably heard about the special K-Pop concert that was held in the North Korean capital of Pyongyang at the start of this month. The line-up included artists such as Red Velvet, Seohyun of Girls’ Generation and Baek Ji Young. The concert was even attended by the supreme leader himself – Kim Jong Un – and his wife Ri Sol Ju. Jong Un was said to have been “deeply moved” by the event.

But what does this all mean for the North and South Korean relationship? Will it make a difference at all? Perhaps this is the dawn of a newly unified Korea?

During the past year and few months working with 16-19 year olds at a local further education college, I have thought a lot about the different steps that are available to them next. I try to offer them advice on the subject quite a lot, so I thought it might be useful to share it on here!

So should you go to University?
The main 3 things I would emphasise in making your decision are as follows:

1. Ask yourself questions.
2. Weigh up the pros and cons as they relate to YOU specifically.
3. Do your research and inform yourself on all your options.

[ANIME REVIEW] Devilman Crybaby

IMG: http://devilman.wikia.com/wiki/Devilman_Crybaby


Devilman Crybaby is a 10 episode anime series adapted by Netflix from the 1970s manga 'Devilman' by Go Nagai.

Given Netflix's history with producing some...less-than-stellar anime adaptations in the past, I think many anime fans were surprised to hear others dubbing this series 'the best anime of 2018'. Bearing in mind that it was released on the streaming service on January 5th, this is a huge statement to make!

Is it true though? Here's my review:
