After Girls' Generation or So Nyeo Shi Dae very success and popular in Korea, now they are going to debut in Japan. They are an artist beneath of SM Entertainment. They are very popular in Asia. SM Entertainment said that all of 9 members will leave Korea for a while to have an officially showcase of their first debut in Tokyo at Araike Coliseum on August 25, 2010. This coliseum can contain more than 10,000 people. They prepare many excited and wonderful show for Japanese fans.

Girls' Generation will release their debut single in Japanese with Nayutawave Record which is minor from Universal Music Record. There are J-pop groups such as Kiseki and Greeen who work with this record, but Girls' Generation is only one of Korean artist that work with them. They hope that they will success with their debut in Japan, and become highly popular in J-pop industry. While they are in Japan, they will release CD and DVD which include their clips and music video on August.

There are many artist of SM Entertainment who success in Japan like BoA, TVXQ and Super Junior, so I wish Girls' Generation will success like their senior artist. They had their first photo book in Japan too. They will sing their hit song like Genie in Japanese. I like them, and I want to watch their first debut in Japan. Anyway, I know that they will did it well.

LG, Samsung, Daewoo worry about fallout from Iran sanctions

This is another story about LG, Samsung and Daewoo. We don't hear about Daewoo much, but it is one of popular brand in Korea too. I choose this story, because I want to know more about their technology.

Korean electronics companies cooperate with the United State of America to consider about the development of nuclear in Iran. They want to punish them. Samsung&LG said that there are not many disadvantages, but they have to observe the situation and progress first. Daewoo the electronic company has an aim to megotiate for selling share to Iran, but it is not progress yet.

On last Thursday, the represent from Samsung said about the progress that they sent their ambassador between Republic Korea and Iran to accord about it. At this time, Samsung still does not see any effect from bad situation of Iran's politic. They said that they reject to reveal their portion of the curculation in Iran out of all their income. Samsung is one of the top electronic brands in the world. They sell electronic devices and home implement like televisions, refrigerators, air-conditioners, dvd players, home theaters, washers and etc. which lead to Iran's electronics trading. LG is same like Samsung. There are not many differences. Iran is the 3rd of their highest circulation of LG in the Middle East. Last year, quantity of Republic Korea's commerce with Iran was about 10 billion dollars. Iran is the 4th biggest gasoline producer in Republic Korea.

I think, many Korean electronics companies reach into the trading of many countries in the world. In Thailand, they are popular too. Their technology are good as same as The United State. After Iran's politic become clear, I hope they will be more successful.

China stalling on Samsung&LG

I choose this story, because it is about the electronic brands that we familiar with. This brand is famous in Thailand too. Many people in Thailand use them.

Chinese want to obstruct the investment of Samsung&LG which is Korean company that want to build their LCD factories in China, so it make their plan delay. Samsung&LG is waiting for the approval from Beijing since April. The represent of Beijing says nothing and still has no comment about this investment. Date that they plan to build is on August.

Their is a LCD competitor of Samsung&LG which is from Taiwanese company. Thereby, the competition between this big company which are Taiwanese and Korean begin. Chinese prefer to support Taiwanese company than Korean company, because they cooperate about their economy which called Framework Agreement (ECFA). Chinese think that LCD from Taiwanese company is efficiency too, so they choose them. Another reason is if they choose Taiwanese, it will has less effect to Chinese LCD producer. Actually, Samsung&LG technology develop to level 8, but China is still level 5. Anyway, Samsung&LG become stress, because they cam only wait for an approval.

In my opinion, Samsung&LG is brand that many people admit that they are good and famous. They just want to expand their business to other countries. I hope that the approval result will be a good news for them.

LG Household take over Pasteur Milk

This story is about business. I choose this story, because I never heard about LG Household&Healthcare before, so I want to do about it.

LG Household&Healthcare decided to buy Pasteur Milk. They want to make a business which is about drinks more harden. They try to expand their business for the acquirement of Pasture which is the prime of dairy producer from Korea Yakult. They are allow to expand their business to own the brands such as Coca Cola (2007), Diamond Water (2010), Hankook Beverage (2010), and the face shop (2010)

For the recently acquirement, LG Household&Healthcare proceed to conduct the beverage and dairy business. They were not still revealed the deal's price. LG Household&Healthcare founded in 1947. It is well-know for Perio toothpaste and Pong Pong detergent brands. Their income is thriving very fast. For 5 years passed, their revenue has develop 3 times, and earning increase for six-fold. Yakult bought all the share of Pasture in 2005 for 27.5 billion won , but they lost their money for 12 billion during 2008 till 2009. LG already sell the dairy with Danone company which is a immense transitional.

LG is one of a big company in Korea that cover many types of product. I think, LG should disperse some profit to other company. They own too many products. Anyway, LG is a good choice for Korean to use their product, because their products were assured.

KT&G debuts unique product

The reason that I choose this story is not I like smoking, but I think their product and package look interested, so I want to try to do it.

Many of smoker might bored the flavored of their cigarettes which have a same style in one pack, so KT&G has generate their new product. KT&G is the biggest company of tobacco manufacture. For the information about their new product, there are 2 different type of the cigarettes. The name of this product called Raison Pop 17+3. It will release on Wednesday for all over country. There price are 2,500 won per pack.

The cigarettes are consist of 17 regular rolls and 3 changeable in ones which have various flavors. Inside of it feature with efficiency filters. For example, when you click the filters of these 3 cigarettes, it will change to green which turn to menthol-flavored. If you dislike this flavored, you can change back to an ordinary flavored. KT&G believe that their package and brand will attract many people, and become popular beneath Raison brand soon. This brand was renowned since 2002 till now.

It's good that they use the appearance to appeal people to buy it. Their package look good. It don't look like a cigarette pack. It look like a candy box more than a cigarette pack, because its color look sweet. Actually, I dislike smoking, and I don't want anyone smoke, so I won't support anything which related to smoke.

I choose this story, because I think once Korea have a big problem about the democratic. I want to know a little more about it.

Kyung Chungsye, the leader of opposition DP (Democratic Party) was quit. The reason why he determined that because he couldn't make his party won on latest election on July 28 2010. On 3 months ago he won the election but this time he lose to other competitor party.

He wish that his decision will affect in a good way to another party who won this election. He want them to have an impulsion to start their work on this September. His party won just one eighth of all districts in Seoul. The Lawmaker and other party want all of party leadership resign to admit and have a responsibility. They are looking for a person who will replace Kyung Chungsye. They expect that a person who will become a next leader will have a property that good enough for this work.

I think, it is good that Kyung Chungsye show his responsibility. I wish the lawmaker and other party will find a good person to replace Kyung Chungsye soon, and wish he will work harder than him too.
