Music Video: Naul (나얼) "바람기억" (English Subtitles)
Naul is the lead vocalist and founder of the group Brown Eyed Soul (Korean R&B). The song title translates to "Wind Memory". The song is from the album "Principle Of My Soul" released on 9/20/12. This is Naul's first solo album.
I can't watch the video without crying.
I liked the headstone: "Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth" (Tim. 2:4)

For S. Korean men, makeup a foundation for success
read the article here: http://news.yahoo.com/korean-men-makeup-foundation-success-051134289.html
The article calls South Korea the male makeup capital of the world. Last year Korean men spent $495.5 million on skincare which is about 21 percent of the global sales. Makeup has become popular among men because appearance is really important in South Korea.
--------------------------
When I lived in Korea I didn't know that men wore makeup. I would think it would be popular among pop stars, but I didn't know the general population was interested in makeup. I don't think this trend will ever become popular in America. Most men in America are more focused on being macho.

Do you want to learn the dance from "Gangnam Style"? Here's a tutorial from the arirangworld YouTube site.
Psy was signed to a label in the USA!
Psy was signed to a label by Scooter Braun. Scooter manages several artists such as Justin Beiber and Carly Rae Jepson. He has 2 labels: Schoolboy Records and Raymond-Braun Media Group.
Psy is popular in Korea and now he has the opportunity to make it big in the US. I think it's great. He has already received a ton of publicity in the US because "Gangnam Style" was being shown on many media outlets. As of today, September 5, "Gangnam Style" has received over 100 million views!
