BOA

Name : BOA

She's so hot in Korea and Japan and,
she'll be in America soon!

For the first debut in Korea,
she was not so successful in comparison
to her effort and preparations to be a singer.

She was trained to be the best singer of Asia.
BoA is her name but it also means Best of Asia.

So she was made to target Japan and other
countries of Asia. But the time she had debut in Japan had some emotional gap between Japan and Korea-bad feelings to each other. So to be a star in Japan as a Korean was a really harsh task. But she made it! She got the title! How incredible!

And she became hot in Korea, too, after her success in Japan.

And she's targetting America for the next stage!
Let's cheer her up!! Fighting, BoA!!

Her representative songs are so many ... but I recommend you

YI YUK SA

Name : YI YUK SA

He was a poet to resist toward Japan during the dark age ruled by Japan. He poured his all passion toward the independece via his poems. Let me introduce the best poet among his I think.


(Original Ver.)

절정

매운 계절의 채찍에 갈겨
마침내 북방으로 휩쓸려 오다.

하늘도 그만 지쳐 끝난 고원
서릿발 칼날진 그 위에 서다.


어데다 무릎을 꿇어야 하나
한 발 재겨 디딜 곳조차 없다.

이러매 눈 감아 생각해 볼밖에
겨울은 강철로 된 무지갠가 보다.

(Translation Ver.)

Peak

Striked by a whipcord of a spicy season,
finally swept away toward the north site

A plateau ended with the sky which is tired along,
I get on my feet on it where frost columns are sharp

'Where can I drop my knee?'
No space is existing even just one step

As it is, I should close my eyes to think up again,
'Winter is like a rainbow with iron.'

YUN DONG JU

Name : YUN DONG JU(1917/12/30-1945/2/16)


He was a poet to resist toward Japan during the dark age ruled by Japan. He poured his all passion toward the independece via his poems. Let me introduce the best poet among his I think.

(Original Ver.)

참회록

파아란 녹이 낀 구리거울 속에
내 얼굴이 남아 있는 것은
어느 왕조의 유물이기에
이다지도 욕될까

나는 나의 참회의 글을 한줄에 줄이자
--만 24년 1개월을
무슨 기쁨을 바라 살아왔던가

내일이나 모레나 그 어느 즐거운 날에
나는 또 한줄의 참회록을 써야 한다.
--그때 그 젊은 나이에
왜 그런 부끄러운 고백을 했던가

밤이면 밤마다 나의 거울을
손바닥으로 발바닥으로 닦아 보자.
그러면 어느 운석(隕石) 밑으로 홀로 걸어가는
슬픈 사람의 뒷모양이거울 속에 나타나온다.

(Translation Ver.)

Confession

In the copper mirror with some blue rust,
my face as a left thing,
how could it be such a shame
as a relic of which dynasty?

I contract my contrition into one my line
--about 24 years and one month,
what have I wished for,
what happiness?

Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, anyway, a happy someday,
I should add up a line more
--then, the age of very young days,
why did I confess such a disgraceful confession?

Every night every night,
let's rub it up with my palm and sole of foot

And the back-shadow
of a sad man is up,
who is going through the bottom of a stone

YU GUAN SUN

Name : YU GUAN SUN(1902~1920)

Explanation : She tried to let Korea retrieve itself again during the dark age ruled by Japan. She entered the IHwa girls high school established by a missionary. As the campaign to cheer Korea up with a slogan of 'Dae Han Dok Rip Man Se!' was spread all over Korea on March first in 1919, she leaded the movement. Unfortunately, she was captured by Japanese Officers and went through so many harsh punishments leaded by Japanese Officers who had an iron will to have her yield. But she didn't surrender to them and at the age of flower, 18, she was dead in a cold jail. After she was slaughtered, two teachers of her school asked them to send her carcass but Japan refused the proposal. Japan sent hers, though, as they menaced Japan that they would let the world know their outrages via international press. Oh my God. The contents in the box were her meats cut in several blocks. In 1962, the recognition to the memory of her was made. She was a real, genuine, authentic Korean woman with an iron will and patriotism.

HEO JUN

Name : HEO JUN

Explanation : He was a doctor of SunJo and GwangHaeGun in the middle age of JoSun. In 1610, he'd completed his work of making a book called DongEuiBoGam which presented such a great influence to the improvement of the traditional Oriental medicine science of Josun. He never left SunJo as a doctor of him in ImJinWaehRan(1592) when SunJo went to EuiJu to take shelter. He cured GwangHaeGun in 1596. Let me introduce one episode of him. The time when he was going to take an exam called GwaGeo(the state examination during the JoSun Dynasty), only 4 days were left. He had enough ability to pass the test but he couldn't make it because he was not in the place of exam as he was curing patients in a village. He didn't hesitate to be there as he thought the genuine doctor is who cures others when others need his help. We can feel his passion and sublime in this episode.

SE JONG DAE WANG (SE JONG the great king)

Name : SE JONG DAE WANG(SE JONG the great king)

Explanation : The 4th king of JoSun(reign 1418~1450). He lived out ideal Confucianism politics and appointed young scholors.He also made HUN MIN JUNG EUM(the right sound which teaches the nation) and supported scientists such as JANG YEONG SIL to invent science products. He expanded the territory by developping 6 battle formations and conquered the island of TSU SI MA, Japan. And he stored up many accomplishments in the fields of politics, economy, and culture.

* HUN MIN JUNG EUM - I'll introduce it in another posting. *

JANG YEONG SIL

Name : JANG YEONG SIL

Explanation : JANG YEONG SIL was a son of 妓生(GI SAENG, a singing and dancing girl of JoSun, as same as the concept of a Geisha girl). That is, he was a male servant automatically. So he had been laughed at by the neighborhood friends a lot, but he overcamedsuch problem by presenting them toys made by him. He had such a great talent of it. He was sent to a government office of Josun, though, as he was a son of GI SAENG. But he overcamed it once again by displaying his talent and it was connected to the ears of SE JONG DAE WANG(SE JONG the great king). So he became to get an opportunity to meet him for himself. He was trusted by the king so he worked as a great scientist of Josun by the time of senescence. He invented so many things-I'll introduce them in other postings. After all, he was punished because of his fault that he made a palankeen for the king weak. But we don't know how he was dead. It's not come to light.

Books : Nan Jung Il Gi (Diaries during the war)

Jung Yak Yong

Name : JUNG YAK YONG
(1762/6/16-1836/2/2)

Books : 牧民心書, 經世遺表, 欽欽新書, 我邦疆域考, 麻科會通

Simple Explanation : At the last age of Josun, western science technology has entered into Korea via Chung, China. Though most of government officials were just interested in a desk theory, not a real theory, so they excluded practical science without reserve. However, Jung Yak Yong was waked up about it and his thought is reveled with the expression of 'Knowledge can't have any values until it's been a help into real life of the nation and at that time, it'll be alive.' He's like a mountain with practical science of Josun. He'd studied it in his whole life and practiced it really. He'd went through banishment by villainous retainers, though. But as a result, he's estimated as a great scholor who had excelled the age if you learn him with his achievements day after day, year after year.
