[News] Hankyung and Henry recall their tough experiences in Korea
2009.10.21
When asked about their past training in Korea on a certain entertainment programme on Enlight Media, both Hankyung and Henry said that the experience was extremely scary to them at that point in time and it is not inappropriate to call it a “boot camp (lit. ‘devil training’)”. Additionally, the language barrier that they faced made life even more difficult for them.
Henry shared that when he first arrived in Korea, he was completely unable to understand the menus in restaurants. As he only knew how to say “I’d like a bowl of chicken soup,” in Korean, he could only eat that same dish in that same restaurant. He did so for two whole months, learning Korean as he drank the soup. His revelation amused the other members in the group.
Chinese member Hankyung also had such a (training) experience, saying that although he did not drink chicken soup for as long a time (as Henry did), his training experience was indeed rather tough. As a foreigner on unfamiliar land, everything he did required a lot of time. However, he soon changed his stance, saying, “Looking back on the experience I had, it actually wasn’t unbearable. If it weren’t for that experience, I’d not have the results that I have achieved today, and no one would know me. So I am very thankful for that seemingly difficult period of time.” Hankyung’s words brought on a lasting applause from the crew members off-stage.
The host then told Super Junior M about the three trainees of Enlight Media who are bound for training in Korea and asked them to teach the trainees on where to get Korean delicacies. In response to that request, Hankyung said in a serious tone that having the chance to receive such training in Korea is a good opportunity for youngsters. He explained that Korea is particularly strict in the aspect of nurturing celebrities, hence one should not think about how to enjoy himself in Korea, but focus on learning and picking up skills instead. He even jokingly said that to protect the young trainees, the members will not disclose their ‘strategies’ to Korean delicacies.
Technology has altered the way people discover, evaluate, and pursue social opportunities. Many interactions that once relied on chance encounters or established social circles now begin with a search, a profile, or a message sent through a digital platform. Greater access to information has given people more control over how they connect with others, while mobile devices have made those opportunities available at almost any moment. Read more
Aviator does not behave like an old casino game moved onto a screen. It feels more like something built for the screen from the start. The plane takes off, the multiplier rises, and the player has one decision to make. Cash out now, or wait and risk the round ending before they press the button. That is the basic idea behind crash games. They strip the round down to timing. The game shows the risk in real time instead of hiding it behind a spin or a dealt card. Read more
Walk through any modern wellness expo and you’ll see a striking pattern: people aren’t just buying supplements anymore — they’re buying signals. Red light panels, PEMF mats, vagus nerve stimulators, biofeedback rings, grounding sheets. The wellness aisle has quietly become an electronics aisle. And tucked inside that shift is one of the more unusual comeback stories in alternative health: the return of Rife frequencies. Read more
