A Korean is blazing a trail for Asians in a world normally closed to them: haute couture modeling. Kim Young-kwang made his debut around two years ago. Already he has modeled for Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood, and Etro at the Milan Collection, one of the world��s four major fashion shows. He is the first male Korean model to appear at one of the four major fashion shows, although there are some Korean women.
Kim��s eye-catching well-proportioned physique,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with its long arms and legs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], makes it understandable that Andrea Monti, editor of fashion magazine GQ, praised him saying he has a perfect figure like a North European,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and a face and eyes that appeal to Europeans. Standing 187 cm tall and weighing 70 kg,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he says, ��I grew some 30 cm during high school days. That��s when I thought about being a model.�� He adds he needed to earn money to support his poor family from middle school. His father,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a veteran of the Vietnam War, was recognized for his meritorious service for the nation, but suffered from an Agent Orange-related disease before dying when Young-kwang was in elementary school.
��In the winter of 2005,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I posed for an advertisement where only the back of my head was shown because a friend of mine told me that I could earn quite a bit of money, and there I encountered the president of my current agency,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],�� he said. ��But at first not even Korean designers wanted me.��
There are very few male Asian models on the global fashion stage. Why Kim? He says he went after the global fashion world out of love for modeling. ��Thinking back now, I was just innocently brave. I sent my profile and photographs by e-mail to a model agency each in Milan and Paris, and got answers from both.�� And he flew to Milan. He thought everything would work itself out spontaneously once he got there, but the reality was harsh. He went from designer to casting director to designer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], eating sandwiches all day long,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but with no luck. ��Then I got a call from Vivienne Westwood. Her husband is in charge of designing men��s clothes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and at first I was afraid of him because he looks so savage,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but I could feel his warm heart when he hugged me after the show.��
Kim wants to be an international top model,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. ��Many people consider modeling as a stepping stone to becoming an actor. I wish they realized it��s wrong to think that so soon. I��m going to do my best to be just a top model.��

Tom Ridge ,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
The U,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].S,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. official in charge of homeland security warned Thursday that al-Qaida terrorists are planning to disrupt the presidential election process. Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge told reporters that there has been a steady stream of recent intelligence indicating al-Qaida may try to launch an attack to coincide with the upcoming election,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"Credible reporting now indicates that al-Qaida is moving forward with its plans to carry out a large scale attack in the United States in an effort to disrupt our democratic process,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," he said.
Mr. Ridge said U.S. officials do not have specific information about where or when the attack might occur,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but he did mention the upcoming political conventions that include the Democrats gathering in Boston at the end of this month and the Republicans holding their convention in New York in late August.
Mr. Ridge also said the recent arrest of terrorism suspects in Britain, Jordan and Italy yielded new information about possible terror plots.
"What we are alluding to there is not only did they have individuals in place,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but they had the means to the end that were part of the plot," he added. "They had the people ready to operate and they had munitions and the ability to conduct the terrorist attack. That was all part of the apprehension."
Members of Congress were given a private briefing about the terrorism threat. Among them was the Senate Republican Majority Leader,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Bill Frist of Tennessee.
"There is obviously no reason for panic or no reason for paralysis. But the fact that general intelligence says that the country is at some increased risk between now and the time of the presidential election, it is important for people to be aware of that," he noted.
Tom Ridge said the government is not raising the terror alert level, which now stands at elevated. He also said law enforcement agencies across the country are better prepared to deal with this latest threat than they were even a year ago.
"This is unprecedented communication and cooperation at the national,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], state and local levels,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," he said. "This new ability to receive and distribute critical information allows us to make better decisions more quickly and take action that would deter,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], detect and diffuse terrorist attacks."
U,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].S. intelligence and security officials have been concerned for months that terrorists could try and replicate the attack they launched in March during the Spanish elections in which nearly 200 people died.

In an interview on Wednesday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the head of the government workers�� union said the payment of bribes for promotion was endemic, with a Level 6 public servant having to pay a town mayor or county magistrate W50 million (US$1=W931) to be promoted to a Level 5 administrative post. Public officials in technical posts,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with fewer chances of promotion, had to pay W150 million,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the union head said. In 2003,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the magistrate of Imsil County in North Jeolla Province was arrested on charges of receiving W30 million each from three candidates for promotion at administrative levels. If the government workers�� union is correct,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it must have gotten more expensive since then.
State prosecutors, acting on a complaint from the government workers' union, in June investigated suspicions of a cash-for-promotion incident in Ulju County,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Ulsan. Out of 35 Level 5 and five Level 4 officials at the country office,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], eight were investigated on bribe charges. And the county magistrate was found to have received W135 million in bribes in exchange for promoting a Level 6 administrative official to Level 5. The magistrate of Haenam County in South Jeolla Province was arrested in June for receiving W120 million in bribes from seven of his subordinates in exchange for promoting them. He had received between W10 million to W30 million to promote an official to Level 6 and between W5 million to W15 million for advancements into major posts.
These incidents are surely not restricted to certain areas. The magistrate of Gangjin County, South Jeolla Province wrote on his county��s website that three people came to him with money but he did not take it. He added that paying cash for promotions was common across the country. Professor Lee Myung-suk of Sunkyunkwan University conducted a survey of 699 public servants working for provincial governments and found that 49 percent of them believed it costs money to get promoted. 14.8 percent of them said it costs W10 million to W20 million, 14.2 percent said W20 million to W30 million, 10.4 percent said W30 million to W50 million,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], while 3.6 percent said W50 million was needed.
Officials who bribe mayors or county magistrates for promotions need to get that money from somewhere,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so they in turn take bribes for issuing permits or authorizing projects,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], from people filing civil appeals,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and by harassing traders. And the mayors and magistrates who get paid to promote subordinates are then in no position to reprimand such behavior.
It is simply horrendous to see Korea, not in the late Chosun Dynasty but in the 21st century,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], carrying the shameful tag of being a corrupt, backward nation.相关的主题文章：

Korea and Japan are in heated competition over the global market for rechargeable batteries, also known as secondary cells. The rivalry between the two neighboring countries in the digital mobile era has come to a head-on collision over the global market leadership for semiconductors and TFT-LCDs.
The market for the products has grown as mobile sets,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], laptop computers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and PDAs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], all of which use rechargeable batteries,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], have become more popular.
Although Japanese manufacturers of the rechargeable batteries,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], including Sanyo,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Sony and Matsusita,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], have dominated the global market with their combined global market share of 93.9 percent against the meager 2.5 percent by Korean firms in 2000, major market forecast agencies are predicting that Korean battery producers, including Samsung SDI, LG Chemical and SKC, will see their combined market share reach about 30 percent by 2005.

LG Chemical has been increasing its investment into its rechargeable battery operations,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so that its production capacity can reach 15 million cells by 2005. SKC envisages a monthly production capacity of 1.25 million cells within the first half of this year.

U.S. State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said in a daily briefing Thursday that the U.S. government hopes for continued strong relations, but most observers are saying that U.S. is probably quite disturbed about developments.

��When I go to the United States I will speak about North Korea��s attempts to drive a wedge between South Korea and the U.S., and I will reveal plans for North Korea��s democratization.��

The highest-ranking North Korean to ever defect, Hwang Jang-yeop,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], talked to the Chosun Ilbo on Saturday, about his long-awaited plans to visit the United States. ��I have never been to the U.S. so I am going to look at their circumstances and understand."
Asked about the Kim Dae-jung administration's efforts to prevent him accepting invitations to go the United States and meet politicians there,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Hwang said, ��At the time, the government did not reveal the exact reason. But if my visit was not permitted because I may have upset North Korea, it was wrong. I am opposed to sacrificing democracy to maintain peace, and I am sorry that some young Koreans have fantasies about Kim Jong Il.��
The Washington-based research center working to realize Hwang's U.S. visit, the Defense Forum Foundation, has accepted the Korean government��s request to postpone Hwang��s visit until late October. Hwang will reportedly go to the United States on Oct. 27 and stay a week.
Hwang applied for a U.S. visa at the U.S. Embassy last month, bringing along a copy of the formal invitation that the Defense Forum had sent. The visa is scheduled to be issued Tuesday.
Here's more of the Chosun Ilbo's interview with Hwang:
When are you going to the United States?
The plan is tentative at this moment. I will go when the Defense Forum Foundation invites me.
t are you plans for the visit,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]?
I have three things planned out. First, it is to strengthen the alliance between South Korea and the United States, and to clear up the reasons behind North Korea's intention to break this alliance. Secondly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I wish to explain the general plan of democratizing North Korea without fighting a war. Lastly, I would like to learn about the current condition of the United States.
t do you think about the Kim Dae-jung administration blocking you from visiting the United States?
I believe that the administration feared my visit would upset North Korea. Well, they were wrong. The new administration generally approves my visit to the United States; but they bring up issues of personal danger. I do not criticize the government. I just want it to inform its citizens so that they may understand the truth.
On Sept. 2,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Seoul asked the Defense Forum to postpone the invitation. Was there a prior consultation between you and the government?
The National Intelligence Service told me that it would be difficult for me to visit the U.S. this September. It seemed to me to have been based on orders from above. There were no specific reasons as to why,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but I think it will be wise for the citizens to figure it out themselves. I will follow what the Defense Forum says. If it wants to postpone the invitation after accepting South Korea's request,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I will follow their decision,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and if the Defense Forum wants me to come earlier, I will act accordingly.
You moved out from the security house of the National Intelligence Service on Aug. 1, and are now under general protection.
I never voluntarily expressed such motive. However,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I felt sorry to be indebted to the NIS after the lawful six-year term was over. Where I am staying is not a big concern. My current lodging is under protection by police officers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and I feel secure. The NIS had been kind to me, but it is true that we had different views on policies about North Korea. I have no antipathy against the NIS for having different opinions, as it is an institution directly under the presidential administration.
How is life outside different?
The police officers do not interfere with my work, as the NIS officers did.
There has been threats imposed on you lately?
I do not fear anyone. There are groups working against me but I do not worry or care about them. Maybe Kim Jong Il's followers are making those threats. But if I feared those people, I couldn't have left my family in the North.
How is your health?
Considering my age, I'm healthy. I never even catch a cold. I eat grapefruit for breakfast, and have light lunches and dinners. I also go out for a walk in the morning.
What books are you reading these days?
Modern novels are no fun to read. I'm still reading the traditional storybooks that I got as a gift when I was in the Korean Embassy in Beijing (right after he took refuge on Feb. 12,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 1997). The stories are mostly about filial piety and loyalty. My favorite is "Greedy Fisherman's Wife," which portrays the insatiable human desire for material goods. I've read it several times.
What would you like to say to the Koreans in the South?
I'm a serious sinner who abandoned my loving family and friends back home. Therefore, it is hard for me to see South Korea, a country I trusted in so much,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], go through bitter trials in the process of developing democracy. The basic goal for reunification is to establish a new democratic Korea. Democracy should hold together this goal and the ways to achieve it, but fundamental principles so far were not clear on that.
I am against reunification by war, but I'm more against sacrificing democracy for a peaceful reunification. Peaceful means are democratic - yet if the opponent uses force, then we must also fight back by using democratic force. I do not agree with the pacifist opinions some people have. Moreover, it's heartbreaking to see the younger generation, who have little background information on the actual sufferings of early Koreans and especially Korean history, have mistaken ideals about Kim Jong Il.
I try to tell the people in South Korea the truth about Kim Jong Il. But I strongly oppose the policy that is trying to hold me back from doing it. It is every citizen's right and freedom to accept or reject what I have to say. But restraining me out of fear that what I say might upset the North is wrong.

More documents have surfaced,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], purporting to be from the Millennium Democratic Party,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and concern the creation of a scandal surrounding the alleged illegal exemption from military service of Grand National Party presidential candidate Lee Hoi-chang's son. The authenticity of the documents titled "An Interview with Kim Dae-up" has yet to be proven,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but people are already sick of the number of times these kinds of papers have shown up under the Kim Dae-jung government.
The MDP,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the alleged authors,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], flatly denies they are responsible,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but their denials cannot be taken seriously as this action is common whenever these documents show up. There needs to be an investigation to identify the true creators.
The documents are full of plots to completely neutralize the GNP candidacy in the up coming presidential election by utilizing the prosecution to investigate the alleged illegal exemption again,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. It recommended the "announcement of prosecutors' findings in November to maximize its impact on the election" and "the appointment of a head of Seoul District Prosecutors who could be guaranteed to support the head of the special investigations division,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]." These indicate the author is someone who can control the prosecution as he wishes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
What is more compelling is that the MDP and the prosecution have acted on most of the recommendations; too much to be called a coincidence. Therefore the prosecution should study a plan to bring about the whole truth concerning the documents to preserve its honor. In addition,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it would be better for prosecutors to announce the results of their investigation before November.
