Shin dong woo biography of barack obama

The year 2017 brought unusual dynamism all around the world and particularly related to the Korean Peninsula. In the United States, an unprecedented type of president was inaugurated with scant appreciation of alliances and apparent lack of knowledge of the relations between the United States and South Korea, bringing an unfamiliar and wary air to the region. In China, President Xi began his second term, expressing ambition for an elevated status of China on the global stage. Prime Minister Abe Shinzo also solidified his political base in Japan by winning an early election to secure his political standing and his party’s future. North Korea conducted more than ten missile tests and its sixth nuclear test, claiming that it had completed its nuclear program. In South Korea, one president was impeached and ousted, and a new one was elected much earlier than scheduled. It was remarkable not only because of the unexpected but peaceful transition of power, but also because it signified a far-reaching transition from conservative to progressive government.

As the South Korean electorate decisively chose Moon Jae-in as president, concerns loomed in diplomatic circles in Washington DC. Recalling rocky relations under progressive president Roh Moo-hyun, pundits cast doubt on the future relationship between the two countries. Some said that uncomfortable elements inherently operate when a conservative US government and a progressive government in South Korea have to work together.

The situation was, however, quite complicated. While the new US president was not very appreciative of South Korea, the North Korean threat and tension in the region were being escalated more than ever before. China had been wooing South Korea for the past few years, but now the country was economically retaliating against Seoul for its decision to deploy the THAAD system. Moon Jae-in inherited all the foreign policy burdens from the previous Park government, w

Park Sung Kwang, the comedian-turned-Kimchi-business-owner, has sent a specially designed Kimchi box to the U.S. President Barack Obama.

On January 9, Park Sung Kwang sent out a press release with the following picture of the Kimchi box he sent to President Obama. On the box it says, “Kimuchi NO, Kimchi YES,” showing the proper spelling of Korea’s most common traditional dish.

He said, “Since Kim Jang Hoon has been publicizing the Dokdo Island as Korea’s territory, I decided to spend my time promoting Kimchi around the world. I’ll make sure people get to experience the true taste of Kimchi, and I’ll fix the wrong spelling of Kimchi that’s often spelled as Kimuchi.”

Netizens who saw the picture commented, “We hope Barack Obama will buy it again,” “What if the CIA comes after him?” and “I had no idea Park Sung Kwang’s been selling Kimchi.”

Meanwhile, Park Sung Kwang launched his own Kimchi brand, “Umma Umma Kimchi,” last year, joining other celebrities, including Hong Jin Kyung and Oh Ji Ho, in the Kimchi sales market.

The term "Gangnam Style" is a neologism that refers to the nouveau riche lifestyles associated with the Gangnam region of Seoul.

On July 15, 2012, "Gangnam Style" was released on to Psy's YouTube channel and debuted at number one on South Korea's Gaon Chart, receiving generally positive reviews, with praise for its catchy beat and Psy's amusing dancing during live performances and in various locations around the world in its music video. The song and its music video went viral in August 2012 and have influenced popular culture worldwide. In the United States, "Gangnam Style" peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100, which at the time, was the highest charting song by a South Korean artist. By the end of 2012, "Gangnam Style" had topped the music charts of more than 30 countries including Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Psy's dance in the music video itself became a cultural phenomenon.

It subsequently won Best Video at the MTV Europe Music Awards held that year. It became a source of parodies and reaction videos by many different individuals, groups, and organizations. On December 21, 2012, "Gangnam Style" became the first YouTube video to reach a billion views. The song's music video was the most viewed video on YouTube from November 24, 2012, when it surpassed the music video for "Baby" by Justin Bieber featuring Ludacris, to July 10, 2017, when it was itself surpassed by the music video for "See You Again" by Wiz Khalifa featuring Charlie Puth.

Its dance was attempted by political leaders such as British Prime Min

The President. Thank you. Wow, thank you very much. Please. Thank you very much. That's so nice. That means you like us. And we like you. And it has been a great period of time for our two countries.

I want to thank you, Ambassador Harris. We put you here recently because we thought it might be a spot where we need somebody with great talent, and you've displayed that in our military for many years. We really appreciate it very much. Thank you, Ambassador.

You've led this Embassy with outstanding vision and skill, and we deeply appreciate your efforts. And I tell you, many of the businesspeople that I've met in this incredible country have told me very strongly that what we did with the Ambassador, that was just a tremendous move.

And you know, we're talking about certain things. You probably have heard the things we're talking about, and we're going to make a visit today to the DMZ because—longstanding visit with President Moon. And I just want to see how that's looking. And a lot of good things are happening with North Korea. I really believe that. A lot of good things. The relationship is very good. When I first came here, it was a disaster. It was a disaster.

In my opinion, had President Obama or somebody like President Obama—for instance, my opponent in the last election—had it worked that way, I honestly believe you would have been at war with North Korea. I've said it loud, and I've said it clear. And right now, as you know, we have no nuclear tests. We have no ballistic tests. We have gotten our hostages, our prisoners back, which we really appreciated, from Kim Jong Un, Chairman Kim. The remains are coming back as they get them, as they find them, the remains of our great heroes from the war. And we really appreciate that.

And there's a good feeling. There's a good relationship. And you know, I won't even say "developing." I just think we have a very good relationship, the two of us. I
