Ch1tkey melakoni challenge dengan berpura-pura melompat dari atap. Namun, sang rapper terpeleset dan jatuh dari gedung 5 lantai. Ch1tkey sempat dibawa ke rumah sakit, tetapi akhirnya meninggal.
Kabar duka datang dari rapper Ch1tkey yang diberitakan meninggal dunia secara tragis. Seorang kenalan dekat pada 29 Juli membagikan detail peristiwa naas yang menimpa sang rapper underground hingga kehilangan nyawanya.
Kenalan dekat mengungkap, "Salah satu temannya berjanji kepada pemirsa mereka bahwa jika jumlah pengikut Instagram tertentu tercapai, Ch1tkey akan melompat dari atap. Ketika target tercapai, Ch1tkey dan temannya pergi ke atap."
Ch1tkey sebenarnya berencana berpura-pura melakoni challenge itu. Namun, sang rapper terpeleset dan benar-benar jatuh dari gedung 5 lantai. "Rencananya adalah berpura-pura jatuh lalu memberikan hadiah kepada pemirsa secara acak," tutur kenalan dekat itu.
"Namun, Ch1tkey terpeleset dan jatuh. Itu adalah gedung berlantai lima dengan langkan di tengahnya. Temannya awalnya mengira itu lelucon dan pergi untuk memeriksanya, tetapi Ch1tkey tidak merespons," sambung kenalan dekat itu.
Ch1tkey segera dilarikan ke rumah sakit, tetapi nyawanya sudah tidak tertolong. "Mereka memanggil ambulans dan membawanya ke ruang gawat darurat, tetapi ia dinyatakan meninggal karena serangan jantung," pungkas kenalan dekat itu.
Cerita yang dibagikan kenalan dekat Ch1tkey ini langsung viral di media sosial. Akun Instagram Ch1tkey sejak saat itu dibanjiri komentar yang meratapi kematiannya yang terlalu dini karena sang rapper baru berusia 21 tahun.
Seorang gadis yang di diduga sebagai pacar Ch1tkey mengunggah di Instagram story-nya, menulis, "Aku percaya kamu hidup bebas di dunia yang selalu kamu impikan. Kamu telah bekerja keras. Mari kita bertemu setiap hari dalam mimpi kita. Aku sangat bersyukur telah menjadi cinta pertamamu."
Sementara itu, Ch1tkey adalah seorang rapper underground yang aktif dan membagikan banyak lagunya di SoundCloud. Pria kelahiran tahun 2003 itu pernah terlibat kontroversi karena merilis lagu yang merendahkan mantan Presiden Roh Moo Hyun.

Other leaders around the World are killed.
I believe we need the death penalty for the President of the United States for all members of Congress for all government officials.
We have no problem in killing leaders of other countries of the World or calling for them to be put to death.
So i'm fine with former bill clinton president put the death....
So I don't understand how we can hold other countries leadership to this level and kill them and we don't hold our leadership to the same sword....

How can Lee Young Ae support a tyrant who oppressed and tortured people? She should stick to acting and stay away from politics. #LeeYoungAe #RheeSyngman #Disappointed
Lee Young Ae, one of the most respected actresses in South Korea, has stirred up a controversy after donating a large sum of money to a memorial foundation of a former president who is widely criticized for his authoritarian rule and human rights violations. The actress defended her action by saying that she wanted to honor the leader’s contribution to the country’s freedom and democracy, but many netizens and fans expressed their disappointment and anger at her political stance.
Who is Lee Young Ae?
Lee Young Ae is a veteran actress who rose to fame with her roles in historical dramas such as Dae Jang Geum and Saimdang, Memoir of Colors. She is known for her elegant and graceful image, as well as her versatile acting skills. She has also starred in movies such as Sympathy for Lady Vengeance and Bring Me Home.
(Photo : KissAsian) Lee Young Ae has been praised for her philanthropic activities, such as donating to various causes and supporting underprivileged children. She is also a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF and UNESCO. She has been married to a businessman since 2009 and has two children.
What did Lee Young Ae do?
On October 3, 2023, it was reported that Lee Young Ae had donated 50 million KRW (about 37,000 USD) to the construction of the Presidential Memorial of Rhee Syngman, the first President of South Korea from 1948 to 1960. Rhee Syngman is regarded as a founding father of the Republic of Korea, but he is also accused of being a dictator who oppressed his political opponents, rigged elections, and violated human rights.
(Photo : Twitter) In a letter addressed to the foundation, Lee Young Ae wrote: I sincerely respect President Rhee Syngman, who laid the foundation for freedom and democracy in South Korea. He protected our country from the North Korean invasion with his strong leadership and patriotism. I hope that his spirit will be remembered by future generations. She also added: I am not trying to cover up the mistakes that he made in history. The mistakes will remain mistakes in history. But if we live without hate while looking at their contributions to the country, we can live in a more peaceful country.
(Photo : Lee Young Ae Official Instagram) Lee Young Ae also revealed that she had sponsored the memorial foundations of other former presidents, such as Park Chung Hee, Kim Young Sam, Kim Dae Jung, and Roh Moo Hyun.

How did people react?
Lee Young Ae’s donation and letter sparked mixed reactions from the public. Some people praised her for her generosity and patriotism, while others criticized her for her ignorance and bias. Some of the comments are: “She is a great actress and a great person. She respects the history and the leaders who sacrificed for our country. She is not blinded by ideology or prejudice.” “She is so disappointing. How can she support a dictator who killed and tortured innocent people? She is living in a fantasy world where she thinks that he was a hero. She should learn more about the truth and apologize.” “She has the right to express her opinion and donate her money to whoever she wants. It’s her personal choice and freedom. We should respect that and not judge her based on her political views.” “She is so naive and clueless. She doesn’t know anything about politics or history. She only cares about her image and popularity. She should stay away from controversial issues and focus on acting.” Some fans also expressed their disappointment and sadness at Lee Young Ae’s decision, saying that they had lost respect for her as an actress and a role model.
What is Lee Young Ae’s next project?
Despite the controversy, Lee Young Ae is set to return to the small screen with a new drama titled Maestra, which will air on tvN in December 2023. The drama is a thriller that revolves around a female orchestra conductor who hides her dark secrets behind her passionate and bold personality. She becomes involved in mysterious incidents that happen within the orchestra.

Royal Visit to Shanai
In order to cool tensions King Henri sends Princess Jacqueline back to university and Princess Charlene on a diplomatic mission to Shanai in her first solo overseas trip on behalf of the country. Prime Minister Huntley’s government officials and President Roh Moo-hyun have been in negotiations for at least 4 months for a trade deal between the nations. The royal visit is intended to finalize the deal.
In her short visit the Princess has an audience with the President, afternoon tea with the First Lady and delivers a speech on behalf of her father. For the evening portion of the visit she was joined by close friend and confidant Arthur Beauchamp who was there for moral support. HRH was also seen taking a private tour of the cherry blossoms park earlier in the day.
It looks like the Princess has also received new protection officers for the trip in the form of two ex-special forces officers which many people are taking as a hint towards a big announcement. After all this is the type of trip that we would expect from a crown royal or the King himself. However, it could be that the palace is shielding Clarisse until the scandal blows over.

the attorney (2013)
how do you judge a film that centres around a modern historical event & biopic, written for a patriotic domestic audience whose minds are still afresh with emotions of the era?
song kang-ho plays enterprising tax-turned-human rights lawyer sung woo-suk, who is not so discreetly modelled after roh moo hyun, who was also involved in the 1987 uprisings against korea’s then-authoritarian rule and later became the president of korea. the film takes place in 1981, when the spectre of the 1980 gwangju uprising looms large in everyone’s minds. for historical context, the 1980s was a dark period in korea’s history, when korea was ruled by a series of authoritarian and heavy-handed presidents. the images of 1980 gwangju often remind people of tiananmen.
having been treated kindly by an ahjumae who sells gukbap when he was a poor construction worker studying to become a lawyer, song sacrifices his lucrative career to defend her son and university students, who have been arrested on the counts of studying contraband literature that promotes socialist unrest. in a plot that closely narrates reality, song sets out to prove the innocence of these university students and expose the inhumane torture methods employed by the police to extract confessions.
there is little room to comment on the plot itself, given that the film is so tightly tethered to historical events (in the same way that i am frustrated by the plot in juror 8). often i find that historical films get more creative leniency when remaking events that happen generations ago (say the age of shadows), or are based on unique strands (a taxi driver). but this film is so wholeheartedly patriotic and historical, that it loses nuance and self-awareness. in an impassioned exchange, the villainous cop instructs song that this is a case of national security, and the law does not apply to national security cases. the camera then closes up on song - “who decides what cases are of national security? you said the country? who constitutes the country? according to the constitution, the country is its people & their freedoms!” tell me this is not a clear appeal to the audience’s patriotism (don’t get me wrong, i actually liked this scene the most.. song’s acting brought tears to my eyes! it’s just in your face)
at 2h 17m, the film lags and drags on at certain moments too. a lot of background-setting around roh/sung, and plenty of police brutality scenes. when you know that there are no surprises round the corner, the scenes become slightly self indulgent.
and when historical films like these are made, characterisation is often sacrificed. song tried to imbibe his character with as much depth as possible (the everyman rockstar overcoming inner turmoil with a strong moral compass), and im si-wan did a deft job at portraying the emaciated soulless student. but those familiar with korean history will also know that roh, although very much celebrated as a folk hero through sung, committed suicide in 2009 after intense bribery allegations. given a somewhat divided national memory of roh, this film is uncomfortably generous in its praise and commemoration of his activist legacy. it is fine to celebrate his deeds independently of what he did before or after, but to do so without nuance is slightly irresponsible film-making.
ironically, what i got most out of the film was a critical appreciation of historiography and historical memory in film-making. being a trained historian, seeing e.h. carr’s what is history? accused of instigating fascism provoked a lot of thinking. on one hand, the above is criticism of the film, but on the other, it is a demonstration of how engaged i am with the film’s material. i think there are better films about 1980s korea, but here is a decent one if you need a nationalistic jolt. -- 6/10

Roh Moo-hyun (Hangul: 노무현; Hanja: 盧武鉉; RR: No Muhyeon; Korean pronunciation: [no.mu.ɦjʌn]) GOM (1 September 1946 – 23 May 2009) was a South Korean politician who served as President of South Korea (2003–2008). Roh's pre-presidential political career was focused on human rights advocacy for student activists in South Korea. His electoral career later expanded to a focus on overcoming regionalism in South Korean politics, culminating in his election to the presidency. He achieved a large following among younger internet users, particularly at the website OhMyNews, which aided his success in the presidential election.
Roh's election was notable for the arrival in power of a new generation of Korean politicians, the so-called 386 Generation (people in their thirties, when the term was coined, who had attended university in the 1980s and who were born in the 1960s). This generation had been veterans of student protests against authoritarian rule, and advocated a conciliatory approach towards North Korea, even at the expense of good relations with the United States. Roh himself was the first South Korean president to be born after the end of Japanese rule in Korea.

Yoon Jong-shin, new song 'Living in the heart' released on the 30th…
Singer Yoon Jong-shin conveys his longing for the late former President Roh Moo-hyun through a new song.
Yoon Jong-shin announced the release of the December issue of the 'Monthly Yoon Jong-shin' project 'Living in the Heart' through his Instagram.
The December issue of 'Monthly Yoon Jong-shin', 'Living in the Heart', is a song with lyrics of warm consolation that reminds you of a person you miss. The song was produced in two versions: Park In-young and Song Young-joo, and Jo Jeong-chi and Park In-young arrangement.
Yoon Jong-shin announced the release of the song and introduced the missing people who will appear in the music video. The late Kim Mi-duk, the mother of film director Byeon Young-joo, the late singer Kim Seong-jae, who passed away in 1995, and the late former President Roh Moo-hyun, who passed away in 2009, were mentioned. In particular, Yoon Jong-shin introduced them one by one in his Instagram story and drew attention by writing 'I miss you' about former President Roh.
Yoon Jong-shin introduced glasses, a keepsake of former President Roh, on the album cover and said, “President Roh Moo-hyun always kept books close. He preferred to read several books at once rather than reading them one by one. Even when he reached the age where he had to wear reading glasses, he always read books with his glasses next to him.”
'Monthly Yoon Jong-shin' December issue 'Living in the Heart' will be released on various music sites on the 30th.
