Geometry and vector to be excluded from college entrance exams in 2021

Pann : Subject that will be excluded from college entrance exams in 2 years 1. [+124, -1] This is serious. It goes against the generation of 4th industrial revolution. Do you think this is the only one? The prep classes for math/science olympiad are also forced to study according to the public education. Our country is very tiny but we sweep awards at the international competitions, so we invest a lot into elite education. However, taking out geometry and vector will result in students doing bad in the competitions. The industrial revolution aside, we won't even be able to catch up on university math. We can already tell differences in knowledge with sunbaes. How are they going to do group projects and assignments? This is such a dumb decision only aiming to be welcomed by science students. They must think universities will change their curriculums but big universities will make special admissions to those who studied geometry and vector privately. This will result in more advant...

Zhang Yuan argues with netizens over matters on Taiwan

Comment: "Zhang Yuan-ssi, whether Taiwan is China or Taiwan is up to the Taiwanese people to decide. It's not something Chinese people should be involved in. And if you want to make a living in Korea, you need to get rid of your sinocentrism or try not to show it. 99.9% of Korean people don't have a good opinion on sinocentrism. How can you show your sinocentric thoughts so confidently like that when you're earning money in Korea? Do you not have morals? If you don't like it, then you should go back to China. Why wouldn't you want to go back to your great country?" Zhang Yuan: "What an amazing person, you should comment after studying history and economics. I don't want to hold back since this isn't the first time. I'll display your comment today and delete it tomorrow." (He posted more of Korean comments on Weibo and said he got criticized after voicing his opinions and that he wanted to be comforted.) - Pann : Zhang Yua...

[+134, -3] Actor? 2. [+39, -6] HOT is the most unexpected one. Is it the power of money, not the number? 3. [+36, -5] IU's fandom is strong. Congrats, everyone. 4. [+31, -3] So disappointed with EXO-L... Even if they like Sehun the most, shouldn't they vote for Do Kyungsoo? 5. [+30, -2] Honestly, shouldn't they include true actors only on the list? No actor got an award and #1 is Sehun. 6. [+18, -1] The number of votes for the artists is amazing. IU's fandom is strong indeed. 7. [+18, -0] Didn't they say DO is the best actor in EXO?

Victim of Microdot's parents' scam writes on Pann

I wrote the original post for the first time in 2016. I wrote the posts when I saw them in the media because seeing them made me frustrated. The posts are already deleted. I didn't delete them, they got deleted by the servers. I'm saying that I didn't delete them voluntarily. At first, I did it because I was enraged. Why should I see the two brothers on the broadcast? Why should I see the faces I never want to see again? Up until now, I avoided all the broadcast with the brothers. However, I kept hearing about them through article titles on portal sites. What always made me mad was how they talked about growing up with hardships because they were scammed in New Zealand. Words cannot describe my feelings when I heard their parents appeared on the broadcast. When I was talking to a journalist, my mother was against me giving an interview. "Let's just forget about it. You should also stop it." But I was so upset when Microdot's reps called it "unf...

Mysterious profile of the original writer of Sungkyunkwan Scandal & Moon Embracing the Sun

Writer Jung Eun Gwol (pen name) earned annual royalties of $800K with Sungkyunkwan Scholars' Lives and Moon Embracing the Sun. In real life, she has an average job and her family and close friends don't even know that she's Jung Eun Gwol. She wrote the novels as a hobby after work and they happened to hit daebak. - Pann : Annual royalties the writer of Moon Embracing the Sun got 1. [+363, -2] I really envy her... She could be like, "I have a shitty job but I can manage it since I have $800K sitting in my bank account", "The stupid boss is at it again when he doesn't even have $800K, I'll forgive him since I have the $800K". 2. [+357, -0] Wow, even her life is like a novel story... An average worker who is secretly a bestseller that no one knows! My dream life. 3. [+291, -1] It's somehow awesome that she still works. 4. [+152, -2] Sungkyunkwan Scandal and Moon Embracing the Sun were huge hits. She only got $800K? 5. [+136, -1] $800K is...

Last Korean minors whose death sentence was executed

Bae Jinsun, Kim Chulwoo, Park Younghwan, and Kim Kwonsuk were 18~19 years old. In June, 1990, they broke into a 41-year-old man Mr. Kang's house with weapons. In front of Kang's family, they took turns to rape Kang's daughter. Also, they threatened to kill Kang's 1-year-old son with a knife and threatened the family. They took $15,000 worth of things from the family and ran away. They raped a total of 5 people from their 10 crimes and stole $30,000 worth of things before getting arrested. The ruling said, "The actions of the accused ones have destroyed the society's order of laws and morals completely. Not only the victims, but they also shocked the society greatly. Their planned crimes as a group which is beast-like show that they've given up to be humans. Therefore, they should be excluded from the society forever. The crime of putting a knife on the 1-year-old son's throat and raping 5 people in front of their families can never be forgiven." ...

Lee Hi's 941st day of hiatus

Pann : Artist who hasn't released an album for 941 days so far 1. [+123, -0] Her last comeback was before Blackpink's debut. 2. [+101, -1] Her contract is 10 years, she needs to get out of the treasure box. 3. [+83, -1] I really liked 1, 2, 3, 4, It's Over, and Rose. 4. [+39, -0] Does she get a monthly income? How does she even survive without releasing an album? 5. [+32, -1] They're treating her wrong. It's not like she gets bad results. 6. [+28, -1] Lee Hi should leave YG when her contract expires. She feels like a jewel buried in YG's treasure box. 7. [+25, -0] Doesn't Yang Hyun Suk feel guilty for wasting her life like that? If he has no thoughts on her new album, he should make her study. She's at the age where she can learn fast. It's crazy how they're leaving her like that. 8. [+22, -1] What's more absurd is that the fans called YG a treasure box to criticize them but YG made a program out of it. 9. [+21, -1] I really wonder ...
