'Old' K-pop stars making comeback

Moon Hee-jun, Eun JI-won, Danny Ahn, Tony An and Cheon Myeong-hoon pose in a press conference for their show titled “Pretty Boys of the20th Century” in this file photo. / Courtesy of QTVThe first generations are usually revered for paving the way.In the fast-moving music industry, that hasn’t been quite the case as newer and latest boy and girl-groups have taken over from their predecessors, leaving not much stage room for the first and second generations.First generation K-pop stars have been struggling to re-establish their presence on stage as differences have led to disbandment, expiration of contracts and male stars being called to perform compulsory military service. A rare exception has been the six-member Shinhwa who came out with their 11th album, “The Classic,” in late May.

Seen above is Rainbow Warrior III, a 58-meter-long $33 million schooner, which succeeded II, which now serves as hospital ship in Bangladesh and I, which was sunk by French agents who tried to prevent it from blocking a nuclear test in the South Pacific. The Rainbow Warrior III will visit Busan on its mission to draw the public’s attention to the dangers of nuclear power and call on the Korean government to take steps to prevent disasters such as that in Fukushima, Japan, in 2011. Perhaps, considering the scope of the danger, Rainbow Warrior III should be in North Korea, which oftentimes resorts to brinkmanship to hold the entire world hostage. Not doing so gives rise to impressions that the 42-year-old global NGO has become mellow, losing its starting spirit of doing what it takes to get things done. Maybe not. Keep up the good work! /  Korea Times photo and essay by Shi
