Visit NANYANG GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL in Singapore - GLS project team of our school visit Nanyang Girls' high School GLS project team composed of 16 first graders has been in Singapore. This project activity was processed about a week, from 9/1 to 9/6. The students were divided 4 groups and each group consist on 4 students. After prior investigation for several months in Korea about various subjects of sightseeing, environment and education of Singapore that each team had selected, research in Singapore began.

felt. They told about kindness of Singapore people and the beauty of buildings. The English teacher told them about the history of Singapore and the features of Singapore's education.
After simple checking procedure, they could enter the school. The exterior and interior was not only clean and beautiful but also very grand fitted for its fame. What surprised students was the pictures and name of teachers attached on the wall of the interior. While they waited the English teacher of Nanyang Girls' High School who Woo Sinhye teacher had contacted with, the student president who took on the introduction of her school for us came and they exchanged greetings. The English teacher also welcomed them pleasantly. After the vice student president joined, the real school visit started.

Last, everyone took a photo all together and said good bye. What they thought after the meeting was that they should learn the Nanyang's students' independent and mature posture. And they also could know that comparing with Korea, Singapore students also felt huge stress and pressure about grade and study. In Singapore which is growing as the Mecca of education, meeting the growing students was happy and meaningful time. Furthermore, GLS project has helped not only our Korean students but also Singapore students to build grand view and expand the scope of their thinking .
Walking together the huge school with asking some questions each other, they arrived the school restaurant. Some of the students of the restaurant were watching tablet PC or books. It looks like they were very academic and passionate. Team 4 researching about Singapore's education decided to carry out survey with picket for the students. Every student joined the survey willingly. They last asked a girl who were playing K-pop songs constantly with the piano to join the survey. After finishing the survey, they headed to the library. In the conference room in the library, they discussed together. The topic was about the video conference class between Singapore and Korea schools and so on. There was an opinion that K-pop or literature would be all right for the topic of the class. Out students gave idea about the way of contact between Singapore's and Korea's students- e-mail, SNS like "facebook" and so on. They also talked about the Singapore itself that they, Korean had
Interviewing with Lee Lǎoshī Lăoshī is 'teacher' in chinese. I had the chance to interview Lee Youngsoon teacher, who teaches Chinese in Yonghwa Girl's high school. She readily agreed to my request for an interview. one of the scenes of the movie, "Almost a Love Story in class"
First, I asked her when she decided to be a Chinese teacher and why. When she was a middle school student, she liked to watch Hongkong films. Like how Hallyu swept through other countries these days, Hongkong films gained popularity at that time. She told me that there were some Hongkong films which were famous, such as "Swordsman", "a Chinese Ghost Story", "Chungking Express" and "Almost a Love Story". I remembered we saw "a Chinese Ghost Story" in class. She was fascinated with the pronunciation and intonation of Hongkong language. And she became more interested in China and Hongkong. But she told me that Hongkong language is different from the standard Chinese language, which we learn in a regular Chinese class. She enjoyed talking in Hongkong Language to her friends and she felt interest in communicating with people, learning and teaching that. So she became a Chinese teacher. She also told me what happened at the first year of her high school. At the moment she opened the door, something fell suddenly and lay in front of her eyes. She fell down in surprise at the sight of a head in front of her. It turned out to be a joke by the student who was in the beauty major. She brought dummies to school. In addition, half of the students in class were the students who were learning Japanese. The rest of the class finished with a dance and she still remembers it. When some students contacted and visited her after graduation, she felt good inside as a teacher. She said that meeting students at outside, not the school is another pleasure in her career. She recommended some books and places to go in China. She said, "All books have thoughts of many people, so whatever book you read, they contain wisdom. And that is why she reads books." One of the books she want to recommend was "Romance of Three Kingdoms". It is an well-known book but, as it has vast amounts of contents, students hesitate to read it. However, it has original philosophy and wisdom. There is even a saying that "Don't argue with a person who have already

read the book three times." She said that reading it can be a good opportunity to encounter new ideas. In China, There are The Five Vast Mountains that are well known, Taishan, Huashan, Hengshan, Hangshan, and Seungshan. There is also Huangsan in Anhui Province. Du Fu, a famous Chinese poet appreciated its beauty saying, "There's no need to go to The Five Vast Mountains if you have already been to HuangSea of clouds in Huangsan san." When she was there, she was fascinated by the magnificient sight by fine trees and sea of clouds. But we should be careful when climbing China's mountains because the mountain paths are consisted of stairs. At first, she climbed the mountain without knowing it, so she nearly developed arthritis. So, she told me that we had better have physical strength to climb Above all, there are lots of beautiful places in China like desert and pasture in inner Mongolia, Xihu in Hangzhou, Ice Festival in Harbin and Changjiang Sanxia. She recommended going backpacking to those places later and said“Though China is right next to us, we don’t know each other.”She was surprised at the cultural differences between China and Korea a picture of Lee Youngsoon teacher while experiencing many things in China. in Changjiang Sanxia, China However, as both of them are confusianism nations, they have many things in common. Lastly, she gave some advices to students. “Find out your dreams and Try to achieve them. It sounds easy but it’s hard to do. If you have dreams, you will have the strength to go ahead for your goals. From now on, imagine the future of what you have wanted to become, don't just dream. Then, Surprisingly, you can see you have already become what you had hoped to be.” I really appreciate her kindness of agreeing to my request for an interview even though she had so much things going on.

Korea-Philippines Teacher Exchange Program Bridging Races Through Education The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization-Asia-Pacific Center of Education for International Understanding (UNESCO-APCEIU) and the Korean Ministry of Education sent 24 Filipino teachers to South Korea for two and a half months, that is, from early October until third week of December this year. This venture is aimed at cultural understanding through education. Of the 24 Filipino teachers, two were assigned at YongHwa Girls High School, namely, Ms. Fritzie Gay S. Lusica and Ms. Kristalyn P. Aquino.

I was impressed when she said: “Be confident when you speak because you already have the skill.” Indeed, these are very effective words of encouragement! ************************************************************************** Teacher Fritzie said to Yonghwa girls "Continue striving hard in class for it is your ticket to a more fulfilling life."

I was particularly amazed at Ms. Lusica’s long name, given that here in Korea, names are preferably composed of just one syllable. In an interview with her, she shared that back in the Philippines she teaches high school students like us. When asked about what she considered surprising here in the country, she mentioned the efficiency in the system of payments and that almost everything has been already digitized including bus and train fares, store purchases, among others. On Filipino food, she cited Adobo (meat simmered in a marinade) as one of the most famous dishes, which she had also discussed in one of our class sessions. Further, she added that they have a quite diverse number of languages perhaps due to the

5. What was the most strenuous moment in your life as a high school teacher?

Memorable Three Days in Jeju Island : Part 1
The New Star, EXO
First grade students of Yonghwa girls high school went to Jeju island. It was the first school trip in highschool for 3 days. We were divided into each team and each title. 1-1 students had a title that is about nature of Jeju island. First day we boarded a t-way plane that was shaking, it was shaking so hard that we could not control our body. Although we arrived in safety. We were surprised when we arrived in Jeju because the weather of Jeju and Seoul was quiet different. The weather in Jesu was very hot. First of all, we went sightseeing. Yong-meo-ri Coast looked like a tail of a dragon and that’s why the name was created. There were beautiful cliff and the beach which was shining with emerald color. We came across women divers who sold a lot of marine products and anglers. Our second tourist attraction was Ju-sang-jul-li. There were a lot of hexagon shaped stone pillar that looked like apartments. It seemed to change its shape depending on each perspective. Last we went to see Chun-ji-yun waterfall named because it liaises between sky and ground. Second day we boarded a ship about 15 mintues in u-do. We looked around the u-do. Next destination aqua planet had many spectacles. Two of woman divers showed performance about how to get marine products. We also watched princess mermaid’s performance. By looking around, we could see marine life living in Jeju only. Last day we went to Sa-rue-ny forest and Jeju 4.3 peace park. We spent good time talking with my friends, walking Sa-yu-ni forest. Jeju 4.3 peace park gave us opportunity to know more information about Jeju. We were little disappointed about not having a chance to experience such as riding a horse or bike. But I believe this trip will remain as good memories. EDIT_ Ye-jin Shin
Behind Stories of School Trip : Part 2 Then, did all of the students enjoy their school trip? Absolutely, “yes”. Not only Jeju's beautiful tourist spot, but also student's accommodation was very impressive. For students, accommodation is as important as traveling course. It should be great place for student's rest, so it is meaningful to students. Fortunately, Jeju's hotels were enough to satisfy students' expectation. As students were looking forward to their accommodations, there are lots of behind stories of our school trip! Now I'll introduce all of the stories that happened at student's accommodations. There were four hotels : Daemyung, Hanhwa, Iilsung and Punglim. About three to four classes used one resort. Class 7,8,9 used Daemyung resort, class 3,4,6 used Hanhwa resort, class 5,10,13,14 used Iilsung resort, and class 1,2,11,12 used Punglim resort. Each of the resorts had their own recreation program on second day of the trip.
EXO is a boy group of SM Entertainment who debuted on April 8th, 2012 with their first mini album 'MAMA'. Their group name 'EXO' is motivated by 'EXO Planet', which means and outer planet of the solar system. So the name contains the meaning of the new star from the unknown world. Because of the meaning of their group's name, they have been saying that each 12 members have their own super powers ; flying, lightening, teleporting, fire, psychokinesis, time control, power, freezing, healing, wind, and lightning. Doing the first mini album 'MAMA', they were divided in two groups ; EXO-M (Kris, Lay, Luhan, Xiumin, Chen, Tao) who make a career as singer in China, and EXO-K(Suho, D.O., BaekHyun, Chanyeol, Kai, Sehun) who do in Korea. And on June 3rd, they came back about a year after they have stopped completing the first mini album, with their first regular album 'XOXO(Kiss&Hug)' and the repackage album 'XOXO(Kiss&Hug) Repackage'. This time, however, they came back with all of their members, and this brought huge attention and popularity. EXO have been crowned as the million-selling artist ahead with their album 'XOXO(Kiss&Hug)'. Also, EXO has been recording their amazing sales volume, breaking 900thousands of albums. In addition they showed their power in record industry, being a new record king. Passing million sales volume have been non-exsisting since 2001. Moreover, since the collapse of the record industry and legal online music market appearing, until EXO, it is the first. The music industry is now paying attention on whether EXO would be the million-selling artist or not. As a result, EXO who attracted the public in such a short time and became hot issue is expected to perform a brilliant exploit in the music industry. EDIT_ Ji-Young Ro
In case of resort "Punglim", Three classes applied to talent show, the flower of the reacreation program. Class 12 performed "Do you love me", a song of 2ne1. Next, Class 1 showed three stages : BUBIBU(Apink), Sherlock(SHINee) and Gentleman(Psy). The last stage of class 1 was very exciting because all of classmates participated in the performance. Class 2 also showed lots of joyful performances : NoNoNo(Apink), Papapa(Crayon Pop) and Gangnam Style(Psy). The winning team was class 1, but all of the student's efforts shone brightly at this time. The attached photo of the performance is Sherlock, the performance of class 1. After the recreation, all of the students went back to their rooms and stayed up all night. They played board games, water gun games, hide and seek and so on. Visiting snack bar was one of a big fun. By enjoying games and snacks, night of Jeju island was too short. Student Ham Da-min, class 1 said "This trip was great enough to be the best experience in my school life. Since it was too tired to play with my friends all day long, the trip was really impressive. Being along with friends for three days gave me unforgettable memory". EDIT_ Hye-yeon Yoo

Let’s fall in Vibe Nowadays, weather is going to be colder and colder. it means winter is coming. About this time, many people looking for calm musics like a ballad. ballad is a genre of music. A ballad is a form of verse, often a narrative set to music. Ballads derive from the medieval French chanson balladée or ballade, which were originally "dancing songs". The form was often used by poets and composers from the 18th century onwards to produce lyrical ballads. In the later 19th century it took on the meaning of a slow form of popular love song and the term is now often used as synonymous with any love song, particularly the pop or rock power ballad. So I decided to go my favorite ballad singers concert. I went to the concert with my friend and family. it was vibe. Vibe's concert was held at Lotte card arthall center in 15.10, 2013. Lotte card arthall center is a liitle theather so audience can communicate with singers more closely. I could see singers more clear and listened musics very well.
Vibe is well known as earnest ballad songs. for example, 그 남자 그여자, 술이야 etc. and they are consisted of two men, who is Ryu jae hyun and Yoon min soo. Ryu jae hyun is really famous composer and he also sings very well. he composed SG wannabe 살다가, Seeya 구두, FTIsland 사랑앓이 etc.. and Yoon min soo has a powerful voice and outstanding singing ability. He became more popular with his son Yoon hoo in Father where are you going?(아빠 어디가?) that MBC entertainment program. They also sang their many hit songs and held a event that Vibe sang a song of celebration who is going to marry soon. It will be a memorable experience to them. When encore time, everybody was stand up and clapped their hands and also danced. especially 'you're ma girl' choreography was really cute. I think this dance is really easy to dance. I was impressed that everyone was going to be altogether. The concert took 3 hours but I felt like time passed by very fast. After concert, I handshake with Vibe. It is really memorable event in my life.
Vibe said they want to sing as many as songs in this time.

Coca-Cola’s Secret Success Formula The consumption of soft drinks has risen dramatically in the recent years. Did you ever realize that soft drinks hold 51% of the total beverage market? Despite the fact that they are not good for health, still most of us take soft drinks without any fuss. Pepsi and Coca-cola pops on our mind when we talk about soft drink market. They are the two international soft drink giants which control most of the soft drinks beverage business in the world. They have been battling each other for more than a century. Yet, people still find it not very easy to choose between Pepsi and Coca-cola. However in today’s beverage market, it has become clear that Coca-Cola surpasses Pepsi. What is the secret to their high reputation?
Soft Drink Brands Market Share
Whenever we enter a supermarket to get a soft drink, we always face a brick wall, deciding between Pepsi and Sprite Coke Coca-Cola. Since these two 8% 26% taste the same and have Diet Pepsi 8% similar pricing, we see no Dr. Pepper big difference. However, Diet Coke 9% 15% according to the graph, you Moutain Dew Pepsi can see Coca-Cola (includ10% 15% ing Diet Coke) takes almost half of the soft drink brands market share. In short, Cocacola outsells Pepsi by around two times in the coke market. Looking around, you can find Coke everywhere compared to Pepsi. For example, most of the fast food chains such as McDonalds, KFC and Subway, they usually sell Coke. Places you could buy Pepsi, Coke Fanta 3%

Is Seafood Safe?
always is there. In addition, places where Pepsi is sold are comparatively smaller than that of Coke. As Coca-Cola is the only option in most food retailers and restaurants, people only get to drink it and thus form the brand loyalty effect. Even in places where both brands are offered, people tend to have a bias to purchase Coca-Cola over Pepsi. The store owners are also under the effects of brand loyalty, so they will also purchase Coca-Cola to sell to the consumer. There are of course many other factors that make Coke dominant over Pepsi such as its pricing strategies, marketing, product design, etc. However its dominance can be largely attributed to Coca-Cola’s dominance over Pepsi. The second significant factor of how Coca-Cola dominates the market is their marketing strategy. Let’s first have a look at its history. In 1886, John Pemperton, the chemist, combined various ingredients to alleviate pain for headaches. He realized that it actually tasted nice and added sparkling water to it. That is how Coca-cola begun its striking history. Coca-cola has appeared in the business market and it moved its successful way within a few years. What made them so popular is that they had an outstanding marketing strategy over other markets. The reason in part of this is their strong advertising. Coca-Cola has always relied in advertising to promote their brand. There are many advertisements such as Coca-Cola Christmas, CocaCola polar bears and Coca-Cola in sports. Since 1928, the Coca-Cola Company’s active support of the Olympic has continually grown in scope and depth. Today, Coca-Cola is the longest continuous Olympic sponsor. It also has continued to build on existing relationships with global sports events such as the FIFA World Cup. From the early beginnings when just nine drinks a day were served, Coca-Cola has grown to be the world’s most ubiquitous brand, with more than 1.6 billion beverage servings sold each day. Now, it aims to produce in a sustainable way that benefits consumers and the communities we operate in. EDIT_ Hanna Lee
The Truths Of Energy Drink : The Caffeine How often do you drink Energy Drink?
Recently, the number of consumers who buy seafood sharply decreased. The consumers are worried about safety of eating seafood because of radioactive contamination in Japan. The radioactive substance flows in the sea and is going to circulate all over the world through the sea. The concentration would be weaken. But is it really okay to feel relieved about that?
When it came out first, it was popular to athletes. Because, it makes carbohydrate, protein and fat to change to energy. But these days it became popular to teenagers who need concentration when they study. Because it has taurine and caffeine which has fatigue recovery effect and arousal effect. According to Korea Food & Drug Administration, acceptable daily intake is 400 (mg) for adults, 300 (mg) for pregnant women and 2.5 (mg) per weight for teenagers. But, the caffeine in the Energy Drink is septuple than coke and more than take-out coffee. Some people send worrying messages to drinkers. It's because of too much caffeine ine Energy Drink. Then, why lots of caffeines are dangerous to people? Because, lots of caffeines can cause some side effects to people. When you addicted caffeine, side effects are anxiety, excitement, insomnia, flush, polyuria, cacochlia, convulsion, overdelicate, gastric ulcer and headache. These side effects can continue 2 to 9 days. However, these days some teenagers mix some Energy Drinks and drink it. But, it's too dangerous. If you mix Energy Drinks, caffeines rise and the rising can expedite bad effects. Researchers didn't find the exact bad effect of taurine but it can cause osteoporosis which is very bad to pregnant.
The radioactive substance can be flow in the Korean sea. The three routes exist.
According to A Energy Drink homepage site, they said Energy Drink can't make continuous advantages. It can make just temporary effect. So, they call it health supplement food. If you want to control your tiredness, you must do not depend on only Energy Drink just keep some regular exercises and good eating habits.
T he substance would move up by the wind from the southwest. In 3 to 4 days, it can be introduced to Korea.
If you are already addicted, you should try to avoid drinking Energy Drink and to have more vitamins.
The material would go around the earth and reach Korea in 2 to 3 weeks.
EDIT_ Ji Yoon Lee
This is expected to be a route of the influx of the radioactive material that was found in Korea. Passing through the Arctic, the substance can be introduced to Korea.

But these possibility are very low. Also, it takes two or three years that Kuroshio current reaches Korea. During the period, the material will be diluted. Therefore, the possibility to contaminate the Korean sea is rare. EDIT_ SeungJu Lee

Dangerous Nowon; abandoned radiation waste in our backyard In 2011, radiation rate exceeding 10 times of the normal rate were detected from the road of Nowon-gu, and contaminated asphalt pieces were directly removed. After the removal, 200 tons out of total 480 tons of waste were sent to radioactive waste site of Gyungju. However, due to the strong objection of Gyungju citizens, the rest of the radioactive waste (280 tons) is still deserted in the backyard of Nowongu office. Considering radiation’s terrible impact on human body and environment, there is no doubt that this will tremendously affect the regional environment and citizen’s health. There are three reasons why keeping them in the Nowon-gu is so hazardous. 1. There is not a single sign of warning near the waste site
As mentioned in the photo above, there is no clue for people to recognize the place as a radiation waste site. Only walls that were set provisionally
are stopping people from entering the place. Therefore, citizens who are passing near the site have to be exposed to those fatal chemicals without any beforehand notice. 2. Atomic Energy Commission(AEC)’s Poor Excuse 1; the radiation level is similar to naturally occurred one, therefore posing no harm to people?
Well, what experts say is different. Professor Seo Kyun Ryul, the faculty member of department of nucleonics in Seoul National Universitiy declared that cesium detected near the waste site is the special matter that occurs only after the nuclear explosion or atomic power plant accidents. Therefore, even if those chemicals and radiation exist less than natural standard level, no one can assure that those matters won’t pose any threat to human body. 3. Atomic Energy Commission(AEC)’s Poor Excuse 2; it is safe since the waste is double wrapped?
After the detailed examination with professional agency, Cesium 137 was detected within a minute. And
the signal was received within surrounding 50m. The gamma rays were reaching to the near road, passing through the walls and bricks. Therefore, as a resident of Nowon-gu, it was quite disappointing to see those numerous limitations on how Atomic Energy Commission managed to dispose the radiation waste. They should provide us new effective solution as soon as possible to stop the further spread of radiation, and thus, they should also consider the ways to remove the leftover chemicals and radiation to purify the radiation level in Nowon-gu.

Bicycle; Wisdom of Life and Real Education Education means raising personality by teaching knowledge and technique. In this context, the most important thing is ‘raising personality’. This is the ultimate purpose of education. Each character built by education influences each life. In other words, we learn to lead our lives. There is a special subject in elementary school of Germany; Riding a bicycle. It’s an essential subject in Germany. There are a few steps of learning. In the first and second grade, students become familiar with their bicycles. Then when they get to become third and fourth grade, they learn about riding
bicycles ‘safely’. And when they are in eighth grade(13 years old), they go trip for 3 weeks by riding bicycles with expenses that they prepared by themselves in advance. Riding bicycles is similar to life. And there are some valuable lessons for our lives which is acquired from bike; It does not fall down while it is running. When it is about to fall, you should turn handle drastically to direction which is likely to fall down to keep balance. When you go on downhill road, stop working pedals and just leave yourself. To stop well at the right place is much more important than working pedals incessantly. And all these things can be learned after you fall down. From tricycles to two wheels bike, children feel a sense of achievement and by doing so, they are growing up.
This is the real education which can allow them to lead their lives. Real education. Koreans always long for it and say it. But at the same time it may be a boring idea. Because Korea’s education known as ‘teaching by rote’ and the fact that students are fed up of it is very common already. Despite of this it seems like there is no alteration. But I think we’re on the uphill road. It will not change greatly in a short time but finally it will be. Thus we should go forward with courage and patience like riding bicycle. Cheer up !

German students are learning about how to handle the problems when they get to face with difficulties, how to enjoy delights, and importance of patience and courage.
Seperated Family Meeting Be Delayed Do you know the sorrow of the seperated family? They can't see each other, although they are living in one territory. They only have the desire to see their families. They are called the 'Seperated Family'. In 1950s, the Korean war occurred. North Korean soldiers came to the southern part of the peninsula the war. That's when they lost their family members. And at the end of the war, they were divided into citizens of the North Korea and South Korea. After they parted company each other several times they met, but the last meeting was the end. 2013, this year, the seperated family finally had a chance to meet each other again. They were really happy
and their mind growed restless. Even though they had plan the things to do. They might have wanted to eat dinner together and talked together. They must have not celebrated their families' birthday. But, in no time their plans turned into ash. The North announced that they no longer wanted to hold seperated family meeting. In a sudden, they lost the chance to meet their family.
while waiting to meet their families. 20years later, the first generation of the seperated family will disappear. I hope the chance comes fast. EDIT_ Hye-won Kwon
The South government tried to guess why th North wanted to delay the event. There are two reasons possible. The first reason is the Kim Jung Eun's personal rumor. This rumor is a sensitive issue, and it spreaded into our country. That might make Kim Jung Eun jangled. And the second one is the Gaeseong Industrial Complex problem. It might also make the chairman feel uneasy. Now, we are divided. But for the seperated families who can no longer live with their family, we must make a chance to let them meet again. They don't have enough time left for them. One of the seperated familes could die

Medical Focus Drama: Medical Top Team
Love story of Bonnie & Clyde Some love stories are remembered in people's mind for a long time and they are recreated in many ways. This year, the love of Bonnie & Clyde were introduced in many different ways. Not just in 2013, their story had made to movie before as it was famous story that almost everyone knows.
Recently, in MBC, Medical Drama Medical Top Team started. It's a story about the best doctors' 'dream team'. Main Characters are Park Tae Shin, So Ju Young, Han Seoung Jae.. etc. In this drama, there are lots of emergency situation that the actors use very complex medical terms. For example, in 1st episode, there are terms such as 'Melas Syndrome', 'Code Blue'... etc. MELAS is a condition that affects many of the body's systems, particularly the brain and nervous system (encephalo-) and muscles (myopathy). In most cases, the signs and symptoms of this disorder appear in childhood following a period of normal development. Early symptoms may include muscle weakness and pain, recurrent headaches, loss of appetite, vomiting, and seizures. Most affected individuals experience stroke-like episodes beginning before age 40. And 'Code Blue' means the patient needs CPR(cardiopulmonary resuscitation) helping heart breathing.
However, they were not just an ordinary couple. They were well-known American gangster couple during 1930s. Clyde was farmer's son and his house wasn't rich. Since 1926, he committed a crime and imprisoned to Eastham Prison Farm in 1930. In the place, other prisoner do violence to him, and this became the reason of his first murder. Bonnie was from a normal family and she married when she was in 2nd grade of highschool. But her marriage life was not that long, and she hadn't met him since January 23th, 1926. Before she broke up with her husband, She lived with her mother at Dallas and worked as a waitress. The story of their first meeting is not clear, but the most believable one is that they met in Bonnie's friend's house at Dallas. Clyde visited that house when she was making hot chocolate. They started to live freely and police chased them because they committed a crime like theft and even murder. But their love was real. Bonnie wrote a poem about her love and Clyde lifted Bonnie in his arms when she got hurt during following him. He was a cold person to everyone, bur for her, he was warm and kind. Although they were gangsters, as 1930s was Great Depression, people cheered the couple. As they wanted, they finally carried in the first page of newspaper. However, they were shooted 180 holes of bullet from police and died in their car.
Next, there are reasons about the doctors' behaviors on operation. In 2nd eposide, the doctors say "Time Out" on Eun Ba Wi's operation. What does it mean? This word has the story. In 2006, an university hospital, there was an accident that two patients' charts were changed. The one had to cut his thyroid and the other patient had to cut his stomach. But their charts had changed, and the patients were, too. To prevent like this accident, 'Time Out' system was made. Docters check the patients' chart and confirm if they are going on his or her operation right.
This year, we can easily meet their love story. First, the muscial < Bonnie & Clyde > were shown in this September. Some people say that they cannot understand their story because even they loved each other, they are criminals and their love is hard to understand. But other people say that they were young and their love was pure, also the time when they lived was during Great Depression, so everyone was hard to live. Clear thing is that their young braveness toward society and the romance between Bonnie & Clyde had became beautiful music through this musical. The musical got public's interest as key of shinee and Park hyung sik of ZEA took part in muscial as a Clyde. Also the composer of Jekyll & hyde, Frank wildhorn composed the song.
Last, there was an emergency situation of Eun Ba Wi. She had a Tension pheumothorax. A pneumothorax (pl. pneumothoraces) is an abnormal collection of air or gas in the pleural space that separates the lung from the chest wall and which may interfere with normal breathing. It causes without the reason so we have to be careful about this.
Second, "Trouble maker" had realsed album this October and their concept was the story of Bonnie & Clyde. They acted like a real couple and their music videos soon got a lot of interest. They expressed their own sexy image through their song "Now", and their concept also got attention as they become popular.
In Medical Drama, we can know lots of information about health and medical terms we didn't know.
They were young, free and loved like it was their last time. Maybe this is the reason why the story of the couple is created in many ways.
