The internationally famous singer Nam Jin from South Korea interpreting the Paul Anka song “You Are My Destiny”. I had the honor of hearing this interpretation in China in 2008.
Felicidades para la Republica de Corea por avanzar en la Copa Mundial 2010. Mis mejores deseos para ti. Incluso, envio mis saludos a mis amigos y familia de la KBS [Radio y Television de la Republica de Corea] por si acaso son asiduos lectores de la pagina de Univision.
Felicidades para Argentina por avanzar en los octavos
Congratulations to the Republic of Korea and Argentina on their victories.
La Asociación de Difusores de la Radio y Televisión de Asia [ABU] fallo a favor de la República Democrática Popular de Corea [Corea Del Norte]. La RDP de Corea o Corea del Norte transmitió la apertura de la Copa Mundial 2010 sin pagar los derechos como respuesta a la decisión de la República de Corea [Corea del Sur] al país.
La cadena de SBS [Seoul Broadcasting System] acuso a la RDP de Corea de la transmisión ilegal y lo llevo antes de la ABU. ABU dicto sentencia con el anuncio que ABU y la FIFA transmitirá para Laos, RDP Corea, y Timor Oriental los partidos de la Copa Mundial FIFA 2010.
The Asian Broadcasting Union has ruled in favour of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea [also known as North Korea] concerning its transmission of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
The SBS or Seoul Broadcasting Corporation of the Republic of Korea [also known as South Korea] accused the DPRK of illegal transmission of the 2010 FIFA World Cup after the opening ceremonies aired on DPRK TV.
The ABU in its ruling stated that they have an agreement with FIFA for free broadcasts of the 2010 FIFA World Cup to countries such as Laos, DPRK, and East Timor.

I am writing this article as a believer that sports and politics must remain separated. It appears that the deteriorating relations between the two Koreas have affected football [soccer] matches. On the 1st of April 2009, North Korea lost one of the most important games to South Korea for the 2010 FIFA World Cup Classification.
North Korea’s Football [Soccer] Association launched a complaint against South Korea accusing it of poisoning its players. The South Korean Football [Soccer] Association called the Korea Football Association [KFA] has denied the claims. Their response was that their physician evaluated the North Korean Players and found no evidence of food poisoning.
North Korea has asked to have the games between the two Koreas played in neutral areas. FIFA has said no to the North Korean request. The only exception was when a game had to be played in a neutral area. The reason was that North Korea prohibits the national anthem and flag of South Korea in its territory.
Every country has its rules and regulations but sports should be separated from politics in the same way that the state and church. While many talk about sports with politics, sports is a way of escaping the daily routines of life.
Many people who watch a football [soccer] game or enjoy baseball as well as other sports just want to have fun. It is nothing more and nothing less. The people and the nations should leave their personal problems at the doorstep when concentrating in sports. I have said this many times in life and will continue to say this.

I first heard of Park Ji-Sung while hearing the Manchester United Matches on the Sports Channel of BBC Radio Manchester which was once BBC GMR. Park Ji-Sung was also part of a series of verification cards sent by KBS [Korean Broadcasting System] World to all of its shortwave listeners. It is an honour to have one of the QSL Cards of Park Ji-Sung as one of my personal possessions.
The life of Park Ji-Sung is also one of great admiration since he was rejected by professional clubs while he was a teenager. The reason was that he was of small stature. While Park Ji-Sung suffered from this discrimination, he continued to play football or soccer. His efforts paid off when he played for Myong University.
Park Ji-Sung spent a year in Myong University and signed a contract with Kyoto Purple Sanga in the year 2000. His career with Kyoto Purple Sanga lasted three years and scored eleven goals within seventy six appearances. He was instrumental in leading Kyoto Purple Sanga into the Emperor’s Cup Finals by scoring an equalizer using his head. He was also instrumental in assisting Teruaki Kurobe in scoring a winning goal in these Finals.
The awards received during his period with the Kyoto Purple Sange included the Japanese League Division 2 in 2001 and the Emperor’s Cup in the Year 2002.
Park Ji-Sung deserves admiration for having signed with a Japanese Football or Soccer Club taking into account the animosity between Korea and Japan. It must be remembered that Japan once ruled Korea from 1910 to 1945, almost destroyed their culture, and forced many people from Korea to live in Japan as second class citizens. In fact, there are some Koreans in Japan who have felt that they are second class citizens.
In the year 2003, Park Ji-Sung signed with PSV Eindhoven. During his period with PSV, he scored thirteen goals within sixty four appearances. His golden age with PSV ocurred when he scored the first goal of PSV against AC Milan when both teams were playing the Championship League Semi Final. PSV Fans wrote a song about Park and it was included in the PSV Official Album titled “PSV Kampioen”.
Park Ji-Sung won the Eredivisie for the 2004-2005 season and the KNVB Cup for the year 2005 before moving to Manchester United in the year 2006.
His career with Manchester United was a historic milestone for him and the Republic of Korea. He became the First Korean and Asian to be the Captain of Manchester United. Park Ji-Sung also became the first Korean and Asian to win the Premier League for Manchester United. The awards of Park Ji-Sung during his period with Manchester United also included the Football League Cup, UEFA Championship League, and the FIFA Club World Cup.
The achievements of Park Ji-Sung was also present in the Republic of Korea since he won third place in the Asian Cup 2000 and the FIFA World Cup 2002. His scores in the 2010 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers against Portugal, Kuwait, Turkmenistan, and the United Arab Emirates earned him the respect and admiration of his home country.
It also left the underwriter wandering about the people who did not want him in their teams for being of a short stature. It could be imagined that they are grinding their teeth.
Park Ji-Sung will always be remembered in the history of football or soccer in the Republic of Korea and the World.
I am listening to the Beijing Olympics of 2008 via CRI [China Radio International] English on the internet and on the shortwave radio. I am also making visits to the CRI English Website to check on my initial predictions of The People’s Republic of China, the United States of America, and the Republic of Korea [otherwise known as South Korea] winning the most medals. It appears that at the present time on the 13th of August 2008 at 2120 hours: China has seventeen gold medals, five silver medals, and five bronze medals which equal twenty seven medals won. The United States of America has won ten gold medals, eight silver medals, and eleven bronze medals which would be a total of twenty nine medals. The Republic of Korea [South Korea] has six gold medals, six silver medals, and one bronze medal which equal thirteen.
The People’s Republic of China has made an impressive showing with its Women’s Gymnastics Team Winning their Olympic Gold. This was the first Olympic Gold won by the Chinese Women’s Gymnastic Team. Chang Yongxiang won the First Olympic Silver Medal in Wrestling while Liao Hui won the Gold Medal in the Olympics Male 69 kg. Weightlifting Competition by 348 kg which was ten points more than the French Weightlifter Vencelas Dabaya-Tientcheu. Wang Feng and Qin Kai won the Gold Medal in the Men’s 3m synchronized springboard. One of the famous boxers in China whose name is Zou Shiming has made some advances in his struggle for a gold medal by defeating his opponent from Venezuela Eduard Bermudez Salas by using fast movements, quick moves, and accurate punches that would have made Muhammad Ali very proud.
The United States of America is another country that cannot be underestimated. Even though Amy Tryon was instrumental in disgracing the United States Equestrian Olympic Team with her disqualification, there are people and teams that have won the most medals or at least the publicity. Who cannot forget the USA defeating Angola in Men’s Basketball 97-76? One of the most impressive feats in Olympic History has been the victory of Michael Phelps in Swimming. The Water Cube [where the events have been taking place] has been a place of good luck for Michael Phelps. Michael Phelps is the twenty first century of King Midas. King Midas in ancient Greek Mythology was supposedly the king whose touch turned everything into gold. It appears that Michael Phelps is the United States Swimming Equivalent because every event he has participated in has turned into a Gold Medal. Michael Phelps currently has five gold medals and maybe named the Olympian. Many people in Miami Florida are cheering the victory of Michael Phelps as a way of restoring happiness to a place and country that sorely needs it.
The Republic of Korea [also known as South Korea] has been behind the People’s Republic of China and the United States of America in acquiring the most medals. CRI English and KBS World [KBS are the initials for the Korean Broadcasting Service. KBS is one of the biggest broadcasters in the Republic of Korea or South Korea]. For the first time since the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, Spain [when Chun Byung-Kwan won the gold medal]; Sa Jae-hyouk ends the drought of gold medals with his victory in the weightlifting competition after lifting three hundred and sixty six kilograms.
As the Beijing Olympics progress, I will predict that the most medals will won by the People’s Republic of China, the United States of America, and the Republic of Korea based on the fortitude, organization, and consistency of the teams and sport participants that are from these three countries. While I want to wish all of the countries the best in the Beijing Olympics, I want to expand my best wishes to the People’s Republic of China, the United States of America, and the Republic of Korea.

LAS DOS COREAS, JAPON Y BUSH
A pesar de que Bush esta cambiando su opinion acerca de Corea del Norte, Politicos Japoneses visitaron a Bush, los Republicanos, y los Democratas para exigir que Corea del Norte sea mantenida en la lista de paises avocado el terrorismo.
Japon esta en su derecho en exigir a los EEUU mas restricciones hacia Corea del Norte. Acuerdate que Corea del Norte mantiene algunos japoneses secuestrado por ellos como prisioneros para utilizar en la proxima ficha diplomatica [si todavia siguen con vida].
Acuerdate que Corea del Norte es una amenaza para Japon pues explotaron misiles que volaron por encima de territorio japones hasta llegar hacia la islas fuera de la costa de Alaska a principios de 2000 y 2001.
Hay que tener mano dura con Corea del Norte pues el dialogo nunca funciono con esta gente.

THE TWO KOREAS, JAPAN, & BUSH
Even though Bush is changing his mind and removing North Korea from the list of nations sponsoring terrorists, Japanese Politicians have asked Bush to continue classifying North Korea as a terrorist state secondary to the kidnapping of Japanese Nationals, the explosions of missiles over Japanese Territory and its subsequent arrival in the islands off the coast of Alaska which belong to the USA.
