Burnt body found in carbbj | Friday, 27 August 2010 A 54-year-old Gimje man was on his morning walk when he made a gruesome discovery: a body, burnt beyond recognition, sitting in a Sonata. The car belonged to a Mr. Lee (29), who was just about to enter divorce proceedings with his wife. Police say foul play is not suspected. Why some people choose to die in maximum-possible physical agony is a very sad mystery. Courtesy, Jeonbuk Ilbo. |
Jeonju pastor arrested for illegally visiting NKdvm | Monday, 23 August 2010 |
Near the spring in GeumMaMeon, Iksan, some bombs were discovered. The military responded to a call and came out with a team of minesweepers. They discovered a cache of 9 mortar shells (60mm x 30cm) buried since the war. Even though they are likely too decomposed to detonate, the military has canvassed the area giving fliers with warnings and instructions to local residents. The metal detectors only have a range of 30cm deep. Call before you dig! Courtesy 
Mike is in a Gwangju hospital right now with a very low white blood cell count and needs blood transfusions. His blood type is Rh-B or (B-Neg). It's rare, and he needs donors. He founded the bar Speakeasy in Gwangju in 2006. 
Pastor Han Sang-Ryol, of Jeonju walked across the border to the North about 70 days ago, where he delivered sermons. In them, he allegedly denounced President Lee MyungBak as an 'anti-unification traitor.' [Well, Lee's not exactly extending the olive branch, is he? -Ed.] Pastor Han was arrested Friday trying to get back into the ROK. Police raided his house Saturday. An arrest warrant was requested Sunday. [??] He is facing charges of violating the National Security Law, which heavily restricts contact with North Koreans and activities seen as supporting Pyongyang. Read more at

Looking for a fightDoes anyone know of a MMA, boxing, or Muay Thai gym in Jeonju. I was a tournament fighter in the U.S. and since coming here I've been looking for places to train, but also offer MMA and Muay Thai/Boxing classes. If anyone has any information, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Anton Bates. |
