Entertainment Shows
in Korea
By Hyewon Hong
In Korea, there are numerous rising
Entertainment shows that are in the center of
interest and popularity, especially between
teenagers.
Auditioning programs such as Superstar K,
Voice Korea and K-pop Star are the all-time
favorites of all ages and genders, even
extending their popularity to other Asian
countries.
Tourism: Laos
By Grace Hwang
Isn’t this place just wonderful? This is the
marvelous Kouangxi Water Fall from Luang
Prabang, Laos.
Although people have different opinions, I
believe that Laos is one of the top 3 places
people should go for a vacation (in Asia). The
reasons why you should visit this fabulous
place are the following:
Variety shows, such as One Night Two Days,
Infinite Challenge and Running Man, are also
very famous because of its humor and filled
context. Many celebrities of Korea appear in
these shows as guests and share their personal
interests, personality, make themselves more
familiar to people and gain more popularity.

The food market:
Like many people know, Asian food is
delicious! Especially when it comes to
visiting the food markets. The traditional
Lao cuisine is the following: Khao Piak
Sen (a Lao noodle soup), Khao Jee,
(baguettes), Laab Moo (pork salad), Tam
Mak Hoong (Papaya salad), and Yall Dib
(Spring rolls).
The caves and waterfalls!
A new rising show named Masked Singer is a
program where celebrities and singers appear on
the stage with a mask, without showing their
identity, and competing to win the show, only
with their skills and voice.
In this season of Choo-Suck, a.k.a. Korean
Thanksgiving day, new entertainment shows
have been introduced, such as Idol Sports
Competition, in which young singers and band
groups compete in track and field, basketball,
futsal, archery and swimming.

And lastly, the Mekong River sunsets.
