BYJ, to deliver message at the UN Climate Meeting
[JES]11/20/09
BYJ will appeal the seriousness of climatic change to human race all over the world at UN using with his voice.
BYJ participated in a narration work in a public service video for 'Seal the Deal' Campaign, led by Bahn Kimoon, UN Secretary General. The 'Seal the Deal' is a global petition movement the UNEP (UN Environmental Plan) promotes. They are getting signatures from general citizens in the whole world to urge necessity of Climatic Agreement through its Seal the Deal homepage (www.sealthedeal2009.org).
The Seal the Deal public service video, where BYJ participated in, will be introduced while entire world is watching at the 15th general convention of the concerned countries for UN Climatic Change Agreement, held in Copenhagen, Denmark from coming December 7 to 18. After that, it will be followed by movements in each country to urge Climatic Change Agreement, and it is planned to be used in a movement for Environmental Protection of the Earth in association with portal sites in Korea.
BYJ, having been interested in the environmental protection in ordinary times, delightfully accepted the proposal to participate in public service video from UN. He finished the narration work on 11 in recovering status after he suffered from the sepsis. In a 4 minutes 35 second long video, he appealed with powerful voice the necessity of Climatic Agreement. The format is to narrate in Korean with subtitling in English.
UN Climatic Change Agreement in this time is in preparation for the Climatic Agreement which will go into effect from 2012. The main point is making decision on responsibilities and standards for developed countries and developing countries to undertake, respectively, to reduce amount of green-house gas emission. Naturally, it will become a focus by press in entire world, and BYJ's voice will be introduced to the world.
On the other hand, BYJ also shot a CF to promote 'Visit Korea Years' recently. As the Promotional Ambassador for 2010~2012 'Visit Korea Years', he participated in the filming to inform sentiment of Korea going around places in Cholla Province. This promotional video is planned to be introduced to overseas tourists including Japan, etc, in short while.

Serenity fills the space, without a note of desolation. Only the draft passing through the lattice windows disturbs the silence. Warmth seeps in through the heated ondol floor and the cozy scent of burning firewood, comforting the tired limbs. Perhaps this is how it felt to be a noble scholar back in the days.
Chirping birds announce day break. After watching the sun rise in the backyard one is greeted with a homemade meal.
Hahoe Village, located in Hahoe, Pungcheong-myeon, North Gyeongsang Province,is designated Main Folk Asset No. 122. The Nakdong River flows through in an ``s'' curve, giving the village its name. The village's traditional Korean charms ― ``yangban'' or nobleman houses and Buddhist temples ― attract many domestic and foreign tourists every year. A few years ago,
Britain's Queen Elizabeth II celebrated her 73rd birthday here with a big traditional meal.
Spending a night at a ``hanok'' (classical Korean house) is one of the best ways to experience the local tradition. The hanok is neither fancy nor grand in scale; its beauty lies in simplicity, elegance and how it becomes one with nature.
Many houses in the village offer homestays, and among them is the 423 year-old Okyeonjeongsa. Designated Main Folk Asset No. 88, it belonged to 16th-century Joseon (1392-1910) civil minister-scholar Ryu Seong-ryong, also known under the pen name Seo Ae. Okyeonjeongsa was built over 10 years from 1576 and 1586, and Ryu began living here in 1605 when his main residence in Haehoe Village was destroyed in a flood. It is here where he penned ``Jingbirok'' (National Treasure No. 132), a memoir of the Japanese invasion of Korea of 1592.
Okyeonjeongsa is located in western Buyongdae, across from Hahoe Village. It got its name from the environs, where the waters are pure azure. Okyeonjeongsa is different from conventional aristocratic residences, which are comprised of large family quarters and ancestral shrine. It is an independent edifice that embodies Ryu's scholarly ventures. It is comprised of two main spaces, and currently Kim Sang-cheol and his wife Jeong-heui oversee the place.
Three quarters of Okyeonjeongsa are used for the homestay program, including Sesimjae, which was used as Ryu's library. The Seodangchae is where Ryu composed ``Jingbirok''
Jingbirok is the records of 7 years between 1592(25th year of Seonjo)
and 1598 and represents Master Seo Ae.This book precisely records the
relationships with Japan before the invasion, resisting activities
of common people, helps from china, and warships to take over the sea.
He recorded and wrote this in regrets and wishes that these war
and hardships should not be happen again.
and where the film ``Untold Scandal'' starring Bae Yong-joon was shot.
The homestay program is available all year round, except for one day in November designated for making kimchi. A visitor's log, filled with comments and messages, provides some interesting anecdotes. Okyeonjeongsa is dubbed ``the eye of Hahoe Village, and thus also provides a great view of the town.
``I'm touring Korea for 10 days and I feel lucky to spend a day here. It's really beautiful and I particularly like the ondol floor,''said Patricia Bethel, a Canadian tourist.
Most visitors make a two-day, one-night stay. Reservations can be made online. It is recommended that bookings are made 90 days in advance. For more information visit www.hahoehouse.co.kr.
