South Korean pop star Harisu married her long-time beau and rapper, Micky Chung this weekend.
The two have been together for years, but had a falling out last year. Following their breakup, the vivacious Harisu appeared on a reality show to find a new man. Seeing his beloved trolling the tube for a man inspired Chung to woo her back and propose.
Speaking to the press prior to the wedding - which Harisu's sex change surgeon officiated - Harisu vowed, "I'll become a housewife who is cooking well, sexy and caring." She also informs us that she and Chung planned on having ten children, but their families objected, so they've settled on four. And apparently family's very important to the couple: their parents are joining them on their honeymoon in Thailand.
We've included the video for Harisu's single, "Foxy Lady", after the jump.
CONTINUED »Woof, talk about a scary statistic! Grand National Party Representative Moon Hee told his legislative peers that out of the 4,227 (known) HIV positive Koreans, 3,842 are men. For those of you not mathematically inclined (don't worry, we're not, either), that means that 90% of HIV positive Koreans are men. (Note: Given that our source, The Korea Times, is based in Seoul, we're assuming this is South Korea we're talking here.)
Moon goes on to deride the government for its lax policy on testing men. She says:
"Despite an alarmingly large number of male HIV-infected patients, the government has been less keen on promoting specific measures to prevent men from contracting the disease..."
Many of those men work in the "massage/entertaiment industry" (hooking?), the same industry that requires HIV testing for women.
Oh, if you're interested in the "gay/straight" breakdown, here it is: out of the 3,842 men infected with HIV, 1,377 contracted it via M4M, while 1,801 got it from lady-lovin'.
