World class pop stars and producers are singing for World Peace of Korea.
It is Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.
When I heard this news, I can’t understand ‘Why do world stars make songs for Korea?’ It is amazing. Why?
It is a one of ‘One K Global Project’.
Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis will create songs that include meaning that ‘A unified Korea will contribute to world peace‘. They say “This song is not just for Korean, for all of us that protect human rights and peace”.
When did he say that? Where?
In 2016 August International Young Leaders Assembly(IYLA) was held at U.N. headquarters. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis said here. Wow.
Are you curious? Who are Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis?
They are producer of the global pop stars including Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Boyz II Men, Usher. Also they won ‘Grammy Awards‘ six times.
Do you know Peabo Bryson? He is a U.S. pop singer to sing the theme song of ‘BeautyandtheBeast‘.
What’s moresurprising is that Metropolis Studio is in charge of marketing and global distribution.
Starting with the concert in Philippines on March, ‘One Concert K‘ will be held for unification of Korea in 10 foreign countries including the United States, China and Japan.
DomesticandForeign 737 civic groups took part in ‘One K Global Project’.
It is amazing. 🙂 I hope they will success to achieve World Peace.
“The death of a child refugee. Then after a year, Not remain in our minds”
It is first anniversary of a child refugee’s Death. Do you remember ‘Alan Kurdi’?
He is a child refugee. Last year he became enormously famous. Because he appeared dead on the beach. While trying to go to Europe to avoid civil war, his mother(35) and his brother(5) were drowned. Then all the world wanted to help the refugees.
His father said “Then after a year, that movement is all gone.”
What did you feel?
What did you do?
How is your plan going now?
He pointed out that “People are still dying in the Mediterranean, and dangerous boats with illegal refugees continue.”
He appealed “I hope the world leaders to stop a Syria civil war as soon as possible.”
The Mediterranean is the fuss now. Thousands of people were overthrown, and Thousands of people were rescued. But all do not get involved this problem.
Now there has been a lot of talk about the Colombian civil war.
Whatwenowhave,is the Syria civil war
I want to end war. 🙂 Refugee is our friend.
His father said “I don’t know what I’m doing and I don’t know why I’m still alive”
No one ever expected that so many people came together. Everyone think “citizens are tired in candlelight rally that lasted for a long time.” This is the sixth Candlelight vigils. But huge crowds pourinto nationwide. Candlelight vigils is being held in 70 places of the country. 200,000 in Busan. 100,000 in Gwanju. 50,000 in Daejeon.
1,700,000 people in Seoul. Nationwide total is 2,320,000 people.
PEACE CULTURE
Even though so many people came together, Non-violent culture is still. Any one is not taken to the police. They march in 100 m front of Cheong Wa Dae. It is the shortest distance until now. This peaceful protest is unprecedented in world history.
Many amazing things happened. When one citizen suddenly collapsed, police officers hand over hot packs. Wow.
Second, one citizen threw flowers for peace performance.Then, people say “Don’t hit by flowers” I was impressed.
And there were citizens to putflower stickerson police car.
Also foreign interests is hot. They expressed surprise in particular about orderly and peaceful assembly culture.
Nobel peace prize : Colombia peace agreement “It is passed. Now remaining task is ‘implementation’
Do you remember ‘2016 Nobel peace prize’? Santos president win the Nobel peace prize. Why? The Nobel committee support ‘Colombia peace agreement’. I introduce the reason why It is rejected. They failed to consider the victims’ anger. The problem is that they are too generous to FARC(Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia).
I expect They all discussed everything and ironed out the details. So They All will agree.
But How about now?
Santos government only passed Colombia peace agreement by parliamentary vote instead of The referendum. The agreement was carried by a unanimous vote. The opponents are not appearing to protest. They say “Colombia people refuse it. How can the Congress approve it?”(according to AFP)
Such reasons, Some pointed out that there are limitations to this agreement.
Now ‘implementation’ is important. Successorfailure dependson how much disarming FARC are protected. There are many such an opinion.
I think They more needconversations for their anger than protection of their enemy. Citizens will be further anger if they do things in this way. They should not think that people are a fool. Whowinheartsandminds will achieve peace.
Culture sure will lead world to peace. Let’s give peace to our mind. I think It is better to make new culture for Colombia. I get this idea from HWPL(Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light). Isn’t this word itself amazing? From what I know Asian culture, American culture and popular culture is all.
Candlelight Vigil in Korea : “A country belongs to the people”
Now in Korea candlelight protests were steadily being held. We can see many people. There were mothers dragging a stroller, families coming hand in hand, middle and high school students and Elder people who come with friends. It is strange enough to not come. You can tell how much hot the atmosphere is, is it right?
How many are there?
1,000,000 in Gwanghwamun Gate.
Really a large number of people gathered. But I don’t know well about politics. I want to emphasize the meaning in that many people gathered.
Mature Sense of Citizenship
But Candlelight Vigil is peaceful. Violent demonstration can occur but mature sense of citizenship stop it. There are citizens who pick up some trash and who cry out to protect police line.
High Level of Rally Culture
Before the violence, they satirizes society. The whole town is in festive mood. Many musicians came out and performed together. Celebrities are making comments as well. Every kind of parody also are constantly made. Now new culture is being made. I’m looking forward to the future. 🙂
Sovereignty rests with the People of the Republic of Korea.
All Power comes from the People.

Carter? Didn’t you hear a lot? Yes. It is ‘Jimmy Carter’.
Jimmy Carter
He is famous in Korea because he negotiated with North Korea to stop war. He is the first man who visited to North Korea.
After his retirement, Jimmy Carter’s movements is assessed at the greatest among former presidents.
At the center of that movements, there was ‘Carter Center’.
Carter Center
‘Carter Center’ did a significant contribution to the human rights as well as rearranging of international disputes. It made him win the Nobel Peace Prize 2002.
In the early years of the Carter Foundation, Carter established some important management principles as follows.
The Center emphasizes action and measurable results. Based on careful research and analysis, it is prepared to take timely action on important and pressing issues.
The Center seeks to break new ground and not duplicate the effective efforts of others.
The Center addresses difficult problems in difficult situations and recognizes the possibility of failure as an acceptable risk.
The Center is nonpartisan, actively seeks complementary partnerships and works collaboratively with other organizations from the highest levels of government to local communities.
The Center believes that people can improve their own lives when provided with the necessary skills, knowledge, and access to resources.
This video is in Carter Center homepage. I’minthemoodtocry.
I am laughing in here but still many people are unhappy. Carter, expand human rights diplomacy. He thought ‘human is important’.
Just how important the leader is!!!
His thoughts and values is really really important.
Korea is messed up. I’m sad when I think my homeland.
“It is good to realize that if love and peace can prevail on earth, and if we can teach our children to honor nature’s gifts, the joys and beauties of the outdoors will be here forever. – Jimmy Carter”
He is an American musician, singer-songwriter, record producer, activist, actor, and humanitarian. He had attributed to the popularization of country pop and folk music in the 1970s, and also assessed that he lead the environmental movement.
“Country roads take me home~~~ To the place I belong~~~” That lyrics still stuck in my head.
But That song is not one that I’d like to introduce.
What does ‘PEACE’ mean to you? It is really important.
This song maybe get you the answer.
John Denver ‘The Peace Poem Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream’
There’s a name for war and killing
there’s a name for giving in
when you know another answer
for me the name is sin
but there’s still time to turn around
and make all hatred cease
and give another name to living
and we could call it peace
And peace would be the road we walk
each step along the way
and peace would be the way we work
and peace the way we play
And in all we see that’s different
and in all the things we know
peace would be the way we look
and peace the way we grow
There’s a name for separation
there’s a name for first and last
when it’s all for us or nothing
for me the name is past
but there’s still time to turn around
and make all hatred cease
and give a name to all the future
and we could call it peace
And if peace is what we pray for
and peace is what we give
then peace will be the way we are
and peace the way we live
Yes there still is the time to turn around
and make all hatred cease
and give another name to living
and we can call it peace
It could be too abstract. Someone say it is too idealistic.
This is an imagination. But How would you see this in real life?
And if you could really good, right? Everyone must say ‘I wish I could do that’.
HWPL is really achieving it. They do now ‘Legislate Peace Campaign‘. Already International law is declared in 2016-3-14. Now tabling it to the United Nations remained.
It is Big Picture. This Card Section show all from start to finish. Imagine.
