Japanese Fans Paid to Greet Jang Geun-suk

South Korean actor Jang Geun-suk visited Japan this week. Media reports about his visit emphasized the fact that about 800 fans gathered to greet him on his arrival at Haneda Airport. Even Jang was surprised by the overwhelming evidence of his popularity in Japan:

“I was honestly worried that there might be an accident within the crowd because there were so many people there to greet me,” he said, expressing concern for the fans present.

[...]

“Honestly, it’s pretty scary. It just happened so fast; I gained a lot of fans in such a short amount of time,” he said about his new popularity in Japan.

800 fans at the airport is pretty impressive when you compare it to the greetings that other international stars have received. When Lady Gaga arrived at Narita Airport a couple weeks ago, about 200 fans were there to greet her. Johnny Depp, who is enormously popular in Japan, was greeted by a mere 400 fans when he visited Japan earlier this year.
The secret of the Jang’s huge fan gathering was revealed when a photograph of a flier found its way onto the internet

It is recruiting women to participate in the greeting event at Haneda Airport. A reward of 2,000 yen (about $25) was offered to each “fan” who attended the event.

According to an article on Livedoor, there were some diehard fans who showed up out of genuine excitement. Many others, however, were paid. Some people found out about it through the fliers, while others were veteran members of event mailing lists. People who replied to the 2,000 yen job offer were driven to the airport on two special buses. While on the buses, the phony fans were given Jang Geun-suk merchandise to wave around when the media filmed them.

One participant said the buses carried about 80 paid fans to the airport. Combined with the legitimate fans, there probably weren’t much more than 100 people gathered for the event. One of the event promoters walked around declaring that 800 fans had come to greet Jang, and the media didn’t bother to verify the claim.

I want to study law and I'm doing a'level. Today is the release of AS result and i have failed english literature while I got A for law and B for business.

English Literature - A'Level

Kenki — Sun, 07 Nov 2010 13:19:35 +0800

Does anyhere here studied english literature for A'level?

I've read up and tried to understand all the poems. I even memorize the storyline of the stories such as Jane Eyre and Twelfth Night. In exam, I only got D- C grade. How can I get a better grade? Well, I know English Literature isn't like any other subject just like Business which you have to read a lot, do a lot of questions and know some business issue because english lit doesn't have exact answer or question. But can you tell me is there anything that I can do to maximize my chance on getting a better grade?

Thank you very much.

Advice for a college student

Kenki — Sat, 02 Oct 2010 01:41:08 +0800

Hello, everyone!
I'm A'level student who is studying law this year. I've tried my best in the exam and I only managed to get 35 out of 75 in the Mock exam. The cleverest guy in my class only got 51 out of 75. I wish to get grade A or B in AS but it seems like not easy.

Is there any tips or guides on law paper 1 and paper 2 so I can get a better grade?

Besides that, what is the minimum requirement to apply for the ptptn loan? Let's say if I get a D for my law paper and I want to retake in case I'm not qualified to apply for ptptn loan. How much do I have to pay for the retake fee?

Please kindly to give advices because I need to get pass or have a very good plan on $$$. I don't want to burden my mother due to my failure.
