온라인 쇼핑

온라인 쇼핑(Online Shopping) 또는 인터넷 쇼핑(Internet Shopping)은 소비자가 웹 브라우저를 사용하여 인터넷을 통해 판매자로부터 상품이나 서비스를 직접 구매할 수 있게 하는 전자 상거래의 한 형태이다. 때론 제품을 단순 구매하는 것 외에 경매도 가능하다.
최초의 월드 와이드 웹 서버와 브라우저는 1990년에 팀 버너스 리가 만들었으며 1991년에 상업적인 이용을 위해 개시되었다. 그 뒤로 1994년에 기술적 혁명이 뒷따랐다: 온라인 뱅킹, 피자헛의 온라인 피자 가게 개장, 안전한 데이터 전송을 위한 넷스케이프의 SSL v2 암호화 표준, 인터숍의 최초의 온라인 쇼핑 시스템. 그 즉시 아마존 닷컴이 1995년에 온라인 쇼핑 사이트를 시작하였으며 이베이도 1995년에 선보였다.
전자 소매업자(e-tailers)는 온라인 소매상을 일컫는 말이다. 전자 소매 업자는 편리성과 1년 365일 낮은 비용의 쇼핑을 제공한다. 최근 인터넷과 정보통신의 발달로 이러한 전자 소매업자가 늘어나고 있다.
쇼핑센터

쇼핑 센터(영어: shopping center, 영국 영어: shopping centre) 또는 쇼핑 몰(미국 영어: shopping mall)은 여러 가지 물건을 종합적으로 파는 장소이다. 미국에서는 "몰(mall)"로 줄여도 부른다. 종종 백화점이나 편의점, 면세점 등도 쇼핑 센터에 포함된다고 할 수 있다.
교통이 편리한 지점에 쇼핑을 하기에 편리하도록 일용품 기타 상품을 파는 큰 시장이 출현했는데, 이를 쇼핑 센터라고 한다. 이는 주택이 도심을 벗어난 교외에 많아졌기 때문에 주민들의 편의를 도모하기 위한 필요에 의해 생겨난 것이다. 미국에서는 넓은 주차장에 드라이브인에서 차를 탄 채 들어가는 곳도 있다.
옥토퍼스 카드

옥토퍼스 카드(Octopus card, 중국어 간체자: 八达通, 정체자: 八達通)는 홍콩특별행정구의 공공 교통기관 등에 있어 사용할 수 있는 IC칩을 탑재한 비접촉형 선불카드 및 카드형 이외의 제품의 총칭이다. 1997년 9월에 정식 도입된 공공교통기관 선불카드이다.
교통 기관뿐만 아니라, 편의점, 슈퍼마켓, 패스트푸드점, 거리 주차 미터, 주차나 다른 주요소, 자판기 등에서도 사용할 수 있는 다기능 카드이다. 비접촉식 스마트 카드 결제 시스템은 2006년 세계 IT 우수상을 수상하여 혁신적인 기술을 뽐내고 있다.
옥토퍼스 카드는 종합 교통 카드로 현금이 필요없는 편리한 스마트 카드이다. 지하철이나 철도에서는 옥토퍼스 카드를 사용하면 10% 정도의 요금이 할인된다. 또 환승 등 특정의 조건을 충족하면 운임이 할인이 되는 경우도 있다. 홍콩은 철도 관련 정기승차권이 존재하지 않았기 때문에 이 카드의 보급 속도가 빨랐다.
옥토퍼스 카드는 지하철(MTR), 버스, 녹색 또는 일부의 적색 미니버스, 홍콩 트램(전철), 경전철, 스타 페리 등의 페리 노선, 케이블카(피크 트램) 등 택시를 제외한 많은 주요 교통기관에서 사용할 수 있다. 또 교통기관 외에 전자화폐로서 편의점(편리점), 커피숍, 레스토랑, 자동판매기, 증명사진 촬영기, 공중전화 등의 여러 가지 시설에서 이용할 수 있다.
카드의 발행은 홍콩의 옥토퍼스 카드 유한공사(Octopus Cards Limited, 八達通卡有限公司)가 담당하고 있다. 현재까지 홍콩 시내의 인구를 초과한 1,200만매 정도가 발행되었다.
홍콩의 버스나 트램에 갖춰져 있는 요금박스에는 원칙으로서 거스름돈의 기능은 없으며, 다만 적색의 미니 버스에서는, 소액지폐는 운전기사가 직접 거스름돈을 전해 준다. 버스 요금은 거리에 따라 요금이 정해지는 변동제 요금을 적용한 노선이 많고, 같은 구간을 지나는 버스라도 노선에 따라 요금이 다른 경우가 많다. 또 차종이나 냉방의 유무에 따라서 운임이 달라진다.
홍콩에서는 2층 버스로 대표되는 대기업이 운영하는 버스회사 노선과 마이크로 버스 차량을 사용한 미니버스 노선이 무수히 존재한다. 미니버스에는 구간 승강이 자유로운 녹색 미니버스와 종점만 정해두고 운전자가 자유롭게 노선을 결정하는 적색 미니버스가 있다.
표준 옥트퍼스 카드에는 성인(Adult), 아동(Child), 노인(Elder), 학생(student) 카드와 개인정보가 들어간 개별 카드(Personalized)가 있고, 모두 뫼비우스의 띠 디자인을 적용한 공통무늬로 카드 종류마다 색상이 다르다. 유효기간은 최종 증액으로부터 3년간이며, 개별 카드에는 소유자의 이름, 사진(선택)이 인쇄되어 기록되고 있다. 연령에 따라 어른, 아이, 노인으로 구별되어 또 학생증으로 사용할 수 있다. 카드 구입 시에는 50 홍콩 달러가 포함되어 있으며, 반환 시에 미사용액과 함께 반환된다. 개별 카드의 경우는 별도의 20 홍콩 달러가 수수료로 구입액에 포함된다. 반환 시에는 수수료가 필요한 경우가 있다. 판매는 홍콩 내의 지하철과 각 철도 역의 유인 매표소나 안내소, 페리 승강장, 편의점 등에서 구입할 수 있다.
또 관광 천국으로 명성에 걸맞게 여행자 전용으로 〈에어포트 익스프레스 여행자 옥토퍼스〉 (Airport Express Tourist Octopus)가 있다. 이것은 홍콩 국제공항의 공항 역과 각지를 연결하는 에어포트 익스프레스(지창콰이 선)에 1회 승차할 수 있는 220 홍콩 달러의 카드, 및 2회 승차할 수 있는 300 홍콩 달러의 카드가 있다. 이 카드로는 3일간 MTR에 무료로 승차할 수 있는 특전이 있다. 예치금액은 각각 50 홍콩 달러로 반환 시 되돌려 받을 수 있다. 유효기간은 구입 일로부터 180일간으로 체류 기간이 14일 이내의 여행자만 이용할 수 있다. 공항 역에는 개찰이 없고, 개찰이 있는 역에서 승하차 할 때의 정산이 된다.
기본적으로 대한민국에서 교통카드 기능이 내장된 카드를 사용하는 방법과 동일하다. 옥토퍼스 카드에는 IC팁이 탑재되고 있어 철도의 자동 개찰기에 설치된 센서에 카드를 읽게하면 된다. 센서에 의한 독해는 가죽 가방이나 핸드백 등이 두꺼운 간섭물이 있어도 가능하다. 개찰 시에는 입장 기록이 기록되어 나갈 때 운임 전액이 공제된다.
버스는 승차 시에, 트램은 하차 시에 운임 전액이 공제된다. 전자화폐로 사용할 때도 구입한 상품 또는 서비스 금액만큼 공제된다. 사용 중에 충전 금액이 부족한 경우는 예치금에 상관없이 잔액이 -$35 HK를 밑돌지 않는 경우면 공제할 수 있다. 잔액이 0또는 마이너스가 되었을 경우는 충전 때까지는 이용할 수 없게 된다.
충전은 홍콩 내 지하철과 각 철도 역의 승차권 매표소에 설치되어 있는 〈충전기〉(Add Value Machine)라고 표기된 옥토퍼스 카드 전용기, 또는 유인 매표소, 안내소, 시중의 편의점 등에서 충전할 수 있다. 충전기에는 현금(대체로 $50 HK나 $100 HK 지폐만 투입 가능하다) 및 현금카드를 사용할 수 있다. 또 홍콩에서 발행한 신용 카드와 연결하여 등록하면 자동으로 요금충전이 가능하고, 옥토퍼스 카드의 잔고가 제로 또는 마이너스가 된 상태로 이용하면 $250 HK(일부 신용카드 회사에서는 $500도 선택 가능)까지 자동으로 충전된다. 대부분의 신용카드 회사에서는 자동 요금에 의한 카드 이용에 대해서도 일반 쇼핑 시와 같게 신용카드 포인트를 부여를 하고 있다.
잔고의 확인은 개찰기의 잔고표시란을 확인하거나 승차권 판매장에 설치되어 있는 전용 단말기의 잔고 확인기를 이용할 수 있다. 잔고 확인기에서는 사용 가능 잔고나 이용 이력(최신 1015건 정도) 등이 표시된다. 지원언어는 영어나 중국어로 표시되지만, 그 선택 언어는 카드로 설정되어 있어 그것은 일부의 창구에서 변경 가능하다.
MTR 역이나 구입처에 카드를 반납하면, 보증금과 함께 쓰고 남은 잔액을 돌려준다. 카드 유효기간은 충전일로부터 3년간이므로, 재방문이 계획되어 있거나 예상된다면 굳이 환불받지 않아도 되며, 국내에서 다른 사람에게 양도를 해도 된다.
옥토퍼스 카드는 홍콩뿐만이 아니라 선쩐과 마카오의 일부 서비스에서도 2006년을 기점으로 이용할 수 있게 되었다. 마카오의 켄터키 프라이트 치킨과 선쩐의 페어우드 레스토랑에서 이용이 가능하다.
김씨네 편의점 (시트콤)

《김씨네 편의점》(한국 한자: 金氏네 便宜店, 영어: Kim's Convenience)는 캐나다의 시트콤으로, 인스 최의 연극 《김씨네 편의점》을 원작으로 하고 있다. CBC 텔레비전에서 2016년 10월 11일부터 2021년 4월 13일까지 방영했다.
훼미리마트

훼미리마트(일본어: ファミリーマート 화미리마토, 영어: FamilyMart 패밀리마트)는 일본의 편의점 브랜드이다.
1973년 세이부 철도 계열사인 세이유 그룹의 소규모 점포로 출발했다. 그 후 편의점 체인인 훼미리마트로 개칭되었고, 1981년 주식회사 훼미리마트가 설립되었고, 그 후 도쿄 증권거래소에도 상장되었다. 세이유 그룹의 실적 부진으로 주식회사 훼미리마트는 세이유 그룹에서 분리되어, 이토추 상사가 최대 주주가 되었다. 2010년 3월에 AM/PM 재팬을 흡수합병했다. 2011년 10월 당시, 일본 전역에 8,649개의 점포가 있었다. 2016년 9월 동업계 유니 그룹을 흡수 합병하여, 현재 일본에서 세븐일레븐 다음 가는 업계 2위의 편의점 체인으로 올라섰다.
중국, 태국, 타이완, 베트남, 미국 등에 현지 기업과 합작 형태로 진출해 있다. 해외에서는 대한민국에 가장 점포가 많았으나 2012년 철수하면서 현재는 일본이 가장 점포가 많다.
1990년 1월 보광과 제휴하여 서울특별시 송파구 가락동에 첫 점포를 개설했다. 1994년에 보광에서 분리된 보광훼미리마트에서 운영하였으며, 이후 급성장하여 대한민국 최대의 편의점 체인이 되었다. 2000년대 중반에 이미 국내 편의점 중 유일하게 전국 260여 시, 군, 구 등에 점포를 개설한 바 있다.
조선민주주의인민공화국의 금강산관광지구를 방문하는 대한민국 소비자들을 위해 이 곳들에도 점포를 개설하였으나 조선민주주의인민공화국 당국이 2011년 8월 22일을 기해 대한민국 측이 소유하고 있던 금강산관광지구 관련 자산을 몰수·동결하는 조치를 시행하면서 금강산관광지구 점포의 운영이 중지되었다. 개성공업지구의 경우에는 3개 점포가 운영되었지만 2016년 2월 10일에 대한민국 정부가 개성공업지구 폐쇄 조치를 시행하면서 2016년 2월 11일을 기해 모두 폐점했다.
2012년 5월 말 기준으로 대한민국에 위치한 훼미리마트 운영 점포 수는 7,271개에 달했다. 2012년 6월 보광훼미리마트에서 BGF리테일로 사명을 변경하고 2012년 8월 1일부터 점포명을 CU로 변경하였다. 2014년 3월 한국 시장에서 철수했다.
1988년 진출했으며, 2,500여개의 점포가 있다. 타이완에서는 '취안자'(全家, '취안자볜리상뎬'(全家便利商店)의 약칭)라고 한다.
2004년 법인을 설립하고 2005년 점포를 개설했다. 'Famima!!'(파미마!!) 라는 이름으로 일본식 편의점을 콘셉트로 하여 시험적으로 캘리포니아주 로스앤젤레스 일대에 10여 개의 점포를 개설한 상태다. 하지만 세븐일레븐에 밀려서 점차 쇠퇴해지자 일부 매장이 폐업되면서 극소수의 매장만 운영하였다. 이후 그마저도 폐업을 시작으로 이후 2015년 말까지 철수하겠다고 발표되어 'Famima!!' 브랜드는 역사 속으로 사라졌다.
삼양라면

삼양라면(三養라면)은 대한민국의 식료품 회사인 삼양식품에서 제조 중인 라면이다. 1963년 9월부터 생산·판매 중이다.
1963년 9월 15일에 한국 최초의 라면으로 출시되었으며, 일제강점기와 한국전쟁으로 피폐해진 한국의 식량난 타개를 목적으로 주식인 쌀을 대체하여 쉽고 간단하게 먹을 수 있는 식품을 공급하려는 취지에서 만들어졌다. 이 제품은 삼양식품의 설립자인 전중윤 회장이 일본의 《묘-죠-쇼쿠힌(일본어: 明星食品 명성식품)》에서 라면 기계 2대를 들여와서 생산하기 시작하였다.
닭고기 스프와 제품의 주황색 표지에 중량 100g에 10원의 가격으로 처음 선보였다. 3년간 시행 착오를 거쳐 대한민국의 시장 점유율 1위의 대표 라면으로 사랑을 받았으나 1989년에 일어난 공업용 쇠기름 사건으로 큰 타격을 받았다.
1963년 9월 15일에 출시된 대한민국 최초의 인스턴트 라면이자, 삼양라면 시리즈의 오리지널 버전이다.
2017년 8월 17일에 출시된 삼양라면의 매운맛 버전이다.
2018년 9월에 출시된 삼양라면의 치즈볶음면 버전이었으나 단종되었다.
삼양라면 오리지널 버전에서 해물맛을 더한 라면이다. 최초 출시는 1982년으로 이후 오랜 기간 판매가 중단되었으나 2020년 7월에 삼양라면 골드 봉지면을 한정판으로 재 출시 했고, 2020년 12월 30일에는 삼양라면 골드 용기면을 출시했다.
제6공화국(대통령 노태우)에 접어들어, 1989년 11월 3일 라면에 공업용 쇠기름을 사용한다는 투서를 받고, 검찰이 《보건범죄 단속에 대한 특별조치법》과 《식품위생법》으로 삼양식품과 관련 업체 5개사 대표를 구속 입건하였다. 검찰은 삼양라면이 “비누와 윤활유 원료로 사용하는 공업용 수입 쇠기름을 사용해 라면을 만들어 시판했다”고 발표했고, 언론은 ‘공업용 우지’라는 선정적인 용어를 이용하여 국민들을 혼란에 빠트렸다.
1989년 11월 6일 보건사회부장관 김종인이 라면이 인체에 무해하다는 판정을 내렸고, 11월 28일 구속자 전원이 석방되었다. 그러나 이 사건으로 인해 기업의 신뢰도는 떨어지고, 생산 및 판매가 중단되면서 직원들의 퇴사로 일자리를 잃었으며, 점유율이 급격히 하락하여 회사의 존폐 위기에 몰렸다.
2009년 9월, 최초로 닭고기 국물맛을 재현한 삼양라면이 '더 클래식'이라는 부제를 붙여 따로 출시되었다. 그러나 이후 단종되었다.
2010년 3월 23일 창업주인 전중윤 회장이 명예회장으로 물러나고, 전인장 회장이 취임했다.
2008년 6월 라면 제조사인 삼양식품과 농심에서 생산하는 라면제품에 각각 이물질이 발견되어 물의를 일으켰다. 6월 13일 삼양식품의 용기라면 ‘큰컵 맛있는 라면’에서 금속성 너트(암나사)가 발견되었고, 6월 17일 농심 신라면에서 바퀴벌레 이물질이 나왔다고 보고되었다.
도리어 누리꾼들은 "삼양라면을 먹읍시다"라고 호소하고 '삼양라면 구매운동'이 누리꾼 사이에서 확산되었다.
연쇄점

연쇄점, 또는 체인점(←chain store)은 넓은 지역에 같은 종류 또는 유사한 상품을 판매하는 다수의 소매점포를 갖는 결합 조직을 가리키는 말이다. 연쇄점이 대한민국에 처음 도입되었을 당시에는 '체인점'이라는 명칭이 많이 쓰였는데, 최근에는 '유통'이라는 말을 붙인 상호가 많이 늘어났다. 다루는 품목은 식료품, 생활용품, 위생용품, 잡화, 기호품 등 다양하다.
연쇄점은 전 점포를 중앙 본부에서 일괄적으로 통제·관리한다. 경영 규모는 보통 소매업자보다 크고 생산자 또는 제조업체와의 직접 거래·대량 사입(仕入)이 가능하기 때문에 가격 경쟁력 면에서 개별 소매점보다 유리하다. 또한 체계적이고 합리적인 경영 관리가 가능하므로 판매와 유통 양면에서 효율이 높다.
바세린

바세린(영어: Vaseline 바셀린)은 유니레버의 상표명이자, 석유 젤리 브랜드이다. 석유에서 추출한 페트롤리움 젤리를 주성분으로 하여 바디로션, 핸드크림, 입술보호제 등을 제조 · 판매하고 있다. 바세린이라는 브랜드 이름은 독일어로 '바썰(Wasser)'과 '올리브 오일(Olive Oil)'를 그리스어로 '엘라이온(Elaion)'이 결합된 것으로, 또는 스페인어로 '바세놀(Vasenol)'이라고도 불린다.
1859년에 미국의 화학자인 로버트 체스브로(Robert A. Chesebrough)가 페트롤리움 젤리를 정제해 상처치료제를 개발했고, 1870년에 '체스브로 매뉴팩처링(Chesebrough Manufacturing Co.)'이라는 회사를 설립해 이 상처치료제를 바세린이라는 이름으로 시장에 출시했다. 또한, 페트롤리움 젤리가 첨가된 헤어토닉(Hair Tonic), 콜드크림(Cold Cream)을 추가로 출시해 스킨케어 시장에서 성공을 거두었고, 1955년에 경쟁업체인 '폰즈 액스트랙트(Pond's Extract Co.)'와 합병해 '체스브로-폰즈사(Chesebrough-Ponds, Inc.)'를 설립했다. 1987년에 미국의 식료품 및 화장품 업체인 유니레버가 스킨케어 시장에서 두각을 나타내는 체스브로-폰즈사를 인수했고, 이후 바세린은 글로벌 광고 마케팅을 통해 세계 시장으로 인지도를 높여 나갔다.
한국에는 1985년에 애경을 통해 들어왔다.
Jang-jorim

Jang-jorim (Korean: 장조림; Hanja: 酱조림) is a Korean side dish consisting of lean beef braised in soy sauce with shishito peppers and eggs. Jang-jorim is a type of jorim, a Korean simmered dish that preserves well. The side dish is commonly packed in lunch boxes in South Korea and is sold at South Korean convenience stores as a lunchtime dish. The dish can also be made using shiitake mushrooms, quail eggs, and pork.
The first known description of jang-jorim is in Volume 128 of the Veritable Records of the Joseon Dynasty, where it describes a dish called damhae (Korean: 담해; Hanja: 醓醢) made by slicing beef and braising it in soy sauce.
The dish is made by simmering small chunks of lean beef first in water, skimming off any scum. Once the beef is cooked, the meat is simmered in soy sauce along with a mixture of garlic, ginger, and sugar. When served, the meat is shredded along the grain, and drizzled with the braising liquid to re-moisten the meat. The dish preserves well in the fridge, and is typically served cold with other side dishes.

New Grand Mart

New Grand Mart is a Korean supermarket chain primarily located in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area and the Greater Richmond Region, formerly having had locations in North Carolina and Georgia. It was founded in 2002 by David Min Sik Kang, a Korean-American entrepreneur who originally owned small Korean grocery stores in Washington, D.C. Grand Mart was owned by Annandale, Virginia-based Man Min Corporation prior to its disestablishment; in 2013, Green Paradise Enterprises bought two former Grand Mart locations in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area and rebranded the chain as New Grand Mart.
New Grand Mart provides a wide selection of Korean and East Asian groceries and fresh produce. Depending on the location of the store, it also offers varying amounts of Asian, Latino, African and traditional American groceries. Some stores advertise in the Spanish language media as "Mercado Grande," and have signs in English, Spanish and Korean. Nevertheless, all New Grand Mart supermarkets retain a strong Korean flavor, which include in-store Korean bakeries and video rental shops which rent out DVDs of television shows from South Korea.
Grand Mart's final store to open in the Washington area opened in Frederick, Maryland in 2013. In mid-2008, Grand Mart closed its Security Square Mall location, the only store it had in the Baltimore area. In October 2014, Grand Mart closed its Frederick location.
Grand Mart attempted to expand outside of the Washington area, including more locations in Georgia and North Carolina, and planned stores in Texas and New York. In Chicago, it purchased eight former Cub Foods locations. However, the Grand Mart format was not successful in the Chicago area, and the four stores that were opened (Bedford Park, Chicago, Melrose Park and Niles) subsequently closed. After the closure of the Chicago-area Grand Mart stores, plans for downstate independent grocer Niemann Foods to expand into the Chicago market by acquiring several of the shuttered Grand Mart stores fell through. The Chicago location (at North and Cicero Avenues) is now a Food 4 Less store while the Bedford Park location is now an Art Van Furniture. The Melrose Park location later became a Meijer (which closed on June 17, 2017) and the Niles location is now a Fresh Farms Market.
New Grand Mart has stores in Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C., most of which are targeted primarily toward the Korean American community, which is concentrated heavily in Fairfax and Montgomery counties.
Food Lover's Market

Food Lover's Market is a South African supermarket chain that operates franchised grocery stores and convenience stores in Southern Africa. The company is a member of the Franchise Association of South Africa. As of 2022, there are over 300 stores in South Africa, two in Botswana, three in Zimbabwe, and three, in Namibia.
The company was established in 1993 as a single Fruit & Veg City store in Access Park, a factory outlet complex in the Kenilworth suburb of Cape Town. The initial store was converted from an existing business, The Carrot King, into a Fruit & Veg City store.
Food Lover's Market was founded by brothers Brian and Mike Coppin, whose father had been the Director of OK Bazaars, a retail chain that was acquired by the Shoprite Group in 1997. When it opened, the company sourced its products directly from farmers and municipal markets and priced them aggressively to grow in the market whilst competing with existing large retail chains.
In 1995, the brothers were approached by someone wanting to operate a store in Port Elizabeth, and the first franchise store opened. Franchises in East London, Durban, Bloemfontein, and Pretoria followed. The company opened its first store in Johannesburg in 1999.
In 2012, Food Lover's Market expanded its offering to include non-food items and announced that it would be converting all Fruit & Veg City outlets to its Food Lover's Market brand. In 2014, the company announced it would begin stocking items in a number of grocery categories from British retailer Waitrose.
In 2015, the firm received an R760 million investment from emerging market investor Actis. The firm's CEO, Brian Coppin, stated that the company was attracted to Actis' history of working with family-owned businesses.
The company also operates 24-hour convenience stores under the FreshStop brand at over 200 Caltex gas stations across South Africa. It also sells liquor at Market Liquor stores next to select Food Lover's outlets and operates cafeteria-style restaurants at Food Lover's Eatery locations.
Food Lover's Market receives some of its products from South African company Cape Roasters and supplies its stores through FVC International, a South African import and export company.
South African coffee chain Seattle Coffee Company has outlets at Food Lover's Market and FreshStop stores across the country.
Food Lover's Market has a partnership with South African bank ABSA, whereby ABSA customers can earn cash back by using their debit and credit cards at Food Lover's stores.

List of South Korean boy bands

South Korean boy bands refer to South Korea's all-male idol groups who account for a large portion of the K-pop industry. Korean boy bands have aided in the global spread and promotion of Korean culture through their demonstrated prominence and popularity. The emergence of hip-hop music act Seo Taiji and Boys in 1992 shifted the focus of the Korean music industry to teen-centred pop music. Idol bands of young boys or girls were formed to cater to a growing teenage audience. In 1995, Lee Soo-man, the founder of SM Entertainment, brought the idol trainee system to South Korea, which further solidified the format for idol bands and modern Korean pop culture.
Boy bands from the late 90s and early 2000s, such as H.O.T., Sechs Kies, Shinhwa, and g.o.d, who were trained with the idol system, are cited to help build the foundations as the first successful all-male groups in Korea and as pioneers of the first Hallyu Wave. From 2007 onward, second generation groups, such as BigBang, TVXQ, Super Junior, 2PM, Shinee, Beast, and Infinite, continued to grow the popularity of boy bands domestically in Korea, as well as globally through the second phase of Hallyu. The rise of groups such as Exo and BTS in 2012 and 2013 launched the third generation of boy bands and introduced K-pop to mass global appeal. BTS, in particular, has attained mainstream Western appeal with number-one hits on the Billboard charts and multiple collaborations with several global artists, including Coldplay, Nicki Minaj, and Halsey. Other major boy bands that debuted from 2012 onward include Seventeen, NCT, Tomorrow X Together, Stray Kids, Ateez, and Enhypen, all of whom continue to garner widespread attention and build K-pop's global appeal.

World Conker Championships

The World Conker Championships (WCC) is a conkers tournament held annually on the second Sunday in October in the county of Northamptonshire, England. Two players use conkers threaded onto a string and take turns to strike the other's nut until it shatters. Players from around the world enter the tournament, competing in a knock-out format in both team and individual formats, with titles for men's, women's and youth categories. Up to 5,000 spectators watch around 400 players participating. from many countries, including Australia, Austria, Canada, France, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Poland, Russia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Ukraine, the United States and the United Kingdom.
The World Conker Championships began in 1965 when a group of anglers in Ashton held a conker contest at the Chequered Skipper public house when the weather was too bad to go fishing. At the event, a small collection was made for charity, by Garth Crooks, who was having dinner in the pub with his family. Since then the event has raised over £420,000 for charities supporting the visually impaired and at least £2,500 is donated yearly. The event was held in Ashton for 45 years before moving to a larger venue at the Shuckburgh Arms in Southwick, Northamptonshire in 2009.
The tournament has been threatened with conker shortages over the years, in 1976 conkers used in the tournament had to be flown in from Jersey, in 1980 freak spring weather was one of the factors that threatened the World Conker Championships causing a conker shortage, and in 1982 a late frost killed off the horse chestnut blossom resulting in a failed conker harvest.
On 6 October 2011, organisers were forced to cancel the event over safety fears with high winds being forecast. In 2012, the championships were cancelled again when a suitable venue couldn't be found in time.
Concerns for the future of the event were voiced over the horse-chestnut leaf miner moth, Cameraria ohridella, which has appeared in the region and could have a detrimental effect on the UK's horse chestnut population affecting conker yields.
On 9 October 2017, Chelsea pensioner John Riley won the men's tournament at the age of 85, quite possibly making him the oldest world champion on the planet.
In 2022, Fee Aylmore won the women's event after 30 years of trying.
In 2024, allegations of cheating were levelled at the men's event winner David Jakins by men's runner-up Alastair Johnson-Ferguson, when a brown-painted fake steel conker was discovered in his pocket. Jakins was also one of the event's organisers, responsible for the handing out of chestnuts used by the competitors. He was cleared of any suspicion after a review of video evidence, by fellow organiser St. John Burkett.
Players' Rules of Engagement for the Noble Game of Conkers as follows:
All players are British except where indicated with a national flag icon.

Moira, Leicestershire

Moira is a former mining village about 2.5 miles (4 km) south-west of Ashby-de-la-Zouch in North West Leicestershire, England. The village is about 3 miles (5 km) south of Swadlincote and is close to the boundary with Derbyshire. The population is included in the civil parish of Ashby Woulds.
For centuries North West Leicestershire has been quarried and mined for coal, limestone, granite and brick clay, and its environmental damage was one of the reasons that it was chosen in the 1990s as the site for the National Forest, which is part of a Government-funded programme to create more woodland. Proximate villages include Donisthorpe, Overseal, Oakthorpe and Spring Cottage.
Moira's toponym is derived from the Irish earldom of Moira, one of the titles of the Hastings family, which held Ashby de la Zouch Castle. The former local coal pit, Rawdon Colliery, also bore a Hastings family name.
In 2022, residents were amused when a road sign spelled the name 'Moria', suggesting a link with Tolkien's fictional Middle-earth.
The Midland Railway opened its Leicester to Burton upon Trent Line through Moira in 1845. Moira station served the village until British Railways closed it in 1964. The building survives and the line remains open as a freight route.
Rawdon Colliery was worked for about 150 years. Its seams extended 6 miles (10 km) from the shaft, and some had been worked twice, recovering lower grade coal. The pit survived Britain's pit closure programme in the mid-1980s that followed the miners' strike, but ran out of viable coal seams. Gases were rarely a hazard, but spontaneous combustion of coal dust was a potential problem.
The 120 acres (49 ha) National Forest Millennium Discovery Centre, now called 'Conkers', is on the site of Rawdon Colliery. Its visitor centre features a borehole-based heating and cooling system. Moira Junction Local Nature Reserve occupies 8.5 acres (3.4 ha) of former railway sidings nearby.
Moira Furnace is a restored 19th-century blast furnace. A 1.5-mile (2.4 km) section of the Ashby-de-la-Zouch Canal adjacent to the furnace has also been restored and rewatered, although it lacks a navigable link to the rest of the system due to the A42 road having been built across its line. The furnace site also has craft workshops and a small nature reserve.
Both the Youth Hostels Association's National Forest youth hostel and the Camping and Caravanning Club's National Forest campsite are in Moira and opened in 2008.
There is a Co-Operative supermarket on Shortheath Road, which was given a new frontage in 2016.
The Hicks Lodge nature reserve lies approximately 1 mile east of the village.

La Salle Green Hills

Ang La Salle Green Hills ay isang Katolikong institusyon para sa mga lalaki na naglalayon na humubog ng mga responsableng mamamayan at mga pinuno sa hinaharap. Upang magampanan ang mithiing ito at ang tatlong-tiklop na ideyal ng religio, mores, at cultura, inaapirma ng La Salle Green Hills ang misyon nito: ang pagbuo ng mga Kristiyanong matinong lalaki na nabubuhay sa ebanghelyo.
Ika-apat na pinakamatandang paaralan ng De La Salle Philippines, ang lupon ng lahat ng institusyong Lasalyano sa Pilipinas.
Nakamit ng La Salle Green Hills ang pitong taong akreditasyon ng PAASCU noong 1991 at 1998. Natatangi ang La Salle Green Hills sa pagkakaroon nito.
Upang magampanan ang misyon na ito, pinapangako ng La Salle Green Hills na:
Noong unang bahagi ng dekada 50, nahirapan ang mga Brothers ng De La Salle College (De La Salle University-Manila ngayon) na tanggapin ang mga estudyanteng nagnanais makapasok sa elementaryo. Kailangan nilang baliktarin ang isang naunang polisiya na hindi magpapalaki sa kalakhang Maynila kundi sa mga lalawigan lamang.
Kahit hindi sigurado, nakinig sila sa mga suhestiyon mula sa mga mababait na kaibigan ng paaralan. Iminungkahi ng magkapatid na Ortigas, Don Rafael at Atty. Francisco, na pag-aralan ang isang proposisyon na kunin ang isang lote sa likod ng Wack Wack Golf Course. Mahirap matunton at hindi pa napapaunlad ang lugar ngunit may nakahanda ng tubig mula NAWASA at kuryente mula MERALCO.
Pagkatapos ng masusing mag-aaral ng mga Brothers, napagkasunduan ang mga kondisyong hiningi ng mga direktor ng Mandaluyong Estate at ipinanotaryo ang katibayan ng pagkabili noong 10 Agosto 1956. Anim na hektarya ang buong loteng nakuha.
Si Brother Arthur Peter ang nagsagawa ng groundbreaking para sa bagong Central house noong 16 Hunyo 1958. Noong 17 Oktubre 1968, ang House of Formation ay inilipat mula Baguio sa bago nitong lugar na ngayo'y Green Hills Subdivision na.
Ang La Salle Green Hills ay isang korporasyong non-stock at non-profit na binuo at kinilala ng batas ng Pilipinas at rehistrado sa Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) noong 24 Agosto 1960 na may opisyal na pangalang La Salle Green Hills, Inc.
Noong 1 Pebrero 1961, pinangunahan ni Brother C. John, ang huli sa mga naunang mga Brother na pumunta sa Pilipinas ng 1912, ang groundbreaking ng unang permanenteng gusali. Binasbasan ang lugar ni Fr. Jean Desautels, SJ, rektor ng Paaralang Xavier (Xavier School), at inilatag ni Brother H. Gabriel Connon, Auxiliary Provincial ng Pilipinas, ang batong pundasyon. Ang opisina ni Gines Rivera ang gumawa ng mga plano para dito.
Noong 1969, maraming mahahalagang pangyayari ang naganap at isa sa mga pinakabantog ay ang pagkilala sa hugis itlog na St. Benilde Hall at ang kasarinlan ng distrito ng Pilipinas mula sa Amerika.
Sa loob ng maikling panahon ng 40 taon, naitatag ng La Salle Green Hills ang pagiging paaralan ng karunungan na nakamit ang tiwala ng mga magulang sa paghubog sa buhay ng kanilang anak na lalaki at pagiging kaagapay sa pormasyong relihiyoso, moral at kultural.
