Not Running for Office

ArticleDespite the high expectations of Ahn Cheol-soo running for the mayor`s seat, it has been confirmed tat he will not run in the upcoming mayoral by-elextion. Instead, the founder of the computer vaccine developer AhnLab announced that he will support a civic activist and a lawyer, Park Won-soon. The medical doxtor-turned IT expert told reporters during a press conference that his popularity in recent polls indicates the people`s need to bring a change in politics. "I am highly Thankful for people`s expectations. Sadly, I have made up my mind not to compete in the by-election. I will never forget their expectations and hope to repay them by living an honest and sincere life." Political analysts assume Ahn`s withdrawal from the race will cause a far-flung impact for all runner ups.

My opinion
I`m regreting that the Ahn`s not running for Office decision. Any runner ups can`t clean like Ahn. Although the doctor is more comfortable and rich than computer vaccine programer, he chose the way of programer for many people`s clean and comfortable computer. If he become a mayor, he will be able to do his work well.

Prosecution Drops Charges

Article
Fans of the boy band Big Bang have something to smile about. The group`s member Dae-sung whose full name us Kang Dae-sung, was under investigation after running over a 30-year-old man lying on the road and then crashing his vehicle into a parcked taxi in May.THe prosecution announced last week that there was a lack of evidence to prove that the entertainer was responsible for the man`s death. According to sources the autopsy conducted by the National Forensic Service concluded that the drunken man on the road may have been in critical condition after crashing his motorbike into a street lamp pole on the bridge before he was run over by the singer. For this reason, Dae-sung has been acquitted from the charges involving the man`s death. Unfortunately for the star he has been charged for careless driving as he could have avoided running over the man.

My opinion
I think that it is bad news both the man and Dae-sung. Because the man lost his life, and Dae-sung lost his glory although Dae-sung didn`t have any responsivility. This accident was caused by drinking driving. The Korean`s drinking driving is very serious. Many people have died by drinking driving in Korea. We should think more about drinking driving again.
