Park Wang ja, a 53-year-old housewife from Seoul, had gotten up extra early to see the sunrise on Friday morning. She was strolling on the beach near the Mount Geumgang tourist resort in North Korea, and she was not alone. Five other tourists had also gotten up early to catch the sunrise from the beach at Mount Geumgang. For South Koreans, it is a special vantage point from which to welcome the day; it lies about 21 miles (34 km) north of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), which has divided the two Koreas for more than 50 years.

...alleged aid to Syria for a nuclear reactor that Israel destroyed last September. (They are also skeptical that Pyongyang will ever come clean about its alleged uranium-enrichment program, which U.S. negotiators believe it developed along with the plutonium program it is now shutting down.) Now, as Park Wang Ja heads home for a funeral, Seoul will be forced to "keep our eye on the nuclear ball and just keep negotiating, despite this incident," as one former diplomat put it. "We just have to make sure the North keeps its word [on the nuclear] deal," says the former six-party...

...single—is particularly weak. “Do You Wanna Dance?” is one of the very few Pastor Troy tracks that suffers from an inability to tastefully handle any song that isn’t about thuggin’, a condition known as Ja-Rule-featuring-Ashanti Syndrome, or JRFAS for short. Perhaps he’s trying to recapture the success of his only true breakout track, 2002’s “Are We Cuttin’.” Problem is, that song wasn’t really all that good...

...boring. Rihanna has a decent voice and an enormous marketing machine, but zero personality. “Pon de Replay” channeled the Caribbean to some exciting results, but this one belongs on American Idol. Hopefully this song is just an aberration and the start of a Ja Rule-like career trajectory. Grade: C Sean Kingston – “Beautiful Girls” Moderate vocoding on mid-tempo R&B seems like a fool-proof template for radio hits; I’m surprised that it took this long for someone more appealing than Akon...
