Korea had an APEC meeting with a bunch of Asian leaders, and it concluded.
It had announced a list of about 150 people under the age of 35 who showed leadership quality.
However no KPop figures were chosen at all.
By now, all of you would have guessed whom I am about to write about.
From Korea several people were named. Complete list hard to find, but from Korea, Lee Sungkyung, Park Eunbin, Song Kang, all actors and someone else were selected from showbiz.

Lee Jieun, Korea, 32, 演员!
Lee Jieun's 18 years as a singer was erased, and she is now recognized by APEC as an Actress!
Elvis Presley acted in some movies before he got fat, and it is like putting "Elvis Presley, Actor" in his tombstone.
She is a non entity in the Western world , and even in Asia she is recognized as an actress, not a singer!
18 years of singing career erased at once.
It is like someone is telling her never to mess in Korean Pop ever again!
