JYP, 원더걸스 해체 "논의된 바 없다"
JYP 엔터테이먼트는 29일 “구체적으로 의논된 바가 없다”며 원더걸스 해체설을 일축했다. 한 온라인 매체가 같은 날 원더걸스가 사실상 해체하게 될 것이라는 단독보도를 내보내자 JYP 관계자는 “원더걸스 해체에 관해서는 회사(JYP엔터테인먼트)와 멤버들 서로 언급자체를 한 적이 없다”며 이를 적극적으로 부인했다. 지난 1월 리더인 선예가 현역 걸그룹 멤버로는 처음으로 결혼하는 동시에 캐나다로 이주하면서 원더걸스의 불투명한 미래에 대한 추측설이 불어졌다. 보도에 따르면 현재 임신 중인 선예가 출산 후 남편과 함께 아이티에서 선교활동을 할 계획이 있어 가수 활동을 할 가능성은 희박한 것으로 알려졌다. 다른 멤버들은 올해 상반기 선예 없이 개인 활동에 매진했지만, 가장 나중에 팀에 합류한 혜림 외에 예은, 유빈, 소희 3명은 올해 말과 내년 초 전속 계약이 만료돼 앞으로의 활동방향과 더불어 JYP와의 재계약에 대해 고민 중인 것으로 알려졌다. <관련 영문 기사>Wonder Girls'

日언론들, 반기문 총장 ‘역사인식 발언’ 비난
일본의 보수 언론들은 반기문 유엔 사무총장 이 26일 서울 기자회견을 통해 일본 정치 지도자들에게 올바른 역사인식을 촉구한 데 대해 사설 등으로 비판했다.요미우리(讀賣)신문은 `자질 의심스러운 편향 개입 발언’ 제하의 28일자 사설에 서 반 총장의 이번 발언은 “중립성, 공평성이 요구되는 유엔 사무총장으로서는 귀를 의심케하는, 일방적이고 문제있는 발언”이라고 비판을 가했다.사설은 이와 함께 “사무총장 회견은 유엔 공용어인 영어나 프랑스어로 하는 것 이 통례인데 이번에는 이례적으로 대부분이 한국어로 이루어졌다”면서 “국제기관에 적을 두고 있다면 한국의 상식은 세계의 비상식이라고 한국에 말해야 한다”고 원색적으로 비난했다.산케이(産經)신문도 사설을 통해 반총장의 발언은 “역사인식을 둘러싸고 대일 비판을 강화하고 있는 한국과 중국 편을 드는 것으로 용납할 수 없는 일이며 특히 일본 헌법개정 문제에 대한 비판적인 언급은 내정간섭에 가까운 것”이라고 비판했다.사설은 이어 스가 요시히데(菅義偉
