N. Korea not answering Panmunjom communication line
North Korea on Wednesday failed to answer a call made by the South on the communication line that runs through the truce village of Panmunjom, a day after high-level government talks were called off.The Ministry of Unification said Seoul placed a call at 9 a.m., but the North did not pick up the phone."The latest move is probably linked to the cancellation of talks late Tuesday, although there is a need to wait-and-see how the situation unfolds," said a ministry source, who declined to be identi

한국 축구, 20년 만에 아슬아슬 '경우의 수 따지기'
한국 축구대표팀이 11일 우즈베키스탄과의 2014 브라질 월드컵 최종예선 7차전 홈경기에서 상대 자책골에 힘입어 1-0 승리를 거두며 8회 연속 월드컵 본선 진출의 9부 능선을 넘었다. 이에 따라 한국은 18일 이란과의 최종예선 8차전에서 비기기만 해도 브라질 월 드컵 본선 무대를 밟는 유리한 고지에 올랐다.하지만 무언가 찜찜하다. '스페인식 티키타카' 축구를 추구했던 조광래 전 대표팀 감독이 성적 부진을 이 유로 사령탑에서 물러난 뒤 최강희 감독이 '소방수'로 나선 한국 축구는 세계 축구 의 흐름과는 역행하는 듯한 모양새다.무엇보다 월드컵 본선 진출이라는 대의에만 충실한 '이기는 축구'를 지향하다 보니 일부 전문가들 사이에서는 대표팀의 전술이 1970년대 축구로 회귀한 것 같다는 씁쓸한 진단까지 나왔다.전문가들의 지적대로 장신 공격수의 머리를 겨냥한 긴 패스 위주의 단순한 공격 은 어느새 대표팀의 중요한 전술로 자리를 잡았다. 그러는 사이 한국은 아시아의 맹 주에서 '해볼 만한

최초 미국 진출 한국 女가수 레코드 공개
한국 대중음악 역사 최초로 미국에 진출한 한국 여가수의 레코드가 지난 주 공개됐다.옛 가요 연구자인 이준희 성공회대 외래교수는 코리아헤럴드와의 전화 인터뷰에서 1940년대에 활발히 무대활동을 했던 옥두옥씨의 1956년도 미국 데뷔 레코드를 발견했다고 말했다.이준희 교수는 “옥두옥씨가 미국에 진출한 첫 한국 가수라는 추정은 있었다. 얼마 전 중고 인터넷 레코드 샵에서 레코드를 찾았고 지금 배송 중”이라며, 한류의 뿌리가 1956년까지 거슬러감을 증명하는 것이라고 설명했다.이준희교수가 찾은 옥두옥씨의 음반에는 “East of Make Believe(부제: Dong Chok Na Ra)"와 ”Kanda Kanda"라는 두곡이 실려 있다. 레코드 레이블에 써져있는 Moon Kim이라는 영문이름은 옥두옥의 실명인 김문찬에서 차용된 것으로 추정되고 있다.레코드 앞면에 실린 "East of Make Believe"는 가수 현인의 “고향만리”의 리메이크이며 “Kanda Kanda"는 장세정의 ”역
