트와이스 팬 군단, 연대 강의실 습격에 ‘눈살’
JYP의 신인 걸그룹 트와이스 (Twice)가 오늘 (9일) 오후 연세대학교 상경대학을 불시에 찾은 행사에 일부 팬들이 질서정연하지 못한 모습을 보여 눈살을 찌푸리게 했다. 일찍이 트와이스는 대학생 인기 검색어 순위 1, 2위에 오른 것을 기념하려고 대학 강의실을 방문하겠다는 이벤트를 선포한 바 있었다. 어느 학교를 언제 찾아갈지는 극비에 진행되었다. (The Korea Herald)9일 당일 오전 11시경 이삼열 교수님의 “과학 기술의 정치 경제 수업” 수강생들은 수업이 외부 특강으로 대체되며, 특강 강사는 다름 아닌 걸 그룹 트와이스라는 깜짝 문자를 받았다. 하지만, 비수강생도 참석 가능하다는 말에 호기심이 동한 수많은 학생과 전문 사진기를 들고온 팬들이 각당헌에 모이면서 고성이 여기저기서 오갔다. 해당 수업의 한 수강생은 “이런 이벤트는 좋지만, 갑자기 팬들이 와서 소리지르고 어지럽혀 놓고 가니 정신없다”라며 “조금만 더 질서정연한 모습을 보여줬으면 좋지 않았을까 생각한다”고

배심원도 증거열람 거부한 엽기 살인사건… 어떻기에?
지난해 11월 양부가 의붓딸을 살해한 사건에 대한 재판이 시작된 가운데, 배심원단이 엽기적인 증거열람을 거부해 사건이 다시 조명을 받고 있다. (유튜브)사건은 미국 펜실베니아 주에서 일어났는데, 당시 53살 그레고리 그라프는 자신의 의붓딸 제시카 파젯을 살해하고 암매장한 사실을 자백했다. 하지만, 이 사건은 수사당국이 증거물을 하나둘씩 입수하면서 현지언론은 물론 당국에도 충격을 안겼다고 한다. 증거물 중 그라프의 컴퓨터에서 발견된 한 영상에 그라프가 파젯을 살해하고, 그녀의 시신과 성행위를 하는 장면이 적나라하게 담겨 있었던 것. 외신에 따르면 최근 재판이 시작되었지만, 12명의 배심원단은 이 영상을 시청하는 것을 거부했다고 한다. 그라프는 살인과, 시신훼손 혐의를 받고 있지만, 성폭행이 피해자가 살해된 후에 발생해 극형은 면할 것으로 예상한다고 외신은 전했다.

新세대만이 겪을 수 있는 ‘멘붕’
스마트폰이 아닌 일반전화기를 처음 사용해 본 소녀의 영상이 화제다. 미국에서 촬영된 것으로 알려진 이 영상은 한 남성이 호텔에서 모닝콜을 요청하면서 시작된다. 통화가 끝나자 남자는 딸에게 전화를 끊어 달라며 수화기를 건넨다. 반전은 이때. 10살 남짓한 딸은 수화기를 받아든 딸의 표정은 ‘이것은 무엇에 쓰는 물건인고?’ 아빠는 전화를 끊으라고 재촉하지만, 딸은 난감한 표정만 짓다 결국 엄마를 찾는다. 딸의 요청에 출동한 엄마도 황당하기는 마찬가지. 하지만, 딸의 ‘무지’에 웃고 있는 아빠와는 달리 엄마는 수화기를 내려놓으며 어린 소녀의 ‘멘붕’을 끝난다.
