The show will show their rise to the stop through satirical comedy.” 

He also added, “although the contract between Yoon Jong Shin and Teen Top is a setup for the show, there is a possibility of it actually happening in real life.” 

“Entertainers” will be a mocumentary-style show where real people will play themselves in fictional situations. Various artists from MYSTIC89, Yoon Jong Shin’s independent label, are also planned to make appearances throughout the show.

Urine: An Ever-Flowing Stream of Fuel Cell Material?

urinating-statue

To most people, urine is a waste fluid that’s promptly flushed away as soon as it’s expelled (unless you abide by the “yellow let it mellow” rule). But to scientists, your pee could be the golden font that advances carbon fuel-cell technology.

Korean scientists have demonstrated that carbon, a precious fuel cell material, can be extracted from dried urine and that it is a powerful conductor of electricity.

The findings, published Monday in Nature, offer an economical way to advance fuel cell technology, and could also improve the environment if deployed on a large scale.

Urine Power

Fuel cells — devices which harvest energy from a chemical reaction — often use platinum as a catalyst, making them expensive to produce. Researchers have been exploring ways to replace the metal with carbon. However carbon nanostructures, created synthetically, can also be quite expensive.

Now researchers from South Korea have proven that equally effective carbon compounds can be extracted from urine — making them a cheap stand-in for platinum or synthetic carbon.

To test the potential of pee, scientists collected urine samples from healthy individuals. Then, they heated individuals’ samples to evaporate the water, leaving behind a dried, yellowish deposit. Next, they super-heated various test samples of dried urine in a range between 700 and 1,000 degrees Celsius for six hours to carbonize the urine.

The heating process caused salts and other elements to gasify and leave behind carbon. Urine is loaded with other elements besides carbon, which makes the leftover carbon highly porous — ideal for fuel cell catalysts. As an added bonus, the gasified salts solidified and clung to the furnace wall after cooling; researchers say it’s possible to harvest these remnants for commercial use as de-icing salts.

Most importantly, the urine carbon was an excellent conductor of electricity, especially the batch that was heated to 1,000 degrees. Researchers said this is the first time carbon was extracted from urine using this simple method.

An Abundant Resource

Roughly 300 to 400 milligrams of urine carbon can be extracted from a single liter of urine, which means a single person can generate up to 0.2 ounces of the fuel catalyst a day. Multiply that by everyone using the restroom at this very moment, and you have yourself an abundant resource.

Researchers said urine could easily be collected at public restrooms and dried outdoors by the sun to create the yellowish powder that starts the process. Where these open fields of urine will reside is another question. But researchers say their findings could help put our waste, which pollutes waterways with phosphates and pharmaceuticals, to good use.

It’s certainly a lot to contemplate for your next trip to the lavatory

LUNAFLY greets Singapore media at press conference

On 7th June 2014, boy band LUNAFLY visited Singapore for their third time, holding a solo fanmeet as well as being a special guest at the 6th Korean Night Festival. Before the fanmeet started, we were honored to be able to interview the boys (Sam, Teo, and Yun) at a press conference at the Singapore Conference Hall.

The group brought laughter right from the start, as the boys gave their very honest responses with a light-hearted note. Teo shared his culture-shock experience in Mexico, where a fan gifted him a rather large-sized bra. That isn’t too surprising – Teo indeed has well-defined facial features, and he did look rather pretty when he had his long-hair concept.

The other members, Sam and Yun, agree too, as they teased Teo several times during the press conference. When asked about what kind of drama roles they would like to try out, Sam joking suggested Teo to act as a woman. Teo then eagerly expressed that he wants to act in a couple relationship, where Yun then joined in the fun by saying that Teo can act as the woman in the couple.

LUNAFLY displayed their chemistry very well, as they covered for one another, and made the press conference comfortable and full of laughter. Sometimes, they continued the sentences of one another, and they cliqued so well such that they seemed like perfect “partners-in-crime”, in making the audience think that all they said are the truth. When asked about their close celebrity friends, Sam gave a realistic answer, saying that he made new friends with EXO, INFINITE’s Woohyun, and B1A4 (most probably through the futsal games!). Teo then continued saying that he is friends with SNSD, Girls’ Day, APink, and many other Korean female artistes that you can think of! It got on further when Sam and Teo started saying that Teo’s friend-list included world-famous singers like Pussycat Dolls, Beyonce and Mariah Carey. Well, if you don’t know Teo well enough, he’s the type who likes to exaggerate but we think he is cute this way!

Being known for their music covers, LUNAFLY listed a few artistes whose songs they are considering to cover next. Yun chose John Legend, Sam named Snoop Dogg and Jon Bon Jovi, and Teo chose Girls’ Day and Apink! (just as you expected!) LUNAFLY isn’t a typical Korean boy group, as they actually debuted onto music shows only after they were discovered on Youtube as a group who did amazing covers. So in the press conference, the boys shared the challenges they faced during the transition period. Also, they gave hints to fans as to what fan messages they remember the most, as well as giving their opinions on whether LUNAFLY is an Indie group or a mainstream K-pop group. Check out our interview with them below!

YouTube Preview Image

LUNAFLY released their latest song Special Guy featuring their lablemate Brown Eyed Girls’ Miryo on 10th March 2014, which Sam refers to it as a unique song that was very challenging to sing! Check it out below if you haven’t, it definitely very easy to follow!

Korea.com would like to sincerely thank Aurora Borealis for the kind invitation to cover LUNAFLY’s press conference and fanmeet in Singapore.
