South Korean Folk Rock Singers
South is one of the cardinal directions or compass points. The direction is the opposite of north and is perpendicular to both west and east. Etymology The word ''south'' comes from Old English ''sūþ'', from earlier Proto-Germanic ''*sunþaz'' ("south"), possibly related to the same Proto-Indo-European root that the word ''sun'' derived from. Some languages describe south in the same way, from the fact that it is the direction of the sun at noon (in the Northern Hemisphere), like Latin meridies 'noon, south' (from medius 'middle' + dies 'day', ), while others describe south as the right-hand side of the rising sun, like Biblical Hebrew תֵּימָן teiman 'south' from יָמִין yamin 'right', Aramaic תַּימנַא taymna from יָמִין yamin 'right' and Syriac ܬܰܝܡܢܳܐ taymna from ܝܰܡܝܺܢܳܐ yamina (hence the name of Yemen, the land to the south/right of the Levant). South is sometimes abbreviated as S. Navigation By convention, the ''bottom or down-f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Happy Sunday
''Happy Sunday'' () is a Korean reality-variety show shown on the KBS2 network, which competes directly against MBC's '' Sunday Night'' and SBS's '' Good Sunday'' line-up. Although it has been broadcast since 2003, its line-up of shows has frequently changed, with a complete revamp occurring in Spring of 2007. At that time, three new shows were introduced – ''Are You Ready'', ''High-Five'', and ''Immortal Songs''. Due to its poor reception, ''Are You Ready'' quickly evolved into '' 1 Night 2 Days'', with most of its cast intact. In late November 2008, ''Happy Sunday'' had a revamp of its shows keeping '' 1 Night 2 Days'' as the second segment and bringing back ''Immortal Songs'' which was previously liked by viewers. However, in late March, ''Immortal Songs'' ended once again and was replaced with '' Qualifications of Men'', making ''Happy Sunday'' an all-male cast, with a total of 14 members. In 2013, ''Qualifications of Men'' was cancelled and replaced with ''Star Family Sho ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
