It's reached me from different sites that South Korean singer Lee-Ra, who debuted under the name of Shine was found dead in her home on the 6th of July. After vomiting and sadly choking, it's a horrible and sudden way to go.

Lee-Ra was a mere 24/25 years old. This is becoming a sad year of young deaths in the world of K-pop.

My condolences go out to her family and friends.

Also on another note today marks 3 years since the London 7/7 bombings. I nearly lost my uncle on this day and can remember the moment that my P.E teacher got a phone call from someone while me and few friends stayed to help clear up saying that a bomb had gone off on the tube. My heart sank and I hope that you the reader of this will NEVER feel how I did that day, I spent the rest of the day calling my aunt and uncle and couldn't contact either of them. Luckily my uncle didn't go in that day but 56 people still died and about 700 people where injured. The images of that day and the fear I felt will be with me forever.

So please don't forgot.

Last year Kim Min Soo, member of K-POP group Monday Kiz was involed in a motorbike accident, sadly he was involed in a second which cost him his life.

'The incident happened this morning at 6:20am where the motorbike that Kim Min Soo was riding on crashed into a tree along the road. According to his management, he was immediately whisked off to Boramae hospital after the accident but was pronounced dead at 6:50am by doctors. His pillion rider who goes by the name of Lee suffered serious injuries.

Can Entertainment representing Monday Kiz expressed, “Kim Min Soo had said after his accident last year that he wouldn’t ride a bike again. I really can’t believe that this had happened. I really don’t know what else to say. We are awaiting the results from police investigations.”'

I was shocked when I found out the news as I had just started listening to Mondya Kiz and at start of the year. He will be missed by everyone and at the age of 23 he went young...too young.
