이민호와 함께 만드는 '투명우산' Ep.02






이민호가 '투명우산'을 만든 이유 

                                                               2016.08.22 by 이민호

"안녕하세요, 이민호 입니다


여러분과 함께 '투명 우산 프로젝트'를 시작한지 벌써 일주일이 지났네요. 그 사 이 목표했던 100만 하트를 넘어 200만 하트까지 도달해 두 가지 미션을 달성하게 되었습니다.

함께 하트를 눌러주신 여러분들 덕분에 투명우산 2,500개를 전국에 있는 초등학 교 어린이들에게 전달하고 또, 특별한 선물을 함께 나눌 수 있게 되었습니다. 참 여해 주신 분들께 진심으로 감사 드립니다.

오늘은 처음으로 투명우산 프로젝트에 대해 소개했던 1화에 이어서 조금 더 자세 한 얘기를 해볼까 합니다. 개인적으로 큰 교통사고를 겪은 후에 교통사고를 예방 하는 일에 관심을 갖게 되었다는 말씀을 드렸었는데, 우연히 한 통계를 보고 어린 친구들의 교통안전에 특별히 더 관심을 갖게 되었습니다.

"어린이 사고사망원인 1위 '교통사고'  

OECD의 한 통계에 따르면 최근 10년간 어린이 사고사망원인 1위는 바로 어린이 교통사고라고 합니다.

우리나라 어린이 교통사고 사망자 수는 줄어들어가고 있기는 하지만 어린이들이 보행 중 교통사고로 사망하는 경우가 여전히 많다고 합니다. 보행 중 사고에 특별 히 취약한 나이는 취학 전 아동과 초등학교 저학년입니다.

통계를 살펴보면 취학 전 아동과 초등학교 저학년의 보행중 사망자 비율은 84.6%에 달하고, 사고 시간도 유치원이나 학교에 등교하는 시간이나 하교하는 시 간에 집중되어 있습니다. 이 통계를 보면서 어린이 교통안전을 위해 제가 할 수 있는 무엇일지 다시 한 번 고민하게 됐습니다.


'어린이 교통사고를 조금이라도 예방할 수 있는 방법이 있다면 어떤 것이 있을까' '어린이들의 등하굣길을 조금 더 안전하게 만들어 줄 수 있는 방법은 무엇일까'하 는 고민이었습니다.

어린이들이 특히 보행 중 교통 사고를 많이 당하는 이유는 여러가지가 있다고 하 는데요. 어린이는 어른보다 집중력이 좋은데 그 집중력 때문에 주변을 보지 못하 는 경우가 많습니다. 주변 상황을 살피기보다 친구들과 장난치고 핸드폰 보는 것 에 집중하기도 하죠.  

또, 어른보다 상대적으로 키가 작은 어린 친구들은 운전자에게 보이지 않는 상황 에서도 자기 눈에는 자동차가 보이기 때문에 차가 알아서 멈춰 줄 것이라고 생각 하는 경우도 많다고 해요. 소리가 나는 방향도 정확히 알아채지 못하는 편이기도 하구요. 그렇기 때문에 성인과는 다르게 보행 중에 사고를 당할 확률이 높아지는 것입니다

"그렇다면 비가 오는 날은 어떨까요?

어린이들의 관심을 끄는 것들은 더욱 많아지고, 소리의 전달력은 더 떨어질 수 밖 에 없습니다. 원래도 어른의 2/3 밖에 되지 않는 시야는 더 좁아집니다. 비 때문 에 운전자의 시야도 같이 좁아지고, 길을 건너는 아이들을 발견하는 게 힘든 상황 이 됩니다.

이런 위험한 상황을 대비해 어린 친구들에게 필요한 것은 안전에 대한 중요성을 인식하게 하는 교육 시간과 프로그램들입니다. 더불어 저는 프로미즈에서 여러분 과 함께 할 수 있는 간단하고 쉬운 방법을 생각해봤습니다.

바로 '투명우산'인데요

집에 있는 부모님이나 어른들이 쓰는 크고 무거운 우산은 어린 친구들이 들고 다 니기도 힘이 들 것 같았고, 어둡고 앞이 안 보이는 불투명한 우산은 주변을 살필 수 없어 어린 친구들에게는 너무 위험할 것 같다는 생각이 들었습니다.

아이들에게는 작고 가벼우면서 투명한 재질로 되어 있어 앞도 뒤도 옆도 다 잘 보이는 투명 우산이 필요했습니다.

[12-08-2016] Mermaid-sellers and cast reunions lined up for Legend of the Blue Sea

Na Young-hee, Hwang Shin-hye, Sung Dong-il



Legend of the Blue Sea
is the modern retelling of a Joseon classic fable about a mermaid caught by a fisherman, who was then saved and released back into the ocean. In the new drama, a mermaid struggling to adapt to human life in Seoul and a cynical con artist meet and fall in love. With the main cast now confirmed, the production team for the much-anticipated SBS fantasy romance drama is seriously getting down to business.

There’s been a flurry of casting, and it’s hard getting everything straight especially with so many talented names being thrown about. Of course, we have Lee Min-ho (Heirs) and Jeon Ji-hyun (You From Another Star) as our main leads. They have already headed to the Palau Archipelago to start filming their underwater scenes.

From the start, Writer Park Ji-eun (You From Another Star, Producer) reportedly had these two actors in mind when she wrote the script. She also called longtime friend Na Young-hee (Lucky Romance) to come join her in Legend of the Blue Sea. The actress has confirmed and this will be her fifth project with Writer Park, and her second project with Jeon Ji-hyun. They played the epitome of a comical bickering mother-daughter pair in You From Another Star.

In addition, veteran actress Hwang Shin-hye (Passionate Love), who can usually be seen in weekend makjangs and tearful melodramas, has received the script for the series and is positively reviewing it. Likewise, Sung Dong-il (Pied Piper, Answer Me 1988) is currently in negotiations to join the cast. For the first time in a long while, our neighborhood ajusshi may play the bad guy, who wants to sell the mermaid to the highest bidder.

Two other heavyweight talents who have confirmed are Lee Hee-joon (Yoo-na’s Street) and Moon Sori (Golden Age of My Life). Recently, both have been deeply steeped in the Chungmuro world, and so Legend of the Blue Sea will be their comeback to the small screen. Young rising actors Shin Hye-sun (Five Kids) and Lee Ji-hoon (Mirror of the Witch) have also joined the cast as supporting characters.

Wednesday-Thursday SBS drama Legend of the Blue Sea starts airing this November, after rom-com Jealousy Incarnate finishes its run.

[12-08-2016] Lee Min Ho Takes On Double Role For First Time With New Drama








Fans can look forward to see a whole new side, actually two new sides, to Lee Min Ho with his upcoming role in SBS’s new drama “Legend of the Blue Sea” (tentative title).

The fantasy romance is centered around a motif from the mermaid/merman story in Korea’s first historical (romance) storybook. In the Joseon-era storybook, it is recorded that real-life figure Kim Dam Nyeong returned mermaids/mermen that were caught by fishermen back to the sea.

Thus Lee Min Ho will act as Kim Dam Nyeong’s son Kim Mu during the Joseon Dynasty and as genius con artist Heo Jun Jae in present day. Both of his characters will experience love with Jun Ji Hyun who will portray a mermaid.

More information has been revealed about his con artist character. Kim Mu is a genius who is able to transform into a variety of roles including a prosecutor, lawyer, doctor, businessman, and more. Fortunately, viewers will be able to see a comedic side to the character as well.

The highly anticipated drama is scheduled to air later this year following the end of “Incarnation of Envy.”

[12-08-2016] Lee Min-ho to hand out transparent umbrellas to children



Actor Lee Min-ho is set to embark on his new donation project, dubbed the “Transparent Umbrella Project.”

The project aims to distribute 2,500 free transparent umbrellas to ensure children see clearly on rainy days.

Lee posted plans for the project Wednesday on the Korean crowdfunding platform Storyfunding. Within 10 hours, the project had earned 2 million “hearts.”

Lee vowed to implement the plan if the number of “hearts” exceeded 2 million. The action of giving “hearts” does not require payment.

Lee stressed the need for the project to keep children from being harmed by traffic. Lee was hospitalized for a year after following a car accident in 2006.

Lee has reportedly encouraged elementary schools across the nation to participate in the project.

The actor famous for his TV dramas and movies alike is known for organizing movements through donation platform Promiz. His contributions were recognized by the Ministry of Health and Welfare earlier this year.
