Singer Bada in Bid to Boost Birthrate
Eight years after her debut, the pop singer Bada is preparing to market her first solo concert, ¡°Showman aLive,¡± with a novel twist. The concert will be held at Samseong-dong's COEX convention center in Seoul on July 29, and the singer and her management plan to do their bit for the nation¡¯s paltry birthrate by encouraging people to have children under the slogan "the happiness of manwon." Concertgoers who have more than two children will be given a "manwon" or W10,000 note (US$1=W954), according to Network Live, the organizer of the concert.
