It's literally freezing cold in the country these days... and we all dread being outdoors
in such weather.
But, it's a different story for those guarding the frontlines defending the nation.
Snow or hail, Special Forces of the Republic of Korea are immersed in their regular winter
training exercises - not anywhere else but in one of the coldest parts of the country.
Our very own Kim Hyun-bin braved the sub-zero climate to witness the process in Pyeongchang.
A platoon of Army Special Forces covertly rappels down from a helicopter into enemy
territory... and infiltrates key facilities.
Moments later a bomb explodes,... destroying the building.
On top of a mountain,...
Special Forces are in full gear, carrying more than 30 kilograms on their backs as they
ski down a steep slope.
Once the enemy is spotted, they switch into battle formation in the blink of an eye and
volley off a wave of bullets to neutralize the targets.
These exercises are part of South Korea's Special Forces winter training drills at Hwangbyeong
mountain in Gangwon-do Province.
"It's below minus 15 degrees Celsius here but the harsh conditions don't discourage
the Special Forces from completing their training."
From hand-to-hand combat to underwater infiltration,... they are all maneuvers that wouldn't look
out of place in an action movie.
"We are learning different skills, and enhancing our teamwork and minds to crush the enemy
at any cost.
We train as realistically as possible so we can become the best Special Forces in the
world."
Each battalion of South Korea's Special Forces will go through ten intense days of winter
training to better fulfill their duty of protecting the nation.

Bone chilling temps to persist on Friday - Duration: 2:01.
It's time now for the weather updates, so let's go over to Lee Jee-hyun at the weather
center.
Jee-hyun, many will head out to check the New Year's first sunrise, a tradition here
in Korea.
What are some popular destinations, other than the staple Jeongdongjin Beach in Gangwon-do
Province?
There are many great spots, but to name a few, you have Haneul Park in Seoul, a highly
recommended place to check out the first sunrise, not to mention Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak on
Jeju Island.
The sky will be fairly bright nationwide through the weekend, so the much anticipated first
sunrise of 2017 should be visible from anywhere in the country, while temperatures will start
to ease tomorrow afternoon.
Right now we are going through the coldest week of the season, prompting many people
to turn on the heaters.
The Korea Power Exchange said the demand for electricity reached a three-month high yesterday.
We'll still have to endure one more day of severe conditions...
with Seoul waking up to a morning low of minus 8 degrees Celsius while Daejeon will have
a low of minus 6 degrees.
Single digit afternoon highs are in store under mostly sunny skies, with Seoul topping
out at 3 degrees Celsius and 6 for Daegu.
That's Korea for you, here's look at the weather conditions around the world.

Alfa Romeo Spider (2007-2011) buying advice - Duration: 6:50.
An Alfa 159 as a convertible. A 'spider' in Italian.
Enough said. Go and get it. What's keeping you? It's for sale. Go for it.
It's an incredible beauty.
Yes, it's an Alfa Romeo, so there are some things to watch out for, but look at it.
This really is a pretty car. This is the Spider version of the Brera.
People were a bit disappointed with the Brera. It was a concept once.
The concept was prettier than the production version.
The proportions were better. However, I think the Spider is brilliant.
The shape of the headlights... I think it's full-on Alfa from the outside.
The inside...
The Spider has been in production for only 4 years, the Brera for 5 years.
It wasn't a bestseller for Alfa Romeo.
They never made a successor, which is a shame.
These models disappear from the market.
The engines aren't that exciting.
Alfa Romeo was part of GM back then, so it has some Opel genes.
However, there was also a diesel engine for the Alfa Spider and Brera for those who want drive much.
ENGINES gasoline, diesel
The car not being a bestseller is reflected on Marktplaats.
Only 20 of this generation Alfa Spider are for sale.
Prices start at 11,000-13,000 euros and go up high.
A more recent 1750 Turbo is over 20,000 euros and a low-mileage 3.2 JTS with AWD is over 30,000.
PRICES minimum, maximum
Speaking of the 3.2 JTS, it is a thirsty one.
It is heavy because of the AWD. Alfa Romeo was obese in this period. The 159 had this problem too.
So, that engine is thirsty. Its timing chain can jump a tooth sometimes, just like the 2.2 JTS.
It won't destroy the engine, as happened with the previous generation Alfa Romeo engines;
the Twin Sparks. If the engine won't run smoothly and it's a bit irregular, check the timing chain.
If a diesel engine doesn't have power over 2,000 rpm, it's the EGR valve.
Swirl flaps, other valves, can break. They don't end up in the engine, but can cause problems.
The water pump can get stuck. That's something to keep an eye on, because it won't cool anymore.
When driving over bumps... I hit one now, but don't hear anything. I think one's fine.
A thumping sound from the middle of the car is caused by worn front wishbones.
This happens to more cars. They'll need replacing.
Another thing is the interior. The materials used damage easily.
For example, where you put the key. Other keys on the key ring damage it.
It's difficult to replace, so check how it looks.
After you bought it, don't put a bunch of keys on and damage your center console.
Tip of the day. I don't get why people keep a bunch of other keys on the car key's ring.
It damages the car, makes noise, so don't do it.
This is a convertible, so look if the top's mechanism works right.
Casper made a video about the things to watch out for when buying a convertible.
It'll be a good idea to check that out. Open and close the top a couple of times to see if it works smoothly.
You can reset the windows. Sometimes they won't open and close properly.
For example, when opening the door.
If you open it all the way, press and hold the button for 10 seconds, close it all the way,
and press and hold for another 10 seconds, it will reset the window mechanism.
This can be a tip if you have window issues.
A final thing: the paint quality.
More modern cars have water-based paints that are softer and less durable.
Alfa Romeo had problems with that as well, so check for stone chips on the hood and wheel arches.
There shouldn't be much damage.
We found this car at Multicar in Gorinchem.
It's a 2.2 JTS with an elegant color combination. The interior has a special color.
I don't know if I think it's pretty, this bluish-gray leather.
It's a bit strange, but it may be nice.
THIS CAR

10 SHOCKING Things About DISNEY Couples Kids Would NEVER Know - Duration: 7:09.
Disney movies have brought us some of the most amazing and iconic couples of all time.
It seems like all of the Disney princesses have found their perfect match and the world
loves to love these inspiring stories.
Disney fans are a very knowledgeable bunch, but some of the princess couple facts that
we have uncovered might surprise even the most die-hard Disney lovers.
For this list we are taking a look at 10 Shocking Facts About DISNEY Princess Couples You May
Not Have Known.
Enjoy this video and be sure to hit the subscribe button to get more awesome content every single
day!
Tangled Tangled is one of Disney's biggest hit movies
in recent years.
The film tells the timeless story of Rapunzel, while adding in some new fun characters and
plot points.
One thing that audiences may not have realized when watching Tangled however is that Rapunzel
and her love interest, Flynn, have the largest age gap of any of the Disney Princess couples.
Rapunzel is 18 in the film and Flynn is 26, giving them an eight-year difference.
Disney probably made the right choice in making Rapunzel an adult or else this whole situation
could have become a little creepy.
Regardless of their age gap, Flynn and Rapunzel are a great Disney couple and prove to people
that sometimes the heart just wants what it wants.
Hercules and The Little Mermaid Hercules and Ariel are two of the most beloved
characters in the Disney universe and fans online have imagined them crossing over and
even being a couple.
Unfortunately, this would be a couple that would be very creepy.
In The Little Mermaid Ariel is the daughter of Triton, who is the son of the great god
Poseidon.
Poseidon is the brother of Zeus, who is father to Hercules.
If you are able to follow that line, you quickly realize that Hercules and Ariel are actually
related.
Unless Disney is planning on taking their movies in a more Game Of Thrones style direction,
we suggest that they do not pair up Hercules and Ariel.
Aladdin Aladdin and Jasmine are one of the most interesting
and entertaining Disney couples of all time.
Their love story is a lot of fun and they brought the world one of the most iconic love
songs of all time while on their magic carpet ride.
Something that a lot of fans of the movie may not know about these two is that Jasmine
actually helped influence the design of Aladdin during the earlier animation stages.
Earlier sketches showed him seeming much younger and scruffy.
But once Jasmine was designed and looked absolutely stunning, animators thought it wouldn't
be believable that she would go for someone who looked like such a street rat.
The movie is an amazing story of rags to riches, but the animators decided that there was a
limit to how "raggy" Aladdin could be.
Sleeping Beauty and The Beast By this point, it is pretty common knowledge
that there are countless connections, references and Easter eggs linking Disney's movies
to one and other.
Fans love to look for these little gems, but we doubt many people have the astute eye needed
to connect Sleeping Beauty and Beauty and the Beast.
These two movies actually share a famous couple scene.
Belle's iconic dance with the Beast was actually created from the same animation cells
as Aurora's dance with the Prince.
Apparently, the animators were running out of time and needed to get the movie finished,
so they just decided to borrow from some of their earlier work.
Some may call it plagiarism, but we'll call it a fun hidden secret!
Pocahontas For years and years Disney's film Pocahontas
has been criticized for its portrayal of history and for fudging a lot of the details.
One fact that Disney took some liberties with was the age of Pocahontas in the movie.
Disney decided to make her eighteen years old but in real life, Pocahontas met John
Smith at a much younger age.
What was their justification for doing this?
Disney has claimed that it was done to make for a more dramatic and exciting story.
That may be true, but are also guessing that Pocahontas was aged to help keep away creepy
vibes.
Beauty and The Beast Belle is often thought of as the great Disney
princess of all time as she represents moral goodness and true beauty all while showing
off what it is like to be a flawed person.
Her relationship with Beast is iconic and we are excited to see Emma Watson take on
the role in 2017.
Something that fans may not know about Belle is that she is the only person in her entire
town to be seen wearing blue, which symbolizes her position as an outsider to the rest of
the characters in the film.
Later on, Beast appears wearing blue as well, signifying their union as a couple.
This was a subtle and clever artistic choice that really changes the way you see the movie!
Brave Brave was one Disney movie that took the world
by surprise with its immense success and appreciation.
The movie has been hailed as great and progressive content and Merida quickly became a favorite
Disney princess.
The craziest couple fact from this Disney flic is that there are none!
Brave introduced Merida as the first Disney Princess without a love interest in her film,
letting her stand-alone.
It's crazy that it took until 2012 for that to happen, but we imagine that as the world
becomes more and more progressive, we will see more characters like Merida!
Mulan Mulan is an absolutely epic Disney film and
introduced the world to one of the most badass Disney princesses of all time.
One of the craziest things about Mulan, though, is that she is actually the only Disney Princess
that isn't a literal princess by blood or marriage.
Mulan and her love interest Captain Li Shang may be awesome and powerful, but they are
not actually royalty.
Regardless of her lineage however, we definitely think that Mulan has earned her spot as an
official Disney princess.
Sleeping Beauty Sleeping Beauty is probably one of the most
famous and most bizarre Princesses on the Disney roster.
Princess Aurora only actually has 18 minutes of screen time in the movie and oddly enough
only speaks 18 lines of dialogue.
She is basically defined by her relationship with Prince Phillip so it makes why the actors
Bill Shirley and Mary Costa auditioned together for the two lead roles in the movie.
They did this to ensure that their voices complemented each other as the Prince and
Princess.
This clearly worked as Disney has immortalized the characters forever.
Frozen Ever since Frozen was released in 2013, children
and adult alike have been absolutely obsessed with the film and it's incredible songs.
The movie is a genuine phenomenon and Elsa and Anna have been welcomed into the official
Disney Princess family.
With all of the fuss usually being about Elsa and Let It Go, it can be easy to forget about
how interesting Anna is as a character.
One crazy fact about Anna is that she is the first Disney princess to ever sing a duet
with the villain of the movie.
Admittedly, Anna doesn't know the truth about Hans when they are singing "Love Is
An Open Door" but when she looks back on that duet, it might scare her.
So there's our list of 10 Disney princess couple facts that may shock you!
Did you know all of these facts?

TOP 5 DES PRODUIT HIGH TECH 2016 - Duration: 6:06.
Hi everyone, it's Dylan, I hope you are fine
Today we find ourselves in a new video, I make you my top 5 high-tech objects
Favorites, of 2016 simply, of the year which are my 5 objects that I most appreciated
Even if I did not necessarily, I at least tried them or had positive opinions or an attraction
To this product that I find rather not bad, then already in first position, the iPhone 7
Simply, the iPhone 7 with its 4K, the iPhone 7 with its 2 rear cameras, the iPhone 7 with
His watertightness, between quotation mark, and all the hassle, I will not recite to you the technical characteristics
Of the Iphone 7 because you know it all, but in any case, the iPhone 7 was for me the flagship product of the year
And I put it in number ONE, number 2, quite simply, it may surprise you because
Since I created the channel, I speak a lot of Apple, but recently I got a little bit distracted
with the honor, ok I stop moving, yes the honor 8, I'm a little bit quick I started to follow honor fast done
Since I do not know, a few months since, roughly since the beginning of the year, short and I heard about honor 8
Necessarily, recently there, since it is the last, honor 5x, honor 5c, etc.
And I find that they do rather good job, they are catching up quite a lot of people
Some big brands nevertheless, since good only on honor 5c, you have 13 MP, on
The iPhone 7 you do not have 13, you have only 12, so, the honor 8, with its fingerprint
I find it really excellent, frankly it is one of my favorites, whether I will not spend at home
Honor, I say no more, good 3rd position, obviously, well obviously, we will talk about it
Of Apple, simply the AirPods, the AirPods despite their excessive price despite all this, I made you a video
Not a long time ago, a few days ago, I "love" really, I would really like to have these
AirPods and so I can classify them in the personal ranking, yes obviously
I specify, it is a personal classification since only I give my opinion and I invite you to do the same in comment
Give your opinion, what you think, you what is your ranking, in short the AirPods simply
I love a lot, the bluetooth thing, it's a little futuristic when we see it there
The 2 small branches that surpass, at first, we may seem a bit chelou
The guy in the street is going to say, what's in the ear there, but hey, it's the future and it's like this
In 4th place necessarily, there is the phantom 4 the DJI phantom 4 simply one of my favorites
With the DJI Phantom 3 finally a sequel of favorites at the start, there was the 3 before the 4 which is not badly liked
Novelties, camera and now the DJI Phantomo 4, I saw a lot of youtubeurs use it, I had opinions
Etc, etc and the DJI Phantom 4 is a trick I would really like to have a little expensive I think I know more
Exactly the prices, frankly to be honest I know more prices there I more I do not know if it was in the 400 see a little more ...
I know it's expensive, in short, the DJI Phantom 4 beautiful with in addition a 4K camera that ask for better?
And suddenly, frankly, it is my 4th blow of heart simply, I like a lot, I would like to have it
For x-mas, in a little less 365 days, you could bring me my DJI Phantom 4, stp?
BEEP
In 5th position, I went on mac, windows I have enough ras-le-bol, but the microsoft surface book
Did not hurt, gave a little taste, I do not know if I would return to windows, I don't think
I think not, then maybe for other uses, if I buy one of windows but it's true that the surface book, which is foldable in all directions
things that gets a little tactile, finally that makes a little tablet etc, frankly I love it
Good, after, I'm not so much fan of microsoft, and I do not like the xbox things, I'm more Play
So Sony, but here I say not that it is a product that I will buy but it is true that the surface book of microsoft
Is rather bad, good it was a small video to give you my 5 personal opinions of the favorites

Music Video Director Brendan Canty Part 1: Out of the Darkroom with Ruth Medjber - Duration: 11:31.
Hello and welcome to Out of the Darkroom
on AdoramaTV I'm Ruth Medjber and
joining me on the show today we have
music video director Brendan Canty.
Brendan thank you so much for joining me
today. Thank you for having me.
You're welcome, so maybe can you give us
a little bit of an insight into what it
is you do.
Okay well firstly I'm a video director,
that's my main thing and I work
under the name Feel Good Lost but I also have
a company under that name and we make
videos sometimes and we are kind of involved
in the music industry we have a little
label so we release kind of acts that
make music videos a lot so we know a lot
of acts and we find new acts and
sometimes we like songs enough that we
release them, do videos for them and the stuff and
we also have a management company and I
say we it's me and Barry, Barry O'Donoghue
and we manage an act called Talos.
Wow, so you're managing and then
releasing music and doing the videos as
well. Kind of doing art working and
photography as well all thrown in.
Sure why not!
So would you,
because you're photography's is great,
it's on par with your videography and
would you consider yourself a photographer
turned videographer/director or? No I
definitely consider myself a director
that's turned into a photographer I
think. I wouldn't, even
though I have shot some stuff myself I wouldn't
say I'm a cinematographer.
How did you start out then? I started out
making sketches in like transition year
or like a short film I got involved with in
transition year in school and I just
had such a laugh doing it and the friends I
made from that are still like really good
friends, it was just such a buzz.
So I continued making sketches and
continue wanting that buzz and just
being on set it's just a lot of fun.
So I kept making videos and then through, with
a class in college called experimental
video and we have to as part of that we had
to make an experimental music video
to an instrumental track of our
choice and I picked a track from a band
called Broken Social Scene off their album
Feel Good Lost, it my first-ever music video
I made and it just worked out really well
and then I took that name. Wow. In college I did
multimedia in CIT and so it was
kind of, it was alright. It's defiantly multimedia.
It's definitely multimedia yes, it was very
helpful like I hated web design in the
course and I thought I was at it crap but
when I came out of it i was able to
design my website and stuff like that so.
Everyone needs that you know. Yes,
I have kind of a basic knowledge in
lots of stuff to be able to get away
with. Would you or did
you start off doing a lot of the editing
and things like that yourself? Always, yeah.
Because I mean I'm even thinking
back to the Cert1 video where there is like doodles
and stuff I loved that. Thats old school. It's
great, it's like where there's like
drawing and there animated in the video and
things. Would you've been doing that?
No that would have been taken from like friends
stuff or just stop motion stuff that we
put together. So we have taken like a lot
of photos of graffiti around the city
or like graffiti in books and stuff like
that and just like like frame-by-frame
cutting between them all.
We projected that in the Pav in Cork on
the back wall and have them standing in
front of it and he was kind of silhouetted
or we used his shadow.
Yeah, throwing it back there.
I've done my research. You have, wow. Tell us when,
so obviously you would have made
the leap then from you on your own as
under the name Feel Good Lost into this
massive company right, I mean it's got to
be more than just you these days?
Yeah, well it was me and a guy called Conal
for a while and we did everything
together.
He was kind of like my one-man production
team and we kind of went around and did
stuff together. So Barry came on board
then and built as a business properly and put
structure behind everything. It was like, it was
like a dream. If that didn't happen I don't know
what, we would have to figure out, I would have had to
grown-up you know. Yeah I need a Barry in
my life. Everyone needs a Barry.
He's been amazing and he's
also not just like a business dude he's
like an A&R for Sony and he runs his
own record labels. So someone that you could
trust and you can hand more control too. I don't
think there's anyone else in Ireland who
could have done what he did. So it was kind
of a right person right time sort of thing.
Wow, and then tell me a bit then about,
say when a band comes to you and they're
looking to book a video shoot, I
mean where do you even start? Do you
pick up every band that has a
budget and work with them or? No it's,
there's no, there's no real answer to this it just
changes every single time.
So sometimes I might get sent a track
by the band and I might love it and I want to
do the video and I could, like I'm making
a video at the weekend for my friend and
there's like, the budget is just what she
can afford. Just a few hundred quid you know
but I'm happy to do it because it's
amazing and I believe in her and her
music and stuff like that. It will be good
for me as well but then there's
sometimes you get, I get pitched on a
Zara Larsson video and that was like
150 grand budget then. I know and
that maybe like, ah the song is pretty good
but if the budget was smaller I wouldn't
have done it, you know what I mean. So it's
just the commercial budgets, but the
song was good enough as well like you
know. So you are kind of going with your own
discretion, your own taste. But normally
like I turn down a serious amount of work. It's
probably, I probably frustrate my
production companies a lot, but I'm constantly like
no, no, no. Really?
Yeah I'm very picky. Well it is that just
to maintain a certain kind of quality
level?
Yeah I think so I also think I find it
hard to get inspired if I don't like
the song or something like that as well
and but it's always being, I think being
selective about what you do and what you make is
super important if you want to be a
certain type of director. As in like
every director aspires to do a certain
type of video and I like 100%
believe the only way to get there is by
just trying as hard as you can to do the
work that you just want to do or
else are going to compromise yourself
and directing is all about
reputation.
So you just constantly have to be turning out
good work and work that just is you all
over like, you know what I mean, and
developing or else ad I said you're just
going to be compromised. I mean
you do pick up, like everyone else, you do
pick up the odd ad in commercial
work and that kind of stuff, and I love
doing that. Again I turn down ads as well
like that
I just have no, I just don't get the
idea but there's some ads which like
the ads I've done have been, I've been
super lucky like. I did the budweiser
ad with Conor McGregor and there's just
a lot of fun and it was stressful but it
was brilliant and it was brilliant meeting
him and stuff like that and then I did a
sky sports ad and they were just good ads.
They're just great ads to do and they
obviously pay, you know I
mean. They properly pay you I can
go away and I can do
three Talos videos this year, which is
kind of costs me money
but they allow me to do that you know.
So with the Talos videos or with
your friend at the weekend you
have full creative control to try
out things that you that you want to do,
and then in the ads, not that you can't
do that but you still put your own style
on your ads. I mean particularly the Conor McGregor one.
You can and you've pitched
on it and you've pitch to do it in your way.
Now that does become, that can become
compromised along the way because a lot
there is a lot of people involved in the
process like people from the ad agency, the
clients, you know there's a lot of voices
in there so like with ads it's kind of
like it's a challenge to, it's like a
constant battle to keep your idea on
track or just make sure it comes out
good you know. There is a lot of politics as well.
I enjoy it, it can be very
frustrating but it's kind of
enjoyable, it's totally different.
It's challenging I'm sure but that's why you
probably love it as well. It's a lot of peace keeping and
just playing a game.
Business skills you got it, business skills yeah.
Then ok flip side then you're
working with a band you've got full creative control,
where do you start?
Where's does the ideas and the narratives
and everything from?Cchanges all the
time, it normally, it always starts from
the song and always starts from listening to the song and
seeing what inspires you.
Sometimes bands will give like a brief
or be like, or a label will give a brief
being like we want the video and
sometimes it's quite specific or sometimes
it's what we want but sometimes it's
quite loose. It's normally loose enough like like we
want a narrative, want the artists
featured, we don't want the artist featured.
Whatever we think they might give
reference videos, we like this James
Blake video, we like that or we like this
and normally they've picked you for your work
anyway so you can kind of stick with your
style. Then you just
listen to the track and might sometimes
the best ones comes to you in like a few
minutes. Sometimes it takes days or you
might come up with half an idea and it
takes days to figure it out or whatever,
but it changes every
single time.
So would you, would be a lot of
back-and-forth between you and the band
or the label then in terms of you
providing shotlist, would they have any
kind of creative control into it?
You don't necessarily need to go into that
much detail in music videos. If you did it
would be for yourself, I would think. Now
with every music video when it comes to a
label anyway you need to submit a
treatment but that's normally to win
the job and then you need, that's normally
quite loose though. Well sometimes you can
be more specific in it.
This is your pitch to win it.
When you've got the job then they will
come back with a lot of questions, how are
you going to do this and that, so you
need to give them answers but I
classically don't like storyboarding
it's never been my style, it probably should be
my style more but I'm quite loose stuff
like that. When it comes to commercials
then, you have to storyboard because you have
to walk the clients through what they're
paying for and stuff like that so even
if you are going to do a bit more loose
you kind of have to do that to
calm everyone. You want to set
their mind at ease then. Ok
storyboards for the win for
commercials. Cool and then so if
you're shooting a music video like how
long is the whole process? Even from like
the start till the very end when it
hits YouTube. I'd come up with an
idea that could take me maybe a week to
come through things and then you start planning
the production and you get your crew set,
you pick a date you find a location. That
could take another week so maybe two
weeks and then an extra week to edit,
that's three and then the fourth week
week it goes up on YouTube. I mean that's kind
of how you can do it. I've done it in shorter
times and I've done longer in times normally
with labels they will be like, we need the
music video by this date and there's no
leeway and then you deliver the video to
them and you mightn't hear from them in like
two weeks, and you're like what was all that panic about?
You were their stressing. Because that's
still a really quick turnaround time.
Is that you working full-time for four
weeks on this project?
No I mean pretty much but you'd definitely
be doing other things.
Well I would anyway. You'd have to be, right?
Considering what I do,
yeah all the time. Which is kind of, I
love doing it but sometimes I wonder
does it hold me back a small bit from
just developing as just a director but I
wouldn't trade it for anything.
