What’s your favorite song between the album and your new single?
My favorite track would have to be “Talk.” I liked it the first five seconds I heard it. This song is so right now. I think everybody would relate to it. It’s very vulnerable. Blunt yet vulnerable. The lyrics, the sound, the tracks, the melody, it all came together so perfectly.
What do you want people to think when they hear you’re coming out with a new album?
I want to be an artist to look forward to. I hope that they’ll want to hear or be curious about what my next story is. I pursued music because I listened to someone else’s song and said, “Omigod, that’s my story! That’s how I feel.” And I hope that I can be that type of artist as well, where I will put out something very honest or raw and someone else will be able to feel through that. Whether that’s something sad or something happy.
You mentioned that you have hopes to move into the American market. Do you think that’ll be something we see soon?
Hopefully in the near future. My label is very spontaneous and supportive all at the same time. Because it’s the first album, I do want to take my time to decide what my next move is going to be. I still want to kind of live out the summer and then see what I wanna do next. But I’m always working on something. I never can kind of just let go.
Right now, I’m planning on writing again. I was writing before the album release, so there are a couple tracks already. But I’m glad that my company is okay with me kind of wanting to wait things out. I always want to put out an album when I know what it’s going to be about. I don’t want to throw in all these random songs and say, “Okay, that’s an album.” I think I’m just waiting to find the next theme for it.
And we’re going to see you KCON LA in July, right? Will you perform any of your new solo releases?
With Taeyeon and Seohyun, yes! As of now, we’re going as the subunit [TTS] but when it comes to going live we are very spontaneous. Hopefully we won’t get kicked off the stage. But we are in LA and I’m going to be super hyped up because I’m in my hometown. Hopefully we’ll get to share something special. Stay tuned!
The trailer of Christopher Robbin makes you long for your childhood, when you lived those lovely stories and loved these characters. Marc Forster directs the film from a screenplay by Alex Ross Perry and Allison Schroeder.
Christopher Robin will release on August 3, 2018.
Disney has released the trailer for Christopher Robin, the live-action adaptation of the much-loved stories by English author A A Milne and Disney’s own franchise. Ewan McGregor leads the cast as the titular Christopher Robin, the boy featured in Milne’s stories. In the film, Christopher grows up and forgets about the talking stuffed animals he had as friends as imaginations of a fanciful child.
The trailer begins with Winnie-the-Pooh wondering what will happen if Christopher Robin forgets him, to which Christopher replies, “Silly old bear. I won’t forget about you, Pooh. I promise.” He does exactly that, however, when he grows up. One day, he encounters Pooh again and remembers all the adventures he had with him and other animal characters like Eeyore, Tigger, Piglet, Owl, Rabbit, and Kanga. Pooh asks Christopher for his help as he has lost all of his friends.

Top climate change scientists from 39 countries say they are 95% certain that global warming is manmade, according to a new report from the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The report, released every six years and reviewed by over 1,000 experts, also warns that the upper limit on greenhouse gases will be exceeded within decades if emissions continue at the current rate.
Climate change is a leading global concern among the public, too, according to a recent Pew Research Center survey of people in 39 countries earlier this year. A median of 54% identify it as a major threat, the highest among eight threats tested this spring. Only financial instability conjures a similar level of concern.
At least half the public in 24 of the 39 countries say climate change is a major threat to their nation. People in Greece (87%), South Korea (85%), Brazil (76%), Lebanon (74%) and Japan (72%) express the highest levels of concern.
However, China and the U.S., the world’s largest greenhouse gas emitters, are among the least worried about climate change. About four-in-ten Americans (40%) and Chinese (39%) say it is a major threat to their countries. Only those in the Czech Republic, Jordan, Israel, Egypt and Pakistan are less concerned than the Chinese and Americans.
There is a sharp partisan divide on this issue among Americans, with Democrats (55%) more than twice as likely as Republicans (22%) to view climate change as a major threat.
Another Pew Research survey in March also found large partisan divisions on views toward global warming. While 87% of Democrats believe there is solid evidence of global warming, just 44% of Republicans agree. Similarly, Republicans express more doubt about humans’ role in climate change; 19% say global warming is a result of human activity compared with 57% of Democrats.

On Monday, it was reported that Paris' historic Notre-Dame Cathedral had been engulfed by a horrendous fire.
According to a spokesperson for the cathedral, the blaze was first reported at 5:50 p.m. local time. Once the fire was confirmed, the popular tourist attraction swiftly evacuated visitors before emergency officials attempted to subdue the flames. The fire is said to have started in the attic of the nearly 850-year-old church before spreading to encompass a bigger section of the roof with reports confirming that at least one of the church's spines fell and the roof collapsed.
Due to the building's notoriety, the fire has taken an emotional toll on the city. French President Emmanuel Macron has reportedly cleared his schedule to attend to the fire. Various eyewitnesses described the scene. Along with French politicians, the First Family as well as Vice President Mike Pence reacted to the terrible incident.
First Lady Melania Trump: "My heart breaks for the people of Paris after seeing the fire at Notre Dame Cathedral. Praying for everyone’s safety."
VP Pence on Notre Dame fire: "Notre Dame is an iconic symbol of faith to people all over the world – and it is heartbreaking to see a house of God in flames. Our thoughts and prayers are with the firefighters on the scene and all the people of Paris."
"A lot of people are crying," Carolyn Marguiles disclosed to NBC News, before witnessing the building's roof give way. "Oh my God, it just fully collapsed!"

Johannesburg - Messages of condolences have poured in on social media for Jackson Mthembu and his family after the ANC senior party member posted a tweet revealing that his daughter has committed suicide on Tuesday night.
"My eldest daughter, Khwezi Mthembu , last night committed suicide at our Pelican parliamentary village home in #Capetown. We are in deep pain. We don't know what led her to take her own life at such a tender age of 25 years," the ANC Chief Whip tweeted.
Thousands of messages have been posted in reply to Mthembu's heartbreaking tweet on Wednesday morning.
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult and painful time. May she rest in piece.
Condolences to you and your family Sir.

ONE of the county's markets will soon be under new management.
The transfer of the markets charter -and all responsibility for the weekly gathering to the town -will take place once legal work has been completed.
The district council has been in control of the market since the council reorganisation in 1974, but in recent years, the number of traders has declined despite extensive promotions.
Trading conditions also meant the withdrawal of the monthly farmers' markets last year after only eight months.
Hambleton councillor Ralph Andrew said: "Bedale market is not very profitable and has for some time been subsidised by our other two markets in Northallerton and Thirsk.
"By transferring our rights to hold it to the town council, the town can benefit from a small income, and we hope that more direct service delivery might result in more traders being attracted."
Dale Earnhardt Jr., who slipped into second behind winner Kyle Busch after a wild finish, had a somewhat different view of the venue that hosted its 24 th Cup event.
“I think it’s great,” Earnhardt said after the race. “Do everybody a favor, whoever owns this track (International Speedway Corp.) and pave the back straightaway. If you pave – there’s some real bad bumps, we all saw on it on TV. It probably doesn’t cost much to pave the two lanes that we race in and that would really cure any complaints that I got.
Zucker said the track problems may be “problematic,” but it will be up to the NASCAR competition department to determine whether changes will be made.
By virtue of his runner up finish, Earnhardt moved into the Cup points lead, 12 ahead of Brad Keselowski. Earnhardt has five top10 finish on the season, one more than Keselowski, who finished a season-low 23 rd.
There was no military flyover at the track, the first time in several years, but the U.S. Marines were represented, thanks to the Armed Forces Foundation and NASCAR.
A dozen Marines from Camp Pendleton attended the race through an initiative called “Troops to the Track,” which involves active duty, wounded service members, veterans and military families. They were recognized at the pre-race meeting, given a tour of the Cup garage, a meet-and-greet with Aric Almirola and pit road access during driver introductions and the National Anthem.
“Troops to the Track is an opportunity for all of us at NASCAR to express our appreciation for those who serve or have served our country in the US Armed Forces,” Marcus Jadotte, NASCAR vice president of public affairs and multicultural affairs.
The late Mickey Thompson, who popularized stadium off-road racing among his many accomplishments in life, was named winner of the Shav Glick Award presented by the Justice Brothers before the start of the race.
The award, named for the longtime L.A. Times motorsports Hall of Fame writer who passed away in 2007, recognizes a personality who made valuable or distinguished contributions in California.
The 2013 nominees included George Follower, Tom McEwen and Chris Pook and Mickey Thompson. Ed Justice, Jr., president and CEO of Justice Brothers, made the presentation to Colleen Campbell, Thompson’s sister, during pre-race ceremonies.
The panel awards include Bill Center; Jim Short; Mike Harris; John Zimmerman and Doug Stokes.
BOGOTA, March 22 (Reuters) - Colombia’s central bank held its key interest rate steady on Friday, a decision that may extend through year-end as policymakers see an “especially quiet” 2019 with inflation hovering just above the long-term goal amid moderate economic growth.
The unanimous decision met the expectations of a majority of analysts in a Reuters survey last week.
The bank was expected to begin increasing borrowing costs during the second half of the year, taking the rate to 4.75 percent by the end of 2019, but central bank governor Juan Jose Echavarria indicated the next increase could be held off until next year.
That would match analyst expectations and be in line with the U.S. Federal Reserve.
The central bank has kept the rate at its current level since last April, when it made its final cut of 25 basis points.
“For now and in the coming months, it’s most likely that the bank will maintain the interest rate stable given the economy is recovering at a modest rhythm and inflation is very controlled and without significant risks,” said Camilo Perez, head economist at Banco de Bogota.
So far this year the international price of oil has increased but remained below the average in 2018, the bank said, adding that the country risk premium had fallen and the peso appreciated against the dollar.
While the government sees economic growth this year at 3.6 percent, the central bank and International Monetary Fund see 2019 expansion slightly lower, at 3.5 percent, with the nation’s recovery gaining momentum despite slowing worldwide expansion.
“The outlook for global growth continues to be moderate. The Federal Reserve kept its reference interest rate unchanged and no changes are expected in this rate for the remainder of 2019,” the board’s statement said.
Colombia’s annual inflation last month was 3.01 percent, just above the bank’s long-term inflation target of 3 percent.
(The Island (Indonesia)/ANN): Indonesia’s Vice Foreign Minister AM Fachir says he would not rule out investments from businessmen of his country in the Colombo Financial City, being built with Chinese assistance.
“Investors make informed decisions and would not hesitate to tap the potential that Sri Lanka had on offer he added when told that China had extended an invitation to Indian entrepreneurs too to participate in the Sirisena-Wickremesinghe government’s “Vision 2025” Program.
Fachir revealed that Indonesia would seek foreign expertise to develop its own growing number of ports.
Asked if he had any specific country in mind, he said that they would accept assistance from any nation that had the knowhow.
The Vice Minister agreed that China had expertise in port development, but said that as companies from many countries were involved in Indonesia’s infrastructure development, all choices would be explored.
Responding to a question , he stressed that the Non Aligned Movement (NAM) was relevant in the current global context despite the super powers shuffling their alliances and new friendships being forged.
“NAM is the mandate of our founding fathers for independence and a world order based on freedom, development and global peace,” Fachir said.
He pointed out that both Indonesia and Sri Lanka were members of NAM which was a political movement that could correct imbalance and injustices.
Capacity building and solidarity was important, the Vice Minister emphasized.
Outlining Indonesia’s four priorities in diplomacy, he explained that they were border diplomacy , economic diplomacy, protecting its natural resources and contributing to the well being of the global community.
Founded in 1961 in Yugoslavia, NAM comprises 120 members and 17 countries with observer status.
SINGAPORE - Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam noted that the centre was now the biggest private sector tenant in Biopolis. It is also one of Singapore's largest R&D centres.
It gives me great pleasure to join you this morning at the opening of P&G's Singapore Innovation Centre (or "S-G-I-C") in Biopolis. 2. For 177 years, P&G's brands have touched and improved consumers' lives. But P&G brands are in fact backed by deep science.
And this is what the SgIC stands for. It is P&G's lead R&D centre in Asia, supported by world-class scientific talent in more than 30 disciplines1, including our very own Singaporean scientists.
Like P&G, Singapore is also deeply committed to R&D. It has to be a key part of our ecosystem, the way companies create new business opportunities, manage costs, and the way we create good jobs for Singaporeans.
We have made progress. We have doubled the number of research scientists and engineers in Singapore over the last 10 years to about 30,000 in 2012. 70 per cent of these scientists and engineers are locals. 1,400 new R&D jobs have been created in the Consumer Businesses industry alone.
Companies have found value placing strategic R&D investments in Singapore, because of the strength of our public-private partnerships.
This is best represented by Biopolis, and its cadre of 2,500 public and private sector researchers. SgIC is now one of Singapore's largest R&D centres, and the largest private sector tenant in Biopolis.
The P&G-A*STAR Master Research Collaboration Agreement ("MRCA") represents public-private partnership at the most strategic level. First signed in 2010, the partnership was renewed in 2013 for another five years to 2018.
The agreement now includes joint funding of up to S$60 million, and covers partnerships with Singapore's larger research community, such as our universities and public hospitals.
