In South Korea, an 18 year old has committed suicide in the city of Daejeon - just hours before he was due to take a university entrance exam. Teen suicide rates have risen by more than a third in the last decade - and the intense pressure to succeed academically is often the cause. Al Jazeera's Harry Fawcett reports from Seoul.

I heard he went to Art High School, but he could barely graduate because of his financial problem. I bet he couldn't get private lessons or support for his vocal training.. I admire him even more!!!!!!!!!! I seriously cried when he started singing.. just wanna give him a Huge Hug!! Bring it on Sung-bong!!! :) ** "Manual Worker": People laugh when Sung-bong said "manual worker" because the way he said was kinda slang.. (I couldn't find the right slang in English for that word) People were not laughing at him being a manual worker, but because of his word choice. I hope there's no misunderstanding here :) Here's one way you can support Sung-bong!! :) www.facebook.com

When grocery chain Tesco wanted to expand their market share in South Korea, they came up with a brilliant idea. Because the people in South Korea work long hours they thought of an efficient way to sell their products. The Korean subsidiary Home Plus put up billboards in subway stations with their range of products, accompanied by QR, or Quick Response codes. All people had to do now is scan the QR codes with their cell phone and the groceries were delivered to their doorsteps.

The number of defectors entering South Korea from the North continues to grow, but escape from the regime is only the start of their battle for a better life. Can they adjust to life in the modern peninsula? A school has been set up to help the defectors adjust to their new life despite opposition from local residents who saw "communists as having horns or being scary", or indeed being "criminals". As the principal of the school says "everything is a challenge", from physical ailments caused by famine to having to "unlearn" a lifetime's worth of indoctrination. Many fled because the famine proved too much to bear. Around 80% have seen close relatives starve. The school does what it can to help these people adjust but the "culture shock" as the school's Director describes it, is "vast". We can only hope that having survived the famine, they can now survive their free and competitive new home. Produced By SBS Distributed By Journeyman Pictures

And the good news is that it's also starting to grow in developing countries." Mobile broadband subscriptions reached eight hundred seventy-two million by the end of last year.

2000 homes are currently hooked up to a pilot project on the island of Jeju, South Korea, testing a new type of electricity supply system, called a smart grid. Lim Kee-Chu, whose home is hooked up to the system, has had $20000 worth of solar power technology installed. The South Korean plan calls for at least three city grids to go 'smart' by 2013, and for 10 per cent of energy to come from renewable sources by 2020. Al Jazeera's Harry Fawcett reports from the South Korean island.
