Total @ssholes, The Borgnines and Swingz, all in the same place.

Sat 10:00pm

Be a paragon of efficiency - celebrate Children's Day and Cinco de Mayo AT THE SAME TIME. How? With some well-earned playtime in Hongdae, Corona in hand, shakin' yer botina to three high energy bands IN THE SAME GREAT CLUB - DGBD. I know - it all seems mathematically impossible.

Swingz - all-female Korean power pop trio with energy galore. These chicks rock.

The Borgnines - alt rock powerstation with a backwoods skeleton waving from the closet.

Total @ssholes - seven piece guilty pleasure jukebox cranked up to eleven. 

The music starts at ten. Saturday, 5th day, 5th month, so admission is just a 5-spot. DGBD is between Castle Praha and the funky SangSangMadang building, an easy stroll from Hapjeong exit 3.

Social Underground is back at Exit for another round of monthly electronic shenanigans. Lewis Anthony and Raico will be at the controls all night long to provide a soundtrack that will not only move your body, but your mind and soul.

Exit once again provides the perfect setting. There's no luxurious VIP area, no outrageous drink prices, no dress code, and certainly no cover. This is a party about the music and the music only.

“Elijah” marksthe tenth production in CMC’s regular concert series.

이번 ‘엘리야’ 공연은 CMC의 10번재 정기공연이다.

 

The story of Elijah is told in the books of 1 Kings and 2 Kings in the Old Testament. Israel has turned from God, and a continuing drought threatens the nation. God sends the prophet Elijah to turn the hearts of the people back toward God and restore the land. The drama of the story, plus Mendelssohn’s beautiful music has earned “Elijah” a place as one of the most popular oratorios ever composed.

오라토리오 ‘엘리야’는 구약성경의 열왕기상과 열왕기하에 등장하는 선지자 엘리야의 이야기이다. 이스라엘이 하나님을 떠난 뒤 계속되는 가뭄으로 나라 전체가 고통받을 때, 하나님은 그들의 마음을 하나님께로 돌리고 이스라엘을 회복시키기 위해 선지자 엘리야를 보낸다. 이야기의 극적인 구성에 멘델스존의 아름다운 음악이 더해진 ‘엘리야’는 많은 오라토리오 중에서도 특히 사랑받고 있다.

 Latest Developments in Korean Employment Law

: Outsourcing and Wage Calculations

 Date          Thursday, 31st May

Time          8:00am ~ 9:00am (7:45 Registration)

 Venue       Paris Grill, Grand Hyatt Hotel

 

 

Recent Supreme Court decisions in the first quarter of 2012 have lent clarity to important concepts of employment law. In particular, Hyundai Motor lost its case in the Supreme Court defending its use of outsourced suppliers, resulting in a massive unexpected liability to employ as its own employees the workers of the outsourced supplier. The Moderators will discuss these latest decisions and explain the business impact from the CEO's top-level perspective. Topics will include:

 

* How to avoid the critical risk of outsourced functions of your business creating employment liability to the outsourced workers

* Understanding how to apply the concepts of "ordinary wage" and "average wage" and the compensation obligations therefrom

* Plan for amendments of company Work Rules to avoid unintended consequences of bonus payments
