The lead vocalist of K-Pop group 100% Seo Minwoo was found dead at his home on March 25. A statement from his management, TOP Media, said the artist is thought to have died from cardiac arrest.
TOP Media released a statement saying 'Our artist 100% Minwoo left our side on March 25. He was found without a pulse at his home in Gangnam. 911 first responders arrived but he was declared dead.'
'As the oldest member of his team, Minwoo lead his members and truly loved fans as he was warm-hearted. Because everyone who knows Minwoo is aware of his kindheartedness and faithfulness, the sadness is even greater.'
TOP Media said the funeral will be a quiet, private affair. ‘His funeral will be carried out quietly in respect to his family’s wishes. We express our deepest condolences for his final path.’

Tank warfare
Lt Gen Erik Petersen, deputy chief of programs, US Army, has argued it took a “three decade holiday” on modernising tanks.
“There clearly remains a significant armoured heavy ground manoeuvre threat in this world and maintaining a world class armoured force is absolutely vital,” the general said in London last week.
“We are developing next generation capabilities to compete with and deter adversaries to prevent opportunism or miscalculation, and, if necessary, defeat any foe decisively.”

Cultural fiesta
What: The Al Burda Festival
When: November 14 (from 10am)
Where: Warehouse421, Abu Dhabi
The Al Burda Festival is a celebration of Islamic art and culture, featuring talks, performances and exhibitions. Organised by the Ministry of Culture and Knowledge Development, this one-day event opens with a session on the future of Islamic art. With this in mind, it is followed by a number of workshops and “masterclass” sessions in everything from calligraphy and typography to geometry and the origins of Islamic design. There will also be discussions on subjects including ‘Who is the Audience for Islamic Art?’ and ‘New Markets for Islamic Design.’ A live performance from Kuwaiti guitarist Yousif Yaseen should be one of the highlights of the day.
