North Korea Fires Missile, Japan Orders “Take Cover”

by

North Korea has been the subject of much debate and frustration for years on end. Kim Jong-Un frequently sees fit to threaten anyone who would dare stand against him. This has led to high tensions between not only North Korea and Japan but also North Korea and Japan. Over the last few years, Kim Jong-Un has made many mentions of nuclear weapons. Obviously, this has caused distress among many in neighboring countries. The dictator claimed late last year that North Korea would become the world’s “most powerful strategic force.” While that is unlikely, Kim has shown many signs of instability and a very short temper. Today, there was yet another reminder of this as North Korea fired a missile near Japan.

At approximately 7:23 AM, the country fired an intermediate-range ballistic missile from somewhere near Pyongyang. This comes just after Kim Jong-Un made comments about strengthening North Korea’s war deterrence. He told military leaders that they must act in a more “practical and offensive” way. The firing of the missile led to chaos. The Japanese government sent out an order for residents of Hokkaido to take cover. Luckily, the missile did not land in Japanese territory. However, the South Korean military is now on high alert. They are working closely with the United States to continue to monitor the situation.

North Korea’s History Of Threatening Behavior

North Korea has made many moves in recent years that could be considered threatening. Today’s missile launch is not the first of its kind, and it certainly won’t be the last given Kim’s history. In addition to threatening behavior, North Korea has also made extremely straightforward threats. Recently, the country enacted a new law. It states that nuclear weapons will immediately be launched in the event of an attack on their leader, Kim.

While the US has been mainly focused on denuclearization, Kim has stated clearly that he has no intention of complying. Addressing the country via the state media, Kim said, “(We will) never give up nuclear weapons and there is absolutely no denuclearization, and no negotiation and no bargaining chip to trade in the process.” With statements like these, it looks like a conflict may be inevitable. What do you think of the situation? Is there a way to avoid conflict? Let us know in the comments.

Pharrell Celebrates 50th Birthday In Japan

by

Pharrell recently celebrated his 50th birthday (April 5) in Japan, taking the time to enjoy his five decades of excellence overseas. Moreover, videos and pictures recently surfaced on social media of the Neptunes producer having fun around the country. For example, he blew out all the candles on his massive birthday cake with his hands in a video shared by No Jumper and a few other publications. In other clips, you can see Williams and his entourage going around the city on a boat, living lavishly as they take in the sights. For someone of the 50-year-old’s acumen and reputation, it’s a surprise that he didn’t throw the biggest party in the world.

Still, Pusha T did join him for the trip, so there’s at least a little bit of celebrity power added to the birthday, prompting those on social media to gush over their moves. Furthermore, Push was one of many famous friends who paid tribute to Skateboard P on his special day. “Happy. C. Day,” Snoop Dogg wrote on Instagram. “@pharrell thankful to have u as a producer friend and brother welcome to the 5th floor.” Also, Busta Rhymes shared a lengthy message congratulating the musical mogul.

More Life Beloved.” What’s more is that fans are still in shock at how good he looks at 50, for which he has some secrets.

“I exfoliate like a madman,” P told Dazed during a 2017 interview. “When you exfoliate and you drink a lot of water, that does good for you. To me, the key is just exfoliating, like a monster. There’s a lot of dead skin. All the time. Like a narcissistic madman.” Regardless of his skincare routine, check out more from his trip down below and return to HNHH for more Pharrell news.
