Jeong Nam-jin, a 31-year-old bachelor living in Doksan-dong, western Seoul, has been rocking Nike Air Force 1 mid-tops for the past three years. He's a maniac for the classic kicks, but the real reason he sports the off-white shoes is because there are few other choices that allow him to sneak in an extra few inches in height.

"I've been trying so many different dress shoes and sneakers, but this is the best pair I can insert a layer of height-increasing insoles into", said Jeong, who is 162 centimeters (5 feet, 3 inches) tall - 12 centimeters shorter than the average Korean man.

"If you pick the wrong pair of shoes like low-tops, it's hard to insert the height increasers. You can still insert them, but it's impossible to walk around", added Jeong, who's been using a variety of padding for over eight years.

B1A4 is seeing much success already on the music charts with their song “Baby Good Night“.

The special edition of their first album ‘Ignition‘ was released on May 24th and their title track “Baby Good Night” ranked first on MelOn with release.

They continued the streak as “Baby Good Night” was seen ranked first for two days on MelOn’s real time charts, as well as ranking in the top of other music sites like Soribada, Cyworld, and more as well.

Newsen met with the B1A4 members recently in the waiting room of a music show and asked them how they felt. They responded, “When we saw us ranked first, it was so amazing.” The boys also told Newsen that they will continue to work hard.

“Baby Good Night” is a song that is about a boyfriend who cheats on his girlfriend after she goes to sleep. Leader of B1A4, Jinyoung, composed the song while he and Baro wrote the song. When asked if the lyrics are based off of his own experience, Jinyoung laughed as he replied, “There really isn’t anyone among our members who is like that.”

The fabric of my nighttime twin is made of desire, of music, from the ash of the books that mattered most. That fabric is stressed and frayed when I am in-between books, when a suitable suitor isn’t lined up for immediate consumption after finishing a satisfying book, I’ll rip through back issues of the New Yorker and pull out all of the amazing but just-not-right-now books I’ve hoarded for years. I’ll visit the Strand and hunt online and never ask for recommendations as this is my problem, not yours. It’s as personally crushing as an engagement deferred. Often I’ll fortify myself with four or five pending titles so that when I finish a book there are ample choices, always a healthy mixture of fiction and nonfiction, representing different cultures and time periods (I favor all things Japanese, the later Roman Empire, and Twentieth Century author biographies and in keeping with my tradition of reading one author biography a year and breaking my own rules, I’ve read five so far this year and can strongly recommend Marijane Meaker’s memoir of her relationship with Patricia Highsmith). --Tom Cardamone
