by
Ana Maria Markovic

Ana Maria Markovic, the world’s most beautiful soccer player, opened her mouth after a long time. She confessed her life as a soccer player that her beauty.

Markovic, 22, was recently interviewed by Germany’s 20min. This article was transferred to the British publications such as The Sun.

Born in Switzerland, Markovic started playing soccer when he was 14 years old. He originally started his professional career with FC Zurich. In 2020, he moved to Grashopper.In two seasons, he played 55 games and scored 15 goals.

She was not selected for the Swiss national team, which became a blessing in disguise. Being selected to play for Croatia following her lineage. At last year’s international competition, she became famous as the ‘world’s most beautiful soccer player’ by capturing fans around the world with her ‘beauty’.

She said in an interview that she disliked the expression “the sexiest soccer player in the world.” He wants people to see him as a soccer player rather than judging him by his face.

Markovic has two favorite soccer players. One is Luka Modric and the other is Cristiano Ronaldo. Modric is said to be her idol and role model, and her favorite player is Ronaldo.

In an interview with “20min,” she chose Modric as her idol because he is the same Croatian national team. So naturally, the role model that Markovic wants to resemble is Modric. But his favorite player is Ronaldo.

As for the reason, Markovic said, “My absolute favorite player is Cristiano Ronaldo. Because he trains really hard,” he said.

“I think Ronaldo has given everything he’s got to football and he’s got a good mind like that,” she said.

Forward Markovic made his debut for Croatia last year, when media and fans began to pay attention to her beauty.

She made five international appearances last year and scored her debut goal for Croatia in a match against Moldova in November.

Markovic says this interest is actually good. He confessed that it works positively in many areas. However, he said honestly that there are some inconveniences.

I like the title “Most Beautiful Soccer Player,” she said, “I don’t like the word “Sexiest Player.” This is because only one’s face or body is evaluated, not his soccer skills.

“A lot of runpeople send me letters and I know exactly what I want,” Markovic said. “But they’ve never seen me play soccer and they’re just looking at my appearance. I’m sorry about that,” he said.

She then advised, “I think such fans should learn more about soccer player Markovic.”

Markovic wants to succeed as a soccer player. Although she still plays for the Swiss team, she is a really beautiful star who is so into soccer that she says, “My dream is to sign a women’s soccer team Chelsea.”

Would he have believed that if all the windows of his house disappeared due to the enforcement of the Special Act on Prostitution, prostitution would be eradicated in Korea? In September 2004, the enforcement of the Special Act on Prostitution caused massive crackdowns on house windows nationwide, and most of them are now gone. Famous house windows are being redeveloped in various parts of the country, and luxury apartments and large-scale commercial facilities are being built.

Currently, prostitution is illegal in Korea and there are no windows at home. However, Korea’s prostitution industry is still booming in the dark. As entertainment establishments are closed due to the COVID-19 incident, only illegal prostitution entertainment establishments are enjoying a boom. Due to the special law on prostitution, it is also thriving in the Cozy Country, frequently moving places and operating illegally to avoid crackdowns. It’s invisible, but it’s not far away. Your next door could be a prostitute. The disappearance of house windows may have cleaned the arteries and veins of Korean society, but prostitution continues throughout the capillaries. The center is an 오피사이트 that is scattered invisible and invisible throughout the capillary.

In addition to officetels, studio type villas and small apartment-type villas will also be built in officetels. The picture is not related to the specifics of the article. Photo = Reporter Lim Joon-sun

Reservation for lunch time. 오피사이트

Mr. A, an office worker in his early 30s, goes to his girlfriend’s house after work. When he visited his girlfriend who lives in an officetel near the company and rang the doorbell, his girlfriend, who was waiting with a bright expression, opens the door. Moon. When I enter the house, my girlfriend recommends juice. They drink juice and smoke one or two cigarettes and talk about this and that. I told my girlfriend that I wanted to wash up, so I said it was good. We go to the bathroom, take a shower, and love each other in bed. You have to do it quickly. I have to go home in an hour.’

Mr. B keeps looking at his watch. My boyfriend is coming home soon. When I go on a date, I dress up and meet at home, so I wait in light makeup and a loose dress. The bell rings in time for an appointment. I gave my boyfriend a glass of juice and an ashtray to smoke. I text on my cell phone every day while talking. I couldn’t spend a long time talking to my boyfriend, but it’s enough to send ‘0’. I took a shower with my boyfriend and played with bubbles. That’s how he heads to bed. My boyfriend has to go home in an hour, so I have to hurry.’

It seems like a story of ordinary lovers, but in reality, it happens in the so-called “opbang.” The basic concept of Obang is “a man who got off work goes to his girlfriend’s house.” To this end, the opium room, a place for prostitution, was decorated like the home of an ordinary woman in her 20s. You shouldn’t imagine the colorful makeup and revealing clothes of a prostitute in the past. Wear ordinary and comfortable daily clothes like a woman who sincerely met her boyfriend who came to visit her home and make up as light as possible.

The purpose of a meeting is to have sex with money, but it is not a concept of drinking at home or having sex right away like a window in the past. The basic concept of Obang is to have daily conversations and prostitution in a comfortable atmosphere like a real lover. It’s a traditional prostitution method that adds feelings of love.

Therefore, it is not limited to after work. In areas where offices and officetels are mixed, such as Gangnam, Seoul, opium prostitution is also being carried out during lunchtime. Office workers visit their girlfriend’s house during lunch and visit the opium room as if they were on a date for a while. Rather, there are areas where reservations are the most difficult during lunchtime.

These illegal prostitution began in officetels and became called opium rooms, but now they are much more diverse. In addition to officetels, one-room apartments and small apartments will also be built. As mentioned earlier, all spaces that correspond to “a house where an ordinary woman in her 20s lives alone” become opium rooms. Perhaps if other men continue to walk in and out of the room an hour or two apart, you can see that the neighborhood is an opium room, but they are not there when they have suspicious eyes because they leave after a few months.

Hollywood ‘Lymph Massage’ Fever…600,000 won once, 2,300 people waiting

by

In Los Angeles, the Brazilian massage’s “Lymph Massage” is gaining sensational popularity.

According to the Wall Street Journal on the 25th (local time), Rebekah Faria (29), a Brazilian massage parlor, runs a “Riveca Detox” massage clinic in Los Angeles, the U.S. to provide lymphatic massage.

Lymph massage is a massage that manages lymphatic vessels such as the abdomen, neck, and armpit, and is known to help remove toxins and bloating from the body.

It has been popular in the United States in recent years, and is specialized in high-end U.S. saunas such as “Zovargas.” There is also a compression machine for lymphotherapy.

Faria studied lymphatic massage in Brazil and practiced for about seven years before moving to Los Angeles in 2019.

At first, they visited guest houses such as Beverly Hills and provided free or discounted massage. Most of my income was spent on taxis, and I always had to carry a massage table, a cover, and a bag full of cream.

After seeing this, the owner of a Beverly Hills beauty salon provided Faria with a room to rent, and opened a Libeca Detox store inside a plastic surgery clinic in Beverly Hills. A customer who was influencer mentioned Paris on his account, and many people visited him.

The basic massage order is legs, stomach, arms, and back. Afterwards, after using various machines such as ultrasonic and suction machines, massage the stomach, legs, and face again. It also modifies massage techniques by customizing them.

The cost is 480 dollars (about 600,000 won), and 350 dollars (about 440,000 won) if you receive it from an employee other than Paris.

The Parisian store was visited by celebrities such as singer Ariana Grande, actress Chloe Moretz, broadcaster Kourtney Kardashian, rapper Sean Combs, and actress Nicola Feltz.

In particular, Moretz is known to receive a massage from Faria twice a week when he is about to shoot or is filming. Moretz praised, “I work 12 to 14 hours on the set, but I feel my body recovering in a way that I haven’t felt before.”

Model Olivia Culpo gets a lymphatic massage about twice a month. “Because I fly almost once a week, I try to relieve jet lag and inflammation,” Culpo said. “To me, massage is like pressing the reboot button. I feel lighter,” he said.

Paria opened a new massage parlor on La Siene Street in Beverly Hills last month, and has set up three massage rooms, including a sauna room.

It takes at least 2 hours per reservation. As customers have become busy, two professional employees have recently been hired, and two more are being trained to reduce the waiting list by 2,300 people.

However, the effectiveness of lymphatic massage has not been scientifically proven.

Dr. Mulissa Aldrich, a lymphatic researcher at the UT University of Health Sciences in Houston, Texas, pointed out that except for lymphoma, where lymphatic fluid accumulates in tissues, the claim for edema reduction has not been proven by scientific research.

Summer, the full-fledged holiday season, is approaching. Although it is a recurring summer every year, this summer is perfect for travelers and the travel industry. This is because the sky road, which has been blocked by the pandemic for two years, will be opened quite a lot from this summer. Those who have decided to travel freely at home and abroad are now excited to visit global online travel agency (OTA) sites such as Expedia, Hotels Dotcom, Orbitz, and Tribago. Travelers compare prices on sites and book the lowest-priced flights, hotels, and rental cars. It is now a rite of passage for free travel preparation that has become natural for us.

It was the first generation of OTA and Expedia Group listed on the NASDAQ market that settled this free travel preparation process for travelers. Expedia Group is the world’s largest OTA company with the previous sites and has entered more than 70 countries around the world. Expedia Group also has a platform to book more than 3 million hotels and 500 airlines around the world. It also entered South Korea in 2011 and led the domestic OTA market. “Economy Chosun” held a written interview on May 18 with Catherine So, executive director of the Asia-Pacific region of Expedia Group, which marks the 14th anniversary of its entry into Korea this year. The following is excerpts from the interview with Alperovitch.

The long pandemic is coming to an end. How did you overcome the pandemic?

The pandemic was an opportunity to practice the ever-changing emotions of travel. It quickly responded to the needs of travelers by adapting quickly. Overseas travel was greatly restricted during the pandemic, but instead we focused on domestic travel. As part of these activities, Hotel Dotcom launched a workation campaign in December last year that combines work and vacation. As such, we tried to make ‘travel’ a priority for consumers during the pandemic. This is also a factor that allowed the travel industry to win and win each other.”

Korea and other Asian countries are gradually easing quarantine. The opportunity is coming.

Confidence in travel demand is growing in the travel industry. We see the possibility that future travel demand can grow. According to a recent global travel trend survey conducted by Expedia Group, many travelers in the Asia-Pacific region are willing to go on a “big trip” on their next trip. Seventy-nine percent of South Korean travelers agreed. According to hotel dotcom data, overseas travel searches among Korean travelers in May this year increased by 455% compared to last year. The top five most searched travel destinations were the United States, France, Thailand, Guam, and Vietnam.

In addition, we paid attention to the phenomenon of ‘social exchange drought’. In a survey conducted in December last year, 71 percent of the respondents said that “social exchanges have decreased significantly compared to before the pandemic,” and 40 percent of the respondents said they were “willing to travel to make new friends.” In fact, hotels in the form of providing public spaces for social exchanges are gaining popularity. Among the various accommodations in Korea, the guest house seems to be a suitable place to make new friends.”

It has been 14 years since Expedia landed in Korea. What is the characteristic of the Korean market?

I am very happy that this year marks the 14th anniversary of Hotel Dotcom’s landing in Korea. Korea is a really unique market that has grown with us. Korean tourists are always looking for something fun, interesting, and different. According to a survey on Expedia’s global travel trends in September last year, Korean travelers cited “experience new things and places” as the top priority (42%) when asked about their most anticipated travel experiences. In the same question, only 34% of travelers from Japan, a neighboring country in the Asia-Pacific region, responded like this. It was also followed by “Trying new dishes or visiting restaurants (38% of Koreans, 29% of Japanese), “Trying things you never do (21% of Koreans, 19% of Japanese),” and “Exchanging with people with different cultures or backgrounds” (19% of Koreans and 12% of Japanese).

In addition, we found that Korean travelers have a sophisticated eye. Korean travelers prefer luxury and luxury hotels the most. According to an in-group survey, Korean travelers are lavish in spending at luxury accommodations such as hotels with spa or hot spring facilities or five-star hotels. This was also confirmed in the results of Hotel Dotcom’s search for “five-star hotels” filters in May this year, up 93% from the previous month.”

What is the possibility of Korean market growth after the pandemic?

Koreans are always passionate about traveling. We expect the Korean market to grow further after the pandemic. The demand for travel, especially overseas travel, will grow due to the pent-up travel desire. According to a recent global travel trend survey conducted by us, 61 percent of Korean respondents said they reduced the number of trips by at least 50 percent, and 27 percent said they had never traveled since the country since the pandemic. Seventy-nine percent of Korean respondents said their next trip will be “big,” predicting that the wave of retaliatory travel will fluctuate. On the other hand, about 59 percent of Japanese travelers answered the same question. In addition, 30% of Korean respondents said they wanted to go on a long-term trip to experience and enjoy the travel destination as much as possible. Only 21% of the respondents expressed similar intentions.”

What is the travel trend in the post-COVID-19 era?

First of all, as travel restrictions are gradually eased, we are looking at the overseas travel sector positively. However, as the data on post-COVID-19 overseas travel is not yet sufficient, four trends have been prominent from the perspective of domestic travel. It’s a wellness trip and a work trip. And luxury travel is also noteworthy. We believe that travelers’ pent-up desire to travel will be expressed as a phenomenon of willingness to pay more. According to the actual internal data, demand for 4-5 star hotels increased by 5% in the first quarter of this year compared to the first quarter of last year. Impromptu travel is also a major trend. It was found that consumers go on short-term and voluntary trips more often in the past year or two than before the pandemic. One of the most popular services the travel industry could offer at this time was ‘cancellation of free accommodation.'”

Recently, there have been many promising OTA’s in each country. Is there a strategy to survive the competition?

“Expedia Group has one of the world’s largest royalty platforms, which I think will be competitive. It will introduce a new integrated loyalty program called One Key, which combines four different loyalty programs under our company (Expedia Reward, Hotel’s Dotcom Reward, Orbitz Reward, and eBookers Bonus). In addition, we announced ‘Expedia Group ™ Open World’ in early May in time for the post-COVID-19 period. It is a new technology platform designed specifically to enable all partners to configure the products and services needed to succeed in the travel ecosystem. It provides an e-commerce suite that includes components such as payments, conversations, and services. This allows anyone to enter the travel business. For example, if an airline wants to implement a service that provides rental cars to travelers, it can implement related services through Expedia Group’s Open World platform.”
