A gay couple in South Korea have announced that they are planning a wedding for 100,000 people to raise money for an LGBT center in Seoul.

Sunghwan Kim and Gwang-soo Kim Jho are planning a wedding outside city hall in central Seoul on 7 September.

'In Korea we do not have a donation culture,' Kim told Gay Star News. 'People don't usually give money to charities - but they do at weddings. At a marriage ceremony a lot of people give money to the couple.'

While America’s Next Top Model kicks off its 19th season on Friday (26 August) with an all-new set of judges, the third series of the show in Korea has got everybody talking because it features the country's first transgender contestant.

Choi Han-bit, 26, is a South Korean actress and model who studied traditional dance at the Korean National Academy of Arts in Seoul.

In 2006, with the support of her parents, she received male-to-female gender-reassignment and changed her name and is now legally recognized as female in South Korea.

American divers have failed to win any Olympic medals in the last two Summer Games and won just one in 2000.

So who better to motivate them than the man who has won more diving medals in US history: Greg Louganis.

Louganis, winner of two golds as the 1984 Games in Los Angeles, two gold at the 1988 Games in Seoul, and a silver at the 1976 Games in Montreal when he was still in high school, was brought in by US Diving in 2010 as an athlete mentor to the Olympic hopefuls.

Following protests from Christians in South Korea against last month's Lady Gaga concert in Seoul, Muslims in Indonesia are warning her against performing in Jakarta.

Lady Gaga has arrived in Seoul, South Korea ahead of her concert on Friday (27 April). Around 300 Christians gave her the cold shoulder by praying that her concert will be cancelled.

'We will pray to God that the concert will not be realized so that homosexuality and pornography will not spread around the world,' Kang Ju-Hyun, head of the Alliance for Sound Culture in Sexuality, told AFP.

Lady Gaga begins her world tour in Seoul on 27 April, but none of her under-18-year-old fans will be there following a u-turn from the Korea Media Rating Board.

The concert was originally was open for anyone over 12, but following a review, the government agency announced that no under-18 year olds will be allowed in the stadium. Now the 12 to 17 year olds who have bought tickets will have them refunded.
