  6. Kim Young-hee, 47, an aerial acrobat at the Dong Choon Circus Troupe, performs on a trapeze during a performance at its tent theatre in Seoul November 24, 2009. South Korea's last remaining circus troupe, Dong Choon, was established in 1925 and maintained widespread popularity until the early 1970s. Dong Choon performers enjoyed celebrity status but with the introduction of television and popular culture, the circus industry's popularity and success has stagnated. Recent global developments, such as the economic crisis and the H1N1 flu pandemic, have compounded the problem by causing the average attendance to plummet between 20 and 30 spectators from the nearly 600 attendees the troupe enjoyed at its peak. Dong Choon's last show was planned on November 14, 2009 but with limited financial support from the government, the troupe will continue performing amid a bleak future.
