This K-Pop Singer Invented A Face Mask That Lets You Drink Water Without Removing It
Posted in: Today's Chili
One of the things that not many people know about face masks is that they need to be removed properly and in a certain way, otherwise you could end up infecting yourself anyway. Also, the way face masks are designed, they don’t allow for you to drink or eat, but thanks to a patent filed by TVXQ’s Yunho in Korea, he has come up with a design that could solve that problem.
For those unfamiliar, Yunho is part of TVXQ, one of the more popular K-Pop groups in the world. In a filing made on the 3rd of March, Yunho submitted a patent for a mask design that comes with a detachable cap on the front where the mouth is, where removing it would allow the user to drink using a straw.
This means that the wearer will not have to take the mask off, which in turn reduces the chances of them doing it wrongly and getting themselves sick. That being said, we’re not sure how advisable it is to remove the cap given that it then exposes the user to outside air and bacteria, but it’s still an intriguing idea nonetheless.
Given the rise in demand for face masks amidst the coronavirus outbreak, this could come in handy for many. According to Yunho, “I wear masks often, and wondered, ‘Is there a way to drink water easily without removing the mask?’. I thought about it with a friend, and ended up filing a patent for the design.”

The idea of getting married virtually, like in video games, isn’t exactly new. There are plenty of video games out there that already support in-game weddings, and we have also seen in the past where couples who meet in video games and end up getting married, sometimes also hold their weddings in the games that they met in.
Now, with the COVID-19 virus spreading around the world, naturally events like weddings where there would be large gatherings will have to be postponed. However, one couple decided not to let the pandemic rain on their parade. Instead, they chose to go ahead with their wedding, except that they decided to hold it inside of Nintendo’s Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
In a post on Reddit by user Ashmush, she wrote, “My fiance planned it out with our best friends, Im graduating from med school and not getting a graduation and our wedding was cancelled. I was feeling pretty down about missing out on my milestones. This made me so happy, I don’t even have the words to describe how much it meant to me.”
While the pandemic is still going on, moments like this certainly make for a nice break, and we wish the newlyweds all the best in their future!
