The confusing notes im talking about, the first ones you can see, are above some of the first lyrics(lyrics are korean symbols) and again another reminder, there's an X on the note with a line on top.
A. That looks like the kind of notes used in music written for percussion instruments. In those instruments, pitch is not usually an issue, so they replace the noteheads with an X. It's a strange use, though, because even percussion instruments are written into a staff to indicate which percussion instrument is used(like the difference between cymbal and a snare drum). In this case, I agree with Kay and jones. It must be to indicate the rhythm for speaking the words. Also, from looking at your sheet music, it seems to be used to indicate, specifically, how the Korean(?) words are spoken. I haven't looked the entire thing over though.
They are not double sharps, because how could they be? That would need a notehead for them to be attached to, in order to get sharpened.
EDIT:
After looking at the sheet music closer, I noticed the notes don't always stay in the same place. I don't really know how pitches relate to percussion instruments, but higher percussion instruments seeeem to be at the top and lower at the bottom. Also certain symbols are used for these percussion instruments, and this one looks like some of the cymbals. Here's a link to a picture showing what I mean:

I wonder if you could use piano notes as percussion, that is if you never change their pitch. I'm just saying because I don't really know this music or Korean so I can only just say to think about it. Maybe it does have to do with the words, I dunno. I guess you should just make it sound right.

I have a lot of questions about piano...?
Q. I think i am going to get a piano but i want to know a little bit so i am going to jump in and ask.
1. How hard is it to play?
2. How long does it take to learn it?
3. Can I self teach or do i NEED a teacher?
4. How hard is it to read the sheet?
I am 100% new to pianos so any bit of info will help, it will be my first instrument...any links or anything would be appreciated. Thank you :)
A. 1. The piano is the -easiest- instrument to play because you just 'push buttons'. As opposed to having to learn bowing technique or fingering or embouchure or getting a good tone. OTOH because it's easier to play, much more is asked of the piano.
2. Three months or the rest of your life. 8^) It depends on what kind of music you want to play.
3. Almost all musicians play the keyboard as a 'second instrument'. Its like the English language. When a Korean merchant buys material from a Bolivian supplier, they talk to each other in English because it's everyone's 'second language'. Keyboard (not necessarily -piano-) is everyone's second instrument. When a base guitarist goes says 'This is what the flute should play,' he plays it on a keyboard.
This is all self-taught, but it helps immensely to already have some musical background, to be able to play one instrument already. If someone asks me 'Do you know this song? How does it go?' I can sit down at a piano and play the melody with the right hand, chords with the left hand, just by ear, and make it sound recognizeable.
But I'm not really a piano player. To really play piano, to learn the piano style and technique, a teacher would be helpful.
4. I find it hard. I learned on instruments that only played one note at a time, and to read chords and two hands simultaneously would be a whole higher level of skill.
