Still obsessed with my video game, but here are a few items that managed to catch my attention.
- The Park Geun-hye saga: “While in detention, Park Geun-hye enjoying unfair special treatment,” and “New wallpaper for Park’s jail cell.”
- Lifting the Sewol Ferry: “Search for missing Sewol passengers ongoing inside ferry,” “Sewol ferry now has another problem, before moving to land,” “Sewol ferry finally completes dry docking, now to search for missing victims,” “People Visit the Sewol to Remember Not Just to Offer Flowers,” “The People Say, ‘Safety after the Sewol, Nothing Has Changed,'” and “Problems Still to Tackle: Recognizing ‘Death on Duty’ of Temporary Teachers and Funding the Treatment of Civilian Divers.”
- “Is four-day work week a realistic aim for Korea?” That would be nice.
- “Average Korean has 500 cups of coffee.” I’m surprised by how often they drink coffee in a year, but then again, 1) I have no idea how much Americans drink, and 2) I’ve barely been drinking it for a year and a half, so what the hell do I know?
- “15% of South Koreans with depression seek professional help.” And it takes about 84 weeks, on average, before someone with depression seeks treatment.
- “South Korea’s Own History Problem.” Before and during the Korean War, hundreds of thousands of people were massacred by the army and anti-communist guerrillas.
- “Korea’s first-ever female film director passes away at 94.” Her name was Park Nam-ok, and there is an award named after her that is given out by the Seoul International Women’s Film Festival.
- “Korean web comics. From phone to big screen.” Look at successful and less-than-successful webtoon adaptations.
- “Ryu Su-young, Park Ha-sun unveil wedding photos.” I don’t even know who the groom is, I just think these photos are adorable. So here, have a smile.
- “‘Tunnel’ Climbs Up In Ratings As More Cases Are Tackled.” They hit a national average of 4% for the sixth episode.
