Seoul Kyungje

A husband and his wife were riding along together in a car. They had been quarreling and hadn't spoken for a long time. Finally, they passed a mule* in a pasture. The man pointed to the mule and asked his wife, "A relative of yours?"Without a moment's hesitation, she responded, "Yes, by marriage."

Hankuk Kyungje

Charitable ContributionA man who listed as a charitable contribution the cost of a tombstone over his brother’s grave was asked by tax officials to explain the reason for this. He explained that his brother never did anything for him; nevertheless, he paid for the erection of his brother’s tombstone and, therefore, it was a sheer act of charity.-----------------------------------------------

US and Japan mutual defense guidelines could raise regional tensions South Korea could end up in a position of having to choose between China and US-Japan alliance The interim report on revising the US and Japan’s mutual defense guidelines that the two countries announced on Oct. 8 seems likely to increase tensions in the security environment throughout Northeast Asia around the Korean peninsula. There is a good chance that South Korea will face pressure to choose between the US and China, and the revised guidelines could also have a considerable influence on South Korea’s relations with Japan and with North Korea.

Leon Panetta’s memoirs tells of willingness to use nukes in KoreaAs US Secretary of Defense in Oct. 2011, Leon Panetta told high-level South Korean officials the US was willing to use nuclear weapons if necessary to defend South Korea in an emergency on the Korean Peninsula.

Unification minister says Seoul’s position on May 24 measures unchangedThe South Korean government has no plans to change its stance on North Korea policies such as the so-called “May 24 measures” sanctions ahead of a second round of high-level talks with North Korea, Unification Minister Ryoo Kihl-jae said on Oct. 8.

Inter-Korean relations need a “low-tide” periodA variety of opinions are being voiced about the 12-hour visit of core figures in the North Korean leadership to Incheon on Oct. 4. Clearly, there are increasing expectations that inter-Korean relations may change.

S. Korea and US militaries planning response to NK missile threatSouth Korean and American military officials are currently drawing up contingency plans for responding jointly to the threat of a North Korean ballistic missile by mobilizing the US missile defense system, according to documents released on Oct. 7. Since this kind of cooperation would require the South Korean military to be even more closely integrated into the American missile defense system, the debate about whether South Korea should join the missile defense system is expected to become more intense.-----------------------------------------------

Insanga makes 'bamboo salt,' runs health-promoting facilities

World’s first Bamboo Salt Co. and Insan Food founded by Dr. Insan Kim Il-Hun

Insanga Co., Ltd., established in 1987, produces Jukyeom (literally, Bamboo Salt), which is very popular in Korea for its health-promoting effect. However, Insanga is better known for a health promotion program that includes a health tour of various facilities at the Insanga Estate noted for clean air coming from dense forest and a village of traditional Korean nobilities of the past dynasties.

▲▲Insanga has many health-promoting facilities and operates various interesting programs aimed for the enhancement of health of the people.Insanga is a legendary company in terms of development and production of Jukyeom (Bamboo Salt). It was the first company in Korea to make Jukyeom. Insanga also makes a variety of traditional Korean fermented sauces. Together with Jukyeom, the annual turnover of Insanga totals 16.5 billion won (US$1.54 million) and the number of members total 110.▲Insanga secures salt materials from sun-dried natural salt field for the health of consumers.Insanga also operates Insan Training Center, Jiri Mountain Trail Lodge and a Cultural Center in Insan-dong Antique Street in the heart of the Capital City of Seoul.▲Earthen jars at Insanga health-promotion estate where a variety of traditional Korean soybean sauces and pastes are preserved for fermenting and storage.

There are many other institutions operated by Insanga and they include Insan Life Science Institute where various products of Insanga are tested for highest product quality.In a recent interview with The Korea Post, Chairman & CEO Kim Yun-se of Insanga said that Insanga was the ‘Home of Bamboo Salt’ and that the dream of Insanga was to help people live 100 years and beyond, which was the corporate philosophy of Insanga. Here are excerpts from the interview:▲Insan Bamboo Salt BuildingInsan Food was established on Aug. 27, 1987 by Master Insan Ilhun Kim (his father) to pass on the wisdom and philosophy aimed at the promotion of health of man.Q: What was the occasion for commercializing the bamboo salt-A: Insanga started commercializing the bamboo salt with the belief and evidence that salty foods are good for health only if and when the foods are made with good quality salt. We developed, produced and commercialized our bamboo salt with that aim.▲photo shows the statue of Founder Kim Ilhun of Insanga standing by a Buddhist temple building.Q: We understand that you have a number of interesting programs for the promotion of man’s health.A: Yes, we have the Insan Training Institute which is designed to help the participants recover from the ill effects of physical and mental fatigue. At the same time, they can benefit from good healing effect deriving from company, friends and family members.▲photo shows a kiln where salt is burnt in bamboo canes. Q: Please explain a bit more on Insanga-A: Insanga is the home of Bamboo Salt. It is Korean-style ‘Green Company’that is based on traditional Korean ideals. It is predicated on the innovative idea that “it is good to take in certain amounts of high-quality Salt.” This is a significant challenge to the world's conventional idea that salted food has harmful effects to the human body.▲A pond in the Insanga Health-promoting Estate nestled in a densely forested mountain where air is very clean for the health of the people coming for healing practices. Bamboo Salt is used in all foods that are served to the guests.

We have taken steps to further the science concerning the consumption of natural Korean-made elements and this is in pursuance of principle of late Dr. Kim Ilhun, the founder of Insanga. Insanga began commercializing the world's first Bamboo Salt in 1987.Q: Would you elaborate on the development of Bamboo Salt-A: Since its establishment, Insanga has been placing great emphasis on using the best quality products and continue technical development so as to ensure perfect quality and safety of products.

Dana-Farber Cancer Center at Harvard University, the world's foremost cancer authority, and a wide range of other researchers have proved the safety and effectiveness of Insan Bamboo Salt.▲ photo shows Bamboo Salt after burning inside bamboo canes.

Insanga had already recommended consuming useful foods, focusing on the anti-cancer effects of garlic even before the establishment of company. We have developed Garlic-Bamboo Salt and Traditional Bamboo Salt Pastes, which contribute to the improvement of health of the people.▲photo shows salt put in bamboo canes and wit their ends sealed with Korean Hwangto red clay.Insanga continues to make strong effort in research and production to maximize the value of natural products of Korea.History of Insanga: 2013March: Received Halal certified by the Department of Islamic Development of Malaysia (JAKIM) in March2012▲Salt is collected from sun-dried salt farm.November: Was awarded with Grand Prize for Korea Venture Business by the Ministry of Knowledge Economy▲Only firewood is used for heat-treating salt.
