Today’s humor:

Humor from a generous former Asian ambassador

Blonde humor

A blonde went to police station and registered a complaint

Blonde - "Sir, I am getting threats on my phone."

Police: "Who the hell is threating you? Tell me we will take action against them."

Blond: "Sir, telephone people... They are threating to cut if the bill is not paid."

Foolish man & wise man

A foolish man tells a woman to STOP talking, but a WISE man tells her that she looks extremely BEAUTIFUL when her LIPS are CLOSED.

Hankuk Kyungje

He vs. She

-Marrying a divorced man is ecologically responsible. In a world where there are more women than men, it pays to recycle.

-Men who can eat anything they want and not gain weight should do it out of sight of women.

-When four or more men get together, they talk about sports.

-When four or more women get together, they talk about men.

-When a woman tries on clothing from her closet that feels tight, she will assume she has gained weight.

When a man tries on clothing from his closet that feels tight, he will assume that the clothing has shrunk.

150,000 rally on May Day to oppose government’s labor reforms

Activists argue that proposed reforms will only exacerbate the polarization in South Korea’s two-tier labor market

On May 1, 125th International Workers’ Day, the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) and the Federation of Korean Trade Unions (FKTU) organized the largest ever gathering for the holiday - with around 150,000 people attending - and expressed their opposition to government plans to restructure the labor market.

Seoul announces efforts to step up inter-Korean cooperation

The South Korean government announced plans on May 1 to allow broad-ranging inter-Korean exchange efforts by private groups and local governments and organize joint cultural, historical, and sporting events for the 70th anniversary of Korean independence this August. The question now is how Pyongyang will respond. .

To boost low productivity, more Korean companies dedicating select hours to focused work

LG U introduced its “911 working system” in 2013. The system involves dedicated working hours between 9 and 11 each morning. LG Display has similar dedicated hours from 8:30 to 10 am and from 4 to 5:30 pm at its Paju and Kumi plants. During those hours, workers are encouraged to avoid smoking or other distractions and focus on collaboration and duties instead. .

[News analysis] With the US on Japan’s side, time for a S. Korean diplomatic reset?

With Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe wrapping up his trip to the US without adopting a forward-looking attitude toward historical issues, cracks are showing in the assumptions of President Park Geun-hye’s strategic approach to foreign policy. Experts argue that South Korea must reset its approach to foreign policy so that it can avoid being isolated as the US sides with Japan on historical issues and defense cooperation. .

[Correspondent’s column] In Washington, views on East Asia tilting in Japan’s favor

There’s a group of Japanese experts in Washington who control US policy toward Japan. They are known as “Japan handlers,” since they offer advice about Japan policy. Their breadth and reach go much wider and much deeper than experts on the Korean peninsula. Some of these figures deal with both Japan and Korea policy, which means that their perspectives also have a major effect on the Korean peninsula. .

The wave of English education reaching North Korea

Are young North Koreans about to face the same stress over learning English as their South Korean counterparts? The Korean Peninsula is in the middle of an English education wave - and now it appears the North is no exception.“Thank you, the Great Leader Marshal Kim Jong Il!” reads one of the entries in a North Korean middle school English textbook. .

Paju set to become film town, in addition to being book hub

Paju is getting a new “book and film town.”The project is the second phase of an effort that has already seen the creation of a book hub in the Gyeonggi Province city. Now some 30 film-related businesses are set to move in, while additional venues are built for residents to enjoy films. Having already established its reputation as a publishing center, Paju is about to become a “cinema town” too. .

Abe’s remarks in Washington again evade responsibility for past aggressions

“Post war, we started out on our path bearing in mind feelings of deep remorse over the war. Our actions brought suffering to the peoples in Asian countries. We must not avert our eyes from that. I will uphold the views expressed by the previous prime ministers in this regard.”This was the sum total of Shinzo Abe’s remarks about his country’s historical aggressions during a joint address to the US Senate and House of Representatives on Apr. 29, the first ever by a Japanese Prime Minister. No clear message of reflection was given on past episodes of aggression or colonial rule by Japan. The term “comfort women” was never mentioned, let alone any apology to survivors of wartime sexual slavery.
