The Korea Post notice
Handong Global University stands out with many distinguishing features
Unrivaled long string of scholarships, financial assistance
Most of the high school graduates and their parents in Korea tend to insist on winning matriculation ‘at all cost’ at Seoul National University or other ‘prestigious’ universities in Seoul such as Yonsei, Korea, Ewha (for women), Sogang and a number of others.However, closely examining other universities in Korea, such as those in different localities out of the capital city, one is appalled at the outstanding features of other universities in various localities, which stand out in various aspects. The Korea Post has embarked on ‘discovering’ such universities across the country and introducing them to the students and parents for a fresh look into the reality in the educational circles in Korea.
The first university is Handong Global University (HGU) which is located near Pohang where POSCO is situated. Unlike other universities, students at HGU come from Seoul instead of their going to Seoul from the local regions. A quick glance at a breakdown of students at HGU from different localities shows 31.2% from Seoul and the surrounding ‘Capital Zone,’ 18.7% from Daegu Metropolitan City (MC) and Gyeongsangbuk-do, 12.4% from Busan MC, Gyeongsangnam-do (including Ulsan) 9.2% from Gwangju MC and Jeolla provinces, 11.9% from Daejeon MC and Chungcheong provinces, 2.4% from Gangwon and Jeju regions. This situation is rarely noticed with other universities in Korea, and may be construed as an indication that HGU has features that outshine other universities, including those in Seoul.
One of the outstanding reasons is the generous scholarships offered by the University and other supporting organizations and the outstanding features attractive to the students and parents. For further details, please visit: /news/view.html?section=162&category=182&no=946
Ambassadors and their spouses are invited to in the middle of June this year tour the campus facilities of the Unity and also to visit the POSCO Museum and the picturesque Yeongil-Dae Pavilion that protrudes into the sea from the shore of Pohang. Invitation will be emailed and faxed to the Excellencies> In case of transmission failure, please contact Tel 2298-1740/2, 010-3388-1682 (Korean), 010-3481-1101 (English) or 010-5201-1740 (Chairman Lee Kyung-sik).
Main building of the Handong Global University campus in Pohang, near POSCO.
Send your Korean-language press release(s) to The Korea Post for its Korean print weekly

Send your Korean-language press release(s) to edt@koreapost.com.
For any inquiries, please call 2298-1740/2 or 010-3388-1682 (Korean), 010-3481-1101 (English) or 010-5201-1740 (publisher)

Today’s humor:
Humor from a generous former Asian ambassador
Pun for fun
Ques: What do Snowmen call their offspring?
Ans: "Chill-dren."
School joke
Teacher: Why have you stuffed cotton wool in your ears, do you have an infection?
Pupil: Well, you keep saying that things go in one ear and come out through the other so I am trying to keep it all in!
She wasn’t a blonde
Kelly was standing in front of Cohan's Tavern when he saw a driverless car rolling slowly down the street.
He ran to the car, jumped in, and pulled on the emergency brake with a jerk.
Kelly got out and very proudly said to the man approaching him, "I stopped it!"
"I know, you idiot!" said the man. "I was pushing it!"
Hankuk Kyungje
Cultural Differences
During an educational theory lecture at an American university the professor stressed the importance of being sensitive to cultural differences.
An attractive young woman insisted that there was no difference between cultures apart from dress, language and food.
A student from the Middle East stood up. “You have stated that your culture has not significantly affected how you think, am I correct?”
“That’s right,” she answered.
“And that there are no important differences between my culture and yours?”
“Correct.”
His handsome face lit up with a dazzling smile.
“I am happy, then, because I find you very attractive. I have only two wives and would like you to be the third.”

[Column] The NIS peddles unconfirmed intelligence to manipulate the media
If alleged execution of Hyon Yong-chol in North Korea ends up being false, trust in intelligence agency will fall even further
The way that the alleged purge of North Korea‘s Minister of the People’s Armed Forces Hyon Yong-chol was reported in the South Korean media reveals to the public what is currently wrong with the National Intelligence Service (NIS). It shows how the NIS, South Korea’s main spy agency, appears to have actively peddled unconfirmed intelligence.
[Reporter’s notebook] A nation that is leaving its elderly for dead
Mt. Kamuriki in Japan’s Nagano Prefecture is known by the nickname “Ubasute.” It’s a term that translates roughly into “abandoning the old woman.” A family there fell on hard times, the story goes, and the members decided to take their elderly aunt, a woman they‘d cared for like a mother, and leave her on the mountain to die. They repented when they saw the moonlight, it is said, and returned the next day to bring her home. .
[Photo essay] May 18 continues to this day
“The May 18 Democratization Movement did not end with the deaths early in the morning on May 27, 1980, the day the movement was crushed by military force. It was reborn as a long march toward democracy in South Korea and is still alive today. Democratic development in South Korean society has reached a point where there is no longer a place for military dictatorships, and the history of unjust governments trampling on the rights of the people will not be repeated.” .
