The Korea Post notices:

Proudly introduce the traditional foods of your country:

I am pleased to inform Your Excellency that The Korea Post is publishing a Special Report in all its five media units (two in Korean and three in English) to introduce the regular food table of each country.

This is in preparation for the Grand Exhibition of Food Tables of the World to be shown to over half a million people expected to visit the 2015 Namyangju Slow Life Planet Festival on October 8-17, 2015.

Please email to edt@koreapost.com a copy of the regular Food Table of your country for publication in The Korea Post and also at the Exhibition Center of the 2015 Namyangju Festival for a duration of 10 days.

In Korea, the table normally consists of a bowl of rice, a bowl of guk (watery soup), a bowl of Jjigae (stew), a dish of roast fish, a dish of Namul (seasonal greens) and a number of other dishes (small pancakes, steamed eggs, fried bean curds, jelly, etc.). The number of bowls and dishes differ depending on the financial status of the family and on the different occasions. On such festive occasions as Seollal (Lunar New Year’s Day) and Chuseok (Autumn Full Moon Festival), the number of foods and variety are much larger than at normal time, and each has a specific food item that must not be left out, eg., Ddeokguk (rice cake soup) on the New Year’s Day and Songpyeon (stuffed small rice cake in a half-moon shape. (Please call 010-5201-1740 for further details.)

Today’s humor:

Hankuk Kyungje

Idol

The woman stood in line for hours to get an autograph and a picture taken with the male model.

Afterward, she could speak of nothing but his attractive eyes and his fabulous physique.

The chubby husband couldn’t but feel a bit jealous of her idol. Then he overheard her talking to her mother on the phone that night.

“Oh, Mom, he was wonderful, but I can’t picture him coming home on his lunch hour to take a dead fish out of the fish tank for me.”

[News analysis] From their lowest nadir, Seoul-Tokyo relations could be at a turning point

After reaching their lowest point ever under the administration of President Park Geun-hye, relations between South Korea and Japan may be at a turning point on the 50th anniversary of the normalization of bilateral diplomatic relations. The question now is whether South Korea and Japan can overcome the disagreements and disputes over historical issues and reach the summit of a normalized relationship, represented by holding a summit between their leaders, before the year is out.

North Korea cancels plans to participate in Gwangju Universiade

North Korea announced that it will not be attending the summer Universiade, scheduled to take place in Gwangju between July 3 and 14, because the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights is setting up a field office in Seoul. The announcement throws a wrench in the plans of the South Korean government to treat North Korea’s participation in the sports event as an opportunity to resume inter-Korean exchange. .

Foreign travellers to get automatic MERS insurance from S. Korean government

Foreign visitors to South Korea will receive automatic Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) insurance enrollment for the next three months. The Korea Association of Travel Agents (KATA) announced on June 22 that it was enrolling that day in MERS compensation insurance for foreign travelers with support from the South Korean government. But the measure is expected to draw continued criticism, with some charging that the country is focusing too much on tourist visits.

State-run think predicts GDP growth of less than 3% for this year

A state-run economic think tank released a report on June 22 predicting a 3.1% drop in exports and real gross domestic product (GDP) growth of just 2.9% this year. The new figures from Korea Institute for Industrial Economics & Trade (KIET) mark substantial declines from its 2015 forecast last November, in which it projected rises of 4.5% in exports and 3.7% in real GDP. It is also the first time the KIET has officially predicted an economic growth rate of less than three percent for the year. .

Park and Abe participate in commemorative ceremony, following foreign ministers meeting

After more than three years of conflict over responsibility for the drafting of comfort women and other issues, South Korea and Japan held a foreign ministers’ meeting in Tokyo this week. South Korean President Park Geun-hye and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe are scheduled to participate in a ceremony to commemorate the 50th anniversary of normalized bilateral relations today. The moves could signal the possibility of a faster than expected, dramatic improvement, i .

Study: law school more and more a way for children of the wealthy to become lawyers

The lawyers who attended the law schools that opened in 2009 or who passed the legal service exam and attended the government’s Judicial Research and Training Institute come from the top 10% of households with an average monthly income of more than 10 million won (US$9,080), a study shows. The study backs up the commonly held view that children of the wealthy are gradually coming to dominate law, one of South Korea’s most elite professions. .

MERS infections are waning, but outbreak not yet over

New infections with Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) appear to be tapering off. With most of the new cases involving transmission during treatment of patients with the syndrome, many are now calling for stronger safeguards for medical workers. Meanwhile, a growing number of patients are being discharged as fully recovered from the MERS virus. .

Korean charity for miners and nurses in Germany barely hanging on

“The German government stepped in and paid three months of the employees’ wages. The reason I came to South Korea was to help this organization get back on its feet. . .”Kim In-seon, 65, president of a volunteer hospice organization in Berlin, Germany, called Mitgehen (meaning “going together”), came to South Korea on June 1, just when MERS was starting to spread.
