  38. <p>Criticism is mounting against the main opposition party&#8217;s move to railroad the provision of blanket per capita cash handouts of 250,000 won ($185) across the country.Rep. Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea (DPK), says the plan with a cost of 13 trillion won would &#8220;revitalize the economy,&#8221; pressuring President Yoon Suk Yeol and economic policymakers to resort to debt financing over the ruling party&#8217;s crushing defeat in the April 10 elections.Experts say the measure will deteriorate the country&#8217;s fiscal profile, as evidenced by similar botched policies under the Moon Jae-in administration that ended up causing a spike in government debt, increased taxes and a property market bubble.</p>
  39.  
  40.  
  41.  
  42. <p>Further amplifying the concerns are the rapid depreciation of the Korean won, coupled with persistently high inflation. This is a recipe for sustained economic woes, brought on and exacerbated by post-pandemic increases in borrowing costs amid elevated prices of goods and services.Proponents of the plan say the increased cash in the market can spur consumption, but others say the argument lacks merit since more money ends up pushing prices up further.Bank of Korea Governor Rhee Chang-yong opposed the plan.Drafting an extra budget to help relieve the economic strains of the public is &#8220;shortsighted,&#8221; he said during a meeting with media in Washington, Friday (local time).Korea&#8217;s debt-to-GDP ratio is 53 percent. Lee and main opposition lawmakers say the figure is low compared to the country&#8217;s advanced peers, a grounds for bolstering the cash handout drive.However, Rhee said the ratio is expected to spike to a range of between 70 percent and 90 percent in the next two decades, provided that the country&#8217;s welfare spending is unrevised despite rapid <a href="https://edwardsrailcar.com/" title="메이저 ">메이저 </a>population aging.</p><p>The post <a href="https://casinoblog.day/2024/04/opposition-led-calls-for-increased-budget-raise-fiscal-soundness-concerns/">Opposition-led calls for increased budget raise fiscal soundness concerns</a> first appeared on <a href="https://casinoblog.day">casinoblog.day</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

  65. <p>Young Koreans are increasingly shunning working for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) despite the falling employment rate of young people that inched down 0.3 percentage points year-on-year to 45.9 percent in March.According to the Korean Statistical Information Service data provided by Statistics Korea, the number of workers in their 20s and 30s working for SMEs last year totaled 7.81 million, or 30.9 percent of all workers hired by SMEs.&#8221;The data suggests less than one out of three SME workers is in their 30s or younger,&#8221; Statistics Korea said, noting the rate has been diminishing over the years.For instance, those in their 20s and 30s made up 47.7 percent of entire SME workforce in 2003. The rate has been falling, with the latest data marking 31.8 percent in 2021 and 31.4 percent in 2022.For 2023, those in their 60s and older made up 24 percent of SME employees, followed by those in their 50s at 23.8 percent and those in their 40s at 21.3 percent.&#8221;The older they are, the more they are likely to work for SMEs,&#8221; an official at stats agency said.It said low birthrates and an aging population are partly related to the decline in the number of younger workers in the job market, including for SMEs.</p>
  66.  
  67.  
  68.  
  69. <p>At the same time, it explained that younger workers have a stronger tendency to avoid low-paid jobs and even prefer giving up the job search if they can&#8217;t find ideal jobs.It pointed out those in their 20s and 30s accounted for 46.6 percent of all employees at conglomerates in 2023.Those in their 40s made up 27.7 percent, while those in their 50s made up 21 percent and those 60 or older accounted for 6.7 percent.&#8221;You can see that the ratio of young workers at large businesses is 1.5 times larger than at SMEs,&#8221; the official noted.Separate data by Statistics Korea showed that workers at large companies earned 5.91 million won ($4,280) on average a month in 2022, which is 2.1 times more than 2.86 million won earned by workers at SMEs.The gap in working condition is also huge between conglomerates and SMEs. A report by the labor ministry showed that only 50.8 percent of small businesses hiring from 10 to 29 workers said any of their workers can take child care leave freely. The ratio was as high as 95.1 percent for large companies hiring 300 or more workers.As a result, young Koreans often wait until they get hired by large companies instead of jumping to jobs at SMEs.According to Statistics Korea, over 600,000 people in their 20s and 30s are not working or searching for jobs without any specific reasons. They virtually gave up job searching, but they are not <a href="https://edwardsrailcar.com/" title="메이저 ">메이저 </a>categorized as unemployed in statistics.</p><p>The post <a href="https://casinoblog.day/2024/04/young-koreans-ditch-smes-prefer-conglomerates/">Young Koreans ditch SMEs, prefer conglomerates</a> first appeared on <a href="https://casinoblog.day">casinoblog.day</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

  119. <p>In the dynamic world of K-pop, PLAVE has emerged as a trailblazer with its five virtual members.Leading the charge is Lee Sung-gu, the CEO of VLAST Entertainment, who recently unveiled the group&#8217;s unlikely secret to success: what he calls the &#8220;humanism&#8221; ingrained in each member, offering a unique twist on the traditional non-human group concept.While the concept of virtual idols isn&#8217;t entirely new in the K-pop realm, what sets PLAVE apart is the human touch behind the computer-generated characters. Unlike other virtual idols, where different individuals handle separate idol tasks such as singing and dancing behind the scenes, a dedicated performer is responsible for each member of PLAVE.</p>
  120.  
  121.  
  122.  
  123. <p>This approach allows each of the group&#8217;s five members — Yejun, Noah, Bamby, Eunho and Hamin — to display unique characteristics that reflect those of their real-life counterparts, as they mimic the movements and voices of performers wearing motion-capture devices.For instance, Yejun, the group&#8217;s leader, embodies a gentle yet diligent demeanor, while Bamby, despite his trademark adorable pink hair, exudes a more masculine charm. &#8220;Humanism is what I believe is the key to PLAVE&#8217;s success,&#8221; said Lee, the CEO, during a press conference held at a hotel in Mapo District, western Seoul, Monday.This strategy has not only captivated fans, but also addressed a common critique of virtual idols lacking relatable, human appeal.&#8221;Since the inception of the virtual idol concept, there have been similar attempts by other companies, but they received criticism for lacking human appeal. For a virtual character to be loved, we believed that it must have a personal charm. We didn&#8217;t think an idol with the traits of many different people could become an actual entity that fans find appealing,&#8221; Lee said.&#8221;Therefore, from the development stage of PLAVE, despite technological complexities, we aimed to create a group that can sing and perform live <a href="https://www.slotplayground.com/" title="슬롯게이밍 ">슬롯게이밍 </a>themselves.&#8221;</p><p>The post <a href="https://casinoblog.day/2024/04/mastermind-behind-virtual-band-plave-attributes-success-to-humanism/">Mastermind behind virtual band PLAVE attributes success to humanism</a> first appeared on <a href="https://casinoblog.day">casinoblog.day</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

  173. <p>Students preparing for medical school admissions are complaining about the government&#8217;s latest decision to allow schools to decrease the size of enrollment expansion by the hundreds, creating confusion for them at a time when the application period for early admissions is now less than five months away.Interest in entering medical schools has been growing since February after the Yoon Suk Yeol administration announced a plan to increase the quota by 2,000 slots from the current 3,058, starting from the 2025 academic year.The government allocated the additional 2,000 admission seats to 32 universities on March 20, signaling its strong will to proceed with the plan, despite protests from doctors.</p>
  174.  
  175.  
  176.  
  177. <p>However, on Friday, the administration allowed universities to adjust their quotas on their own within a range of 50 to 100 percent of the increased quota allocated to them. This decision is expected to decrease the number of new slots by 500 to 1,000.In particular, complaints are being lodged by those who are majoring in different subjects at universities or working in other fields and who recently joined the competition to get into medical schools by retaking the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT). The CSAT is the national college entrance exam that takes place every November in Korea.A 21-year-old second-year college student currently studying natural sciences at one of the nation&#8217;s top universities in Seoul said he has been studying for CSAT on top of his academic work, following the government&#8217;s announcement to increase the number of medical students.&#8221;Taking the CSAT again was a big decision that can change my life. The government&#8217;s flip-flopping on the policy made me think that my efforts may have been in vain,&#8221; <a href="https://www.casinositeking.com/" title="카지노사이트킹 ">카지노사이트킹 </a>he said.</p><p>The post <a href="https://casinoblog.day/2024/04/governments-flip-flopping-on-med-school-quota-hike-confuses-students/">Government’s flip-flopping on med school quota hike confuses students</a> first appeared on <a href="https://casinoblog.day">casinoblog.day</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

  200. <p>Mehmet Gonenc, a Turkish artillery officer, was remembered for his heroic sacrifice during the Korean War, where he displayed extraordinary bravery in the face of enemy occupation.Gonenc&#8217;s actions from April 22 to 23, 1951, exemplify the courage and dedication of Turkish soldiers in defending their positions against overwhelming odds.According to firsthand accounts, Gonenc, serving in the Ninth Infantry Division, bravely called for artillery support despite being surrounded by enemy forces.In a radio transmission to the artillery battalion headquarters, Gonenc urgently requested assistance.&#8221;The enemy has occupied our hill. Many casualties have occurred. The infantry battalion commander has become a prisoner of war. A signalman has also fallen. Fire the cannons at these coordinates,&#8221; he said, according to eyewitnesses, giving the coordinates for artillery fire to his location.His commanding officer at the time recounted Gonenc&#8217;s unwavering determination, saying, &#8220;Mehmet Gonenc displayed exceptional courage and selflessness in the face of imminent danger. His actions reflect the highest ideals of military service.&#8221;</p>
  201.  
  202.  
  203.  
  204. <p>Even in the face of known dangers, Gonenc remained steadfast in his determination, refusing to yield to the enemy. &#8220;We won&#8217;t allow ourselves to fall into enemy hands. Don&#8217;t let them take us prisoner. Direct the artillery fire to our positions; I&#8217;ll relay the coordinates once more,&#8221; he said in his last transmission before the radio fell silent.The decision to honor Gonenc&#8217;s sacrifice was unanimous among his fellow officers, who were deeply moved by his bravery.&#8221;Mehmet Gonenc&#8217;s sacrifice will be remembered as a symbol of valor and honor for generations to come,&#8221; a fellow officer said.The commemoration ceremony for Gonenc and his comrades was held in Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi Province, Monday.&#8221;Lieutenant Mehmet Gonenc&#8217;s story shone like a beacon during the difficult times of war, and he played a decisive role in changing the course of the battle and saving thousands of lives,&#8221; Turkish Ambassador to Korea Murat Tamer said at the ceremony.&#8221;The sacrifices and heroism of Turkish soldiers who participated in the Korean War have contributed, even if just a little, to the formation of this beautiful country, giving us pride and sustaining our friendship and <a href="https://www.casinosite.zone/" title="온라인카지노 ">온라인카지노 </a>brotherhood.&#8221;</p><p>The post <a href="https://casinoblog.day/2024/04/turkish-officer-honored-for-heroic-sacrifice-during-korean-war/">Turkish officer honored for heroic sacrifice during Korean War</a> first appeared on <a href="https://casinoblog.day">casinoblog.day</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

  227. <p>Korea&#8217;s producer prices rose for the fourth consecutive month in March, driven in part by soaring prices of agricultural goods and industrial goods, central bank data showed Tuesday.The producer price index, a major barometer of consumer inflation, increased 0.2 percent in March from a month earlier, following 0.3 percent and 0.5 percent on-month gains, respectively, in February and January, according to the preliminary data from the Bank of Korea (BOK).On a yearly basis, the index rose 1.6 percent after a 1.5 percent on-year gain the previous month.</p>
  228.  
  229.  
  230.  
  231. <p>The rise is blamed on a 1.3 percent increase in agricultural products and a 0.6 percent advance in prices of industrial goods.Producer prices are one of the key indicators that determine the trajectory of inflation, as they influence the prices that businesses charge to consumers in the months ahead.Korea&#8217;s inflation stayed over 3 percent for the second consecutive month in March on record prices of fruit and rising global oil prices.Consumer prices, a key gauge of inflation, rose 3.1 percent on-year last month, following a 3.2 percent increase the previous month, according to the data from Statistics Korea.The country&#8217;s central bank froze its key rate for the 10th straight session at 3.5 percent early this month amid slower-than-expected inflation moderation.The rate freezes came after the BOK delivered seven consecutive rate hikes from April 2022 to January <a href="https://www.casinosite.zone/" title="온라인카지노 ">온라인카지노 </a>2023.</p><p>The post <a href="https://casinoblog.day/2024/04/producer-prices-up-for-4th-month-in-march-on-high-prices-of-farm-industrial-goods/">Producer prices up for 4th month in March on high prices of farm, industrial goods</a> first appeared on <a href="https://casinoblog.day">casinoblog.day</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

  254. <p>Defense officials from Korea and Poland met in Seoul, Monday, amid mounting concerns that lingering financial hurdles could hamper a second major arms contract between the two nations.Seok Jong-geun, head of Korea&#8217;s Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA), held talks with Polish Vice Defense Minister Paweł Bejda, Marcin Kulasek, vice minister of state assets, and Dariusz Ryczkowski, deputy commander of the Joint Support and Enabling Command under NATO, during the Polish delegation&#8217;s visit to Korea, according to DAPA.The visit by senior Polish defense officials took place 10 months after its former Defense Minister Mariusz Błaszczak visited Korea. It marks the first visit by senior defense officials of the new Polish administration under Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who took office in December last year, DAPA added.</p>
  255.  
  256.  
  257.  
  258. <p>The meeting also occurred as Poland, a major buyer of Korean weapons, has been expressing concerns about financial obstacles in closing arms deals with Seoul.In July 2022, Korea signed a framework agreement with Poland to export arms worth billions of dollars. Under this agreement, the two nations sealed an initial arms export deal worth 17 trillion won ($12.4 billion), marking Korea&#8217;s largest-ever arms contract with a single country.This encompassed exports of K239 Chunmoo multi-barreled missile launchers, K-2 tanks, K-9 self-propelled howitzers and FA-50 light combat aircraft. Korea&#8217;s defense authorities had aimed to finalize a larger-scale second contract worth 30 trillion won last year but encountered stumbling blocks due to loan issues. In large-scale export deals, it is customary for the bidding country to provide loans to its trading partner to assist in funding the deal.Warsaw requested over 20 trillion won in capital support for the second deal, but the Export-Import Bank of Korea (Eximbank) could not extend the <a href="https://www.sportstotozone.com/" title="스포츠토토존 ">스포츠토토존 </a>credit as it had nearly reached its legal cap as stipulated by law.</p><p>The post <a href="https://casinoblog.day/2024/04/korea-poland-mega-arms-deal-jeopardized-by-financial-hurdles/">Korea-Poland mega arms deal jeopardized by financial hurdles</a> first appeared on <a href="https://casinoblog.day">casinoblog.day</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

  281. <p>President Yoon Suk Yeol appointed former National Assembly Deputy Speaker Chung Jin-suk of the ruling People Power Party (PPP) as his new chief of staff, Monday, seeking to leverage the political expertise of the five-term lawmaker against the current backdrop of the opposition bloc controlling parliament.While he expects the seasoned politician to help improve his communication with the opposition following the ruling party&#8217;s crushing defeat in the April 10 general elections, the Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) labelled Chung as the &#8220;wrong pick.&#8221;In a rare appearance before the press, the president personally introduced Chung and also fielded questions from reporters, apparently in response to criticism urging Yoon to adjust his approach to communicating with the public.“As you may know, Chung is known for fostering amicable relationships across the landscape of Korean politics,” Yoon said. “I expect him to serve his role as the presidential chief of staff by facilitating seamless communication, not only within the presidential office, but also with the Cabinet, opposition parties, media, and the public, ensuring effective coordination across all sectors.”Chung is Yoon’s third chief of staff, replacing Lee Kwan-sup, who offered to resign along with Prime Minister Han Duck-soo and other senior secretaries following the general elections, in which the PPP secured only 108 of the 300-member Assembly.“I foresee challenges ahead, especially with the opposition controlling the Assembly, and I believe it is my responsibility to support the Yoon administration and the president himself,” Chung said.</p>
  282.  
  283.  
  284.  
  285. <p>“I believe the president’s remarks indicate his intention to pursue a politics of reconciliation, and I am committed to assisting him in fostering communication, conciliation, and unity.”Chung served as the deputy speaker in the current 21st Assembly. From 2010 to 2011, he worked for former President Lee Myung-bak as senior secretary for political affairs.In recent years, he led the PPP as an interim leader from July 2022 to March of the following year, during a period marked by internal disputes between Yoon loyalists and others vying for the chairmanship. Despite his extensive political experience, the 63-year-old saw his bid for a sixth term thwarted in the April 10 elections.Given his background, Chung&#8217;s appointment is seen as a strategic move by the president to gain political leverage in his dealings with the opposition-controlled Assembly. Unlike Yoon&#8217;s previous chiefs of staff, Lee and Kim Dae-ki, who were career bureaucrats with expertise in economic policies, Chung brings extensive experience in navigating political dynamics, particularly within the realm of inter-party relations.After the election defeat, Yoon promised to change his approach to running the government and seek more cooperation with the DPK in handling state affairs.“For the past two years, our focus has been on formulating crucial national objectives into policies and diligently implementing them,” the president said.“Now that policy directions have been established, our next task is to persuade and communicate these directions effectively to the public. In this endeavor, we will prioritize persuading and communicating with the opposition party. This is precisely why I appointed Chung to the <a href="https://www.sportstotozone.com/" title="스포츠토토존 ">스포츠토토존 </a>role</p><p>The post <a href="https://casinoblog.day/2024/04/yoon-appoints-ex-deputy-assembly-speaker-as-chief-of-staff/">Yoon appoints ex-deputy Assembly speaker as chief of staff</a> first appeared on <a href="https://casinoblog.day">casinoblog.day</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>
