Hey, #GongYoo (#SquidGame's recruiter), learn that #DanaWhite wants to turn #powerslap into a sport as popular as #UFC.

#Chimaek diplomacy: #NVIDIA, #Hyundai, and #Samsung leaders be boys at a Gangnam #Kkanbuchicken. Now #SquidGame-ologists know you can share a ramyeon and soju snack, or even pledge forever #kkanbu lotalty, but business remains business...

#Korea want a #nuclear submarine, but to whom will the techno ultimately be transferred?

Due to shrinking #demographics, not all universities will survive in #Korea. Several mergers under way in #Gangwondo (KNU / GWNU), #Jeollanamdo (MNU / JSU), #Gyeongsangnamdo (#CWNU with #Geochang & #Namhae).

On a bus in #Seoul: an ad for US #soybean.
Desperate for new markets after #Trump's #tariffs debacle.

Maybe 'President #Trump' should be translated as '#트럼프 대똥령'?

#Korea losing to #Taiwan in GDP per capita...
And said capitas in decline as well (#demographics, #braindrain, #Cambodia's Bermuda triangle...)

My neighborhood's (& #Korea's oldest) supermarket #Saruga turns 60, and better at displaying Western goods than perfect grammar.

Aging #Korea to sink from top 10 to 15th economy by 2030.

#SanaeTakaichi likely to become #Japan's new leader.
Good to see a female PM, but sad to see #NipponKaigi extremists win again. And once their favorite becomes next Emperor, #ImperialJapan can return. Sorry for a peaceful people who deserve better.

#Korea govt's lack of backup for core data is appalling yet it doesn’t come as a total surprise considering the recurrence of avoidable security crises.
Will this umpteenth wake up call work?

Fire in key data center - many systems down

#Naver acquires #Donamu via its financial arm. Loses majority stake, but gains potential growth engine as #AI undermines usual search & #ecommerce cash cows.

#LeeJaemyung hinted very heavily on his intention not to rely anymore on the US for defense. And to scale down defense. Good news for #NorthKorea & #China.

Seoul Village @seoulvillage.bsky.social · Sep 18

If 'rebooting #Korea' means taking over #justice to avoid jail and taking over finance to secure support after his term, then #LeeJaemyung is doing just that.

Amerikkka's Dear Leader #Trump catching enemies of the State on site of Hyundai plant, Georgia
Be a good citizen and report any suspicious activity by non-white people (ideally when media pressure for releasing #EpsteinFiles is rising again).

Seoul Village @seoulvillage.bsky.social · Sep 7

#LeeJaemyung going full #Trump: full control of #justice (prosecution replaced with agency), finance budget under his wing.

Seoul Village @seoulvillage.bsky.social · Sep 7

And oh, #Trump keeps campaigning for #NobelPeacePrize:

Seoul Village @seoulvillage.bsky.social · Sep 6

Raid against #Hyundai plant construction site and embarrassment for both #Georgia and #Korea. And a double edged sword for the #Trump administration: adds pressure for further #trade and #tariffs negotiations, will make even more acute the economic impacts of its war on illegals.
