◇ Lee Ik-seon: Let's open the second part with Aung Da-woong News. Announcer Lee Hyunwoong, who will be with us today as well, is here. Hello~

◈ Hello!

◇ Lee Ik-seon: First news. Let's look at the parliamentary conflict first. The government has decided to conditionally allow medical students to take a leave of absence from school, which has continued to refuse classes?

◈ [Lee Hyun-woong] That's right. This is what Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister Lee Ju-ho announced yesterday. Among medical students who have taken a leave of absence and have not taken classes since February, only those who promised to return in the first semester of next year will be allowed to take a leave of absence. However, along with the promise to return, the previously submitted leave of absence made it clear that the "conditional permit" was literally "no intention of taking a leave of absence from the alliance." We plan to take paid and expulsion measures for medical students who do not return to these measures. Many say it is unclear whether this measure will be effective for medical students. This is because the medical community is protesting that 'unconditional leave of absence' should be approved. Things may change next year, but it doesn't make sense to presuppose a return, and they argue that taking a leave of absence is an individual's right.

◆ Choi Soo-young: In the middle of this, the president of the medical association said that we should go to Dubai together to pursue our dream of becoming a doctor, what is this about?

◈ Lee Hyun-woong: Roh Hwan-kyu, former president of the Korean Medical Association, posted a picture on social media yesterday. In the picture, former chairman Roh is sitting at a conference table with a microphone. There are several foreigners sitting on the other side. Some people are wearing clothes that look like traditional Dubai costumes. According to the content of the article, he said he had received an offer from Dubai and wrote that he had lived as a Korean doctor until now, but now he has to live as a global doctor. He also added that if there is a cardiothoracic surgeon or vascular surgeon who will dream of becoming a global stage in Dubai, please do not hesitate to contact him. While looking at this article, there are reactions such as 'Please give me another transitional period,' and 'The country gives up its blessings,' and there are also reactions such as 'I'm eventually abandoning the patient,' and 'I'm free to go, but I won't come back.'

◇ Lee Ik-seon: The next news is about North Korea. Today is the day when the Supreme People's Assembly, which is equivalent to our National Assembly, is convened, so shall we first summarize the prospects that have been released so far?

◈ Lee Hyun-woong: First of all, the Constitution is expected to be revised at the Supreme People's Assembly. The direction of deleting the provisions related to unification and establishing new territorial provisions that did not exist seems promising. At the end of last year, Chairman Kim Jong-un already defined inter-Korean relations as "two hostile countries," and ordered a constitutional amendment in January this year, which is expected to be a follow-up measure. As I told you last time about unification, attention is being paid to whether the 1991 Inter-Korean Basic Agreement will be destroyed. The agreement defines inter-Korean relations as "special relations aimed at unification." It is also noteworthy to what extent the new territories, territorial waters, and airspace provisions are specifically put forward. This is because new provocations can be carried out in the name of this. In addition, attention is being paid to whether the North Korea-Russia Treaty signed in June will be ratified, and the results of the Supreme People's Assembly to be held today are expected to be reported as early as tomorrow through North Korean state media.

◇ Lee Ik-seon: The following is the news of Moon Da-hye's drunk driving. There were predictions that the police could face the first police investigation as early as today, so the Yongsan Police Station was crowded with reporters?

◈ [Lee Hyun-woong] That's right. A considerable crowd gathered at the entrance to the annex of Yongsan Police Station in Seoul, where the transportation department is located, from the morning. It is known that Yongsan Police Station is a fairly old building and there is no underground parking lot, so they have no choice but to go to investigate through the ground. That's why not only reporters but also YouTubers are fiercely competing for seats, adding to the confusion on the site. When the shooting was expected to take place indiscriminately, the police asked YouTubers to leave, saying, "Other suspects and victims are also coming here." The police say they are adjusting the date of Moon's attendance and that there is no specific date, making it difficult to confirm. So far, the black box memory card of the victim taxi has been secured, and it is said that Moon's car's black box has not been secured yet. In addition to the drunk driving charges, suspicions are raised about signal violations, illegal parking, and reckless driving, so it is expected to look into various areas to see if there are any violations.

◇ Lee Ik-seon: Lastly, let's look at the cultural news. The popularity of 'black and white chefs' is considerable these days, and there are voices of criticism in China that 'Korea steals Chinese food'?

◈ Lee Hyun-woong: Since its release on Netflix in the middle of last month, "Black and White Chef" has been so popular not only in Korea but also overseas that it is counted as the most watched non-English-speaking series in the world. However, some Chinese people claim that 'Korea stole Chinese food'. In particular, while sharing a scene in which a Korean chef makes a dish using Chinese "Bath" during the program, he insisted that "Koreans will claim that it is Korean food" and criticized the CEO of Jongwon Baek, the cast member, by calling it a "great thief." Seo Kyung-duk, a professor at Sungshin Women's University, shared this on social media and criticized it as a "red-down."

◆ Choi Soo-young: Well, China has already claimed that kimchi and samgyetang, and recently even hot pot bibimbap are their cultures, right?

◈ [Lee Hyun-woong] That's right. It has been a long time since they insisted that traditional Korean foods such as kimchi and samgyetang are Chinese. Recently, it has been reported that hot pot bibimbap is also designated as an intangible cultural heritage in China and is promoting it by creating a franchise. Along with pointing out this red card, there are also loud voices pointing out illegal viewing in China. This is because Netflix is not being serviced in China. Even before "Black and White Cook," there were controversies over illegal viewing of the movie "Pamyo" and "Pachinko" released by Apple TV Plus. This is why there are criticisms that China should first know how to respect other countries' cultures.

◇ Lee Ik-seon: We've looked at all the news prepared today.

◈ Lee Hyun-woong: Yes, thank you.
