◇ 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. There is a series of evidence that North Korea sent troops to Russia, and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy urged a firm response to this?

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: Yes. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy said in a video address that there was enough evidence that North Korea was sending equipment and troops to Russia. At the same time, he urged the international community to respond more firmly to North Korea.

In particular, he warned that North Korea's participation in the war will inevitably harm everyone. The reason was that if North Korea became skilled in modern warfare, instability and threats in the region could increase further.

Similar claims are being made elsewhere. Bruce Bennett, a U.S. military expert, said if North Korea's dispatch is true, Western countries could also start discussing sending troops to support Ukraine, which would have a big impact. I was referring to the possibility of escalation.

He also said that the dispatch could help North Korea a lot, saying that the South Korean military has gained hands-on experience and acquired the necessary tactics for modern warfare by sending troops to Vietnam.

◇ Choi Soo-young: North Korea and Russia have yet to take a different stance on the announcement of sending North Korea to Ukraine, right?

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: Yes. It's still silent. It was on the 18th that the National Intelligence Service reported the North Korean military's participation in the Ukraine war. To this day, we have not denied or condemned this announcement.

The reason for the silence is drawing keen attention because North Korea previously denied it was a "manipulation" when the international community criticized it for providing weapons to Russia.

Some analysts say that they are hiding the fact that they are sending their sons to the battlefield because they are aware of residents' complaints and agitation that they may send their sons to the battlefield, and that it is difficult to deny because the evidence shown by the National Intelligence Service is clear.

Russia has also not expressed its position on such an announcement. In this regard, it is difficult to deny the fact that North Korea has dispatched troops, and even if it is admitted, it is not beneficial, so it is interpreted as silent.

◇ Lee Ik-seon: Let's look at the next news. SNL Korea, a program that solves social and political issues with comedy, has been accused by the Korea Communications Standards Commission?

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: Yes. A complaint was filed with the Korea Communications Standards Commission through the National Newspaper. This is because the contents of the broadcast included ridicule, racism, and disparagement of appearance against certain people.

SNL Korea presented a comedy on last weekend's broadcast about New Jeans Hani's attendance at the parliamentary audit and Han Kang's Nobel Prize in literature.

However, it was pointed out that the actor, who played the role of New Jeans Hani, was an excessive caricature, describing Hani's Korean tone in a vague manner and parodying the so-called "National Assembly Selfie" scene, which was criticized.

In addition, when expressing the writer Han Kang, he used a relaxed tone, with his eyes open, his posture cringing, and his reaction is that he was uncomfortable to watch.

On the other hand, there is also a dissenting position. Comedy should be viewed as a comedy, and I thought it was cool because he was good at copying his speech and appearance, but I didn't think it was mockery. There are opinions such as that.

◇ Profit line: There was also a big fire over the weekend. After all the fire crews worked together to prevent the damage from getting worse... By the way, the firemen's meal is only about 4,000 won per meal?

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: It has been controversial recently when the unit price of school meals for firefighters was known through broadcast programs, parliamentary inspection, and online posts.

When I looked at it to some extent, a fire station in Daegu was 3,100 won, South Gyeongsang Province was 3,800 won, and North Jeolla Province was 3,900 won. In addition, there was no significant difference in Seoul, Gangwon, Jeonnam, and Ulsan at 4,000 won.

Due to this situation, it is estimated that there are many places that cannot hire nutritionists or operate poorly without a diet chart.

There are some places that hire cooks at the expense, and even if it's not smooth, some places order delivery food or pack their own lunch boxes.

Perhaps the scene that many people remember is a firefighter trying to extinguish the fire overnight and trying to appease hunger with cup noodles while covered in soot. That scene was during the fire at the used car complex in Busan in 2015. Ten years later, the same point is still being made.

◇ Choi Soo-young: So the National Fire Agency decided to improve the school lunch environment in the future?

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: Yes. The National Fire Agency held a "Central-City Fire Policy Coordination Meeting" to check the related status.

Currently, budget support varies from city to city and province, and the National Fire Agency said it will clarify the unit price of meals per person and drinking water standards for field members. I'm just saying that I'm going to make a guideline.

In addition, we will hold regular meetings every month in the future to share ways to improve the various issues raised.

No specific plan has come out immediately, but I hope practical measures will be prepared this time.

◇ Lee Ik-seon: I've been keeping you updated on autumn baseball, but the Korean series finally begins today.

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: Yes. In the end, the first and second teams in the regular season will face off. It's Kia and Samsung. Since it is a traditional rivalry and the Korean Series will meet for the first time in 31 years since 1993, both teams have predicted a match without concessions.

First of all, if you look at the regular league showdown this season, Kia leads with 12 wins and 4 losses. However, Kia had the most errors among the 10 clubs, and Samsung had the least. In a big game, one error can overturn the result of the game, so who makes fewer mistakes will also be a point to watch.

Kia has another unique record. He has not lost a single Korean series so far and won all 11 times. However, Samsung is fighting back, saying, "The record is to be broken." It is said that the winning team of Game 1 has a 71.4% chance of winning the Korean Series. The Most Important Game 1! It will be held at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field, Kia's home stadium, at 6:30 p.m. today.

◇ Choi Soo-young: I'm looking forward to the competition between a tiger and a lion. But even before entering the Korean Series, there is also news that the 'Autumn Baseball Revenue' has exceeded the highest amount ever?

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: Yes. This season is on an all-time high as we face the era of 10 million spectators for the first time ever. "Autumn Baseball" also filled two wild card games and five semi-playoffs, and the playoff was held until Game 4, exceeding 10.4 billion won in admission income from 11 games alone.

So far, the largest entry income for autumn baseball has been 10.39 billion won in 15 games, including the Korean Series in 2012. He broke this record even before he started Game 1 of the Korean Series.

If the match between Kia and Samsung continues for a long time, it could exceed 15 billion won.

According to the league regulations, admission income will be given 20% to Kia, the No. 1 team in the league, excluding all expenses, and the remaining 80% will be distributed in the order of 50% for the Korean Series winning team, 24% for the runner-up team, 14% for LG who lost the playoffs, 9% for KT who lost the semi-playoff, and 3% for Doosan who lost the wild card match.

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

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: Yes, thank you.
