◆ Hello!

◇ Lee Ik-seon: First news. Last month, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism announced the interim results for the Badminton Association, which was followed by the final results today?

◆ [Lee Hyun-woong] That's right. First, I pointed out the violation of the subsidy law. It is a suspicion that Kim Taek-gyu, the president of the association, distributed sponsored items arbitrarily after receiving them, that is, the "Payback Suspicion."

In addition, I believe that signing a private contract worth 2.6 billion won with a sponsor over the past two years violated the subsidy law. He demanded the dismissal of Chairman Kim Taek-gyu by holding him accountable for this, and decided to request a police investigation on charges of embezzlement and breach of trust.

Meanwhile, as the investigation began with Ahn Se-young's revelation, there were also comments on improving player management.

The system will be reorganized to allow personal trainers and expand the choice of items such as racquets and shoes used by players.

In addition, he said he would increase the national team's coaching staff from the current 13 to 20 to conduct training tailored to each characteristic of singles and doubles. He also said he would allow players to go out and stay out on weekends or holidays in principle, and conduct regular monitoring of internal irregularities.

He also strongly warned that if the association does not change this time, it will not be able to self-purify and push for special measures such as designating a management organization that dismisses all executives of the association and suspending budget support.

◇ Choi Soo-young: Let's take a look at the economic news, too. Samsung Electronics' third quarter confirmed results were announced today, right?

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: Yes. Samsung Electronics said today that its sales and operating profit reached KRW 79.987 trillion and KRW 9.1834 trillion on a consolidated basis in the third quarter. Sales and operating profit rose 17.4% and 277.4% year-over-year, but they fell short of market expectations.

The most notable part of the market was the performance of the device solution division, which is also in charge of the semiconductor business. Sales were 29.2 trillion won and operating profit was 3.9 trillion won. The shock continued as it was compared to SK Hynix's operating profit of more than 7 trillion won.

Meanwhile, Samsung Electronics' performance is compared not only with SK Hynix but also with TSMC, which showed an earnings surprise. In 1993, Lee Kun-hee, chairman of the party's predecessor, convened more than 200 executives and said, "If you don't change, you will forever be a second-rate or a second-rate or a second-rate or a second-rate, and you will be a first-rate 1.5 at best, as you are now. Let's change myself first. There is a series of criticisms that we should reflect on 'Let's change everything'.

◇ Profit line: But in the conference call, there was a statement that meant Nvidia quality certification?

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: Yes. Kim Jae-joon, Vice President of Memory Business, said he has secured significant progress in completing critical steps in quality testing for major customers.

He also said that HBM3E's sales are expected to expand during the fourth quarter. This has passed the Nvidia quality test, and some analysts say that Nvidia may actually start delivering within the fourth quarter.

If we succeed in delivering Nvidia, which is the most comparable to SK Hynix and the cause of the difference in performance, we can wash away the concerns. Samsung Electronics shares have rebounded with this message and are trading above 60,000 won today.

◇ Choi Soo-young: Tensions are rising as North Korea launches long-range ballistic missiles today, but a group of abductees planned to send leaflets to the North and canceled it?

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: Yes. A group of abductees, the Association of Families of abductees, announced at 11 a.m. today that it will distribute leaflets to North Korea at the Korean War abductees Memorial in Paju, Gyeonggi Province.

Then, residents and civic groups also announced a rally, saying they were against it. As I told you earlier, nearby residents are now complaining that North Korea's loudspeakers in the South make it difficult to live and make a living. As sending leaflets to North Korea could make this situation more serious, they also dragged tractors and expressed their intention to strongly deter it.

Police have put hundreds of careers on the scene to prevent clashes between the two sides. Special judicial police and special judicial police were also deployed and a bus barrier was built between the two sides.

From 10 a.m. today, the two sides continued to rally, explaining why leaflets are needed and against North Korea. Some police cordons were pushed or some people crossed to the opposition rally site, but most were stopped by the police, and no further direct clashes took place.

And at the subsequent press conference of the abductees group, he said today that he will cancel the distribution of leaflets to North Korea and plan to push for it again soon.

He also said that if North Korea flies trash balloons with South Korean broadcasts, he will continue to try to distribute leaflets to the North.

◇ Lee Ik-seon: We also look at the sad news of the accident. An elementary school student was run over and killed by a garbage truck in an apartment complex?

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: Yes. It happened yesterday at an apartment complex in Gwangju. Isn't there a garbage dump inside the apartment complex? When the time comes, a collection vehicle comes in and carries it. Yesterday, a five-ton domestic waste transport vehicle came into the complex for collection. And in the process of settling down, I came up to the sidewalk and reversed, but the driver did not see an approaching elementary school student, so the accident occurred.

The elementary school student was on his way home from school, and he was reported to have died at the scene after being seriously injured.

According to what is known so far, the driver was riding alone without a passenger. It is known that it is not drunk driving, and carelessness is suspected.

Under the Waste Management Act, in principle, household waste disposal companies should work in groups of three to prevent safety accidents. However, blind spots have been pointed out because it does not stipulate specific safety management obligations.

In addition, it is known that the company to which the accident driver belongs is a re-subcontracting company. Therefore, it is pointed out that there is a high possibility that proper work rules or safety management training has not been provided.

Residents who visited the accident site are expressing their sorrow by leaving chrysanthemum flowers and snacks, and the police are currently investigating the exact circumstances of the accident by charging the driver with death under the Special Act on the Handling of Traffic Accidents.

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

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: Yes, thank you.
