On Monday, November 25, the start briefing will begin.

First, it's the Kookmin Ilbo.

How many packages do you order a week? There were more than 100 cases of parcel delivery per person per year. Since it can be returned and delivered free of charge, they will make an impulse purchase and send one out of 10 back. Let's see how many people order in Korea, a delivery republic. In 2020 alone, there were about 65 cases of using parcel delivery per person per year. Since then, it has increased steeply every year and has exceeded 100 cases in three years. As the accessibility to returns improves, there are many cases of buying and seeing them first. In fact, home shopping return rates are also steadily increasing. The average return rate last year was 11.9%, which means 12 out of 100 returns. It is predicted that the return rate will reach 20-30% if the scope is expanded to e-commerce. But is free return really good for consumers? Fast delivery, free return competition and rising parcel logistics costs could eventually return to the boomerang of rising consumer prices, the paper notes.

Next is the Chosun Ilbo.

Sad statistics showed that 20% of the unemployed in Korea are Generation Z. Companies reject new employees, saying, "Those in their 20s have no experience." People in their 20s are in a position to compete with the 50s and 60s retirement generation even for non-regular jobs. Even if you submit your resume countless times, it's really not easy to get over the employment threshold. The ratio of unemployed people in their 20s has been No. 1 in the OECD for three years due to prolonged low economic growth. The number of employed people in their 20s has decreased for five consecutive quarters, and the number of new jobs in their 20s is the lowest ever. Generation Z was directly hit by the job shortage. They are the generation who became college students or started preparing for employment at a time when COVID-19 was spreading. Certificate exams were postponed one after another, and hiring corporate interns was drastically reduced. There are limited opportunities to build a 'spec'. On top of that, self-employed people have reduced their employees all at once since COVID-19. It has become difficult to find non-regular workers such as part-time jobs. In addition, they have to compete with those in their 5s and 60s who want to re-employment after retirement. Combining these complex factors, one in five unemployed people is a young man in his late 20s. Experts are concerned about the emergence of a "corona generation" that is frustrating in the job market and increasingly dissatisfied with society.

Next, Kyunghyang Shinmun.

The latest version of ChatGPT solved the Korean language section of this CSAT and only got 1 wrong. It's the first grade without difficulty, so let's see what the secret is. The CEO of the startup, who lets AI take the test and then releases the score, said this. It's because I went through a chain of thought, which I think carefully about. Previously, when I asked them to solve the same problem, they went through grades 4 to 8, but it is a rapid improvement in grades. The Korean language area can only be solved by understanding the context of the text and making logical reasoning. That's why it's more difficult for AI to solve than other tests. However, the latest AI models go through the stages of contemplating various answers and choosing one of them. My reasoning ability got a lot better as I pondered my thoughts. AI is rapidly spreading in the field of education. But even if we can use AI, it's the students who have to solve the problem in the end. The newspaper points out that students should develop critical reading skills instead of blindly trusting the answers given by AI.

Next is the Seoul Shimbun.

A simple augmented reality walking game is popular these days, did you know that? 1030 is attracted to 'harmless', harmless things, let's see what it says. In a few steps, the character in the game is born on the ground with a long bud tied to his head. It feels like taking a walk with a pet and is popular among teenagers and 30s because it is an exercise. Recently, the number of weekly active users has been more than 400,000. At the end of last month, it was ranked No. 1 in popular games on the Google Play Store. What's the background of its popularity? Young people who are tired of conflict and competition in their daily lives are attracted to harmless characters and healed.In addition, in the health care craze, a simple way to walk is one of the secrets of popularity. Some say it's a mild version of "Pokemon Go". Analysts say that the charm is that you can easily immerse yourself in and relieve stress without much pressure.

Let's look at the last article.

Not long ago, you may have heard the news that the 'strongest cold wave' will come this winter. However, recently, the opposite prediction came out that 'hot winter' would come. It will be warmer than usual from next month to February next year. This fall was also hot, so I'll find out why. This is the view of a park in Pohang, North Gyeongsang Province. It's a picture from yesterday, and the maximum temperature was 14 degrees. It's late November, and I can see you wearing short sleeves. The reason why winter is expected to be hotter than usual following autumn is because of the 'hot sea' and the high pressure generated by it. High sea surface temperatures in the Northwest Pacific cause high pressure around our country. As this high pressure plays a role in preventing the continental cold wave, the temperature rises relatively. There was also a specific forecast for this winter's temperature. The probability of being similar or higher than the average 30-year average temperature is 70% in December and 80% in January and February next year. Hot winter comes after hot autumn, but the temperature drops sharply after it rains tomorrow. It's a little cold on the way to work, so please dress warmly and go to work.

I looked at the newspaper on the morning of November 25th.

This has been the start briefing.
