[Start briefing] "Family even if you don't get married"... Like Jung Woo Sung's son, 10,000 people were born outside of marriage.

On Tuesday, November 26th, the start briefing will begin.

First of all, it's the Seoul Shimbun.

His son's biological father, who was recently revealed by model Moon Gabi, is known as actor Jung Woo-sung. It is said that there are no plans to marry, but there are more than 10,000 "out-of-wedlock babies," such as the case of two sons. Before giving birth without marriage, Jung Woo-sung and Mun Ga-bi, Japanese broadcaster Sayuri opened the door for social discussions. He actively revealed the life of a single mother by appearing on parenting entertainment shows with his child. Regardless of marriage, more and more families have children and raise them. Last year, there were 10,900 children born outside of marriage. It has increased by 1,100 from the previous year and has been on the rise for three consecutive years. It accounts for 4.7% of all births, which is the highest ever. This is lower than the OECD average out-of-wedlock birth rate of 41.5%. But at least it means that the definition of family is changing in Korean society. In fact, two out of five young people in their 20s said they could have children without getting married. Some say that laws and systems are needed to recognize and support various types of families such as unmarried childbirth. The newspaper also published an expert opinion that once born, children should be supported without discrimination, and that it is time for Korea to accept unmarried childbirth.

This is the next Hankook Ilbo.

Colatech, which was a youth facility until the 1990s, became a middle-aged playground. Over time, it has become a meeting place and playground for the elderly. However, it is gradually disappearing because the recession has lost steam. Let's go to a colatech in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul. The admission fee is only 1,000 won. It's 2,000 won on weekends. It is a price that is not burdensome for elderly people with light pockets to gather in groups. Although alcohol and food cannot be sold at Colatech, many places have registered the space outside the dance hall as a restaurant business. Restaurant meals are also cheaper than the prices these days. So it's a kind of 'elderly multiplex' where you can eat, dance, and socialize. However, after COVID-19, colatechs began to close one by one. It was 502 in 2019, but it decreased to 418 last year. It was hit hard by the suspension of business at the time of COVID-19, and it also overlapped with a long-term economic downturn. It is difficult to say that fixed expenses such as rent and management expenses alone are 32 million won, but the monthly income is only 12 million won. The newspaper also reports interviews with senior citizens, "The elderly facilities are boring because the same program is repeated every time, but Colatech is different" and "It's the joy of my life," and expert interviews that the elderly need a space where they can enjoy a wider variety of leisure activities.

Next is Kyunghyang Shinmun.

There is a place where thousands of people gather a day in a traditional market that used to be less than 30 visitors a day. It is a permanent market in Yesan-gun, Chungcheongnam-do. However, rent has soared more than five times in a year and a half. Existing merchants are appealing, saying, "I can't stand it and close the business," so look at what happened to the budget market. In April last year, the budget market reopened as a regional win-win project between Jongwon Baek Durbon Korea CEO and Yesan County. It is said that the number of empty stores and commercial buildings is increasing because rents have risen so much. It is a typical gentrification in which outsiders flow in as the old city's underdeveloped areas are activated, and the rent rises and indigenous people are pushed out. CEO Baek recently said, "I'm sick and tired of it. We can move the entire market," he said. Then how serious is the rent increase problem? The store, which used to be 500 deposit and 30 monthly rent, jumped to 1000 and 200. The price per pyeong soared to 40 million won. The problem is that the Commercial Lease Protection Act does not work well even if you are asked to leave after raising the rent. Since it's a community with a lot of relatives, they can't even complain because they're wary of it. To make matters worse, there are many customers who say, "The food doesn't taste the same as before" and "I don't think I'll ever visit again." An elementary school student took a picture of Baek's standing board and said, "Mom, did you come all the way here to take a picture after eating this? He said, "We have to wait and see what the fate of the budget market will be like.

This is the last Dong-A Ilbo.

There are local residents who suffer every day on the South Korean Broadcasting System, which has been running for four months. They are residents of border areas such as Ganghwa, Incheon, and Paju, Gyeonggi-do, and let's listen to their stories. Once the South Korean broadcast starts, it takes 30 minutes at the most or two hours at the most. The entire village is surrounded by noise mixed with all kinds of sounds, and residents complain of pain. Even if you put 5cm Styrofoam on the window, you can hear the buzzing sound, and you can't sleep without sleeping pills. The head of a village suddenly looked blurry in front of his eyes, so when he went to the hospital, he said he had a stressful visual neurological disorder. Some residents are worried about moving because they can't hear the TV inside the house and can't even open the windows in midsummer, so they have to drink and fall asleep. Some students leave their exercise and fall asleep with earphones on every dawn. Residents are voicing their voices to the government, saying they can't live anymore. It is to ban the spraying of leaflets to North Korea and to come up with practical measures to prevent noise. It is also asking for a law to compensate for damage, like the Special Act on Support for Five Islands in the West Sea.

I looked at the newspaper on the morning of November 26.

This has been the start briefing.
