[Anchor]
On Tuesday, December 17, the start briefing will begin.

First, it's the Kookmin Ilbo.

From the declaration of martial law to the passing of the impeachment bill to the aftermath, many people will have turned on TV news for about two weeks. As a result, OTT's viewing time has decreased one after another. The newspaper put it this way. OTT companies slowed down in front of the impeachment of martial law, which was a more wonderful series of realities than dramas. In the first week of December, the total viewing time of all five major OTT companies was reduced. Instead, viewers are believed to have moved to the news channel. Netflix, the No. 1 player in the industry, saw a 4% decrease from the previous week. It is said that the watching time of TVing, which had been on a roll through professional baseball broadcasts, reached its lowest level this year. It is said that it is the first time since the end of the pandemic that the viewing time of major OTT companies has fallen at the same time. However, many people were looking for martial law, coup-based dramas, and movies provided by OTT. As the passing of the impeachment motion has resolved some of the instability, the OTT industry is aiming to recover viewing time. We plan to promote large-scale new works such as Netflix's Squid Game 2, which will be released on the 26th.

Next is the Dong-A Ilbo.

Last year, 34,000 people bought a house by breaking the retirement pension. Most of those who withdrew their retirement pensions in the middle of breaking their retirement funds aimed to raise housing funds. Let me take a closer look at the contents. Let's look at the reason for the withdrawal of retirement pension first. 52.7 percent is for the purpose of buying a house. The purpose of renting a house, or making a deposit for lump-sum housing lease, is 27.5%. In other words, 8 out of 10 people have broken their retirement pensions to raise housing funds. 63,783 people withdrew their retirement pensions last year. It has been decreasing since 2019, but it has increased again. Both the number of people and the amount of withdrawal reached an all-time high. By age, the most common people were in their 30s and 40s who started to buy their own houses in earnest. a situation in which high interest rates are lengthening It can be interpreted that more people are dealing with retirement pensions than commercial bank loans with high interest rates. However, the newspaper also reports that if real estate prices fall, they could fall into a financial crisis after retirement.

Next is the Chosun Ilbo.

The red post box has changed in 40 years. It was reborn in an era when handwritten letters disappeared. It is said that it transforms into a multi-purpose container so that one side can deliver parcels and the other side can protect the environment. Looking at the history of the post box, I can see traces of history. It was 1984 that the red post box that we are familiar with appeared. There was an existing mailbox with two entrances, but it was for mail classification. Now, an eco-postbox has been introduced that is in charge of both 'receiving mail parcels' and 'receiving waste items'. On the left, you can put not only mail but also small packages. The right side is for waste medicine and waste coffee capsules collection.You can put the
waste medicine in a regular bag. However, it is said that only aluminum capsules excluding beans should be put in a dedicated bag. Handwritten letters are disappearing, but the postbox has been transformed and continues to live. More than 90 new eco-postboxes will be installed in Seoul by the end of this year.

This is the last Hankook Ilbo.

It's a red flag for the health of Korean children and adolescents. Studies have shown that obesity and diabetes are increasing among children and adolescents, and Korea ranked first among the four countries in Northeast Asia. As of 2022, let's look at the prevalence of overweight and obesity among Korean children and adolescents. It was 43% for boys and 24.6% for girls. Compared to Taiwan, China, and Japan, it was the highest. In particular, Korean students are said to have the most "weight polarization." This means that normal weight and overweight have decreased, and underweight and obese groups have increased. So the normal weight ratio is also the lowest among the four Northeast Asian countries. The increase in obesity in children and adolescents is more worrisome because it leads to complications such as high blood pressure and diabetes. With the COVID-19 epidemic, the number of diabetic patients in children and adolescents has increased 1.2 to 1.4 times. The severity has also increased. Diabetes is a scary disease that requires lifelong management, so a healthy lifestyle is more important than anything else. Avoid flour and instant foods as much as possible because they raise blood sugar quickly. It is better to plan a diet focusing on complex carbohydrates, unsaturated fatty acids, and fiber than refined carbohydrates. Parents who are worried about their children's weight should refer to it when preparing breakfast this morning.

I looked at the newspaper on the morning of December 17th.

This has been the start briefing.
