The Korea Post notices:
During the tour of Handong Global Univesity:
Professor Kim Soon-kwon (AKA ‘Maize Doctor’) will welcome and greet Your Excellency with a gift box of ‘Kim Soon-kwon Maize’ which is famous around the world as well as in Korea for the sweet taste of each grain even without cooking. (Further details on Dr. Kim, who is a member of the faculty of Handong Global University, are on Wikipedia [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Soon-kwon).
Also, as was previously introduced, there will be a special welcome by Mayor Lee Kang-duk of the Pohang City
(http://eng.ipohang.org/site/eng/office/mayor/greetings/), who will introduce Pohang, Korea’s ‘high-tech industry city’
(http://eng.ipohang.org/site/eng/introduction/global/hightech/index.html).
Only nine days left to the Tour:
There are only 9 days left to the Tour of the Handong Global University, POSCO Museum and Yeongil-dae Pavilion on Thursday 11 June 2015. Located in Pohang near POSCO, Handong University has incomparably outstanding features clearly telling it apart from other universities in Seoul and other regions, including an unrivalled long list of attractive scholarships and financial support for the Korean and international students. Deluxe KTX Train is used between Seoul and Pohang.
The Korea Post has already forward the Invitation of Soon-Heung Chang of Handong University to Your Excellency and Madam.
In case of our transmission failture, please advise us at 2298-1740/2, 1745/6 or 010-3388-1682 (Korean) or 010-3481-1101 (English), or 5201-1740 (Chairman Lee of The Korea Post).
-------------------------------------------
Handong Global University stands out with many distinguishing features
An unrivaled long string of scholarships, financial assistance
Most of the high school graduates and their parents in Korea tend to insist on winning matriculation ‘at all cost’ at Seoul National University or other ‘prestigious’ universities in Seoul such as Yonsei, Korea, Ewha (for women), Sogang and a number of others.
However, closely examining other universities in Korea, such as those in different localities out of the capital city, one is appalled at the outstanding features of other universities in various localities, which stand out in various aspects.
For further details, please visit: /news/view.html?section=162&category=184&no=947

of Handong Global University.

Today’s humor:
Hankuk Kyungje
The woman had always wanted to play piano, so her husband bought her one for her birthday.
A few weeks later, her son called and asked how she was doing.
“We returned the piano,” said his dad. “I persuaded her to switch to a clarinet.”
“Why?” the son asked.
“Because,” the father explained, “with a clarinet, she can’t sing along.”

S. Korea and Japan hold first Defense Ministers talk in four years
How is it possible to guarantee the Japan Self-Defense Forces (JSDF) will not infringe South Korean sovereignty while exercising collective self-defense authority around the Korean Peninsula? It’s a question that has emerged in South Korea in the wake of the recent amendment of the US-Japan defense cooperation guidelines.
US Defense Secretary apologizes for shipment of live anthrax to S. Korea
US Defense Secretary Ashton Carter made an official apology for the delivery of live anthrax to the Osan Air Force Base, which is operated by US forces in South Korea. But since Carter offered no explanation of why or how the incident had occurred, some are claiming that the apology was insincere. .
Police arrest man who burned S. Korean flag at Sewol protest
The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency (SMPA) requested an arrest warrant on May 31 for a 24-year-old who burned a piece of paper showing an image of the South Korean flag while facing off with police who had erected a vehicle barricade at a memorial demonstration for the first anniversary of the Sewol ferry sinking. The individual, identified by the surname Kim, is being charged with flag desecration. .
Evidence of a cover-up in case of anthrax sample at US military base in S. Korea
US Forces Korea (USFK) tried to restore calm by claiming that the anthrax experiment connected with the accidental delivery of live anthrax was taking place “for the first time.” But with evidence surfacing that US forces have been operating an anthrax laboratory in South Korea for more than 17 years, there is criticism that the US was trying to sweep the incident under the rug. .
Case of live anthrax on US military base raises questions of revising Status of Forces Agreement
After live anthrax was mistakenly delivered to the Osan Air Force Base, which is operated by US Forces Korea (USFK), there is increasing pressure to revise the US-South Korea Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA), which currently allows the US to bring hazardous materials into South Korea without notifying the South Korean government. .
S. Korea, US and Japan to hold trilateral defense talks at Shangri-La Dialogue
South Korea, the US, and Japan are organizing working-level discussions to review and prevent possible infringement of the Korean Peninsula’s sovereignty by the Japan Self-Defense Forces’ (JSDF) exercise of collective self-defense, sources said. Meanwhile, the issue of anthrax testing by USFK is slated for emergency discussion at talks scheduled for May 30 between the South Korean and US defense ministers. .
Smoke at Kori reactor the latest case of danger at a nuclear plant

The latest episode occurred at around 7:54 pm on May 28, when 25 fire trucks from the Busan Metropolitan City Fire Safety Headquarters were sent in after smoke was discovered in the third-floor air compressor room in the turbine building for Reactor 2.The trucks immediately returned to their base after the smoke was found to have been controlled by the plant’s own firefighting personnel, who had been first to discover it.
