LG AI Research Institute launched to secure latest artificial intelligence tech
LG has established its artificial intelligence think tank, called LG AI Research Institute, on Dec. 7.
The group opened the era of AI leaders born in the 1970s by recruiting Lee Hong-rak, a 43-year-old professor at the University of Michigan, as a C-level official and appointing Bae Kyung-hoon, a 44-year-old executive, as its head.
LG AI Research Institute is an organization dedicated to AI that secures the latest AI source technology and solves AI challenges at the group level. Sixteen affiliates, including LG Electronics, LG Display, LG Chem, LG U+, and LG CNS, will participate and invest about 200 billion won ($185 million) in LG AI Research Institute's global talent acquisition and AI R&D over the next three years.
GC says, ‘A man was cured after receiving GC's COVID-19 blood treatment’
GC (Green Cross) said on Dec. 6 that there has been a case of complete recovery after administering COVID-19 blood treatment developed by GC.
The company said that a man in his 70s, who was confirmed to be COVID-19, was completely cured after receiving GC's blood treatment "GC5131A" at Kyungpook National University Hospital in Chilgok in September.
GC has developed a blood treatment called "GC5131A" that divides immune-natured antibodies from the plasma of COVID-19 cured patients and is conducting clinical two-phase tests on patients with high-risk groups.
KEPCO says, ‘UAE nuclear reactor unit 1 reaches 100 % of its output’
KEPCO said on Dec. 8 that UAE Barakah Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1 has reached 100 percent of its output on Dec. 7, 2020 and is set to operate commercial operation next year.
Barakah Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1 has been conducting power-up tests by gradually increasing the reactor power since its initial criticality was achieved on July 31.
“It is currently in the process of conducting tests on plant control and safety systems at 100% reactor power status and checking whether it meets UAE regulatory requirements and world-class safety and quality standards,” a KEPCO spokesman said.

N. Korean Leader's Sister Criticizes S. Korean Foreign Minister over COVID-19 Remarks
The sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has criticized South Korea's foreign minister over her recent remarks on the North's antivirus measures, calling them "reckless."
Last week, Seoul's Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha told a Middle East forum in Bahrain that the North has been unresponsive to Seoul's offer of assistance for the North's antivirus efforts. She added that North Korea is focusing on the control of COVID-19 while claiming it has no cases, which is a bit strange.
In a statement carried by the North's official Korean Central News Agency(KCNA) on Wednesday, Kim Yo-jong said that Kang's thoughtless remarks on the North's antivirus measures seemed to indicate she is eager to further chill the frozen inter-Korean relations.
US Slaps N. Korea-related Sanctions on 6 Entities, 4 Vessels
The United States on Tuesday imposed sanctions on six entities and four vessels for their alleged involvement in the transport of North Korean coal.
The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control announced that it has designated six entities and identified four vessels related to the transport of North Korean coal.
The six new entities include trading or shipping companies based in the North's capital city Pyongyang, China, Hong Kong and Vietnam.
Biegun to Hold Talks with S. Korean Officials
U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Stephen Biegun is set to hold talks with South Korean officials in Seoul on Wednesday to discuss North Korea issues.
According to the Foreign Ministry, Biegun will meet with his South Korean counterpart Vice Foreign Minister Choi Jong-kun on Wednesday morning.
Biegun, who also serves as the U.S. Special Representative for North Korea, is set to meet with Seoul's chief nuclear negotiator Lee Do-hoon in the afternoon. The two will have dinner after talks.

Yonhap (http://english.yonhapnews.co.kr)
U.S. imposes sanctions on 6 entities, 4 vessels related to N. Korea
The United States on Tuesday named six new entities and four vessels subject to sanctions imposed on North Korea.
"Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) designated six entities and identified four vessels related to the transport of North Korean coal," the department said in a press release.
"The DPRK continues to circumvent the UN prohibition on the exportation of coal, a key revenue generator that helps fund its weapons of mass destruction programs," Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin was quoted as saying, referring to North Korea by its official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
N.K. leader's sister says S. Korean FM will 'pay dearly' for remarks on COVID-19
North Korean leader's sister Kim Yo-Jong on Wednesday slammed South Korea's foreign minister over her recent remarks on Pyongyang's antivirus measures, saying that she will "pay dearly" for them and warning the already frozen inter-Korean relations could get worse.
Last week, South Korea's Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha told a forum in Bahrain that the North has been unresponsive to Seoul's calls for cross-border antivirus cooperation, adding that Pyongyang's claim that it has no coronavirus cases is hard to believe.
"It can be seen from the reckless remarks made by her without any consideration of the consequences that she is too eager to further chill the frozen relations between the north and south of Korea," Kim said in a statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
Biegun to hold talks with S. Korean counterparts on stalled N.K. diplomacy, alliance
U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Stephen Biegun was set to hold talks with his South Korean counterparts in Seoul on Wednesday, with alliance cooperation and stalled nuclear diplomacy with North Korea likely to top their agenda.
Biegun, who doubles as Washington's point man on Pyongyang, arrived in South Korea on Tuesday for what could be his last visit here in his current capacity, as Seoul seeks to reignite its lackluster peace drive when the incoming Joe Biden administration takes office next year.
Striking a jarring note hours ahead of Biegun's talks with Seoul officials, Kim Yo-jong, the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, rebuked Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha's recent remarks on the North's COVID-19 situation and warned she might have to "pay dearly for it."

The Korea Herald (http://www.koreaherald.com)
S. Korea says will secure COVID-19 vaccines for 44 million people
The South Korean government said Tuesday it has agreed to buy 64 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines, unveiling for the first time which and how many doses of vaccines the country intends to use.
Minister of Health and Welfare Park Neung-hoo said at a news conference Tuesday that Korea has prepurchased 20 million doses of vaccine from AstraZeneca, with deals for a further 44 million doses “now in the final stages” with Pfizer, Moderna and Janssen.
Pfizer and Moderna have each committed to supply Korea with 20 million doses of their vaccines, and Janssen 4 million doses, the minister said, with other details still being finalized.
NK leader's sister says S. Korean FM will 'pay dearly' for remarks on COVID-19
North Korean leader's sister Kim Yo-Jong on Wednesday slammed South Korea's foreign minister over her recent remarks on Pyongyang's antivirus measures, saying that she will "pay dearly" for them and warning the already frozen inter-Korean relations could get worse.
Last week, South Korea's Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha told a forum in Bahrain that the North has been unresponsive to Seoul's calls for cross-border antivirus cooperation, adding that Pyongyang's claim that it has no coronavirus cases is hard to believe.
"It can be seen from the reckless remarks made by her without any consideration of the consequences that she is too eager to further chill the frozen relations between the north and south of Korea," Kim said in a statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
Moon says trans-Pacific trade pact will be considered
President Moon Jae-in said Tuesday that the government will consider joining the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership as part of its drive to expand the country’s free trade partners.
Speaking at a ceremony to mark the 57th Trade Day, Moon said the government will expand South Korea’s free trade network to prepare the country for increasing competition, and that the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership remains an option.
“Joining the CPTPP will continue to be reviewed. In addition, (Korea will) proactively take part in discussions for reviving free trade and multilateralism and to lower trade barriers in international communities such as the WTO and G20,” Moon said, adding that his administration will seek to expand Korea’s network of free trade agreements.

Some unethical religious leaders spark cynicism
Religious leaders, together with faith-based organizations, have occasionally become caught in an expectation game. They're expected by the public to play the role of a guiding light, especially when things are difficult, such as during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
However, the reality is that religious leaders becoming a source of comfort for pandemic-weary people seems to be no more than wishful thinking. Some religious leaders have ignited the wrath of the public for living far more materialistic lives than those of their followers.
Ven. Haemin found himself in the spotlight again recently for his questionable financial activities.
US Forces Korea under fire for 'no-mask' party
The United States Forces Korea (USFK) has come under fire for a party which took place at a restaurant on its base main where the owners and patrons ignored the Korean government's social distancing rules banning large gatherings and requiring people to wear masks.
According to news reports, Tuesday, the Flightline Tap Room, a restaurant at U.S. Army Garrison (USAG) Humphreys in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province, held a dance party, Dec. 4, at which many of the participants were wearing masks improperly or not at all, according to photos and videos of the party uploaded on social media.
Following media attention on the no-mask party, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs requested the USFK to follow the country's social distancing guidelines. The Humphreys website said the venue has been closed until further notice.
No. of multicultural households on steady increase in Korea
The number of multicultural households has been on the steady increase here, reaching 354,000 in 2019, up from 335,000 in 2018, Statistics Korea said Tuesday. This was a further jump from 319,000 in 2017 and 316,000 in 2016. Of them, the number of single-person households with multiracial background reached 42,000 in 2019, accounting for 11.9 percent of total multicultural households in Korea, and down from 43,000 in 2018.
The number of two-person and three-person multicultural households have been on a steady rise over the past few years, contrasted by a decline in the number of single-person households and households with four members or more. Overall, the number of multiracial families is climbing.
The statistics agency said that this can be attributed to an increase in the number of divorces and separation of family members and children leaving after reaching a certain age for reasons including education and marriage.

HanKyoReh Shinmun (http://english.hani.co.kr)
Moon apologizes to public for “political chaos,” stresses importance of prosecutorial reform
South Korean President Moon Jae-in offered an apology to the public for the recent political chaos. He also emphasized the importance of reforming the country’s law enforcement agencies and emphasized the urgency of launching an independent office for investigating corruption by high-ranking officials. Moon appears to have been motivated by growing public fatigue about the drive for prosecutorial reform. That fatigue has been aggravated by a feud between Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae and Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-youl, which has intensified even as Korea has been pounded by a third wave of COVID-19.
“As president, I feel very sorry that the public has been troubled by this chaotic political situation at a time when we should all be coming together to fight the disease and support the public livelihood,” Moon said while presiding over a meeting of his senior secretaries and aides at the Blue House on Dec. 7.
Korean medical system facing shortage of hospital space amid third wave
South Korea reported 615 new cases of COVID-19 on Dec. 7, posting more than 600 cases for the second day in a row. With the country grappling with its largest outbreak so far, the medical system is facing a shortage of hospital space.
A patient in the Seoul Capital Area (SCA) whose symptoms worsened was unable to be transferred to a different facility. In Gyeonggi Province, over 300 patients are still at home, waiting to be assigned hospital beds. Seoul has even decided to house COVID-19 patients in shipping containers set up in empty spaces on hospital premises.
Sources at Korea’s Central Disaster Management Headquarters (CDMH) and the National Medical Center told the Hankyoreh on Monday that the joint situation response room at the National Medical Center had been unable to process a transfer request received the previous evening for a COVID-19 patient with worsening symptoms. That was the first time that no hospital beds were available for critically ill patients in the SCA area since the third wave of the pandemic began.
S. Korea’s daily caseload may surpass 900 by next week, disease control authorities say
South Korea’s disease control authorities predict that South Korea’s daily caseload will exceed 900 next week unless they can suppress the current outbreak, which is concentrated in the Seoul Capital Area (SCA). As upgraded social distancing measures have had a limited impact, experts say the current wave of COVID-19 could last until next February.
The Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) reported 615 new cases on Dec. 7. That figure included 580 cases of community transmission and 35 cases imported from overseas. Of the new cases, 422 occurred in the SCA, marking the fifth consecutive day of Greater Seoul seeing more than 400 cases.
“Greater Seoul has already become a COVID-19 battleground. We’re currently facing a general crisis, and it’s difficult to gauge when the third wave will reach its peak” said Health Minister Park Neung-hoo, during a disease response meeting on Monday.

Travel Agencies Tap into Pent-up Demand for Release
Travel demand is pent-up and bursting for a release from coronavirus shackles, the latest figures suggest.
Very Good Tour, the fifth-largest travel agency in Korea, already started marketing overseas package tours on Nov. 23, when it was clear that a vaccine would only be a matter of time.
It accepts just W10,000 as a down payment, a mere 10 percent of what it used to ask for before the coronavirus pandemic, and was rewarded with no fewer than 10,600 reservations for some 400 package tours to Japan and Hong Kong in March 2021, Southeast Asia in April and the U.S. and Europe in June (US$1=W1,087).
Indonesia Dithers over Fighter Jet Project with Korea
Indonesia will reportedly buy dozens of Dassault Rafale fighter jets from France even though the Southeast Asian country is committed to a joint fighter development project with Korea.
But Indonesia has not paid its share in the KF-X fighter project for some time and appears to be getting cold feet.
French Defense Minister Florence Parly discussed bilateral cooperation in the defense industry with her Indonesian counterpart Prabowo Subianto over the phone on Nov. 26. French media reported that they discussed Indonesia's purchase of Rafales.
Gov't Gears up for Emergency Response to Coronavirus Spike
President Moon Jae-in on Monday called for more makeshift coronavirus test stations to open at night and on holiday and bigger drive-through test facilities amid a spike of infections as the weather gets colder.
They will open until 9 p.m. on weekdays and six p.m. on weekends.
Moon told officials to mobilize as much available personnel, including military troops and police officers, as support personnel. He made the remarks in a weekly meeting with top officials after the daily number of new cases surpassed 600 for two days in a row.

The Dong-A Ilbo (http://english.donga.com/)
N. Korea smuggled over $400 million worth of coal to China
North Korea is believed to have exported up to 401 million dollars worth of coal to China between January and September of this year despite UN sanctions banning North Korean coal exports. Experts point out that there are holes in the sanctions as North Korean vessels openly operated flying the North Korean flag.
The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) on Monday cited satellite images provided by the U.S. State Department showing that North Korean vessels have shipped hundreds of coal shipments to China’s Ningbo-Zhoushan area for the past year. More specifically, a satellite image taken on Aug. 12 showed four North Korea-flagged vessels anchoring off the Ningbo-Zhoushan area with Chinese ships, suggesting an illegal ship-to-ship transfer of coal.
Non-landing international flight programs to launch on Dec. 12
Asiana Airlines and Jeju Air will begin non-landing international tourism flights on Saturday. The non-landing flights are also called “flights without destination” since they fly into airspace after takeoff and return to the point of departure.
Asiana Airlines will fly A380 that will depart from Incheon International Airport on Saturday and pass through Busan en route to Miyazaki and head back to Incheon via Jeju Island. The airliner began the sales of air tickets on Monday. Jeju Air launched flight programs that depart from Incheon and pass through Fukuoka before heading back to Incheon. The flights will be operated on the 18th, 20th, 25th, 27th, and 31st of this month and the 2nd of January. Air Busan is planning to launch a similar program within this month and Korean Air is also reviewing the launch of the program.
Biden to appoint first African-American as defence secretary
U.S. President-elect Joe Biden has picked Lloyd Austin, a retired four-star army general, to be secretary of defense, according to U.S. media including New York Times. If confirmed by the Senate, Austin would be the first Black leader of the Pentagon.
Austin, who was born in Alabama in 1953, was the first African-American vice-chief of staff of the Army and commander of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM). As the commander of CENTCOM, he worked closely with then-Vice President Biden who was in charge of policies towards Iraq in the Barack Obama administration. Biden has been facing calls from Black voters who pushed him to the victory in the presidential race to nominate African-American people, which has made Austin a strong contender.

“When Applying for Menstrual Leave, Prove It” A Petition Against the National Health Insurance Service
A, a consultant at the National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) Customer Service Center came to work on October 14 and requested menstrual leave. The head of her team asked A to prove her period and said, “If you are in pain, then even if it’s menstrual pain, you should go to the hospital and see a doctor. In other companies, they even submit pictures of their sanitary napkins.” B, who works at the same call center sent a text message to the head of her team requesting menstrual leave before work on November 9. Her boss said that she couldn’t go on leave unless she filled out a form requesting leave and received his approval in advance. Eventually, B was reported as absent from work and was deducted ten points in her assessment card. Kim Suk-yeong, head of the NHIS Customer Service Center chapter of the Korean Public Service and Transport Workers’ Union, a branch of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions said, “If you receive a ‘nice call’ you get 0.1-0.5 points and that difference could determine your grade, leading to changes in your monthly salary. Ten points is so big, it is difficult to make up for the loss.”
The Korean Public Service and Transport Workers’ Union held a press conference in front of the National Human Rights Commission on December 7 and reported cases where the Gyeongin 3 Customer Service Center of the NHIS forced workers to prove their menstruation or to apply for leave in advance. The union argued, “Forcing the workers to prove their periods mentioning pictures of sanitary napkins is an invasion of privacy as well as a violation of their basic rights. It is sexual discrimination threatening the women’s right to reproduction and health.” Immediately after the conference, the union submitted a petition at the Human Rights Commission requesting corrections to the violation of the workers’ right to menstrual leave and to sexual discrimination.
The Corona Blues Hit Young People Hard: Suicidal Impulses Increased Tenfold
One out of four young people have considered suicide at least once since the COVID-19 outbreak, according to a survey. The figure was ten times higher than a survey conducted two years ago. People with less education, a smaller income, and who were unemployed were more likely to have suicidal thoughts. The level of depression among young people also intensified compared to pre-coronavirus days, raising an alarm on the mental health of young people. Experts said, “The impact that the novel coronavirus has had on the young people is bigger and not equal (compared with other generations),” and warned that society needed measures in various areas, such as jobs, education, housing and finance as well as mental health for the next two years when COVID-19 is expected to continue.
On December 7, the Kyunghyang Shinmun obtained a report on the impact of COVID-19 on the transition path of young people, written by experts commissioned by the Seoul Youth Guarantee Center (Center). This was the first comprehensive study of various fields on the topic of COVID-19 and young people.
The Bosingak Bell Will Not Ring This New Year’s Eve for the First Time in 67 Years
After considering the COVID-19 situation, the city of Seoul decided not to organize the New Year’s Eve bell-ringing ceremony at Bosingak in Jongno-2-ga, Seoul, at midnight on December 31.
On December 6, the Seoul metropolitan government announced, “With the COVID-19 outbreak still ongoing, we canceled the New Year’s Eve bell-ringing ceremony after concluding that realistically, it would be difficult to organize the event.” At midnight on the last night of the year, December 31, New Year’s Eve, the Bosingak bell was rung 33 times during the New Year’s Eve bell-ringing ceremony. This will be the first time in 67 years since the ceremony was first held in 1953 that the bell will not be rung.
Seoul considered the fact that over 100,000 people gather near Bosingak ahead of the bell-ringing ceremony every year when making the latest decision. Recently, in line with the government’s tighter physical distancing measures, the city tightened its own set of preventive measures and has banned all demonstrations of over ten people since October 24.

Maeil Business News Korea (http://www.pulsenews.co.kr/)
S. Korea to frontload largest-ever 72% of 2021 budget in H1
South Korea has allocated 72 percent of next year’s budget in the first half – to be spent mostly on social overhead capital (SOC) projects, industry support and small-to-mid size businesses, as well as research & development (R&D) – to prop up the economy amid a prolonged Covid-19 pandemic.
The Korean government on Tuesday decided to implement 333 trillion won ($305.2 billion) spending in the January-June period of 2021, which is 72.4 percent of next year’s fiscal spending of 459.1 trillion won, up from 71.4 percent in the comparable period this year.
Seoul reserves Covid-19 vaccines for 88% of population, won’t rush with shots
South Korea has reserved Covid-19 vaccines for 44 million, or 88 percent of its population, but won’t start immunization until the latter half for more safety assurance, the government said on Tuesday.
Under vaccine procurement plans announced by the Ministry of Health and Welfare on Tuesday, the government has procured doses for 10 million people via the COVAX Facility procurement program, a global vaccine project, and 64 million doses for 34 million people through individual deals with AstraZeneca Inc., Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson-Janssen, and Moderna.
Of the total, 20 million will come from AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Moderna and the rest 4 million from Johnson & Johnson-Janssen.
South Korea mulls joining CPTPP to further expand free trade
South Korean President Moon Jae-in said the country could join another major global trade bloc the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) to further broaden Asia’s No. 4 economy’s trading network.
“The wave of protectionism is likely to grow as countries compete more fiercely to gain an upper hand in the post-pandemic rebound,” Moon said at an event marking the 57th Trade Day ceremony on Tuesday in Seoul. “It is critical that we diversify our markets,” he added.
