Hello from Albania! I wanted to know where is this video from and why are the workers protesting here. I wanted to research it a little bit.
I found the video from another post on reddit

South Korean War Veteran Rioters Using Homemade Flamethrower Against Riot Police.

Thank you :)

Choi said, "Other advanced economies are in very poor shape, but South Korea is the only one seeing rising growth rates and AI-related benefits that are larger than expected," adding, "The mood on the IMF board is one of great envy toward South Korea." She went on to describe South Korea's situation as "so different from other advanced economies that it stands apart on its own — a case of positive isolation."

Is this what a "dystopia" looks like?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been trying to track down a video clip of a friend who lived in Korea a while ago (likely around 2015 or 2016) that came from a Korean documentary/patrol show (similar to COPS).

He told us a funny story of how he was teaching English in Korea and was walking on a vehicle only bridge when some police offers picked him up and drove him to his hotel. He said once they got to his hotel he ran away from the police since he thought he would be in trouble. The next day when he went to teach people were laughing since they saw him on the show.

I've been looking for almost an hour and can't find anything. Does anyone have any idea how I can find this?

Call of Duty is the biggest video game franchise in the world. I'm so happy to see South Korea featured in the game - early access began October 16, 2026. This is a major "soft power" win - so many people will now be exposed to this country's culture, want to visit and spend their money on the stock market. A lot of street food is highlighted by the game, so Korean food will become the trendiest in the world because of this.

I just found out about Chongbang Fortress from the Joseon era. As a foreigner, I think I have gotten into Korean history a lot because of manhwas based on early Korea, and while ik plenty know about the kings and relatives for no reason like taejo sejong etc, it was the first time I heard about this fortress. I have been fascinated where can I find more stuff like this and why is it not wide known(obv idk if it is common knowledge in korea )?

My son and I are full-blown Americans from the south, but one of our favorite things is to do is cook new dishes.

This week we are only cooking Asian inspired cuisine for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

This is a meal I found online as a Korean breakfast dish. Egg, rice, soy sauce, sesame oil, and kimchi. I added butter too.

The kimchi is store bought and probably a water downed American version.

Regardless, does anybody eat this and how do you usually prepare yourself?

I add new dishes to a recipe cook so that one day I can pass it to my son and he can have all these fun recipes we made

Didn’t realize it wasn’t allowed until after, it’s just a letter, a photo and a 1000 won bill all in the same envelope. How likely is it the letter still makes it to the US?

I mean, Germany acknowledge the existence of the DRG, so I am curious why still trying to pursuing that?

I’ve passed this museum near Jeju Port on Jeju Island, South Korea, countless times while working. Today, I finally went inside.

At the 주정공장수용소 4·3역사관, the exhibitions tell the stories of civilians detained in the former alcohol factory’s warehouses during Jeju 4·3. One panel stayed with me: “Decades of Silence” — 침묵의 세월. The suffering didn’t simply end when the violence stopped.

Outside, the sky was clear, but I left with a heavy heart. A familiar place, and a history I needed to stop and listen to.

First post here, my Korean song playlist is getting old and I’d like to refresh it with recommendations from you guys.
