University of Tokyo students say it will be "great" when Japan becomes like Paris with "people with different skin colors," and that immigration "will positively disrupt the existing values and lead to more diversity, creating a more stimulating world."
It looks like the ROK government is going to take some kind of further diplomatic action against Ukraine if they don’t apologize better:
Foreign Minister Cho Hyun said Tuesday that Ukraine sent an apology over its disclosure of the transfer of two North Korean prisoners of war to South Korea but the message fell short of Seoul’s expectations.
He said the government is considering further diplomatic actions.
Cho made the remarks during a parliamentary audit of the foreign ministry amid a dispute over Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s disclosure of the transfer, which Seoul said the two sides had agreed to keep confidential.
What is more infuriating than the tens of millions of taxpayer dollars this guy stole was how easily he infiltrated the CIA and rise to a senior position. If a conman like him was able to do it how many trained espionage agents have infiltrated the CIA as well?:
“To reach the upper echelons of the CIA and secure top-secret clearances, Rush fabricated extensive credentials.
On official job applications, he claimed to be a graduate of the U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School and the director of test operations for a joint Army/Navy unit.
In reality, Rush was never a pilot, held no FAA licenses, and served primarily as an information systems technician during his time in the Navy.
Once positioned in senior leadership, Rush executed a massive siphon of taxpayer dollars. He created fictitious government entities and fake initiatives — including a phony “Special Access Program” — to redirect federal funds into his own accounts, ultimately stealing $194 million, according to the Justice Department.”
Korean police do not think this brawl involved organized crime, so it will be interesting to hear what caused this brawl then:
This photo, provided by a Yonhap News reader, shows the scene of a group brawl involving several foreign nationals at a park in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province, on Oct. 3, 2026.
Police are investigating a violent late night clash between groups of people from Central Asian nations in Pyeongtaek, officials said Monday, an incident that reportedly left many people in the local residential area in shock and fear.
The suspected brawl broke out at around 11:40 p.m. Saturday in a residential neighborhood in the city located some 60 kilometers south of Seoul. Two men in their 20s — a Russian national and a Kyrgyz national — were detained while fleeing the scene, according to Pyeongtaek Police Station.
Police estimate that around 15 people were involved, though initial witness reports said about 40 people were engaged in a fight. Photos of the incident provided by readers showed many young men carrying and wielding club-like weapons.
The two suspects reportedly sustained injuries, including fractures, and were taken to a hospital for treatment. Both are legal residents who entered South Korea on visas, the police said.
The mines that the North Korean are have said to have laid were supposedly made of plastic which makes it even that much more difficult to locate and dispose of:

The South Korean military launched an operation Monday to remove any remaining land mines planted by North Korea at the site of a recent blast inside the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) that left three South Korean service members injured.
Three South Korean military officers were injured Sept. 21, two seriously, when two land mines south of the Military Demarcation Line (MDL) in the western DMZ exploded.
Following a joint inspection of the blast site, the United Nations Command (UNC) and South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) concluded that the mines were “highly likely” planted by North Korea and urged Pyongyang to apologize.
Seoul has also discovered two additional land mines at and near the blast site.
The UNC, which oversees the DMZ, said the latest explosion constituted a violation of the Armistice Agreement that ended the 1950-53 Korean War.
Either Korea had a sudden surge in ADHD cases or people are using these drugs to cheat on tests:
Prescriptions for methylphenidate, an attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) treatment widely known as “study drug” among students in Korea, have surged nearly 38 percent over the past two years in the country and are especially high among people aged 19 and under, data showed Sunday.
According to the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety and the Korea Institute of Drug Safety and Risk Management, 58.05 million methylphenidate tablets were prescribed in the first half of this year, up 12.1 percent from the same period a year earlier.
This marked a 37.8 percent increase from the first half of 2024, when 42.13 million tablets were prescribed.
It looks like President Trump is still friendly with Kim Jong-un. I guess we will see if this friendliness turns into any long term agreement in the future:
U.S. President Donald Trump said Saturday he “gets along great” with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un as he stressed the importance of maintaining good relations with leaders of nuclear-armed nations.
Trump made the remarks during a campaign rally in Ohio ahead of the U.S. midterm elections while discussing his relationship with Chinese President Xi Jinping and defending his ties with leaders of major powers.
“I get along great with Kim Jong-un,” Trump said, adding, “Isn’t it nice to get along with the leaders of massive nations, massive nuclear nations?”
