It looks like Korea may be in for a very snowy winter season this year:
The heaviest snowfall for November in 117 years blanketed Seoul and the surrounding regions Wednesday, causing injuries, disrupting traffic and cutting off power supplies, as authorities are on high alert for more snow later this week.
As of 3 p.m., the capital city had received 18 centimeters of snow, marking the biggest snowfall in November since modern weather observations began in 1907, according to the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA).
The new record coincided with the first snow of the season in Seoul.

I don’t think you have to be female to think something is wrong at this university:
Students at Seoul Women’s University rallied outside Nowon Police Station, Tuesday, protesting a defamation lawsuit filed by a professor accused of sexual misconduct. The demonstration was organized by the university’s feminist group, “Rhinoceros Horn.”
Around 500 participants, including students, alumni and professors, demanded that police dismiss the case against students who had posted statements criticizing the professor.
The protest stems from allegations that a German language and literature professor, identified as “A,” sexually harassed and assaulted students. After receiving a report in July 2022, the university conducted an investigation and imposed a three-month pay reduction as punishment.
Students learned of the incident over a year later in September 2023 and criticized the university’s handling of the case. They posted statements urging the separation of the perpetrator from campus and stronger protection for victims.

It looks like someone crazy got behind the wheel in Gangnam which fortunately no one was killed from:
The court will review an arrest warrant for a woman who rammed into seven cars and drove the wrong way along a boulevard near Gangnam Station in southern Seoul.
The review will be held in Seoul Central District Court at 3:30 p.m. Monday, after police requested the warrant the previous day.
The woman in her 20s was caught driving without a license after causing an accident on the street near Exit No. 12 of Gangnam Station at 1:39 p.m. on Saturday, according to local media.
She was reportedly pulled out of the vehicle by police even as she insisted on continuing to drive.
According to reports, the suspect had hit a woman and her stroller in Songpa-gu, southern Seoul about 30 minutes prior.
A total of 11 people, including a 4-year-old child in the aforementioned stroller, reportedly sustained light injuries in those accidents.
In a police investigation, the woman stated that she took a tranquilizer before driving. No signs of drunk driving were found and she tested negative in a simplified drug test, according to local media.
