“Ensure No Record Remains That He Worked Hard.”.

• These were the words attributed to Kim Beom-seok (Chairman of Coupang INC) immediately after the death of Jang Deok-jun (Coupang warehouse worker). The Ministry of Employment and Labor decided yesterday to refer Kim for non-prosecution. For two reasons:
• First, the five-year statute of limitations has expired,
• and second, they deemed it difficult to apply the charge of concealing an industrial accident.
• Oh Young-min (Director of Occupational Safety and Health Supervision at the Ministry of Employment and Labor) stated, “For the crime of concealing an industrial accident to be recognized, there must be active efforts to avoid reporting the occurrence of the accident and preventing it from becoming public.”
• The argument is that since a report was eventually filed, it cannot be considered concealment. However, Kim Hye-jin (Coupang Countermeasures Committee Chairperson) argued, “Given that it was a fatal accident, it could not have gone unreported,” adding, “We cannot dismiss suspicions that the investigation was conducted with the intention of granting immunity from the start.”
• Jang Deok-jun’s mother, Park Mi-suk, said, “It’s incredibly frustrating and demoralizing.”

What Matters Now.

“Abdicating Oversight of the Corruption Investigation Office Is Grounds for Impeachment.”.

• Lee Jae-myung (President) continues to frame the attendance of the Corruption Investigation Office (CIO) chief at State Council meetings as an issue.
• “Abandoning command and supervision over the CIO violates the Constitution and the Government Organization Act, constituting grounds for impeachment,” he countered, calling it “a criminal act of dereliction of duty.”
• The Hankyoreh criticized this in an editorial as “a straw man argument—creating and attacking claims that were never made.”
• “If the president is convinced of the necessity of the CIO chief’s attendance at State Council meetings, we can respect that. However, we cannot help but deeply worry about the attitude of shutting down debate and discussion, rather than seeking compromise or persuading logically in response to criticism.”
• Shin Yul (professor at Myongji University) pointed out, “The problem is that citizens are growing skeptical about whether the CIO can conduct neutral investigations.”
• A Cheong Wa Dae official met by the JoongAng Ilbo rebutted, “On the contrary, within the open stage of State Council meetings—where citizens are watching—oversight becomes possible. Investigation chiefs will conduct their work with even greater caution, minding their conduct and buttoning up, to avoid misunderstandings.” The argument is that “viewing the mere attendance itself as the root of the problem is a one-sided and excessive concern.”
• Park Ji-won (Democratic Party lawmaker) advised, “The president should probably get some sleep.”

“A Matter of Fact-Checking Legal Provisions.”.

• Controversy also persisted over the citation of Gemini’s response.
• Lee Jae-myung countered, “It was not cited out of ignorance but to highlight how elementary, factually flawed, and low-level the argument is.”
• Even Sung Ki-hong (Blue House Chief of Public Communication) stepped in, expressing displeasure: “Reporting or claiming that the administration relies on AI to govern distorts and misrepresents the facts.”
• Park Sung-min (CEO of Min Political Consulting) noted, “The president seems to have a compulsion to refute.”
• Yoon Seong-min (JoongAng Ilbo reporter) pointed out two issues: First, AI only says what is pleasing to hear. Second, responses vary depending on the user.
• When Ulf Kristersson (then Swedish Prime Minister) asked ChatGPT for policy advice, Virginia Dignum (Umeå University professor) criticized, “We did not vote for ChatGPT.” The same applies to “I asked Gemini.” Once uttered, it becomes a massive political liability.

PHP Bug Shock.

• AI discovered a vulnerability in the programming language PHP. Up to 70% of global websites are built on PHP.
• A patch was immediately released, but the possibility remains that someone could feed it to AI and uncover other weaknesses. Warnings of “all hell breaking loose” have emerged. The term “bugmageddon” is also circulating.
• The ability to find vulnerabilities and the ability to exploit them are advancing in tandem, leaving defenders with less time to respond.
• In South Korea, over 110,000 servers use PHP versions.
• During the Science and ICT Ministry’s audit, a criticism emerged: “Attackers wield the cutting-edge AI spear, but defenders cling to outdated 20th-century shields.”
• Kim Seung-joo (Korea University professor) stated, “There are likely many websites created and forgotten, left abandoned. The government must step in with practical field support, such as remote inspections.”

Constitutional Court Weighs in on Lee Jin-sook’s Audit Exclusion Controversy.

• Lee Jin-sook (People Power Party lawmaker) faced exclusion from the audit of issues related to her tenure as Korea Communications Commission chair, with the Democratic Party citing a conflict of interest.
• Lee filed a constitutional complaint and a provisional injunction with the Constitutional Court, which partially accepted the request—ruling that audit authority must exclude only agenda items directly tied to her former role, not impose a blanket ban.
• Both parties claim the ruling supports their stance.
• Lee Jung-heon (Democratic Party lawmaker) stated, “The court’s core message is that a player cannot be a referee,” adding, “This is not a pardon but a stern warning.” Song Gi-hun (Science and ICT Committee chair, Democratic Party) said, “If a question relates to a lawmaker’s interests, we will halt their remarks immediately.”
• Lee Jin-sook countered, “The court ruled that excluding a lawmaker via numerical majority is wrong,” comparing the exclusion attempt to “bullying a student before they even enter class.”

Everything Feels Expensive.

• Natasha Sarin (Yale professor) pointed out that the issue is not prices or wages, but a crisis of economic stability.
• Spending has increased, and there’s no telling how much further it might rise.
• U.S. home prices have surged 50% since the pandemic.
• Annual family health insurance premiums through employer-based plans average around $27,000.
• Long-term care costs approach $100,000 annually.
• Even with expensive insurance, unexpected bills arrive, and care services can abruptly require alternative solutions.
• The problem lies in the combination of high costs and high unpredictability.
• “A vicious affordability cycle (affordability doom loop) repeats: politicians promise quick fixes, fail, and voters then change power,” the analysis concludes.
• Related Link.

Trapped in a Doom Loop.

• Emmanuel Macron (French president) responded to the 2018 Yellow Vest protests with tax cuts and wage increases worth about $11 billion.
• This approach won’t work now. Investors are selling French government bonds.
• Increasing spending raises bond yields further, reducing available funds. Cutting spending, meanwhile, fuels public anger. The New York Times analyzed this as a “populism-bond market doom loop.”
• Voters demand improved living standards, while bond investors demand assurance of repayment. Populist politicians promise to protect welfare and cut taxes. Investors see these promises as new risks.
• Simon Radford (Milken Institute Europe head) warned, “When interest costs outpace growth, what cannot continue forever eventually stops.”
• Ludovic Subran (Allianz chief investment officer) said, “This is today’s real political Catch-22.” Once politicians who cannot beat the market face political punishment and exit, extremist parties step in.

The World Is on Fire.

• Frank Bruni (Duke University professor) analyzed, “Governments of different stripes are failing against the same challenges.” Expectations that living standards will keep improving are faltering, while fiscal capacity to sustain welfare systems shrinks.
• Bret Stephens (New York Times columnist) argued, “Europe ignored the changing security environment.” Russia’s threats, China’s rise, and U.S. isolationism emerged simultaneously, yet Europe acted as if peace would continue.
• “Idealism wanes; nihilism waxes.” The diagnosis is that energy is shifting toward destruction rather than creation.

Trump’s Second-Act Report Card.

• Financial Times took a deep dive. The verdict: nothing properly kept.
• He promised to end inflation, yet September’s inflation rate hit 3.7%. Biden’s final month saw 2.9%.
• He vowed to bring gasoline below $2 per gallon, but it’s now $4.30. Diesel? $6.32. Up 40% and 70% respectively.
• Electricity costs were to be halved, yet they rose from 16.27 cents to 18.31 cents per kWh.
• Mortgage rates were to drop to 3%, but they climbed to 7.4%.
• Tariffs were to slash trade deficits, yet effective tariffs jumped from 2.7% to 11.6% while the deficit grew from $96.9B to $105.6B.
• Manufacturing output rose, but employment stagnated and factory construction spending fell.
• Contrary to “ending wars,” the Iran war drags on. 21 U.S. troops dead, costs exceeding $43B. Ukraine’s war also unresolved.

• “It’s always like this. (The camera) comes right up to the seats. It’s uncomfortable,” Kim Hyun (Democratic Party lawmaker).
• “No, all lawmakers do it,” / Lee Jin-suk (People Power Party lawmaker).
• A National Assembly aide interviewed by Chosun Ilbo said, “When listening to lawmakers’ questioning, it’s often not about scrutinizing policies or hearing witnesses—it’s about creating short clips.”
• This year’s audit saw fewer general witnesses: 271, half of last year’s 530. Institutional witnesses increased to 4,366 from 4,328 last year.

The Fix.

“Google Exits RE100? A Slip of the Tongue.”.

• Kim Jeong-gwan (Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy) said this yesterday during the National Assembly audit.
• When Cha Gyu-geun (lawmaker of the People’s Party) pointed out, “Google has not withdrawn from RE100,” Kim acknowledged, “I must have been mistaken” and admitted, “I incorrectly referred to 24/7 CFE as CF100.”
• 24/7 CFE is a stricter standard than RE100, requiring companies to procure and match renewable energy equal to annual consumption while also securing carbon-free power 24/7 in the same region. Google’s direction—maintaining RE100 while pursuing 24/7 CFE—does not inherently conflict.
• According to Refact, first, Google remains an RE100 member. Second, it has never declared CF100. Third, 24/7 CFE does not replace RE100. Fourth, despite a 2.4-fold increase in power use, Google has achieved RE100 for five consecutive years since 2021.
• RE100 (Renewable Energy 100) is a campaign to cover 100% of power consumption with renewables. CF100 (Carbon Free 100) includes not only renewables but also carbon-free sources like nuclear, fuel cells, and hydrogen. While RE100 is annual, 24/7 CFE (Carbon Free Energy) requires hourly matching. Though 24/7 CFE is led by UN Energy, there is no international initiative called CF100 with formal membership or verification.
• Conclusion: Kim’s claim that “Google switched from RE100 to CF100” is false.

If You Don’t Know Where to Start, Try Ohjaamo.

• Finland operates Ohjaamo, where youth aged 15–30 can receive counseling on employment, housing, finance, and health—all in one-stop service.
• Ohjaamo, meaning “cockpit” in Finnish, symbolizes a control center for life’s challenges.
• A reclusive youth interviewed by Dong-A Ilbo said, “I thought I’d never get back on my feet, but Ohjaamo helped me start finding my way.”
• While the principle is “walk-in” (youth initiating contact), outreach officers also proactively seek out those in need.
• In Korea, unpaid rent leads to local government offices, jobs to employment centers, debt to credit recovery committees or courts. Shin Young-gyu (Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs researcher) said, “For Ohjaamo to take root in Korea, welfare for impoverished youth must expand.”
• Bredendy Matti (University of Helsinki professor) noted, “Some centers, as they grew, turned into impersonal offices where clients take numbered tickets and wait—like banks.”

Stay-at-Home Spouses to Become National Pension Local Enrollees.

• The government is pushing to reclassify spouses with no income as exempt from payments under the national pension local enrollment system. The aim is to maintain their eligibility first and allow them to pay later if they gain income.
• A Ministry of Health and Welfare official stated, “Stay-at-home spouses without income can only voluntarily enroll now, but by integrating them as local enrollees, they retain formal eligibility and can enter the pension system through retroactive payments.”
• The national pension requires a minimum of 120 months of contributions to qualify for benefits.
• Yoon Hong-sik (Inha University professor) assessed, “Incorporating those outside the national pension system, such as spouses with no income, is desirable for reducing coverage gaps by expanding benefit eligibility.” Seok Jae-eun (Hallym University professor) cautioned that retroactive payments could increase financial burdens if more beneficiaries emerge, stressing the need for stricter eligibility criteria.

• “Parents become caregivers, interpreters of their child’s needs, seekers of support, and fillers of gaps between systems. As long as these countless roles depend on a single person, parents struggle even to grow old without fear. These responsibilities must be shared by many people and institutions.”

Accelerator Without Brakes.

• Samsung+Nikko Leverage ETF was unwound precisely at the peak. While hindsight is 20/20, analysts suggest that even a one-month delay in its first trading day could have significantly reduced losses.
• Park Hyun (Hankyoreh columnist) criticized, “The Financial Supervisory Service is effectively ‘subordinated’ to the Financial Services Commission, rendering it incapable of oversight.” He added, “When systems fail, individuals must step in—but that didn’t happen.”
• Though the mastermind behind the leverage ETF remains unidentified, it’s clear the launch was rushed on a fixed timeline. Lee Chan-jin (Financial Supervisory Service Governor) admitted during a parliamentary audit, “We expedited the review to meet deadlines,” but denied accusations of rushed approval: “We cannot accept claims of negligent oversight.”
• Park Hyun stressed, “Either the system must change, or the people in charge must change—at minimum, one of the two.” His warning: “Leaving both unchanged guarantees a repeat of such financial disasters.”

• “We must urgently prevent the reality of people entering nursing homes and hospitals prematurely due to lack of care.”
• “Public providers like the Social Service Agency should take the central role. Market failure blind spots—where providers are absent—must be filled directly. It’s also the public’s role to act as coordinators, mobilizing personnel from local resources: social economy organizations, self-sufficiency agencies, job programs, and even formal and informal community groups.”
