THERE WERE four reports of sick pigs a week prior to the official date of the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) in Andong last November. The Kyungbuk Veterinary Research Center had tested them negative for FMD. Unfortunately, this herd of pigs was later tested positive for the virus, but by then, the highly contagious disease began spreading over the country like a landslide. This was the third time FMD had hit Korea within a year.

Behind the September craze over the Yon-Ko Athletic meet reveals an educational scandal that has been around for too long. The focus on fostering elite athletes amid an obsession with winning has left many young athletes in a blind spot, unaware of how else to shape their lives. This dead end of broken dreams becomes very apparent at the college level, as players begin to question their futures without sports. Lacking the support of proper education, many athletes who had their hopes pinned on becoming professionals and building a lucrative career face unbreakable barriers once they hit reality. Given what we have, against what we need, the demand for change is all the more urgent.

THIS YEAR, Koreans certainly have it tough. Without a weekday off to compensate for the holidays that fall on weekends, many have found themselves working incessantly for weeks. The rudderless holiday system has scraped away the red coloring of the calendars and has left Koreans yearning for an improved lineup in the following year. It comes as no surprise that statistically, Koreans work longer than any other citizenry, with non-working days at decade-low this year. So the question arises on how Korea may improve its entrenched yet stale holiday model-and the answer begins in China.
