Finally, a story of interest

The ‘writing on the wall’ reads:

"Worsening Socioeconomic Disparity"

"Household Debt On The Rise"

"More Jobs Are Part Time or Contract Work"

"College Tuition Tops 10 Million Won Per Year"

"Parents Working Extra Jobs to Pay Children’s Private Tutoring"

"Increase in ‘Economic Survival’ Crimes"

But President Roh Moo-hyun is moved to tears only by one story, about "philosopher" Kim Yong-ok, who tells people they shouldn’t be too harsh on Roh’s government because it hasn’t done anything all that wrong.
