South Korea retailers halt U.S. beef sales, government may act
2012-04-25 04:28:00
Two major South Korean retailers halted sales of U.S. beef after an outbreak of mad cow disease as the country's agriculture ministry looked set to move towards banning quarantine inspections, a move that would effectively end imports. Lotte Mart, a unit of Lotte Shopping Co., said it had suspended sales due to what it said was "customer concerns", as did Home Plus, a unit of Britain's Tesco PLC.

Three Sheet to South Korea
2009-09-14 03:15:00
I’m out of touch with much of what’s on TV in the U.S. these days.  That’s mostly a blessing.  But too bad I missed out on this show, Three Sheets.  The host, Zane Lamprey, goes around the world to explore people’s drinking cultures.  Think Thirsty Traveler but with more wastedness. It turns out that Zane went to South Korea.  I can’t find any clips of the show that I can put on the site, but you can watch the whole episode here. And it looks like some folks have caught on to some Korean drinking traditions after watching the show. Click here to view the embedded video. Click here to view the embedded video.

South Korea Comes to Halt as Students Take Exam
2008-11-16 15:23:00
Rush hour was rescheduled, aircraft landings were delayed and even the stock market opened late as more than half a million South Korean children sat a crucial examination on Thursday. Parents could be seen praying outside schools where their kids were taking the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT), a decisive factor in determining future careers. At Incheon city near Seoul younger students and graduates lined up outside a high school, cheering on test applicants and handing them cups of coffee and tea before their ordeal. Military training exercises nationwide were suspended and military aircraft grounded to avoid noise during audio foreign language tests, a spokesman for the Joint Chiefs of Staff said. Seven inbound flights to the country?s main airport Incheon were told to stay at an altitude of 10,000 feet as students took the first audio test that lasted 13 minutes. "We have been forewarning all airlines about the restriction over the past month so that they may adjust fligh...

Same Again In Shanghai
2008-09-13 10:36:00
There was no Shanghai Surprise. The only surprise was that some thought it was going to be any different. It could have been worse though, that was the one consolation for the few South Korean fans who, late Wednesday evening, had sat through a typically turgid Korean Derby. 1-1 was the score between the near neighbors in their 2010 World Cup qualification match in China.There were less than 1,000 fans present in Shanghai's Hongkou Stadium - a far cry from the 25,000 plus that watched March's match. Apart from the loss of the novelty factor as well as the will to live, the main reason for the difference in the fact that North Korea hiked ticket prices by around 500% for the cheapest tickets -the 'hosts'(the game had been moved from Pyongyang to Shanghai after communist authorities in North Korea refused to fly the southern flag and play the anthem) didn't want their fans to be as heavily outnumbered as before.The tie was the fourth straight stalemate between the two rivals in 2...
Shanghai Surprise? Not Likely...
2008-09-08 14:01:00
South Korea restarts its journey on the road to South Africa and the 2010 World Cup tonight in Shanghai. Pyongyang was supposed to be the location but the qualifier against North Korea has been moved to China as the communist authorities in the DPRK capital refused to fly the Taegukki or play the Aegukga. It is the final round of qualification for the quadrennial football-fest. South Korea has participated in the last six tournaments and failure to make it a magnificent seventh doesn?t bear thinking about for footy-lovers in a nation that is currently bananas about baseball. The loss of prestige, sponsorships, experience, money and jobs would hit Korean football hard. Ten Asian nations, in football terms this includes Australia, have been split into two groups of five. The top two in each group automatically book their berths in South Africa. The two third-place teams face each other for the right to take on Oceania?s representative, probably New Zealand, in a winners-takes-all play...

Sloppy Korea Making Hard Work Of Qualification
2008-06-02 16:45:00
?I couldn?t understand it? said South Korean coach Huh Jung-moo last Saturday night.He wasn?t alone. Around 55,000 people in Seoul World Cup Stadium were also scratching their heads and shouting their disapproval after watching the national team somehow allow Jordan to come back and draw 2-2 in a qualification match for the 2010 World Cup.It had looked so good ?the situation that is. The performance was nothing special but early in the second half, South Korea was leading 2-0 thanks to a goal from Manchester United?s Park Ji-sung that brought the house down and then a penalty from Park Chu-young that seemed to have brought the curtain down on the fixture with the middle-eastern team ranked 104 in the world by FIFA.Then it all went wrong. Substitute Hasan Abdel-Fattah scored with Jordan?s second attack of the match after 72 minutes. Then the Korean players lost their heads and shape. Seven minutes later, the whole Korean backline may as well have been at the anti-US beef protests in ...

Park Ji-Sung Ready For Jordan
2008-05-27 11:27:00
The build-up for South Korea?s summer series of qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup started the minute Park Ji-sung arrived at Incheon International Airport last Saturday, dressed in the words of some reports, "like a model" in a white jacket and pink shirt. All attention had been centred on Park?s non-appearance in the UEFA Champions League final on May 21 when Manchester United defeated Chelsea. That is all in the past now as Park told reporters at the arrival gate: ?Qualification for the World Cup is now my biggest goal.?South Korea continues its journey along the road to the 2010 World Cup on Saturday with a home match against Jordan at Seoul World Cup Stadium on Saturday. The Taeguk Warriors sit in top spot in Group Three with four points from the first two games. The top two from the four nations progress to the final round of qualification.It is a busy time as in the three weeks following the Seoul match, coach Huh Jung-moo will take his team to Jordan for a return match and th...
