Remember restaurants? Seoul's been fortunate that they've remained open — so far — including the ones that serve the city's 70,000 cab drivers.

Let @yamphoto & I take you into some of them, for a look into hard-working lives strained by the pandemic:

latimes.com/world-nation/s…
Known as 'gisa sikdang,' they offer cheap & quick meals — and will also pay parking fines should drivers get ticketed while eating.

They've also become places where those on a budget can get a filling meal, with unlimited rice & banchan, like the family in the movie 'Parasite.' ImageImageImageImage
Beware of looking through @yamphoto's shots on an empty stomach.

Many thanks also to gisa sikdang aficionado @mykoreaneats, who has recs on his site. ImageImage

The vast majority if farm work in South Korea, as in many developed nations, is done by migrant workers — legal and otherwise.

@yamphoto and I spent time at a tobacco farm, learning the stories of a farmer and Thai workers, lives changed by COVID-19:

latimes.com/world-nation/s…
The flow of migrant labor largely halted by coronavirus-related travel restrictions has led to shortages and desperation across South Korea's agricultural areas, as crops ripened and rains loomed.

In their stories you'll find tales of opportunity and reinvention. Image
Let @yamphoto take you into the fields alongside farmer Park Jong-bum (who quit but got back into smoking from the stresses of running his tobacco farm) and five migrant workers, known in Thai as "little ghosts," for the day. ImageImageImage

Attorney for Park's accuser says the former secretary told police she received sexually explicit Telegram messages, including photos of him clad only in underwear, and was subject unwanted physical contact over four years of working for the mayor.
Women's rights activists read a letter from the accuser. "I should have screamed, cried out, reported that first time," she wrote. "I suffered alone, during the long period of being silent."
Representatives for the woman say she sought help within Seoul city hall but received none. The abuse took place in the mayor's office and a bedroom inside his office, her attorney alleged.

Seoul mayor Park Won-soon has been found dead after an hours-long search, in an apparent suicide. He was reportedly facing sexual harassment allegations recently reported to police.
Like President Roh Moo-hyun, who took his own life in 2009, Park was a liberal stalwart who fought authoritarian rule in South Korea as a young man. He was in his third term as mayor, first elected in 2011. He was 65.
He was a longtime social justice activist who founded the influential civic group People's Solidarity for Participatory Democracy and an oft-discussed presidential hopeful.

Dramatic video from South Korea's Ministry of National Defense showing North Korea blowing up the liaison office with South Korea

latimes.com/world-nation/s…
@yonhaptweet graphic showing the location and facade of the blown-up liaison office. Sleek new building that just opened its doors Sept. 2018.
South Koreans had offices on the 2nd floor, North Koreans on the 4th. Meeting rooms conveniently on 3rd.

South Korean staff decamped earlier this year out of coronavirus concerns.

South Korea's high school seniors went back to school Wednesday, so I did too. Thrilled to report one teacher mistook me for a student. (It was probably the masks.)

This was the scene at Gyungbuk Girls' High in Daegu, the hardest-hit city in the country.

latimes.com/world-nation/s…
All 300+ students were surprisingly good about keeping on face masks through all 7 periods, including P.E.

They snuck in hugs and clutched hands though, upon seeing friends for the first time in months, despite teachers' best efforts to keep them apart.

The girls walked past two thermal imaging cameras at the start of the school day, moving through the hallways along pathways teachers had spent days rehearsing and blocking with tape on the floor. It was a learning experience for all, but largely went off without a hitch.
