This is before and after. Moon was beaming before the talk. After 70 minutes, his facial expression changed: somber, biting down. Throughout the signing ceremony, Moon was stony faced, even gloomy
Moon gathered himself and delivered his speech. The highlight is Yongbyon could accept inspectors to ensure decommissioning if the US takes certain steps. Some people who heard this portion aren't mentioning the conditional portion. This was not a concession; it was conditional
The text portion has arrived.

Donga reports an economic delegation composed of representatives of US agricultural & German mining businesses visited NK in late Sept. The German concern is interested in NK's magnesite/graphite reserves and US agro biz looked at investment opportunity
news.donga.com/List/PoliticsN…
The timing of this was late Sept when Pompeo's 4th visit had been decided and US-NK dialogue was ongoing. NK treated this economic delegation well. The US concern is supposedly the largest one that sells agro & animal protein prods (Cargill, Tyson Foods?)
sedaily.com/NewsView/1S5Y4…
Front page news in SK courtesy of Donga. NK is known to have rather large mineral reserves other than just coal: copper, lead, iron ore, tungsten plus rare earth/rare metal elements like molybdenum. SK estimates it's worth $3.6 trillion (on the low side) imnews.imbc.com/replay/2018/nw…

Foreign Minister Kang in another mini-controversy after Japan's Nihon-Kezai reports SoS Pompeo "blew up on her" after learning about the military agreement signed by SK and NK at the Pyongyang summit. N-K quotes Pompeo, "What do you think you're doing?"
news.joins.com/article/230344…
N-K: "There was no prior discussion about the nature of the military agreement SK struck with NK." Pompeo was said to be particularly upset about the 'no fly zone' established within proximity of MDL. US reconnaissance planes regularly fly near the area for surveillance of NK
Kang pretty much acknowledged something like that happened when asked about it at the National Assembly: "I wouldn't characterize it as 'furious' or 'blew up' but there was dissatisfaction re not being fully informed. So yes, I was asked a lot of questions"

Japan declines to attend a naval event in Jeju after repeated calls by SK not to arrive with its Rising Sun Flag symbolizing Imperial Japan. However the real reason why it chose not to attend is more intricate.
koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20…
What happened is SK kept telling Japan's Embassy and Defense Minister that only the national flag should be flown. But Japan insisted it will come bearing the Rising Sun Flag. Then apparently SK NSA Chung and new Defense Minister Jung came up with a ploy
english.yonhapnews.co.kr/national/2018/…
They leaked news that the lead vessel of the host country may switch to ROKS Dokdo, which is the largest SK navy vessel. Dokdo is an island but also the name of this LPH-class amphibious vessel with a platform that can launch helis, Ospreys and even VTOLs

No one who's calling the new She-Ra's writing lazy, or the animation static, or the character designs uninspired, has watched the original series in the past two decades. I promise you.
Again, I say this as someone who is an old school fan and who has stayed connected with the original Filmation shows. They're great for what they are, but what they are... isn't great.
We talk about how they were toy commercials but I think it's more than that. It's not just that the shows wouldn't have existed without the toys, I don't think we would have connected with the shows without the toys. The toys sparked imagination, let us relate to the characters.

BEFORE THE STORY STARTS: there will be polls scattered throughout the story. Most will have a good choice and a bad one and others may be simple things like who the next character you want is.

omega jimin who joins an alpha dominated gym, going in at peak hours, wearing the tightest shorts just to stare at the alphas there.
and like, he's paid for the membership so he tries to do some weights on the machine. and like, the few times he manages to focus and actually do something, he ends up leaving patches of his slick when he stands up.
and he knows exactly what he's doing?? like, he knows that alpha sweat makes him leaked more and that sweat makes his scent stronger, so while it's fun watching these guys at the gym get sweaty and sexy, it's even better watching them pretend they don't have massive erections.

My family immigrated to the US in 1988 (the same year that Korea last hosted the Olympics). I was 10 years old. I didn’t speak a word of English. Neither did anyone else in my family.

We moved to Astoria, NY where my grandparents owned a grocery store. My dad went from being an architect at Samsung to working at the grocery store. Long hours, working 7 days a week.

My mom was an art teacher before getting married. She started working at a nail salon.
I was a shy kid and I withdrew into a shell, being plucked from a school where everyone looked like me to a school that was very diverse. When I was in fourth grade, I remember being taken out of class by a lovely and kind woman who would play games with me.
