Hankyoreh interviews one of the Afghan interpreters who recently arrived in South Korea. Extracts:

"Many Afghans believe that, unlike Westerners, Koreans are polite and trustworthy, and genuinely helped without hidden political or military intentions."

"In particular, there was a lot of progress in education, health, rural development, and vocational training in Parwan Province, where Korea was in charge of reconstruction. Koreans helped in a way that โ€˜taught them how to fish instead of giving them fishโ€™."
"As rumours spread that the medical treatment at Korean-run hospitals was excellent, patients came from all over Parwan, Kabul, as well as from the border areas between Pakistan and Iran."

South Korean broadcaster MBC used images to "represent" each country during the #Tokyo2020 Opening Ceremony.

Italy: pizza
Norway: salmon
Haiti: upheaval
Ukraine: Chernobyl ImageImageImageImage
When Haitian athletes entered the stadium, an on-screen explanation said "the political situation is fogged by the assassination of the president." When Syrian athletes entered, it said "rich underground resources; a civil war that has been going on for 10 years."
For the Marshall Islands, it said "was once a nuclear test site for the US, and is composed of more than 1,200 islands." El Salvador was introduced with a picture representing Bitcoin. Image

"Miracle" reunion after 62 years: At the age of 4, Jin Myung-sook (now 66) lost her way at market, got separated from family. She was reunited yesterday thanks to Korean police's genetic analysis system. Holding back her tears, she hugged her eldest brother, Jeong Hyung-gon (76).
In the summer of 1959, Myung-sook, who was 4 years old at the time, lost her way near Baedari Market in Incheon while following her younger brother on way to meet their father. She didn't know her address or last name, just that she was called "Myung-sook."
In the end, her name was changed to "Jin Myung-sook" after the priest's family name at a nursery, and she was eventually adopted by a nun in South Chungcheong Province. After the age of 40, she decided to try find her family despite having no memory of them and different surname.

British "pickup artist" Nicholas Coakley aka "Explorer Nick"- who sexually harassed women on the streets/hotels of Asia, illegally filmed them and posted footage online for profit- has had his 1 year 2 month prison sentence confirmed by S. Korea's Supreme Court, appeal rejected.
Before the trial, Coakley appealed that his 263 days of detention in a Danish detention centre before being extradited to Korea should be excluded from original sentence, but the court rejected his claim, and said the original judgment was justified. yna.co.kr/view/AKR202107โ€ฆ
S. Korea's Supreme Court said "Even if Mr. A was detained in a Danish detention centre, the detention is governed by Danish law cannot be considered the same as detention in domestic criminal justice procedures."

I think today I've seen a record amount of homophobic incidents in S. Korea since I've started tracking this junk. 5 in total.

1/ SBS censorship of gay kiss scene in Bohemian Rhapsody continues to make waves. Now a #bohemiankisschallenge going on online.
2/ Homophobic group sues bisexual author, claiming they were left traumatised after she 'tricked' them into donating money to Seoul Pride in 2017.

Meanwhile, Seoul Pride denouces it as homophobia and bullying.
3/ Same-sex Korean couple sues national health insurance for cancelling their family insurance and violating their rights.
