There have been several news updates the last couple days and I unfortunately do not have time to comment on all of them, so here is a quick summary:
-The union at the Ssangyong plant and the management are going to meet later today to discuss ending the current occupation.
-Former Director of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, Kim Sang-wan, is going to jail for three years for trying to rape a female union member.
-So far 70 DP legislators have handed over letters of resignation to opposition leader Chung Sye-kun who has already announced his resignation in protest of the GNP ramming through the media reform bills. Opposition parties will also begin a 100-day street protest.
-Many of you have already probably heard of the recent verbal jabs the USA and DPRK have fired at each other at the last ASEAN Regional Forum summit. You might have also heard about that Christian activist that was executed in the DPRK recently. But did you hear about the newest act of defiance within DPRK's borders that is causing a giant crackdown? Korean dramas. Apparently they cannot resist the charms of Rain and Lee Young Ae.
-The ROK is officially the third biggest buyer of US arms behind Israel and Saudi Arabia.
-On July 20th, there was some confrontation between police and protesters. The protesters were forming a march in memory of the Yongsan incident.
