Quick Glance: Seoul Bus Drivers Strike for Pay Raise
- Bus drivers in South Korea’s capital launched their first strike in more than a decade, halting almost all city buses on Thursday morning after failed wage negotiations with management.

- The Seoul bus labor union, representing around 18,000 bus drivers, reported that over 88% of the members voted for the walkout. Wage negotiations broke down early Thursday, with workers seeking a 12.7% pay raise while management offered 2.5%, citing 3.6% inflation in 2023.

- The 24-year-old Takerufuji from Aomori Prefecture achieved an impressive record of 13-2 at Edion Arena Osaka, securing the title in the elite makuuchi division for the first time since 1914.
- He clinched his inaugural Emperor's Cup faster than any other competitor since the six annual grand tournaments calendar was adopted in 1958, following his official debut in September 2022.

- In recognition of his outstanding performance, Takerufuji received an Outstanding Performance Award, a Technique Prize, and a Fighting Spirit Prize.
