Quick Glance: South Korea's Olympic Qualification Hopes Dashed by Indonesia Defeat

South Korea's men's soccer team will miss out on the Olympic football tournament for the first time since 1984 after a loss to Indonesia in the Under-23 Asian Cup quarterfinals that went to a penalty shootout.

Indonesia secured a spot in the last four teams by winning the penalty shootout 11-10, with the game ending 2-2 after extra time.

Despite Jeong Sang-bin's equalizer with 14 minutes left, and being down to 10 players due to a red card for Lee Young-jun, Lee Kang-hee missed his shot in the shootout, allowing Pratama Arhan to score the winning goal.

Japan emerged victorious against host Qatar in a 4-2 extra-time win, maintaining their path towards an eighth consecutive Olympic appearance. Saudi Arabia will face Uzbekistan, and Iraq will meet Vietnam. The fourth-placed team will have a playoff against Guinea in May to secure a place in Paris.

thenews.com.pk/latest/1182447-north-korea-test-fires-multiple-rocket-launchers-to-scare-enemy

Quick Glance: Kim Jong Un's Rocket Tests and Possible Russian Assistance

Kim Jong Un oversaw tests for a rocket capable of hitting Seoul in South Korea and potentially aiding Russia in the conflict with Ukraine.

The 240-millimeter multiple rocket launcher has an estimated range of 40 to 60 kilometers and could enhance the artillery capabilities of the Korean People's Army.

Experts suggest the rocket could be significant for export, such as to Russia, and useful in the war in Ukraine.

Despite denials of an arms deal, reports indicate North Korea has been shipping military equipment to Russia, possibly indicating collaboration between the two countries.

Smaller towns in South Korea bear brunt of doctors’ shortage

reut.rs/3wdhLFh

Quick Glance: Smaller Towns in South Korea Struggle with Doctor Shortage

Hospitals in South Korea's smaller cities are facing a shortage of physicians as a nationwide strike by trainee doctors continues to protest plans to increase medical school admissions.

While Seoul has top-tier hospitals, smaller towns are suffering from a lack of doctors, exacerbated by an aging population and the world's lowest birth rates.

South Korea has one of the lowest doctor-to-patient ratios among developed countries, prompting government efforts to increase medical school enrollments, a move met with resistance from trainee doctors and medical groups.

Addressing the shortage of doctors in underserved areas and preventing them from clustering in Seoul requires not just an increase in doctor numbers but also policy changes, according to experts in the field.

reuters.com/markets/asia/south-korea-prepares-new-monitoring-system-detect-illegal-stock-short-selling-2024-04-25/

Quick Glance: South Korea introduces monitoring system to curb illegal stock short selling

South Korea's financial market watchdog has developed a new monitoring mechanism to detect illegal short-selling transactions in the stock market. Institutional investors will be electronically processed and filtered through a central detection system to prevent illegal trades.

South Korea has made various reform efforts to address the 'Korea discount' in the stock market, where domestic companies have lower valuations compared to global peers due to factors like low dividend payouts and opaque governance structures.

Last November, South Korea imposed a sudden ban on short selling of shares for the first half of the year after discovering illegal trades by foreign investment banks. Authorities stated that the ban would remain until adequate measures are in place to prevent such practices.

The FSS aims to implement the new monitoring system swiftly after finalizing it, although no specific date was provided for the implementation.

South Korean woman conned out of US$50,000 by fake Elon Musk she fell in love with on Instagram

Quick Glance: South Korean Woman Falls Victim to $50k Elon Musk Deepfake Scam

A South Korean woman was convinced to invest 70 million won ($50,770) after watching a fabricated video portraying someone who looked like Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, as reported locally on Tuesday.

Jeong Ji-sun, identified by the pseudonym at KBS, disclosed her experience as a victim of a romance scam on KBS's 'In-Depth 60 Minutes.' During the episode on April 19, Jeong narrated her initial interactions with the scammer posing as Musk.

Jeong's initial hesitations dissipated swiftly. The scammer forwarded his identification and a workplace photo to Jeong. Moreover, he discussed aspects such as his children and commuting to Tesla or SpaceX via helicopter. He further mentioned his sporadic outreach to fans.

The program highlighted the prevalent use of AI in these romance scams. The swindler engaged in a form of deception known as 'pig butchering,' as explained by the producer. This approach involves gradually enticing victims to increase their contributions to an apparently legitimate investment before the perpetrator vanishes.

Quick Glance: South Korea Q1 GDP Growth Exceeds Estimates

The South Korean economy grew faster than expected in the first quarter, driven by an increase in domestic consumption and robust exports. However, the sustainability of the recovery was questioned.

GDP for the January-March quarter grew by 1.3%, marking the sharpest expansion since the fourth quarter of 2021 and surpassing all forecasts.

Growth in domestic demand was the main factor behind the stronger-than-expected GDP, with private consumption increasing by 0.8%. Analysts expressed uncertainty regarding the long-term strength of economic growth.

Despite a rebound in exports and an increase in government spending, uncertainty remains regarding inflation outlook and monetary policy, as the Bank of Korea reconsiders its economic growth projections for 2024.

South Korea is considering relaxing reporting requirements for investors in the bond market to facilitate inclusion in FTSE Russell's global bond index.

Quick Glance: South Korean Court Deliberates Children's Climate Change Lawsuit Against Government

Environmental activist Choi Jia, alongside her younger sibling Choi Heewoo, participates in a press briefing preceding the initial hearing concerning petitions asserting that the government infringed upon their human rights due to an inadequate approach to climate change.

A public hearing regarding a lawsuit brought by twenty-four young environmental activists against the government commenced in one of South Korea's top judicial bodies on Tuesday. The plaintiffs argue that the government's negligence in addressing climate change left them unprotected.

Maintaining that South Korea's current climate strategies fall short in containing the temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius, the plaintiffs claim this breaches the state's duty to safeguard fundamental rights. Scientists caution about the dire consequences of surpassing a 1.5C temperature increase.

During the legal proceedings, the government asserted its commitment to minimizing carbon emissions and upholding its citizens' basic rights. Nevertheless, activists expressed dissatisfaction with the government's response and urged for more concrete actions against climate change.
