-Why are they emphasizing it? What's the point of setting a period to mourn? It's a pain that will be remembered for a lifetime.

-I'll mourn however I want. Why are you deciding and acting all high and mighty? And does this government even function right now?

-It sounds like they're saying they won't make any appointments until the mourning period is over.

-They're trying to silence people again like they did after the Itaewon tragedyㅋㅋ

-Mourning is something you do on your own, why force it? It's obvious they're trying to silence us.

-Why put a time frame on mourning? Are they using this to silence the people and slack off during this period?

-Mourning is mourning, just do your job and don't mess around.

-We're in a state of no government. Who are you?

-I'll mourn however I want, so stop with this nonsense about a mourning period.

-Don't try to take advantage of this tragedy. It's disgusting.

-Just go to jail already.

-Why do this? People will mourn on their own, is this a dictatorship? Why are you setting a time limit?

-Do you think we're stupid?

-Even if you tell us not to mourn, we will still mourn. So stop playing president and just sign the papers, you bastard.

-You still need to work. How dare you use this as an excuse to slack off?

'My daughter said she was coming to see me' ... Thai mother is still waiting at the airport

 

A Thai woman in her 20s, who was aboard the Jeju Air flight that crashed while landing at Muan International Airport in South Jeolla Province, was on her way to visit her mother, who was living in Korea after getting married, when the tragedy occurred. At the time of the accident, her mother had gone to the airport to meet her daughter who was coming to see her.

According to the Thai Embassy in Korea and the Central Disaster Management Headquarters on the 29th, the Jeju Air flight was carrying two Thai nationals, a 22-year-old woman identified as A and a 45-year-old woman identified as B.

A was a fourth-year university student living ing Bangkok, Thailand, who boarded a flight to Muan at 1:30 AM (local time) from Suvarnabhumi International Airport, Bangkok, to visit her mother who lives in South Korea. A's mother, married to a Korean citizen and lives in South Korea on a marriage visa, was at the airport to pick up her daughter who had traveled a log way to see her when she heard the news of the accident. As the identification of the deceased has not yet been completed, she is still waiting at the airport for news of her daughter.

B, also married to a Korean citizen, lived in Naju, Jeollanam-do with her Korean Husband. Despite living far from home, she visited her family in Udon Thani, Thailand, about once a year. Earlier this month, she traveler to Thailand with her husband, who had returned to South Korea ahead of her. Unfortunately, B boarded in the flight that got into accident.

A representative from the Thai Embassy in South Korea stated, "We are in contact with B's family in Thailand. They desperately want to claim the body of the deceased." They added, "Since B was on a marriage visa, we need to contact her husband. However, we haven't been able to reach him yet. We are currently working to search for his contact information."

The crash occurred at 9:03 AM as the plane collided with the exterior wall while landing at Muan International Airport. The flight, Jeju Air Flight 7C2216, was a B737-800 carrying 181 people, including 175 passengers and 6 crew members.

As of 7:20 PM, authorities confirmed the deaths of 177 individuals and rescued two crew members. Rescue operations, which began at the rear of the aircraft, are ongoing to identify additional casualties.

'Squid Game 2' becomes the first show to take the #1 spot on Netflix in all countries

 

It's reported that the show topped the charts in all 93 countries, earning a maximum score of 930 points.

theqoo

-Even though it receives a lot of hate, people still watch it.

-Wow, that's impressive.

-Koreans are the only one who finds it boringㅋㅋㅋ It's because there are too many famous actors starring in it, making the storyline predictable.

-I watched it all in one day to avoid spoilers. Season 3 is going to be really important.

-If it's getting this much attention, they should have made it better. Even if it's just a bridge to Season 3, the quality is....

-It's just... watchable for me. Probably because I didn't watch Season 1 and watched this season with no expectations.

-Wow, it was really boring... but congrats anyway.

-I turned it on with high hopes but turned it off after episode 3 because it was boring. I wonder if it gets better later on?

-I guess I'm the only one who isn't watching it....

-Is it good? I haven't watched Season 1.

-I'm watching episode 4 right now.

-Don't lie, it's really bad.
