- Singles make up 20% of all households in South Korea.
- The population of NEETs (for "not in employment, education, or training," a Japanese neologism) reaches 400,000 in South Korea.
- The Joongang Daily has a feature on how "multicultural children" (usually referring to families where one parent is Korean and the other is not) may be behind other kids in language skills.
- Suicides among seniors are on the increase.
Pearls of witticism from 'Bo the Blogger: Kushibo's Korea blog... Kushibo-e Kibun... Now with Less kimchi, more nunchi. Random thoughts and commentary (and indiscernibly opaque humor) about selected social, political, economic, and health-related issues of the day affecting "foreans," Koreans, Korea and East Asia, along with the US, especially Hawaii, Orange County and the rest of California, plus anything else that is deemed worthy of discussion. Forza Corea!
