Foreign visitor spending linked to Korean cultural activities reached a record high in April.
According to the Korea Tourism Organization's "Visit Korea Data Lab," Korean culture consumption totaled 1-point-328 trillion won, or approximately 8-hundred 73 million U.S. dollars in April, up nearly 22 percent from the previous month and more than 54 percent from the year before.
Culture consumption, or "Global Hallyu Consumption," tracks spending by foreign visitors on activities including concerts, shopping, beauty, fashion, and cultural experiences.
The surge follows boy band BTS's Gwanghwamun comeback concert in March, when spending topped one trillion won for the first time, and climbed even higher in April as the band's world tour launched in Goyang.

A fortress located in the heart of Daegu, which currently serves as a zoo has revealed new insights into the past.
A recent excavation has uncovered sophisticated construction techniques used during the Silla Kingdom some 1-thousand-500 years ago.

For the first time, an archaeological excavation was conducted to reveal the construction methods used to build Dalseong 1,500 years ago during the Silla Dynasty.
The fortress has a circumference of 1,300 meters, slightly smaller than Gyeongju's Wolseong Palace.
However, with a width of 35 meters and a height of 17 meters, it is comparable in scale.

Early summer weather continues under bright skies. And that will bring UV levels to very high nationwide in the afternoon, so try to avoid direct sun exposure between noon and 3 PM when UV levels are at their highest. And sunscreen is a must.
Meanwhile, brief showers are expected this afternoon across the mountainous areas of Gangwon-do Province and Gyeongsang-do provinces, with around 5 millimeters in the forecast. And since we are in the early stage of summer, there will be a frequent chance of passing rain, so keep an umbrella handy that can shield you from light rain and UV rays.
And this afternoon, Seoul will get up to 28 degrees Celsius, Daegu to 29 degrees Busan and Jeju will be much more comfortable at 24 degrees.

Program buying orders were temporarily suspended for five minutes at 9-12 A-M after the key KOSPI 200 futures index jumped 5.16 percent to 1-thousand-2-hundred-39-point-0-5.
The rebound comes one day after panic selling triggered both sidecars and circuit breakers across the KOSPI and KOSDAQ markets, halting trade during Monday's historic plunge.
As of 9-30 AM, the main index stood at 7-thousand-7-hundred-58-point-1-6, up 3-point-5-7 percent compared to yesterday's closing.

North Korea is estimated to possess around 60 nuclear warheads as of January 2026 — ten more than last year — according to the Swedish think tank, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, on Monday.
The institute explained that North Korea may have produced enough fissile material to manufacture up to 90 nuclear warheads. However, the actual number of assembled warheads is believed to be lower, likely around 60 at most.
As for China, the report said Beijing possessed around 6-hundred-20 nuclear warheads as of January this year, an increase of 20 from the previous year.
It also noted that China expanded its operational nuclear deployment, with the number of warheads deployed rising from 24 last year to 34 this year.

“Fighting!” This is Korea’s unique way of saying “You can do it” or “You got this!” At first, many people thought it was just Konglish a Korean-style English expression.

Actors do it at press events, entertainers do it on TV shows, and even national athletes do it before leaving for international competitions. Because honestly there are moments in life when everyone needs a little “fighting.” And speaking of that the real “fighting” season is almost here. The World Cup is just around the corner. So today, we’re sending a bi...
