In South Korea, Cha Kil-young sings with famous actresses, works out of an office in Seoul's exclusive Gangnam district, endorses brain-boosting drinks, and takes home an $8 million paycheck—all in the name of teaching math to high schoolers.
Cha runs an online "cram school"—a hagwon—that helps students prepare for South Korea's version of the SAT.
[...]
Cha isn't an average teacher, even by Korean standards. Regular school teachers in South Korea generally max out at just above $80,000 a year by the end of their career, according to data from the Center on International Education Benchmarking. Granted, that's $30,000 more than the OECD average, and South Korean teachers generally spend fewer hours in the classroom than teachers in almost all other developed countries.

A Korean-American woman accused of praising rival North Korea in a recent lecture said she is being deported Saturday from South Korea, in the latest in a series of cases that critics say infringe on the country's freedom of speech.

MOSCOW, Idaho - As triple homicide suspect John Lee made his first court appearance in Whitman County Monday afternoon for eluding charges, KHQ was learning more and more about the man accused of killing three people, and critically injuring another.
.....
One of the victims in the shooting spree was Lee's mother Terri Grzebielski. A neighbor of Grzebielski told KHQ Terri was proud of her sons. 76-year-old David Trail, 47-year-old Belinda Niebuhr, and Grzebielski were the three people killed in the shootings. The fourth person, Michael Chin, was taken to the hospital and placed in the Intensive Care Unit. As of Monday morning, KHQ's Victor Correa confirmed Chin in no longer in the ICU.
Watch Dogs Rescued From a Dog Meat Farm Get New Shot at Life
Twenty-three dogs that were destined for dinner plates in South Korea got a second chance at life this week. Rescued from a dog meat farm outside Seoul late last year, 11 of the canines arrived at the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria in Virginia on Monday, a first step on their journey to adoption. The remaining 12 dogs are also scheduled to arrive this week.
The group Humane Society International arranged the rescue by working with a South Korean farmer to stop his participation in the dog meat trade. The man agreed to grow crops as a more humane way of making a living, according to the group.
"It's estimated that 1.2 to 2 million dogs are consumed annually in Korea," said Kelly O'Meara, director for Humane Society International's companion animal-related international projects. The Humane Society focuses on eliminating cruel practices in the dog meat trade, she said. Animals on these farms typically live in overcrowded cages that are exposed to the elements and receive very little care or food, O'Meara added.
The newly arrived dogs will spend about a week being monitored for signs of illness or distress and given necessary care, said Megan Webb, executive director of the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria.
"We will need to limit their stimulation and get them accustomed to being in this new environment," she said.
Once staff members feel that the dogs are ready for adoption, five animal shelters in the region—in addition to the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria—will help place the animals in good homes.

Proof that white people have truly lost their minds. Whadda a bunch of emospastic twaddle. If they're miserable, just kill them softly.
Apparently giant tortoise is absolutely heavenly.

Dog isn't very widely eaten there anymore (if it ever was). Since the '88 Seoul Olympics dog restaurant have been officially banned thanks to nosy white people and basically only operate in backstreets with no English sings or menus. It's mainly seen as old man food since like most weird cuisine in Asia they think it has magical medicinal properties like keeping you cool in summer and making your dick hard. I doubt many younger Korean women have eaten it and most of the younger guys won't cop to it unless you're pretty good friends with them.
