Kim Jong-il loved his yacht so much he was apparently buried with it. Now Kim Jong-un has shown he shares his father’s penchant for a luxury cruiser, reportedly displaying a gleaming £4.5 million vessel in spite of international sanctions.

The government says it will create 930-thousand “decent” part-time jobs as part of its plan to achieve 70 percent national employment by 2017.
In a joint ministerial announcement, the government unveiled this target of its finalized road map to meet its employment goal. It said it will cut work hours to provide more part-time job opportunities, particularly for women, as it works to meet its goal.
Reaching 70 percent national employment was one of President Park Geun-hye’s campaign pledges and a pillar in her plan to usher in an “era of public happiness,” which was the slogan she ran for president under.
South Korea’s entertainment industry isn’t known for tackling social issues, but it may be a catalyst behind changing views towards homosexuality.
In a recent global poll on attitudes towards homosexuality by the Pew Research Center, a Washington-based think tank, the number of South Koreans that agreed with the statement “homosexuality should be accepted by society” more than doubled from 2007 to this year to 39%. That was by far the biggest leap among the 39 countries surveyed.
While a majority still disagree with the statement, in the 18-29 age bracket 71% of South Koreans supported accepting homosexuality in society.

After already clinching four Guinness Records with his songs “Gangnam Style” and “Gentleman”, PSY has recently received the confirmation of his fifth one: Largest Gangnam Style Dance. The fact that the record is specific to the dance craze that the Korean singer created is an honor in itself. The rapper had done the viral horse dance with 100,000 Seoul citizens. This, along with PSY and his song’s popularity, was enough to get the official nod from the Guinness Book of World Records.
