Yesterday's(6.05) JoongAng Ilbo published a quite interesting feature, entitled Pyongyang’s grand architectural statements...

The piece also mentioned N. Korea's Chollima Movement [...]which translates into English as the “Excellent Horse Movement”...

Well, dear JoongAng Ilbo,
in the case of the "upcoming reunification of the Korean Peninsula"(according to the almost daily propaganda in the N. Korean media) - of course under the wise leadership of the respected Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un(^^) - you should try to get more and better informed about N. Korea's history, incl. its propaganda and (unique)language!

So, dear JoongAng Ilbo, please keep in mind that the word Chollima(천리마) is translated as “thousand li horse,” referring to its ability to travel 1,000 li (400 kilometers) in a single day..(more detailed English info you'll get here).

Finally, dear JoongAng Ilbo, it's up to you if you want to survive after the "upcoming reunification of the Korean Peninsula"(according to the almost daily propaganda in the N. Korean media) - of course under the wise leadership of the respected Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un(^^), or to be...

Today's Hankyoreh reported the following: An amendment to the Minimum Wage Act including regular bonuses paid more than once a month and benefits such as food, transportation, and lodging expenses into the scope of the minimum wage was passed in a regular session of the National Assembly on the afternoon of May 28... The outcry from the labor world has been intense. The Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) held a Seoul-area demonstration before the National Assembly...

...with around 5,000 participants that day, as well as general strike rallies in 13 other cities around South Korea to call for an “end to discussions on changing the minimum wage for the worse”...(more you can read here)

Already y'day evening(KST) a S. Korean activist reported the following: 80,000 KMWU members downed tools for at least 2 hours today to respond to KCTU's call for an urgent general strike against changes to Minimum Wage Act that would enable employers to "meet" minimum wage standards without actually raising workers' wages (it's simple, just apply new math calculations!).

Hyundai Motor workers led the strike wave downing tools at 1:30 pm (and separate strike for afternoon shift) and GM Korea workers held general assemblies for rank and file to heed the KCTU call.

Employers such as Hyundai Motor leafletted the workers with "illegal strike" rhetoric to intimidate workers from participating in the strike...
