[Start Briefing] Korea's Low Fertility, which Musk was also worried about... More than 50% of unmarried people in their 30s.

On Thursday, October 31st, the start briefing will begin.

First of all, it's the Chosun Ilbo.

Statistics show that the unmarried rate in their 30s is over 50%.

In other words, one in two men and women in their 30s, the main age group for marriage and childbirth, is single.

In the midst of this, Tesla CEO Elon Musk's concerns about Korea's low birth rate are also a hot topic.

The unmarried rate was steadily increasing in the entire age group, especially in the 30s.

The unmarried rate of women in their 30s is 42%, and the unmarried rate of men is as high as 60%. By age group, the unmarried rate in their 20s is the highest at 95%.

Twenty years ago, people were getting married at the age of 30, but now times have changed. The age of marriage continues to rise as if another day goes by around the age of 30.

Last year was the first time that the unmarried rate in their 30s exceeded 50%.

By city and province, Seoul was the highest at 62.8%. Sejong had the lowest rate of 34.4 percent.

What Elon Musk said about the Korean population problem caught my attention.

If the fertility rate in Korea continues as it is, the population will decrease by one-third.

However, the number of marriages has been increasing for five consecutive months, and the number of births is also increasing.

There are also observations that the rise in the unmarried rate could be dampened.

Next is the JoongAng Ilbo.

This article deals with the 'resident population', which is considered an alternative to the regional extinction crisis.

'Surfing Holy Land' The number of visitors flocking to Yangyang, Gangwon-do, that is, 17.4 times the registered population.

The number of people staying means visitors who stay once a month for more than three hours a day.

The living population is the sum of the registered and resident populations.

This concept was introduced when it was pointed out that there is a limit to regional revitalization only by expanding the registered population.

In the second quarter of this year, the living population of 89 population-reduced areas nationwide was 28.5 million.

This is up 3.5 million from the first quarter.

The registered population remains the same, but it is due to the increase in the number of residents. Yangyang, Gangwon-do, and Gurye, Jeollanam-do, which have many tourists, have a large ratio of the resident population to the registered population.

The average card usage per resident is 115,000 won.

It is evaluated to help revitalize the local economy.

However, the National Assembly's Legislative Investigation Office left an opinion that a system that allows people to finally settle in the area without staying in the residential population is necessary.

Newspapers also point out that the design of the living population system should be tighter.

Next, let's look at the Kookmin Ilbo.

The braking in the domestic automobile market is unusual.

New car sales in the first three quarters of this year are the lowest in 10 years.

Hyundai Motor yesterday unveiled a teaser image of its new electric car, the Ioniq 9.

However, the electric vehicle market is in a slump.

If global electric vehicle catharsis has been around since the second half of last year, it has been prominent in Korea this year.

Consumer sentiment, which has been dampened by prolonged high interest rates, high prices, and high exchange rates, is also responsible for the slowdown in the automobile market.

By the third quarter of this year, the number of new car registrations is the lowest since 2013.

Hybrid cars are on the rise, but they are still not enough to lead the entire automobile market.

Eventually, the situation will change when consumers buy new cars, but the industry is not finding a sharp breakthrough.

Unless domestic consumer sentiment recovers, it is expected that it will be difficult to overcome the slump by the end of the year.

This is the next Hankook Ilbo.

It is an article that imitates the socially underprivileged without meaning, puts a spoon on the meme trend, and points out the shadow of domestic entertainment, saying, "Is it funny to laugh?"

Recently, SNL Korea became controversial by copying Hani, a member of the Newzins who attended the parliamentary audit.

I imitated Hani, a Vietnamese-Australian national, speaking poorly in Korean, and immediately, criticism of racism poured in.

The ills of K comedy, which thinks parody is 'simple imitation and imitation', have been revealed.

A few days ago, he parodied the drama character and the underage female protagonist, Young-soo, as a sexual target, which became controversial again.

It is the right parody to twist power and make it look at it from a critical perspective, but the SNL's skits are currently being criticized as meaningless and inappropriate.

Analysts say that the reason is that it has become like chasing memes and putting spoons on the topic.

The popular dating entertainment show "I Am Solo" also caused a stir.

I was fined for making a non-regular writer sign an unfair contract.Both

'SNL' and 'I'm Solo' became problems because they treated the socially weak recklessly.

The newspaper points out that experts need to think about improving the constitution of domestic entertainment production.

Let's look at the last article.

Christmas decorations light up the city center from tomorrow to the end of the year.

Department stores that have been sharpening knives and preparing will compete for "certification shot attractions."

A decade ago, Shinsegae Department Store introduced a "media façade" on the outer wall of its headquarters, sparking a Christmas decorative showdown.

Lotte Department Store's headquarters, which is 5OOm away, has also begun to work on the outer wall.

The Modern Seoul entered the competition by taking advantage of its open interior.

Christmas decorations have become the representative face of the company in the department store industry.

It is a project that works hard enough to create and prepare a dedicated team all year round.

This year, we plan to capture the eyes and ears of citizens through various decorations, lighting shows, super-large digital signage, and hot air balloons.

Where will be the year-end certification restaurant this year?

If you are curious, you can check it out tomorrow.

I looked at the newspaper on the morning of October 31st.

This has been the start briefing.
