◇ Lee Ik-seon: We are only delivering the hottest issues today. Choi Hwi's issue briefing, Whipping News announcer Choi Hwi is here. Welcome. The first news of Whipping News, shall we go to the National Assembly?

◆ Choi Hwi: I think the National Assembly will be busy today. At the plenary session at 2 p.m., the ruling and opposition parties will not only re-vote the contentious bills, but also deal with more than 70 non-contentious bills agreed upon by the ruling and opposition parties. First of all, the bill on the people's livelihood, which is not opposed by the ruling and opposition parties, is expected to be There are bills related to strengthening punishment for deepfake sex crimes, extending the period of parental leave, and pre-payment of child support. It includes punishment for possessing or watching deepfake sexual exploitation even though you know it is a deepfake sexual exploitation, and increasing the period of parental leave from the current maximum of two years to a maximum of three years. There are many non-controversial bills that have no disagreement between the ruling and opposition parties, but they passed the National Assembly earlier led by the opposition party. Re-voting is also scheduled for six controversial bills, including the Broadcasting Act, the National Support Act of 250,000 won, and the Yellow Envelope Act, which President Yoon Suk Yeol has vetoed. In order to be approved in the re-voting, we need the approval of at least two-thirds of the members present, right? If all the ruling and opposition party lawmakers attend, more than eight people should leave from the people's power, but the possibility is not high. It is expected that it will go through the process of disposal after the rejection. While the People's Power launched a crackdown on votes, saying, "We will definitely discard the evil law," the Democratic Party of Korea appealed to ruling party lawmakers to vote for their opinions, saying, "Please vote in favor of it based on your conscience." The political situation of repeating the exercise of veto and re-voting like a wheel is expected to continue in the future.

◈ Choi Soo-young: What's the next news?

◆ Choi Hwi: The news is that the country's barn has been flat for two years. The government predicted that the amount of national tax revenue this year will be nearly 30 trillion won short of the budget. According to the Ministry of Strategy and Finance, the re-estimation of national tax revenues is expected to fall 29.6 trillion won short of the budget this year. Following last year's tax slump of 56.4 trillion won, a large-scale tax deficit has become a reality for the second year. The cause of the poor face wash, we have to see. The Ministry of Economy and Finance cited a larger-than-expected drop in corporate tax revenues this year and a decrease in asset market-related taxes, including capital gains taxes, due to sluggish real estate transactions as the main reasons for the lack of tax revenues. As for how to make up for this lack of tax revenue, the government says there is no extra revenue. He explained that he would consider making the most of the extra funds of the fund and disposing of the project budget, which is inevitably difficult to execute within the year, so not spending it.

◇ Lee Ik-seon: Son Heung-min's determined statement came out. What did you say?

◆ Choi Hwi: Yes, Tottenham's 'captain' Son Heung-min hit directly that there are too many games to play in a season. The UEFA's murderous schedule has recently become a hot topic in the European soccer community. There is even a possibility of players going on strike. Son Heung-min also added a voice to this. Tottenham will play the first Europa League phase against Karabakh (Azerbaijan) at 4 a.m. tomorrow (27th) Korean time. "The players are not robots," he said at a press conference ahead of the showdown. "You have to manage your condition and reduce the number of games to show better performance," he said. "There is little time to recover due to the high schedule and movement of the game, but if you play without being mentally and physically prepared, the risk of injury is enormous," he pointed out. Earlier, Manchester City's Rodri and Manchester United (England) coach Erik tenhach also publicly raised the issue, saying that the schedule of games has become too much as various tournaments have increased. Son Heung-min, a player who has never expressed that he is having a hard time, has joined the criticism of overwork.

◈ Choi Soo-young: The next news is dizzying news from Peru, right?

◆ Choi Hwi: A Korean businessman was kidnapped and rescued in Lima, the capital of Peru, South America. In the early morning of the 24th local time, A, a Korean businessman in his 60s, lost contact after breaking up with an acquaintance. On the same afternoon, a company employee called A's cell phone, and the family members who were suspicious of what others had received reported it to the Embassy of the Republic of Korea. The kidnappers were caught by the police while moving to another location after demanding a large ransom from A. The rescue operation was carried out right away, and the process was more urgent than the movie. In the middle of the city, a gunfight broke the window of a police car and an officer was injured when one of the two grenades thrown by kidnappers at a police car exploded during the escape. There were three kidnappers arrested at the scene. A video of the situation at the time of the rescue was released, and the kidnapped Korean businessman was lying long on the floor of the back seat of the vehicle. I'm so glad that we were rescued. Currently, it is said that it is not life-threatening, but he injured part of his body during the detention process and is being treated at a hospital. Peru has been considered a relatively safe place for security among South American countries. Michelin restaurants are also the largest in the world as the capital of gastronomy, but the number of kidnappings is increasing due to the recent deepening economic crisis. As the number of kidnappings began to increase from 1,600 in 2020 to 4,000 last year, it more than doubled sharply.

◇ Lee Ik-seon: This is the last news. I saw this article today, and I was completely fooled. Is there a fake video of Kim Yo Jong dancing?

◆ Choi Hwi: Yes, I was tricked by only seeing small photos and titles. It was a deepfake video of Kim Yo-jong, vice-chairman of the North Korean Workers' Party, dancing to Cho Hyun-ah's "I'll Give You." Last month, this video produced by YouTuber "Hwasongin Lildoji" exploded in views. Right before the broadcast, when I watched it at 1:40, the number of views was 680,000. It is shocking to see Kim Yo-jong dancing in a short pink dress in the video, but the lyrics are the peak of a fire dragon. "I'll give you all the trash," "I'll give you all the trash," and "I'll give you all the trash." It was a sarcastic message to North Korea, which has been spraying filth balloons to South Korea. Behind Vice Minister Kim, North Korean soldiers appeared as backup dancers and danced with swords. In addition to this video, there are many deepfake videos parodying North Korean leader Kim Jong-un on the channel. I was a bit worried. Internet users responded by saying, "Shock and admiration itself," "I applauded in North Korea," and "I've never seen a channel that I'm worried about becoming famous in my life." Let's protect YouTubers from the threat of assassination."

◇ Lee Ik-seon: We've all looked at Whipping News. Thank you for your efforts.

◆ Choi Hwi: Yes, thank you.
