◇ Lee Ik-seon: Let's open the second part with Aung Da-woong News. Announcer Lee Hyunwoong, who will be with us today as well, is here. Hello~

◆ Hello!

◇ Lee Ik-seon: First news. I was surprised to hear this news roughly....You've been caught serving as a deputy?

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: Deputy enlistment. I literally joined the military on behalf of the prospective soldier. A man in his late 20s conspired to share half of the soldiers' salaries and entered the boot camp on behalf of another man who was about to join the army. The identification process was carried out by looking at the ID card during the admission process, but the Military Manpower Administration did not notice that the enlistment had changed and eventually joined the army instead in July this year and was serving in the military for three months. However, the crime was revealed when an existing prospective soldier turned himself in to the Military Manpower Administration in September, fearing that he would be caught later. It is understood that the two met through the Internet. It is said that the body type is different, but the appearance is similar depending on the appearance.

◈ Choi Soo-young: In the end, I'm only checking with one photo on my ID card, but it feels a little sloppy?

◆ [Lee Hyun-woong] That's right. It is said that this case is the first time since the establishment of the Military Manpower Administration in 1970. We are continuing to point out the identification process. Some say that it should be supplemented with a separate system that can share body information of active military enlistment targets. Military Manpower Administration officials also said they will consider iris recognition or the introduction of a facial system. First of all, regarding this case, the Military Manpower Administration employees who have not properly identified themselves plan to take action after checking the facts. The two men who conspired to enter the military as surrogates will be handed over to the prosecution for trial.

◇ Lee Ik-seon: The next news goes to the entertainment industry. There's another news of illegal gambling that you can hear when you forget. Comedian Lee Jinho admitted it, right?

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: Yes, I admitted to illegal gambling through social media yesterday. I started in 2020 and took on an unaffordable debt, and now I'm out of gambling, but I've already had financial help from many people, and I wrote that I'll change until I die. Lee Jin-ho is known to have borrowed money from fellow celebrities for reasons such as 'I'm in a hurry because of my parents' work' and 'I have to pay taxes'. There were also reports that debt reached 2.3 billion, including acquaintances and loan businesses. It was already known that an acquaintance was sued for fraud in June for not paying back the money. The police are expected to launch a formal investigation soon. The news also sparked a fire in the program where Lee Jin-ho appeared. The program, which was on a regular appearance, is said to be taking steps to get off or being edited, and Hwaseong City, his hometown, where he served as a public relations ambassador, is also considering lifting his appointment.

◈ Choi Soo-young: On the other hand, I told you once before, but Hani from Newzins attended the parliamentary audit today?

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: Yes, Hani arrived at the National Assembly as I had announced. He appeared in jeans, a white shirt, and casual attire. There was a lot of attention, but I entered with a relaxed smile. Hani claimed in a live broadcast on the 11th of last month that there was an outcast in Hive in the past. Since then, related complaints have been received by the Ministry of Employment and Labor in succession, and as controversy has spread, officials have been adopted as witnesses and reference persons in the National Assembly. This is expected to be covered in today's parliamentary audit of the National Assembly's Environment and Labor Committee. Attention is focusing on what remarks Hani will make as a reference and Adore Kim Joo-young will appear as a witness. The two will wait in a separate space and attend the parliamentary audit together. The National Assembly restricted on-site coverage of the National Assembly due to concerns that large crowds, including reporters, would gather.

◇ Lee Ik-seon: Let's see one more news from the entertainment industry. This time, it's an assault case, and singer Jessie could appear at the police in connection with the recent fan assault case?

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: First of all, to give you an overview of the case, it happened at dawn on the 29th of last month. An 18-year-old minor fan who found singer Jessie was assaulted by another group around her after requesting a photo shoot. Jesse left the scene without actively stopping him even after witnessing this scene. When this fact became known and criticism formed, Jesse posted an apology. The person who assaulted him was the first to see him that day, and he said he was embarrassed by the sudden situation and couldn't consider the fan carefully. However, even after the apology was delivered, the victim expressed anger, saying that he did not feel sincere and seemed to be making excuses. When some argued that "the assailant was Chinese and he left Korea now," and that "there seems to be a Korean gang in the line of work," the proposal said that he hopes to reflect unilateral claims or refrain from reporting based on speculation. In order to reveal the related facts, the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul said yesterday that it is considering calling in those who were at the scene one after another, including Jessi.

◈ Choi Soo-young: Lastly, let's look at the news of our society. A survey shows that the number of unmarried men and women who "want to" marry and give birth has increased? It's not "I don't want to do it" but "I want to do it" right?

◆ [Lee Hyun-woong] That's right. According to the results of the perception survey released by the Low Fertility and Aging Society Committee, positive perceptions of marriage and childbirth have increased from earlier this year. Compared to March, the previous survey conducted with the same question, first of all, positive perceptions of marriage rose 0.6 percentage points to 71.5%. The perception of men in their 20s increased significantly by 7.1 percentage points, and women in their 30s also increased by 1.2 percentage points. The percentage of unmarried men and women who said they would like to get married was also noticeable. It rose to 65.4% in September from 61% in March, and women in their 30s in particular rose significantly from 48.4% to 60%. The number of respondents who thought they should have children also increased from 61.1% to 68.2%. The increase was the largest among women in their 20s. Regarding the move, a senior official said, "It seems that factors such as the government's announcement of measures and the expansion of corporate support have played a role."

◇ Lee Ik-seon: We've been talking about low birth rate measures and looking at the effects of European policies as 'exemplary examples', but there are reports that European policies didn't work?

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: This is the story of the Wall Street Journal article on the 13th. Hungary and Norway, which have high birth benefits in Europe, are also struggling to raise the total fertility rate, it said. Hungary spent more money on family policy than expected in defense and worked hard to increase the population. Although some achievements have been made, there has been a reversal, with the number of births recently decreasing by 10% compared to the previous year. The Wall Street Journal reported an interview by a Hungarian woman who said it was not morally right to have more children to benefit, noting that measures focused on the middle class and the government's stance to encourage traditional families have halved the effectiveness of the policy. Meanwhile, Norway has been considered the country with the best childcare welfare system, such as parental leave and subsidies. However, it has recently been found that it has not been able to avoid the flow of low birth rates. Demographers say that the reason for reluctance to give birth is not just an economic problem, but a cultural change. Norway also established a low birth rate committee in August to study the causes of the decline in the birth rate.

◇ Lee Ik-seon: We've looked at all the news prepared today.

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: Yes, thank you.
