◇ 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. The first news is about the audit. Yesterday, there was a witness who was criticized by the ruling and opposition party lawmakers at the National Assembly?

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: Yes, Peter Kwak, CEO of Adidas Korea, attended the National Policy Committee's audit of the Fair Trade Commission yesterday as a witness. This is to be asked about the unilateral termination of the franchise contract by the Korean branch of Adidas, the so-called 'suspicious of power abuse'.
 
The first question was Shin Sung-sik, a member of the Cho Kuk Innovation Party. When it took a minute for an interpreter accompanied by Kwak to interpret it, Representative Shin raised his voice, saying he was doing a "show."

Representative Shin's 'show' was about interpreting. This is because CEO Kwak is known to be good at Korean. Kang Min-guk, a member of the People's Power, also pushed back, saying, "Did you accompany an interpreter when you earned your master's degree in Korea?" and Adidas, who came out with him, said, "CEO Kwak announced all important events in Korean," adding, "It's the first time I've seen him." 

In response, CEO Kwak asked for understanding, saying, "I failed to answer properly at the parliamentary inspection last year, and there is a risk of perjury," but the atmosphere did not subside.    

◇ Choi Soo-young: I know. Last year, the same thing came out in the National Assembly, but is there still no progress?

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: This is a problem that started when Adidas headquarters demanded that some permanent discount stores be handed over. In January 2022, Adidas Korea announced that it would not renew contracts with more than 80 franchisees as it reorganized its business. It was all except for 19 people. They said they would give a three-year grace period, but from the owners, they claim that they did not give out popular products or give them profits from selling online products they had shared.

 As a result, there are store owners who couldn't withstand it and went bankrupt. Due to this issue, representative Peter Kwak also attended the National Policy Committee's parliamentary audit last year.
 
However, it is said that the headquarters has never met with store owners in the year since then. 

 It was also pointed out last year against Fair Trade Commission Chairman Han Ki-jung, who rebuked the Fair Trade Commission, saying it had done virtually nothing.

◇ Lee Ik-seon: Here's the news. These days, there are a series of "order fraud" incidents impersonating soldiers all over the country, so is there another new type of fraud?

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: If you're listening to self-employed people near the military, you should be careful. The methods are generally similar. First, a person who introduces himself as a soldier makes reservations or orders in large quantities, saying that he or she uses them for military get-togethers.
 
For credit, we are also sending a public official's card with photos and a "commitment to supply military supplies."

After that, I call the place where I ordered a large amount of meat and ask them to order wine instead. Knowing that the company is a military unit, the price negotiations are not going well, but if you place an order instead, you will pay for the meat by adding the price of wine.I had to sell

meat, so I had no choice but to remit 5 million won for wine to the company that told me, but I've lost contact since then.

This happened in Jeongseon, Gangwon-do, and later contacted a paint company in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi-do, and a florist in Ulsan, asking for a proxy payment in a similar way.

Police have launched an investigation into the matter, and military officials say they are also considering countermeasures to prevent the damage.

◇ Choi Soo-young: When you say 60 years old and 60 years old, it used to be time to retire and take a break and prepare for the rest of your life, but now you're looking for a new job?

◆ [Lee Hyun-woong] That's right. Retirement at the age of 60 seems to be an old saying now. According to statistics released recently, 6.74 million people were employed over the age of 60 as of September, surpassing those in their 50s.

 This is the first time since 1982 when related statistics were written. Last month, the proportion of those aged 60 or older among all employed was 23.4%, the highest ever, and the increase in absolute numbers was also noticeable.

 When statistics were first compiled in 1982, about 40 years ago, the proportion of employed people aged 60 or older was about 6%, a quarter of those in their 20s, but now the number of employed people aged 60 or older is twice that of those in their 20s.As the aging population of

accelerates, the labor market is also unable to avoid the impact, and some predict that the extension of the retirement age will accelerate, along with voices calling for ways to actively utilize the know-how of elderly workers.

◇ Interest line: In fact, I think it's time for us to rethink the definition of "old age" and "old age" as well.The president of the Senior Citizens' Association suggested raising the age standard for senior citizens to 75?

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: Lee Jung-geun, chairman of Booyoung Group, who is well known for making a big decision to pay 100 million won per child, took office as the 19th president of the Korea Senior Citizens' Association. This is what I suggested at the inauguration.

The elderly population is currently 10 million, but it will be 20 million by 2050, he said, adding that if we focus on elderly welfare, we are concerned that the working population will disappear. At the same time, it was suggested that the age of the elderly should be raised gradually by one year per year to 75 so that the number of the elderly can be properly managed.

At the same time, he also mentioned issues such as pension age and retirement age extension.

◇ Choi Soo-young: Next is baseball news. Game 1 of the Korean Series started yesterday, but the results didn't come out? What's going on here?

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: It started to rain before yesterday's game was scheduled. Eventually, it was held more than an hour late. A tight pitching match was held, and Samsung's Kim Hun-gon's solo home run in the top of the sixth inning gave him a 1-0 lead.

Then, two batters got on base again, and it was on the first and second bases with no outs, but when the rain got thicker, the referee finally declared the game to be suspended.

I waited about 40 minutes, but the rain showed no signs of stopping, and eventually suspended, or suspended, was declared.

So, at 4 p.m. today, it will resume with the first and second base attacks with no outs in the top of the sixth inning at 1-0. Samsung, which was leading, came out with a more regretful voice.

Samsung manager Park Jin-man said, "It's embarrassing that something that didn't happen even during the season," but in fact, suspended games have only appeared 11 times in 43 years in the regular season, and it's the first time it's happened in "Autumn Baseball."The reason why

Suspended games are so rare is that if it rains a lot or is predicted to rain a lot, it plays rain. Coach Park also indirectly complained to the KBO secretariat, saying, "I thought I shouldn't start the game today."

◇ Lee Ik-seon: But it's raining again today. Can it be delayed again?

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: Yes, it's predicted to rain all over the country today. If the game is expected to be difficult to play, it will be postponed for another day to hold the first and second games tomorrow.

Meanwhile, we can start and watch the situation. In that case, cold games may occur, so it seems to be more cautious about continuing the game.

If the game does not proceed as scheduled, it may be difficult for each team as well as the players to show their condition, and the calculation method has become very complicated because various variables arise depending on the changed schedule. Attention is focusing on which team will laugh at the end.

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

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: Yes, thank you.
