◇ 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: This is the first news of Aung Daung News in November. North Korea officially reported the launch of an ICBM today?

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: Yes. North Korea's internal and external media reported the news of the missile launched yesterday.

North Korea claimed that the missile launched yesterday was a new intercontinental ballistic missile called the Hwasong-19. It also revealed the maximum peak altitude and distance, which seems to have improved performance compared to the Hwasong-18 type launched in December last year, and according to North Korea's expression, it is the final ICBM.

In response, the South Korean military analyzed that North Korea may have launched a new ICBM using solid fuel. U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said there is no indication yet whether Russian technology was used in the ICBM launch, but it is too early to make a final decision.

The launch has led to criticism from the international community.


◇ Choi Soo-young: Not long ago, I told you that there was a claim that the North Korean troops dispatched to Russia had already engaged in combat, but the related video was released?

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: Yes. Late last month, the head of the Lithuanian non-profit organization Blue-Yellow reported that he had made his first visual contact with the North Korean military on October 25, claiming that all but one had died.

Since then, Ukrainian President Zelensky has appeared to be ending, saying the North Korean military has not yet participated in the fighting and also denying reports of infiltration across the Ukrainian border.

However, a video supporting the existing claim has appeared, drawing attention. The video, which is about 2 minutes and 7 seconds, was uploaded on the pro-Ukraine Telegram channel. The video shows a man lying in a hospital bed with bandages on his head and face. The bandages are already stained with blood and pus. The man, believed to be a North Korean soldier, criticized Russia with a North Korean accent.

The man 'forced the Russian army to enter the battle recklessly.He said, 'Russia did not conduct any reconnaissance and gave no weapons before the attack,' 'There were 40 members of my unit, all of whom were killed.' and 'I was able to survive by hiding under the bodies of my comrades.'

He added, "Ukrainian forces are highly motivated, but Russian forces have lost many weapons.The video ends by saying, 'Putin will lose this war.'

It has not been confirmed whether this man is really a North Korean soldier and participated in the battle. However, if true, it would also contradict the U.S. analysis that the North Korean military has not yet been deployed to combat.

◇ Lee Ik-seon: Next is the news of shooter Kim Ye-ji. You looked really impressive during the Olympics, and that scene led you to become a Tesla ambassador?

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: Kim Ye-ji, who calmly puts down her gun with an indifferent expression even after setting a new world record, is there a lot of people who still have clear memories?

Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who fell in love with the scene at the time, shared the scene on social media and commented, "Let's cast it in an action movie." And the name 'Kim Ye-ji' became known to many people around the world who watch Musk's SNS.

After the Olympics, Kim Ye-ji was selected as one of the top 10 top-rated stars of the Paris Olympics by NBC in the U.S. and held a photo shoot with numerous global fashion brands. This time, I finally have a relationship with Tesla.

He was selected as Tesla Korea's ambassador. It's said to be the first in Korea. Kim Ye-ji said, "I'm happy to be with Tesla who recognized me." Kim Ye-ji's agency said, "It will be a meaningful activity to connect the sustainable future with sports."

◇ Choi Soo-young: Is it controversial because there is an American YouTuber who recently entered Korea and filmed videos of various misbehaviors?

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: Yes. It's a YouTuber named Johnny Somali. It's amazing to see what you've done so far. In addition to desecrating and mocking the girl statue, one convenience store interferes with its business by playing music loudly and dancing, and soon boils cup noodles, throws them all over the store, and spills the soup. They play pornography or play North Korean music on public transportation.

They also provoke Koreans by holding up the Japanese Rising Sun Flag and shouting the name of Dokdo, 'Takeshima', which Japan claims.

As reports of Somali have been made one after another, the police have also launched an investigation. There is also a ban on leaving the country at the moment.

Somali didn't do this only in Korea. In May last year, he was arrested by police for yelling "I will drop an atomic bomb" on the Tokyo subway in Japan, and in March this year, he became a problem for arguing with citizens in Thailand. In April, he was arrested for making sexual harassment remarks against police officers in Tel Aviv, Israel.

We continue to post the situation of insulting the police who went to other countries and committed nuisance and were dispatched as content.

◇ Lee Ik-seon: By the way, some YouTubers also say that "bashing cows" is popular, what does this mean?

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: If you look at the actions of Somali, there are a lot of things that make me really angry as a Korean. Some YouTubers are tracking Somali and actually assaulting them, and filming them on video.

Controversy continues over private sanctions. Recently, a YouTuber in his 20s was arrested by police after meeting Somali and wielding violence. Concerns about wasting police administration are also growing among YouTubers who make a fuss, another YouTuber who tracks it down and punishes it privately.

◇Q4-1. Choi Soo-young: The last one is about the weather. There was also concern about Typhoon No. 21 'Kongrey', but you avoided the direct impact, right?

◆ [Lee Hyun-woong] That's right. Typhoon 'Kong Lei' hit Taiwan. Since then, it has been moving along the southern coast of China with weakened power. As you pass through Taiwan, where there are many mountain ranges, your power has weakened from very strong to weak. Tonight, it is expected to turn into a temperate low pressure.

If 'Kongrey' landed on the Korean Peninsula or directly affected it, it was expected to be recorded as a typhoon in November for the first time since 1951, when typhoon-related statistical data began to be prepared. Fortunately, it seems that the direct impact will be avoided. However, it is expected to be affected by rain clouds accompanied by low pressure.

As water vapor flows in, rain clouds are being created in Jeju Island and the southern part of the country. As a lot of rain and strong winds are predicted, caution against safety accidents is needed.

◇ Lee Ik-seon: By the way, the temperature drops sharply after this rain stops?

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: Yes. This rain is expected to stop gradually from the southern part of the country tomorrow morning. After that, so the weather changes rapidly from next week.

Early next week, the cold wind will strengthen as the continental high pressure with cold air expands in the northwest. On Tuesday and Wednesday, morning temperatures in the central interior drop by nearly zero degrees.

There is a possibility that a cold wave warning will be issued. Even now, there are days around 20 degrees Celsius during the day, so I can still see some people wearing short sleeves, so you should prepare your coat and padding in advance to wear next week.

The temperature itself is low, but the cold felt is expected to be worse as the weather changes rapidly. Please pay attention to respiratory diseases such as colds. I hope you take good care of your personal health.

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

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: Yes, thank you.
