◇ 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 press conference of the group Newzins, which was announced in surprise last evening, how did it go?

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: The members of New Jin's held an emergency press conference and announced their separation from the agency, Adore. I was just saying that as soon as it becomes midnight on the 29th, I will terminate the exclusive contract. He said he has no choice but to leave because he has neither the will nor the ability to protect the artist. In addition, the agency is responsible for this incident, so it said it will not file an injunction lawsuit to terminate the contract and will not pay a penalty.

He also expressed his willingness to keep the group name 'Newzins'. According to Newzins' claim, the exclusive contract has already been terminated, but he said he would handle the scheduled schedule for now.

I also showed up at Gimpo International Airport this morning to attend an event in Japan. The members wore hats and sunglasses, and moved to a somewhat stern atmosphere unlike usual.

Member 'Minji' changed the profile picture of the fan communication app to the so-called 'Leave GIF', and member 'Hani' changed the status message to 'see you on the other side', or 'See you somewhere else'.

◇ Choi Soo-young: About an hour after the press conference, there was a rebuttal from Adore, what was it about?

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: Odor expressed regret that NewsGins held a press conference without sufficient review even before receiving a reply about the proof of content. At the same time, he said that unilaterally claiming that trust was broken cannot be a reason for termination of the contract.

He also said that he had asked for meetings several times, but it didn't happen, and that he hoped we could meet and talk honestly even now. I could see that the two sides have completely different views on the current situation.

Following that, Adore released the entire reply to the content certification today. It revealed the 26-page content, saying that it took the best possible action and responded faithfully to the eight demands made by Newzins and replied by email and mail on November 28th.

The exclusive contract is valid until July 2029, and it is said that it is recruiting a new producer so that Newzins can keep its own color and perform music that they want to do.

Meanwhile, Newzins' fandom "Berniz" gave the members a boost by making a statement that they fully supported them.

There are predictions that litigation worth hundreds of billions of won between Newzins and Adore will be inevitable.

◇ Lee Ik-seon: Here's the news. Not long ago, we also told you about airline mileage, and the merger of Korean Air and Asiana Airlines has exceeded the final gateway?

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: Yes, the European Commission, the EC, which was actually considered the last gateway, finally approved the merger of the two airlines. What's left is the United States. As it is predicted that the U.S. Department of Justice will not file a separate monopoly lawsuit, it is said that the business combination review has actually been completed. Korean Air also said it will finalize the final transaction closing process within this year.

Korean Air has been struggling for four years since it announced that it would take over Asiana Airlines in November 2020. It is predicted that it will take an additional two years to achieve a complete merger. Until then, we will operate under our own brand and launch it as an integrated Korean Air after working on manpower relocation.

If this happens, you will be reborn as the world's top 10 super-large airline. There is an expectation that competitiveness can be increased based on cost reduction.

But there are also voices of concern. As expected, I am worried that job cuts will occur during the manpower relocation process. Earlier, Korean Air said there would be no artificial manpower restructuring, but the anxiety has not completely disappeared.

In addition, we have to solve the mileage integration problem, low-cost airlines, and LCC mergers that we talked about.

◇ Choi Soo-young: Korean Air has Jin Air and Asiana has Air Busan and Air Seoul as LCC subsidiaries, will the three airlines be merged?

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: Yes. Subsidiaries will also go through the integration process. Currently, Jeju Air is No. 1 in the LCC industry. If the three companies combine, they will be overwhelmingly No. 1 in sales and passenger numbers.

At the same time, the aviation industry predicts that LCC tectonic changes will begin. Previously, Jeju Air, the No. 1 player, promoted it in the past. Some predict that the company will try again to acquire Eastar Jet, which was abandoned due to the impact of COVID-19, and others say it should pay attention to the move of Daemyung Sono Group, which became the second-largest shareholder of T'way Airlines and Air Premia.

◇ Lee Ik-seon: Let's go to the soccer world this time. Chung Mong-gyu, president of the Korea Football Association, has decided to try for the fourth term?

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: Amid growing calls for Chung Mong-gyu's resignation due to the recent controversy over the appointment of a director and various administrative uncertainties, Chairman Chung is said to have confirmed his intention to seek a fourth term.

Although he was worried about criticism, he finally chose to run, and it is expected that he will step down as chairman by the 2nd of next month, 50 days before the end of his term, as stipulated by the Korea Football Association to run for the next presidential election. And on this day, it is reported that it plans to request the Sports Fair Committee of the Korea Sports Council to review the second term.

The election for the next president of the Korea Football Association will be held on January 8th next year. Earlier, former national soccer team coach Huh Jung-moo expressed his intention to run, saying he has a sense of responsibility to revive the falling Korean soccer.

Meanwhile, there is news that an unexpected soccer mogul is considering running for the next president of the Korea Football Association. Lee Yong-soo, former vice president of the Korea Football Association, is mentioned as a candidate. If you really run, it will be held in a primary manner for the first time in 12 years.

◇ Choi Soo-young: Let's talk about the weather for the last time. There was a scene that heated up the Internet community yesterday when it snowed a lot. Someone was seen skiing down the street in Gwanggyo, but they were identified?

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: Cars on the snow can't easily move forward, but the image of a man riding a skis with a backpack on the side of it made me doubt his eyes. On the Internet, nicknames such as 'Gwanggyo Skin Man' and 'Heavy Snow Skin Man' were given.

This man turned out to be a physical education teacher at a high school in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province. He left the house to go to work using public transportation, and after seeing the situation, he brought his ski equipment back. In the past, he has been a member of the cross-country national team for about seven years wearing skis and running long distances. I ran for about an hour and a half and arrived at school.

However, there was a last-minute twist. Due to the 40cm heavy snow in the Yongin area, an emergency closure order was issued. The students didn't come to school, but the teachers were working as usual, so it wasn't for nothing. It is said that he used the teacher's car when he went back home.

◇ Lee Ik-seon: On the other hand, in a different sense, there's a story that's been widespread in the Internet community. It's controversial because the bus driver ate cup noodles while driving?

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: A picture was posted on the Internet community. The writer posted a picture of him sitting in the driver's seat of a bus on an overpass in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do, saying that the road was clogged by heavy snow and did not move. There was also a report that they moved 50m while they were eating.

A citizen who saw this filed a complaint with the bus company. After that, the author's explanation came up again. He said that he worked without lunch, but he was angry because he moved 100 meters for an hour, and that he put the parking brake on every time he ate ramen, but he wrote that it's a very sensitive world.

◇ Choi Soo-young: On the other hand, there was also a claim that a so-called 'bomb complaint' should be added to the delayed snow removal work, which became controversial?

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: Yes, someone posted complaints from citizens on the Internet and said, "I understand why civil servants are having such a hard time." According to the contents, there was also an article that said, "The more enthusiastic the residents are, the faster the civil servants become, and if you leave it as annoying, it will return to discomfort." There were claims such as "Government officials move when residents keep filing complaints," and "I don't care if I just wait and see if I'll do it on my own."

Seeing this, critical responses such as "There seem to be many people who think of civil servants as servants" and "How can civil servants prevent natural disasters for the first time in 117 years?"

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

◆ Lee Hyun-woong: Yes, thank you.
