@10wontips The urban myth/conspiracy theory I’ve heard is that government officials feared being tracked by spouses. But that doesn’t pass muster because don’t all government officials use Samsung phones?

Korean #iPhone users angry, accusing #Apple of disabling Find My network in Korea purely as corporate choice, with no actual legal reasons to do so. Tourists often shocked to find it's 100% functionless here. insight.co.kr/news/474614 #애플 #아이폰 #나의찾기 #애플코리아 #AppleKorea

@koryodynasty The thorough report is appreciated. One thing in particular caught my eye: "...paying sellers 1-2 months after receiving consumer payments." Isn't that the very definition of a Ponzi scheme?

5/ TMON and WeMakePrice, subsidiaries of Singapore-based Qoo10, operate by paying sellers 1-2 months after receiving consumer payments. This model relies on constant growth to cover previous losses, ultimately hitting its limit in recent weeks.

1/ South Korea faces a potential e-commerce crisis as online shopping platforms TMON and WeMakePrice fail to pay sellers and process customer refunds, raising fears of an e-commerce bubble burst in the rapidly growing sector. chosun.com/english/indust…

@themarkrussell Yongsan I-Park?

There are more convenience stores in Korea (55,000) than McDonald’s restaurants in the world (42,000). cnn.com/travel/south-k…

A project with which I was involved and that I'm glad to have seen come to fruition.

@vincenzolandino And, IIRC, the car caught fire in the pits after the race.

🇪🇸 Spanish GP, 2012 Pastor Maldonado would claim his only Pole Position en route to becoming the first Venezuelan to win an F1 Grand Prix. It is still Williams Racing's last win in F1 to date.

@themarkrussell And the growth in that sector is equally impressive. In 2016, Korea had “only” 33,500 convenience stores.

@10wontips As is Dua Lipa…

For a very different demographic, Olivia Rodrigo is also coming globalinterpark.com/en/product/240…

@koreanforeigner Sparks? Isn’t that fire already raging?

@10wontips Proud to say that was the work of a close personal friend!

Nice work here by Korea Times headline writers: "Adult festival finds no happy ending in Korea" koreatimes.co.kr/www/nation/202…

Korea's third-generation highspeed train, the KTX-Cheongryong (청룡) is said to have a top speed of 320 kph (199 mph) and to carry 35% more passengers, but boy-oh-boy, it's a long way away from pretty. In fact, it borders on fugly.

@YonhapNews Interestingly, Choi’s trophy lacks even a single word in Korean.
