  37. <p>The Corea Image Communication Institute (CICI) is hosting contests to find new ideas and artificial intelligence (AI)-generated images to represent Korea. The &#8220;New Korea — Ideas&#8221; and &#8220;Korea Image Created by AI&#8221; contests are held ahead of the CICI&#8217;s annual Culture Communication Forum (CCF) 2024.The &#8220;New Korea — Ideas&#8221; contest seeks for fresh and globally appealing contents to portray Korea that will capture the world&#8217;s attention in the years to come.Instead of conventional content such as K-pop, K-drama, &#8220;hansik&#8221; (Korean food), &#8220;hanok&#8221; (traditional Korean house) and &#8220;hanbok&#8221; (traditional Korean attire), participants are encouraged to submit ideas from various fields that have potential to make a global impact representing Korea.</p>
  38.  
  39.  
  40.  
  41. <p>For the &#8220;Korea Image Created by AI&#8221; contest, applicants should create and submit images that effectively represent Korea using AI. Images can be themed in various fields, including food, tourism, music and film, without genre restrictions.Both contests are open to Korean and foreign nationals aged 18 and over and should submit their works until June 10. The CICI selection committee will review the works and select one winner for each category — Grand Award, Excellence Award and Incentive Award — based on onsite voting on the day of the CCF on June 24.The winner of the Ideas contest will receive a prize worth 3.5 million won, while the winner of the AI Image contest will receive a prize equivalent to 2.5 million won.For more information, visit the Korea Image <a href="https://edwardsrailcar.com/" title="메이저 ">메이저 </a>Communication Institute website.</p><p>The post <a href="https://vonser.xyz/cicis-contests-to-find-new-ideas-ai-generated-images-to-promote-korea/">CICI’s contests to find new ideas, AI-generated images to promote Korea</a> first appeared on <a href="https://vonser.xyz">vonserxyz</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

  60. <p>What appears to be an ill-assorted match of masculinity and tranquility symbolizes the gasoline version of the BMW X4 luxury coupe SUV.At first glance, the vehicle exudes a masculine image with its impressively huge kidney grille and smoothly swooping roofline. One would expect the vehicle to display supercar-like strong driving performance due to its exterior, but its driving experience was smooth, belying its macho appearance.The BMW X4 has generated a huge sensation, particularly to young Korean drivers who seek to enjoy BMW’s symbolically dynamic driving. The young design identity also captivated their minds, as was shown by its solid sales figures here.</p>

  64. <p>The number of newly registered BMW X4 vehicles last year came in at 5,134, slightly surpassing the X3, another best-selling BMW SUV with a similar body size, according to data from market tracker CarIsYou. The X4 xDrive 20i SUV is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged petrol engine, so it gives a smooth driving impression typical of sedans.This reporter took a chance to test-drive the vehicle for three days. When driving the vehicle between Seoul and Yeongjong Island, almost 50 kilometers west of the capital city, the X4 gave a strong yet tranquil driving feeling. This vehicle was powerful enough for both city and highway driving, but it was far from any other typical BMW vehicles known for their dynamic drive quality.But the seemingly inharmonious combination of its manly exterior and quiet driving experience still looks to be attractive enough for any driver who wants both features, rather than other BMW vehicles focusing mostly on its symbolic dynamic <a href="https://www.slotplayground.com/" title="슬롯게이밍 ">슬롯게이밍 </a>identity.</p><p>The post <a href="https://vonser.xyz/bmw-x4-offers-tranquil-ride-with-masculine-identity/">BMW X4 offers tranquil ride with masculine identity</a> first appeared on <a href="https://vonser.xyz">vonserxyz</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

  83. <p>The country&#8217;s major brokerage firms marked significantly improved performances in the first quarter compared to the same period last year, but reserving provisions for non-performing real estate project financing (PF) will be a key variable affecting their future performance, market observers said.Korea&#8217;s eight major securities firms saw a total net profit of 1.4 trillion won ($1.02 billion) in the first quarter of this year, according to the Financial Supervisory Service&#8217;s electronic disclosure system DART.This represents a 12.7 percent increase compared to the same period last year.The eight securities firms are Mirae Asset Securities, Korea Investment &amp; Securities, NH Investment &amp; Securities, KB Securities, Hana Securities, Shinhan Securities, Kiwoom Securities and Daishin Securities.Korea Investment &amp; Securities recorded a net income of 368.7 billion won, an increase of 40.7 percent from the same period the previous year, achieving the highest quarterly earnings in its history.NH Investment &amp; Securities also experienced substantial growth, with its first-quarter net income rising 22.4 percent to 225.5 billion won, marking its best performance in 11 quarters.Their better-than-expected performance was primarily driven by brokerage services, as the stock market regained momentum after the government announced the Corporate Value-up Program.An increased volume of foreign currency trading also played a part.</p>
  84.  
  85.  
  86.  
  87. <p>Their performances are expected to continue improving, mainly through brokerage and investment banking services.However, as financial authorities have recently intensified efforts to restructure real estate PF, there are warnings that additional reserve provisions may cast a cloud over their future performances.Already, the industry experienced significant losses last year, with PF-related provisions set aside in the fourth quarter ranging from 100 billion won to 700 billion won.Financial authorities currently classify projects into three categories: good, average and at risk of deterioration.They are reportedly considering refining the evaluation criteria to include the current categories and adding a fourth, &#8220;questionable recovery,&#8221; to facilitate smoother restructuring. This could involve changes to loan maturity, business purpose, or sales to third parties, all of which could increase losses at securities firms.Last month, Korea Investors Service estimated that potential losses related to PF risks at 26 securities firms could range between 4.6 and 7.6 trillion won.Financial authorities are set to announce the overall measures early next week.&#8221;Financial authorities intend to implement stricture measures, including refining the viability assessment criteria for PF projects and strengthening the quorum requirements for maturity extensions. These steps aim to encourage the auctioning and restructuring of non-performing projects,&#8221; Park Se-woong, a Samsung Securities researcher, said.&#8221;As a result, there may be a renewed emphasis on the potential <a href="https://www.casinositeking.com/" title="카지노사이트킹 ">카지노사이트킹 </a>incurrence of additional provisions and valuation losses associated with PF exposure,&#8221; Park added.</p><p>The post <a href="https://vonser.xyz/major-brokerages-show-strong-q1-performance-but-real-estate-project-financing-risks-loom/">Major brokerages show strong Q1 performance, but real estate project financing risks loom</a> first appeared on <a href="https://vonser.xyz">vonserxyz</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

  129. <p>A short-term unlimited transit pass specifically targeting inbound tourists will be launched in July, according to the Seoul Metropolitan Government, Sunday. Its price is expected to be fixed at around 20,000 won ($14.57) for a five-day ticket.The city government is gearing up to offer tailored services with the unlimited transit pass, dubbed the Climate Card. It is an all-inclusive monthly transit pass that offers access to all bus routes and subway lines in Seoul, plus the city’s Ttareungyi public bike-sharing service.The initiative involves introducing one-, two-, three-, five- and seven-day ticket options, specifically targeting domestic and foreign tourists visiting Seoul for a short period.</p>
  130.  
  131.  
  132.  
  133. <p>It will enable users to enjoy unlimited access to Seoul&#8217;s subways, buses, and public bicycles at a low price during their short-term visits.Currently, tourists in Seoul rely on rechargeable T-money cards for using public transportation. While there is an option for foreign tourists to use this card for unlimited public transit, the one-day pass costs 15,000 won and is purchasable only in cash.For subways, there is a one-time transportation card available, but it also requires a cash purchase and a deposit refund process after usage, posing an inconvenience to users.The city government unveiled its plan in response to critiques regarding the lack of short-term tickets offering unlimited public transportation, specifically designed for tourists.The initiative, inspired by successful systems in advanced countries, is geared toward enhancing tourists’ convenience, according to the city government. It aims to alleviate transportation-related inconveniences and reduce the burden of public transportation costs, making public transportation more accessible and convenient for <a href="https://www.sportstotozone.com/" title="스포츠토토존 ">스포츠토토존 </a>visitors.</p><p>The post <a href="https://vonser.xyz/short-term-unlimited-transit-pass-for-tourists-to-be-launched-in-july/">Short-term unlimited transit pass for tourists to be launched in July</a> first appeared on <a href="https://vonser.xyz">vonserxyz</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

  152. <p>North Gyeongsang Gov. Lee Cheol-woo met with Chinese Ambassador to Korea Xing Haiming Tuesday to discuss increasing cooperation in culture and tourism.During the meeting at the provincial office in Andong, North Gyeongsang Province, Lee said mutually beneficial economic growth has been seen between Korea and China over the past three decades since the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1992.He emphasized the importance of expanding cooperation beyond economic realms into areas such as culture and tourism.&#8221;Over the past 30 years, Korea and China have grown together economically. Now, it&#8217;s time to explore new avenues of collaboration and create fresh momentum for growth,&#8221; Lee said.</p>
  153.  
  154.  
  155.  
  156. <p>The ambassador echoed these sentiments, noting the two nations&#8217; geographical proximity and the significance of cooperation in addressing shared challenges.&#8221;China has a saying, &#8216;Virtue is not solitary; there must be neighbors.&#8217; This underscores the importance of cooperation between neighboring countries like ours in resolving various issues,&#8221; Xing said.North Gyeongsang Province has established cooperative relationships with six regions in China, including Henan, Hubei and Jilin provinces. Notably, it has been actively engaging in an people-to-people exchange program with Hubei province and operates a trade office in <a href="https://edwardsrailcar.com/" title="메이저 ">메이저 </a>Shanghai.</p><p>The post <a href="https://vonser.xyz/north-gyeongsang-province-china-seek-to-bolster-cultural-tourism-ties/">North Gyeongsang Province, China seek to bolster cultural, tourism ties</a> first appeared on <a href="https://vonser.xyz">vonserxyz</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

  175. <p>TripleS, the largest K-pop girl group with 24 members, dropped a new album, &#8220;Assemble24,&#8221; featuring the lead single &#8220;Girls Never Die,&#8221; Wednesday.This was the first time for all 24 members to perform together since the group debuted as a 10-piece act in 2023.After debuting with the EP &#8220;Assemble,&#8221; the members formed different sub-units, such as EVOLution and Aria, to showcase diverse music styles while unveiling 14 new members in sequence.&#8221;This album heralds a beginning of our new journey as a 24-member group,&#8221; member Chaeyeon said during a press event at YES24 Live Hll in eastern Seoul&#8217;s Gwangjin District, Wednesday.&#8221;All of our colors are displayed in this release,&#8221; she added.</p>

  179. <p>&#8220;Girls Never Die&#8221; is a song showcasing the their determination to stay strong despite hardships. The group&#8217;s fans chose the title track through a vote.&#8221;We also had our own vote, and &#8216;Girls Never Die&#8217; turned out to be our No.1 pick,&#8221; Sohyun explained. &#8220;I think it is a good tune for a multi-member group.&#8221;TripleS is not the only K-pop act with more than 20 members. Boy band NCT from SM Entertainment is composed of 26 members who perform under different sub-units, including NCT127, NCT Dream and NCT Wish.Logistics for tripleS, given its size, include unique challenges.&#8221;To carry all of us, we need five minivans and a bus,&#8221; Yooyeon said.Nakyoung added, &#8220;One of the disadvantages is that we have to go to our hair and makeup shop early. Sometimes, <a href="https://www.slotplayground.com/" title="슬롯놀이터 ">슬롯놀이터 </a>some of us have to leave as early as 1 a.m. to get there.&#8221;</p><p>The post <a href="https://vonser.xyz/triples-returns-as-24-member-group-with-assemble24/">TripleS returns as 24-member group with ‘Assemble24’</a> first appeared on <a href="https://vonser.xyz">vonserxyz</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

  198. <p>A woman who goes by the English name Emma said she recently took her husband to Seongsu-dong in Seoul to have his iris scanned after Worldcoin resumed its service in Korea.&#8221;Worldcoin is not a meaningless coin. It was developed by Open AI CEO Sam Altman. There&#8217;s a high possibility that the coin&#8217;s value will increase in the future. If it happens, you can transfer the coins accumulated in your app to a crypto exchange account and convert them into cash for a tidy profit,&#8221; she said.Since having her irises scan in February, she has monetized 280,000 won ($204.48) from the coin.Including Emma, an increasing number of Koreans are looking to register their irises for Worldcoin to receive free coins.</p>

  202. <p>Under the slogan &#8220;For Every Human,&#8221; Worldcoin uses a device called the Orb to scan people&#8217;s irises as &#8220;proof of personhood.&#8221; After verification, it links the data to its blockchain system and creates a personal ID and digital wallet.In exchange for signing up to the protocol, participants receive 10 Worldcoin tokens in one swoop. Every two weeks, three additional Worldcoin tokens are continuously credited to each individual&#8217;s wallet.Since the start of this month, Worldcoin has resumed its iris registration services for the public in six key locations in Seoul, including COEX in Samseong-dong, Yeoksam-dong, Seongsu-dong, Euljiro, Yongsan and Yeouido.The resumption comes two months after the service was suspended in Korea following allegations of illegal use of personal information.According to one orb operator in Seoul, although their branch accepts reservations for up to 100 people per day, all slots are filled for the foreseeable future on both weekdays and <a href="https://www.casinositeking.com/" title="카지노사이트킹 ">카지노사이트킹 </a>weekends.</p><p>The post <a href="https://vonser.xyz/iris-scanning-resumes-in-korea-for-sam-altmans-worldcoin-amid-controversy/">Iris scanning resumes in Korea for Sam Altman’s Worldcoin amid controversy</a> first appeared on <a href="https://vonser.xyz">vonserxyz</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

  221. <p>Krafton, Devsisters, and other Korean game companies are exploring new business opportunities in India as they increasingly view the South Asian country as the next frontier, according to the companies and industry officials, Thursday.They expect India to surpass China as the world&#8217;s largest game market, due to growing competitiveness in game development, evolving user preferences, and licensing challenges in the Chinese market.In this regard, the Indian game market, while still growing, is viewed as an opportunity for Korean companies specializing in mobile games. Indian gamers primarily prefer mobile gaming over console or PC games, making it a promising market for Korean game developers.&#8221;Korean companies are striving to expand their presence in the Indian market, where the number of gamers is increasing, unlike the already competitive Chinese market,&#8221; an official in the domestic game industry said on condition of anonymity. &#8220;The expansion of the mobile game market seems to be due to the increase in income levels in India, expanded internet access and higher smartphone penetration rates.&#8221;</p>
  222.  
  223.  
  224.  
  225. <p>According to a report by market researcher Niko Partners released last year, the number of gamers in India was expected to reach 444 million by 2023, with forecasts predicting that figure to increase to 641.2 million by 2027.Among the game companies, Krafton is already enjoying significant popularity in the Indian market with a mobile survival shooting game.Krafton launched BATTLEGROUNDS MOBILE INDIA (BGMI) in July 2021, and the game surpassed 100 million users within just over a year of its release. In almost three years, the number of users playing the game has reached 180 million.Thanks to the game&#8217;s popularity, Krafton achieved sales of 665.9 billion won ($487 million) in the first quarter, setting a record for the three-month period.Bae Dong-keun, chief financial officer of Krafton, told investors during an earnings conference call, Wednesday, that the company is “focusing on offering stable BGMI service as well as various game publishing and investments in the game sector in India.”&#8221;This year, we aim to publish six new games in India, and we already launched two games, including Bullet Echo India, which was released in April,&#8221; the CFO <a href="https://www.casinosite.zone/" title="카지노사이트 ">카지노사이트 </a>added.</p><p>The post <a href="https://vonser.xyz/india-emerges-as-new-land-of-opportunity-for-korean-game-companies/">India emerges as new land of opportunity for Korean game companies</a> first appeared on <a href="https://vonser.xyz">vonserxyz</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

When she visits his office as a client, he takes the chance to make frequent secret visits to her home until one time when he finds her dead inside. He realizes he must uncover the true culprit to exonerate himself.Byun noted this film sets itself apart from other thriller genre works as it also has a light-hearted sense throughout.“The film is both easygoing and also brings laughter. It’s a heavy topic but has a light sense to it, which makes it different from other thrillers,” he said.This film is the directorial debut for newcomer Kim Se-hwi, who took part in co-scripting the 2016 war action film “Operation <a href="https://www.sportstotozone.com/" title="스포츠토토존 ">스포츠토토존 </a>Chromite.”</p><p>The post <a href="https://vonser.xyz/why-following-is-thriller-with-twist-of-humor/">Why ‘Following’ is thriller with twist of humor</a> first appeared on <a href="https://vonser.xyz">vonserxyz</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>
