written by 20814 Park Chae-Rim Japanese export regulations have been going on for more than a year. So far, the situation is ironic. It is larger than the one affected by the regulation. The Korean industry is said to have minimized the damage by responding quickly.  On July 4 th last year, Japan's Ministry of Economy and Industry strengthened its review of exports of three critical materials for semiconductors and displays. In August, Korea was excluded from the whitelist list. The Korean domestic industry was put on alert. In addition to the three materials, there were still many areas that relied heavily on Japan. However, the government, businesses and research institutes have found a solution. So far, they are conducting business without much damage.  Although there are still many cases of using Japanese products, Japanese companies are trying to reach out first as South Korean customers account for a large portion of their sales. On the contrary, Japanese companies are suffe

On August 14th, the number of newly confirmed cases was 103 people, with 85 people infected in the country and 18 foreigners.  There are growing concerns that a group of people could spread COVID-19 due to the simultaneous outbreak of definitive diagnoses in various places. These places include churches, large shopping districts and schools. The government has decided to take strong quarantine measures following the upper social distancing protocols.  Prime Minister Jung Sye-kyun responded to this situation by raising social distancing regulations if the situation worsened.  The past four days saw the number of confirmed cases in the metropolitan area alone exceeding 150 people, and 83% got infected while being in the country. Vulnerable facilities, such as small churches and sanatoriums, had a mass infection. There were confirmed cases in markets, schools and fast-food restaurants close

I also feel cheerful when I watch a movie after the exams.  It was only two days ago. After only two days, the happiness I felt was almost gone. I wondered where the joy came from. As a result, some sources of happiness can be found in two main categories.  The first category is when we are with our friends. I think friends are the most significant factor that allows us to survive in our exhausting school life. I think many people will get immense happiness when they are with their friends.  Second, it is when you do some activities that you like. Wouldn’t everyone be happy if they do activities that they like? Someone can be satisfied when they watch Netflix. Some feel joy when they eat delicious food. Others feel it when they travel. Content could be achieved when someone watches a video of a favorite celebri

No, It’s Creative. written by 10526 Joo Minseo Procrastination is the dragging and delaying of work. If we ask, “What are you doing now?”  to people who don’t work, don’t study, or do other things.  They say, “I’m procrastinating.”  It means they’re putting off doing what they have to do.  Companies with a large number of employees who postpone what they have to do are less productive. Many business management books emphasize the importance of finishing a given task at a set time, such as the title Inventing the Enemy Proclamation of Working Life and Procrastinated Employee Management Act .  But the latest business trends are starting to see the meaning of procrastination. Is it only bad to delay the work without finishing it quickly?  People who finish their work in a hurry feel calm inside.

Daily necessities and grocery sales increased. Food sales went up 92.5% as demand for online shopping rose. The sales of living and furniture jumped 44.5%. Online market sales surged.  On the other hand, sales of large mart or supermarket fell 10.6% since people were scared of being infected. In particular, the clothing sales fell 46.5%. This downfall was due to people not buying as much as in the past because people stayed home. Most people did not want to buy anything unnecessary. General merchandise sales were hit hard. Their sales fell by 41.5%. This decrease was because people did not have the extra money to splurge since they worked fewer hours or were laid off. Department stores suffered from their sales declining to 21.4%. Their total sal
