There was a festive atmosphere over the Korean capital yesterday, as President Park Geun-hye's inauguration ceremony was held against a background of hope for the nation’s future.
[Pkg]
The inauguration ceremony opened with loud cheers. Led by Soprano Jo Su-mi and Baritone Choi Hyun-soo, 70-thousand guests sang Korea's national anthem in unison. Park Geun-hye took her oath of office.
[Soundbite] Park Geun-hye (President): “I do solemnly swear that I’ll faithfully execute the Office of the President of the Republic of Korea.”
President Park inspected the honor guards of the Army, Navy and Air Force as well as the military band. She showed that she was the new commander in chief of Korea by responding to the military’s salute. The sound of a 21-gun salute rang in Yeouido, celebrating the inauguration of the nation's first-ever female president. The inauguration ceremony reached its climax while the show "Arirang Fantasy" was staged in celebration. President Park courteously saw off former President Lee Myung-bak. She waved to the people attending the ceremony on a stage in front of the National Assembly. During the president's march, the guests applauded and wished for the success of the new government.
2. First Day on the Job
[Anchor Lead]
Park got right to work after the party ended, and had her hands full on her first day as president.
[Pkg]
At midnight, the bell rang 33 times to mark the beginning of the new president's tenure. At daybreak, it's time for the nation's new president to leave her home, a place where she has lived for 23 years. The citizens presented her with a pair of Jindo dogs, the same breed that she used to have in her house.
[Soundbite] Park Geun-hye (President): “I’ll always remember you and will do my best to be a good president.”
To express her gratitude, Park left behind a tree as a symbol of hope. The first leg of the president's official schedule was a visit to the National Cemetery. She was escorted by 35 veterans and members of bereaved families instead of government officials. When paying homage to those who gave their lives for their home country, Park renewed her determination to usher in an era of hope. After the inauguration events, the president headed to Cheong Wa Dae. She said she was very moved to be back at the presidential office.
[Soundbite] “I'm very touched meeting with Hyoja-dong residents again for the first time in 30 years.”
The president arrived at the main hall of Cheong Wa Dae at 1:30 p.m. The staff gave her a warm welcome. Park headed straight to her office, where she signed an electronic bill to nominate Chung Hong-won as prime minister and began her official duties.
3. Deadlock Delay
[Anchor Lead]
The new administration has been launched but the ruling and opposition parties have yet to agree on the government reorganization bill. It looks like Park will have to work with the cabinet members selected by her predecessor for the time being.
[Pkg]
No progress is being made in talks for government reorganization. The ruling and opposition parties continued negotiating under-the-table but could not reach an agreement. The ruling Saenuri Party says it has given way as much as possible and insisted that duties regarding local cable and internet TV must be handed over to the Ministry of Future, Creation and Science. Meanwhile, the main opposition Democratic United Party maintains its stance that the job must remain in the hands of the Korea Communications Commission. The Saenuri Party added pressure stating that the opposition party was interfering with the new government's launch.
[Soundbite] Rep. Lee Han-gu (Floor Leader, Saenuri Party): “The opposition Party is making the people uneasy by dragging down the new government.”
The Democratic United Party fired back saying the ruling party was not accepting any of the opposition party's views.
[Soundbite] Rep. Park Ki-choon (Floor Leader, DUP): “We believe it can be processed immediately at the main session if they accept our views.”
The bill for government reorganization was not settled by the deadlines that both parties promised twice to keep and today's main session did not show much progress as well. Personnel hearings cannot be scheduled for the heads of the two new ministries unless the bill is passed. For the moment, the new president will have to work with ministers of the former administration.
4. A Frozen Country
[Anchor Lead]
Observers say that ordinary people in North Korea are probably struggling to survive this winter because of a deep freeze over the country that has stretched far out into the Yellow Sea for two months now.
[Pkg]
North Korea has been taking a hard-line stance following its third nuclear test. But its people can barely make ends meet. Satellite photos taken by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration show that unlike South Korea, most of the North Korean territory is covered in snow.
[Soundbite] Lee Myeong-hui (Korea Center for Atmospheric Environment Research): “Over the past two months temperatures fell to minus 17-20 degrees Celsius three or four times so the weather has been cold.”
The sea off of North Korea is still frozen as far as 40 kilometers from the shore. According to the satellite images, the Yellow Sea, which still looked blue in early December, began to freeze around Christmas last year and has remain frozen over ever since. The frozen area is now twice as large as in previous years. An analysis of the past 17 years shows that it's the first time that the sea has remained frozen for so long.
[Soundbite] Jeong Yong-seung (Korea Center for Atmospheric Environment Research): “About 10-20 km of the outer port usually gets frozen, but this year it's larger, exceeding 30-40 km.”
The situation is probably especially difficult around the site of Nampo Port, which is at the estuary of the Daedong River. This site accounts for 30 percent of North Korea's maritime trade. Experts say that fish farms and the offshore fishing sector in the area must have been hit hard by the icy weather.
[Soundbite] Prof. Im Eul-chul (Kyungnam University): “Fishermen were probably hit hard as well as the business sectors that earn foreign currency. Transportation and logistics in the Yellow Sea will also have been hit.”
Experts say the Yellow Sea off of North Korea will likely remain frozen until early March.
5. Bullying Reports
[Anchor Lead]
The Ministry of Education and some regional education offices are at odds over whether to include school bullies’ histories of violence in their report cards.
[Pkg]
A high school in Gyeonggi Province is preparing to accept new students. With the start of a new semester, teachers are busy dealing with administrative affairs, such as writing student reports. The atmosphere of the school is somewhat unusual, since it’s under police investigation for rejecting the Education Ministry's order to write the records of school bullies in their school reports. Nine high schools in Gyeonggi Province are being investigated for disobeying the ministry. The ministry ordered schools to write bullying records in student reports and keep them for five years. But four education offices, including those in Gyeonggi Province and North Jeolla Province, refused, stating that it violates the human rights of students. On February 22, the Gyeonggi Provincial Education Office suggested a compromise for having records of bullying in subsidiary documents. But the bone of contention remains, as the education office opposes using the documents as references for entering college or getting jobs. The differing guidelines of the Education Ministry and education offices have become a source of confusion at schools, although most schools finished writing their evaluations. The four education offices say that they will continue to not record the problematic behavior of bullies in their school reports until the Education Ministry accepts the recommendation of the National Human Rights Commission and presents a new compromise. Schools will, for now, have to bear the confusion.
6. On Thin Ice
[Anchor Lead]
Ice fishing can end in tragedy these days, as frozen lakes begin to thaw.
[Pkg]
The lake looks as though it is completely frozen over. The ice is so thick that it is strong enough to hold the weight of five men at the edge of the lake. But cracks are found near the center of the lake. The thickness of the ice from the edge and center were compared. The ice from the shore is 10 centimeters thick while the one from the middle of the lake is six centimeters thick. On Sunday, three people broke through the ice and into the lake while ice-fishing here. Two of them drowned and died.
[Soundbite] Kim Won-cheon (Cheonan Seobuk Fire Station): “A woman was holding onto an ice box, looking up at the sky. A man beside her had hypothermia.”
If one falls through a crack at a frozen lake, one should try not to panick. Instead, one should support one’s body by stretching one’s arms out and grab a hold of the ice, which is then when one can signal for help. Once out of the water and back on the ice, one should never stand straight up due to the body’s concentrated weight on the fragile surface. Instead, one should roll away from the ice hole to disperse one’s body weight to prevent another chance of falling into the water again.
7. Winter Para Games
[Anchor Lead]
The Korean National Winter Para Games have begun in Gangwon Province. We take you there now.
[Pkg]
At the raise of a flag, the athletes take off skating with all their might. They fall, but gather their strength and get back on their feet.
[Soundbite] Park Hui-seong (Visually Impaired Athlete): “It's fun competing and I can definitely withstand the pain.”
Sledding athletes fight for the ball. They skillfully avoid their opponents and play passionately.
[Soundbite] Kim Min-seok (Spectator): “I often watch hockey games. Even though this is a people with disabilities, it's still dynamic and fun.”
Cross-country skiing requires more physical strength this year because the distance is now twice as long as in previous games. The Biathlon, which is the official event of the Paralympics, was featured as an exhibition game for the Korean National Winter Para Games this year. Competition in the wheelchair curling and several other events is expected to be particularly fierce this year because the athletes will receive points that could earn them a chance to represent Korea in international competitions. The Korean National Winter Para Games, which mark their 10th year, will run through February 28.
8. Eco Recovery
[Anchor Lead]
Nanji Island was used as a landfill until the early 1990s. It was turned into a park 10 years ago and is being reborn as an ecological repository in downtown Seoul. The number of animals and plants has more than doubled in the park, and even some endangered species have been spotted.
[Pkg]
World Cup Park in Seoul appeals to people who look for a good place to take a stroll and get some fresh air. Various birds, including swallows, built nests in the woods. Swallows are the harbingers of spring.
[Soundbite] “There are many kinds of birds in the woods over there. I don't know their names. I’ve never seen them before.”
A total of 970 species of animals and plants have been found in the park. The number of natural creatures living in the park has more than doubled over the past ten years since the region turned into an ecological park. Twenty kinds of new plants were found, and 100 kinds of foreign plants took root here. A frog indigenous to Korea has also made the wetland in the park its home. Seventeen species of reptiles and amphibians live here. This park is also home to ten of the nation’s natural monuments and eleven endangered animals.
[Soundbite] Kim Jong-chan (Seoul Metropolitan Government): “All gas and polluted water from the landfill were sent to a processing facility. Animals, plants and people can live here without any problems.”
From 1978 to 1993, this area was used as a landfill, but over the past ten years, it has become a valuable ecological site that both man and the wild can use as a place of refuge.
9. Going Alone
[Anchor Lead]
Traditionally in Korea, people prefer doing things in groups, and many Koreans would be reticent to go out on their own. But statistics show that nearly 24 percent of Korean households now consist of single people, and that’s bringing about a cultural sea change. The shift isn’t lost on business people, who are doing their utmost to target people who like to spend time alone.
[Pkg]
People crowd in to this noraebang, or karaoke singing room. But this place is a bit different. It's for people who want to be alone when they’re singing.
[Soundbite] “Frankly, I have to consider my friends when I go to a noraebang with them. If I choose a sad song, they wouldn’t like it. But here, I can sing whatever song I want. It’s good to hear my voice because I can monitor it by wearing headphones. So this is a good place to practice signing.”
The single-person noraebang is cheap and offers free beverages.
[Soundbite] Gang Beom-mo (Owner, Single-Person Noraebang): “Many of the customers are students, since it’s winter break. Many office workers come in the evening. Elderly people in their 60s and 70s are also frequent customers.”
At this place, all the special treatment is directed at one single customer at a time. This beauty salon offers personalized service for every one of its visitors. You reserve in advance and get the place all to yourself.
[Soundbite] “You need to make a reservation. I don’t have to wait and worry about other people. I also feel like I’m getting my own personal stylist, like a celebrity. It feels special.”
Everything is customized to each client here.
[Soundbite] Kim Gyeong-sin (Owner, Single-Person Beauty Salon): “This is a beauty salon that serves one customer at a time. There is only one seat. I can’t serve more than one customer at a time.”
Being the only customer allows people to relax and really enjoy their hair salon experience.
[Soundbite] “I can pay more attention to each customer. Most importantly, I decided to open a single-person hair salon so they can have good memories and I can get closer to them.”
This client says she’s always happy with her visits here.
[Soundbite] “I’m always satisfied with the hairdos I got here. It is a one-on-one system. He listens to me carefully and tries give me the hairstyle I want.”
In Korea, eating alone at a restaurant is often viewed as a strange thing to do. But that’s changing, and the number of restaurants devoted specifically to people who want to dine solo is on the rise.
[Soundbite] “I worry about other people when I eat out alone.”
There’s still a stigma against eating out alone, so these single-person restaurants let you avoid any awkward glances from other diners.
[Soundbite] “This is really good. There are partitions between the tables. I can eat alone silently. It’s great when I’m busy.”
This restaurant serves a daily average of 100 customers. You don’t even have to deal with a server here. You put in your order at a machine. The only thing left to do is to find your little corner and enjoy your meal in peace.
[Soundbite] “I often have to eat alone before school. There are few good places to eat alone. So I often go for hamburgers. I once had a meal here before. It was really great. Most of all, the foods this restaurant serves tastes good.”
These days, more and more people are getting away from the group in Korea and striking off on their own.

[Soundbite] Rep. Lee Han-gu (Floor Leader, Saenuri Party): “The opposition Party is making the people uneasy by dragging down the new government.”
The Democratic United Party fired back saying the ruling party was not accepting any of the opposition party's views.
[Soundbite] Rep. Park Ki-choon (Floor Leader, DUP): “We believe it can be processed immediately at the main session if they accept our views.”
The bill for government reorganization was not settled by the deadlines that both parties promised twice to keep and today's main session did not show much progress as well. Personnel hearings cannot be scheduled for the heads of the two new ministries unless the bill is passed. For the moment, the new president will have to work with ministers of the former administration.
4. A Frozen Country
[Anchor Lead]
Observers say that ordinary people in North Korea are probably struggling to survive this winter because of a deep freeze over the country that has stretched far out into the Yellow Sea for two months now.
[Pkg]
North Korea has been taking a hard-line stance following its third nuclear test. But its people can barely make ends meet. Satellite photos taken by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration show that unlike South Korea, most of the North Korean territory is covered in snow.
[Soundbite] Lee Myeong-hui (Korea Center for Atmospheric Environment Research): “Over the past two months temperatures fell to minus 17-20 degrees Celsius three or four times so the weather has been cold.”
The sea off of North Korea is still frozen as far as 40 kilometers from the shore. According to the satellite images, the Yellow Sea, which still looked blue in early December, began to freeze around Christmas last year and has remain frozen over ever since. The frozen area is now twice as large as in previous years. An analysis of the past 17 years shows that it's the first time that the sea has remained frozen for so long.
[Soundbite] Jeong Yong-seung (Korea Center for Atmospheric Environment Research): “About 10-20 km of the outer port usually gets frozen, but this year it's larger, exceeding 30-40 km.”
The situation is probably especially difficult around the site of Nampo Port, which is at the estuary of the Daedong River. This site accounts for 30 percent of North Korea's maritime trade. Experts say that fish farms and the offshore fishing sector in the area must have been hit hard by the icy weather.
[Soundbite] Prof. Im Eul-chul (Kyungnam University): “Fishermen were probably hit hard as well as the business sectors that earn foreign currency. Transportation and logistics in the Yellow Sea will also have been hit.”
Experts say the Yellow Sea off of North Korea will likely remain frozen until early March.
5. Bullying Reports
[Anchor Lead]
The Ministry of Education and some regional education offices are at odds over whether to include school bullies’ histories of violence in their report cards.
[Pkg]
A high school in Gyeonggi Province is preparing to accept new students. With the start of a new semester, teachers are busy dealing with administrative affairs, such as writing student reports. The atmosphere of the school is somewhat unusual, since it’s under police investigation for rejecting the Education Ministry's order to write the records of school bullies in their school reports. Nine high schools in Gyeonggi Province are being investigated for disobeying the ministry. The ministry ordered schools to write bullying records in student reports and keep them for five years. But four education offices, including those in Gyeonggi Province and North Jeolla Province, refused, stating that it violates the human rights of students. On February 22, the Gyeonggi Provincial Education Office suggested a compromise for having records of bullying in subsidiary documents. But the bone of contention remains, as the education office opposes using the documents as references for entering college or getting jobs. The differing guidelines of the Education Ministry and education offices have become a source of confusion at schools, although most schools finished writing their evaluations. The four education offices say that they will continue to not record the problematic behavior of bullies in their school reports until the Education Ministry accepts the recommendation of the National Human Rights Commission and presents a new compromise. Schools will, for now, have to bear the confusion.
6. On Thin Ice
[Anchor Lead]
Ice fishing can end in tragedy these days, as frozen lakes begin to thaw.
[Pkg]
The lake looks as though it is completely frozen over. The ice is so thick that it is strong enough to hold the weight of five men at the edge of the lake. But cracks are found near the center of the lake. The thickness of the ice from the edge and center were compared. The ice from the shore is 10 centimeters thick while the one from the middle of the lake is six centimeters thick. On Sunday, three people broke through the ice and into the lake while ice-fishing here. Two of them drowned and died.
[Soundbite] Kim Won-cheon (Cheonan Seobuk Fire Station): “A woman was holding onto an ice box, looking up at the sky. A man beside her had hypothermia.”
If one falls through a crack at a frozen lake, one should try not to panick. Instead, one should support one’s body by stretching one’s arms out and grab a hold of the ice, which is then when one can signal for help. Once out of the water and back on the ice, one should never stand straight up due to the body’s concentrated weight on the fragile surface. Instead, one should roll away from the ice hole to disperse one’s body weight to prevent another chance of falling into the water again.
7. Winter Para Games
[Anchor Lead]
The Korean National Winter Para Games have begun in Gangwon Province. We take you there now.
[Pkg]
At the raise of a flag, the athletes take off skating with all their might. They fall, but gather their strength and get back on their feet.
[Soundbite] Park Hui-seong (Visually Impaired Athlete): “It's fun competing and I can definitely withstand the pain.”
Sledding athletes fight for the ball. They skillfully avoid their opponents and play passionately.
[Soundbite] Kim Min-seok (Spectator): “I often watch hockey games. Even though this is a people with disabilities, it's still dynamic and fun.”
Cross-country skiing requires more physical strength this year because the distance is now twice as long as in previous games. The Biathlon, which is the official event of the Paralympics, was featured as an exhibition game for the Korean National Winter Para Games this year. Competition in the wheelchair curling and several other events is expected to be particularly fierce this year because the athletes will receive points that could earn them a chance to represent Korea in international competitions. The Korean National Winter Para Games, which mark their 10th year, will run through February 28.
8. Eco Recovery
[Anchor Lead]
Nanji Island was used as a landfill until the early 1990s. It was turned into a park 10 years ago and is being reborn as an ecological repository in downtown Seoul. The number of animals and plants has more than doubled in the park, and even some endangered species have been spotted.
[Pkg]
World Cup Park in Seoul appeals to people who look for a good place to take a stroll and get some fresh air. Various birds, including swallows, built nests in the woods. Swallows are the harbingers of spring.
[Soundbite] “There are many kinds of birds in the woods over there. I don't know their names. I’ve never seen them before.”
A total of 970 species of animals and plants have been found in the park. The number of natural creatures living in the park has more than doubled over the past ten years since the region turned into an ecological park. Twenty kinds of new plants were found, and 100 kinds of foreign plants took root here. A frog indigenous to Korea has also made the wetland in the park its home. Seventeen species of reptiles and amphibians live here. This park is also home to ten of the nation’s natural monuments and eleven endangered animals.
[Soundbite] Kim Jong-chan (Seoul Metropolitan Government): “All gas and polluted water from the landfill were sent to a processing facility. Animals, plants and people can live here without any problems.”
From 1978 to 1993, this area was used as a landfill, but over the past ten years, it has become a valuable ecological site that both man and the wild can use as a place of refuge.
9. Going Alone
[Anchor Lead]
Traditionally in Korea, people prefer doing things in groups, and many Koreans would be reticent to go out on their own. But statistics show that nearly 24 percent of Korean households now consist of single people, and that’s bringing about a cultural sea change. The shift isn’t lost on business people, who are doing their utmost to target people who like to spend time alone.
[Pkg]
People crowd in to this noraebang, or karaoke singing room. But this place is a bit different. It's for people who want to be alone when they’re singing.
[Soundbite] “Frankly, I have to consider my friends when I go to a noraebang with them. If I choose a sad song, they wouldn’t like it. But here, I can sing whatever song I want. It’s good to hear my voice because I can monitor it by wearing headphones. So this is a good place to practice signing.”
The single-person noraebang is cheap and offers free beverages.
[Soundbite] Gang Beom-mo (Owner, Single-Person Noraebang): “Many of the customers are students, since it’s winter break. Many office workers come in the evening. Elderly people in their 60s and 70s are also frequent customers.”
At this place, all the special treatment is directed at one single customer at a time. This beauty salon offers personalized service for every one of its visitors. You reserve in advance and get the place all to yourself.
[Soundbite] “You need to make a reservation. I don’t have to wait and worry about other people. I also feel like I’m getting my own personal stylist, like a celebrity. It feels special.”
Everything is customized to each client here.
[Soundbite] Kim Gyeong-sin (Owner, Single-Person Beauty Salon): “This is a beauty salon that serves one customer at a time. There is only one seat. I can’t serve more than one customer at a time.”
Being the only customer allows people to relax and really enjoy their hair salon experience.
[Soundbite] “I can pay more attention to each customer. Most importantly, I decided to open a single-person hair salon so they can have good memories and I can get closer to them.”
This client says she’s always happy with her visits here.
[Soundbite] “I’m always satisfied with the hairdos I got here. It is a one-on-one system. He listens to me carefully and tries give me the hairstyle I want.”
In Korea, eating alone at a restaurant is often viewed as a strange thing to do. But that’s changing, and the number of restaurants devoted specifically to people who want to dine solo is on the rise.
[Soundbite] “I worry about other people when I eat out alone.”
There’s still a stigma against eating out alone, so these single-person restaurants let you avoid any awkward glances from other diners.
[Soundbite] “This is really good. There are partitions between the tables. I can eat alone silently. It’s great when I’m busy.”
This restaurant serves a daily average of 100 customers. You don’t even have to deal with a server here. You put in your order at a machine. The only thing left to do is to find your little corner and enjoy your meal in peace.
[Soundbite] “I often have to eat alone before school. There are few good places to eat alone. So I often go for hamburgers. I once had a meal here before. It was really great. Most of all, the foods this restaurant serves tastes good.”
These days, more and more people are getting away from the group in Korea and striking off on their own.
1. Inauguration Party
[Anchor Lead]
There was a festive atmosphere over the Korean capital yesterday, as President Park Geun-hye's inauguration ceremony was held against a background of hope for the nation’s future.
[Pkg]
The inauguration ceremony opened with loud cheers. Led by Soprano Jo Su-mi and Baritone Choi Hyun-soo, 70-thousand guests sang Korea's national anthem in unison. Park Geun-hye took her oath of office.
[Soundbite] Park Geun-hye (President): “I do solemnly swear that I’ll faithfully execute the Office of the President of the Republic of Korea.”
President Park inspected the honor guards of the Army, Navy and Air Force as well as the military band. She showed that she was the new commander in chief of Korea by responding to the military’s salute. The sound of a 21-gun salute rang in Yeouido, celebrating the inauguration of the nation's first-ever female president. The inauguration ceremony reached its climax while the show "Arirang Fantasy" was staged in celebration. President Park courteously saw off former President Lee Myung-bak. She waved to the people attending the ceremony on a stage in front of the National Assembly. During the president's march, the guests applauded and wished for the success of the new government.
2. First Day on the Job
[Anchor Lead]
Park got right to work after the party ended, and had her hands full on her first day as president.
[Pkg]
At midnight, the bell rang 33 times to mark the beginning of the new president's tenure. At daybreak, it's time for the nation's new president to leave her home, a place where she has lived for 23 years. The citizens presented her with a pair of Jindo dogs, the same breed that she used to have in her house.
[Soundbite] Park Geun-hye (President): “I’ll always remember you and will do my best to be a good president.”
To express her gratitude, Park left behind a tree as a symbol of hope. The first leg of the president's official schedule was a visit to the National Cemetery. She was escorted by 35 veterans and members of bereaved families instead of government officials. When paying homage to those who gave their lives for their home country, Park renewed her determination to usher in an era of hope. After the inauguration events, the president headed to Cheong Wa Dae. She said she was very moved to be back at the presidential office.
[Soundbite] “I'm very touched meeting with Hyoja-dong residents again for the first time in 30 years.”
The president arrived at the main hall of Cheong Wa Dae at 1:30 p.m. The staff gave her a warm welcome. Park headed straight to her office, where she signed an electronic bill to nominate Chung Hong-won as prime minister and began her official duties.
3. Deadlock Delay

The new administration has been launched but the ruling and opposition parties have yet to agree on the government reorganization bill. It looks like Park will have to work with the cabinet members selected by her predecessor for the time being.

No progress is being made in talks for government reorganization. The ruling and opposition parties continued negotiating under-the-table but could not reach an agreement. The ruling Saenuri Party says it has given way as much as possible and insisted that duties regarding local cable and internet TV must be handed over to the Ministry of Future, Creation and Science. Meanwhile, the main opposition Democratic United Party maintains its stance that the job must remain in the hands of the Korea Communications Commission.

Observers say that ordinary people in North Korea are probably struggling to survive this winter because of a deep freeze over the country that has stretched far out into the Yellow Sea for two months now.
[Pkg]
North Korea has been taking a hard-line stance following its third nuclear test. But its people can barely make ends meet. Satellite photos taken by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration show that unlike South Korea, most of the North Korean territory is covered in snow.
[Soundbite] Lee Myeong-hui (Korea Center for Atmospheric Environment Research): “Over the past two months temperatures fell to minus 17-20 degrees Celsius three or four times so the weather has been cold.”
The sea off of North Korea is still frozen as far as 40 kilometers from the shore. According to the satellite images, the Yellow Sea, which still looked blue in early December, began to freeze around Christmas last year and has remain frozen over ever since. The frozen area is now twice as large as in previous years. An analysis of the past 17 years shows that it's the first time that the sea has remained frozen for so long.
[Soundbite] Jeong Yong-seung (Korea Center for Atmospheric Environment Research): “About 10-20 km of the outer port usually gets frozen, but this year it's larger, exceeding 30-40 km.”
The situation is probably especially difficult around the site of Nampo Port, which is at the estuary of the Daedong River. This site accounts for 30 percent of North Korea's maritime trade. Experts say that fish farms and the offshore fishing sector in the area must have been hit hard by the icy weather.
[Soundbite] Prof. Im Eul-chul (Kyungnam University): “Fishermen were probably hit hard as well as the business sectors that earn foreign currency. Transportation and logistics in the Yellow Sea will also have been hit.”
Experts say the Yellow Sea off of North Korea will likely remain frozen until early March.

The atmosphere of the school is somewhat unusual, since it’s under police investigation for rejecting the Education Ministry's order to write the records of school bullies in their school reports. Nine high schools in Gyeonggi Province are being investigated for disobeying the ministry. The ministry ordered schools to write bullying records in student reports and keep them for five years. But four education offices, including those in Gyeonggi Province and North Jeolla Province, refused, stating that it violates the human rights of students. On February 22, the Gyeonggi Provincial Education Office suggested a compromise for having records of bullying in subsidiary documents. But the bone of contention remains, as the education office opposes using the documents as references for entering college or getting jobs. The differing guidelines of the Education Ministry and education offices have become a source of confusion at schools, although most schools finished writing their evaluations. The four education offices say that they will continue to not record the problematic behavior of bullies in their school reports until the Education Ministry accepts the recommendation of the National Human Rights Commission and presents a new compromise. Schools will, for now, have to bear the confusion.
6. On Thin Ice
[Anchor Lead]
Ice fishing can end in tragedy these days, as frozen lakes begin to thaw.
[Pkg]
The lake looks as though it is completely frozen over. The ice is so thick that it is strong enough to hold the weight of five men at the edge of the lake. But cracks are found near the center of the lake. The thickness of the ice from the edge and center were compared. The ice from the shore is 10 centimeters thick while the one from the middle of the lake is six centimeters thick. On Sunday, three people broke through the ice and into the lake while ice-fishing here. Two of them drowned and died.
[Soundbite] Kim Won-cheon (Cheonan Seobuk Fire Station): “A woman was holding onto an ice box, looking up at the sky. A man beside her had hypothermia.”
If one falls through a crack at a frozen lake, one should try not to panick. Instead, one should support one’s body by stretching one’s arms out and grab a hold of the ice, which is then when one can signal for help. Once out of the water and back on the ice, one should never stand straight up due to the body’s concentrated weight on the fragile surface. Instead, one should roll away from the ice hole to disperse one’s body weight to prevent another chance of falling into the water again.
7. Winter Para Games
[Anchor Lead]
The Korean National Winter Para Games have begun in Gangwon Province. We take you there now.
[Pkg]
At the raise of a flag, the athletes take off skating with all their might. They fall, but gather their strength and get back on their feet.
[Soundbite] Park Hui-seong (Visually Impaired Athlete): “It's fun competing and I can definitely withstand the pain.”
Sledding athletes fight for the ball. They skillfully avoid their opponents and play passionately.
[Soundbite] Kim Min-seok (Spectator): “I often watch hockey games. Even though this is a people with disabilities, it's still dynamic and fun.”
Cross-country skiing requires more physical strength this year because the distance is now twice as long as in previous games. The Biathlon, which is the official event of the Paralympics, was featured as an exhibition game for the Korean National Winter Para Games this year. Competition in the wheelchair curling and several other events is expected to be particularly fierce this year because the athletes will receive points that could earn them a chance to represent Korea in international competitions. The Korean National Winter Para Games, which mark their 10th year, will run through February 28.
8. Eco Recovery
[Anchor Lead]
Nanji Island was used as a landfill until the early 1990s. It was turned into a park 10 years ago and is being reborn as an ecological repository in downtown Seoul. The number of animals and plants has more than doubled in the park, and even some endangered species have been spotted.
[Pkg]
World Cup Park in Seoul appeals to people who look for a good place to take a stroll and get some fresh air. Various birds, including swallows, built nests in the woods. Swallows are the harbingers of spring.
[Soundbite] “There are many kinds of birds in the woods over there. I don't know their names. I’ve never seen them before.”
A total of 970 species of animals and plants have been found in the park. The number of natural creatures living in the park has more than doubled over the past ten years since the region turned into an ecological park. Twenty kinds of new plants were found, and 100 kinds of foreign plants took root here. A frog indigenous to Korea has also made the wetland in the park its home. Seventeen species of reptiles and amphibians live here. This park is also home to ten of the nation’s natural monuments and eleven endangered animals.
[Soundbite] Kim Jong-chan (Seoul Metropolitan Government): “All gas and polluted water from the landfill were sent to a processing facility. Animals, plants and people can live here without any problems.”
From 1978 to 1993, this area was used as a landfill, but over the past ten years, it has become a valuable ecological site that both man and the wild can use as a place of refuge.
9. Going Alone
[Anchor Lead]
Traditionally in Korea, people prefer doing things in groups, and many Koreans would be reticent to go out on their own. But statistics show that nearly 24 percent of Korean households now consist of single people, and that’s bringing about a cultural sea change. The shift isn’t lost on business people, who are doing their utmost to target people who like to spend time alone.
[Pkg]
People crowd in to this noraebang, or karaoke singing room. But this place is a bit different. It's for people who want to be alone when they’re singing.
[Soundbite] “Frankly, I have to consider my friends when I go to a noraebang with them. If I choose a sad song, they wouldn’t like it. But here, I can sing whatever song I want. It’s good to hear my voice because I can monitor it by wearing headphones. So this is a good place to practice signing.”
The single-person noraebang is cheap and offers free beverages.
[Soundbite] Gang Beom-mo (Owner, Single-Person Noraebang): “Many of the customers are students, since it’s winter break. Many office workers come in the evening. Elderly people in their 60s and 70s are also frequent customers.”
At this place, all the special treatment is directed at one single customer at a time. This beauty salon offers personalized service for every one of its visitors. You reserve in advance and get the place all to yourself.
[Soundbite] “You need to make a reservation. I don’t have to wait and worry about other people. I also feel like I’m getting my own personal stylist, like a celebrity. It feels special.”
Everything is customized to each client here.
[Soundbite] Kim Gyeong-sin (Owner, Single-Person Beauty Salon): “This is a beauty salon that serves one customer at a time. There is only one seat. I can’t serve more than one customer at a time.”
Being the only customer allows people to relax and really enjoy their hair salon experience.
[Soundbite] “I can pay more attention to each customer. Most importantly, I decided to open a single-person hair salon so they can have good memories and I can get closer to them.”
This client says she’s always happy with her visits here.
[Soundbite] “I’m always satisfied with the hairdos I got here. It is a one-on-one system. He listens to me carefully and tries give me the hairstyle I want.”
In Korea, eating alone at a restaurant is often viewed as a strange thing to do. But that’s changing, and the number of restaurants devoted specifically to people who want to dine solo is on the rise.
[Soundbite] “I worry about other people when I eat out alone.”
There’s still a stigma against eating out alone, so these single-person restaurants let you avoid any awkward glances from other diners.
[Soundbite] “This is really good. There are partitions between the tables. I can eat alone silently. It’s great when I’m busy.”
This restaurant serves a daily average of 100 customers. You don’t even have to deal with a server here. You put in your order at a machine. The only thing left to do is to find your little corner and enjoy your meal in peace.
[Soundbite] “I often have to eat alone before school. There are few good places to eat alone. So I often go for hamburgers. I once had a meal here before. It was really great. Most of all, the foods this restaurant serves tastes good.”
These days, more and more people are getting away from the group in Korea and striking off on their own.
1. Inauguration Party
[Anchor Lead]
There was a festive atmosphere over the Korean capital yesterday, as President Park Geun-hye's inauguration ceremony was held against a background of hope for the nation’s future.
[Pkg]
The inauguration ceremony opened with loud cheers. Led by Soprano Jo Su-mi and Baritone Choi Hyun-soo, 70-thousand guests sang Korea's national anthem in unison. Park Geun-hye took her oath of office.
[Soundbite] Park Geun-hye (President): “I do solemnly swear that I’ll faithfully execute the Office of the President of the Republic of Korea.”
President Park inspected the honor guards of the Army, Navy and Air Force as well as the military band. She showed that she was the new commander in chief of Korea by responding to the military’s salute. The sound of a 21-gun salute rang in Yeouido, celebrating the inauguration of the nation's first-ever female president. The inauguration ceremony reached its climax while the show "Arirang Fantasy" was staged in celebration. President Park courteously saw off former President Lee Myung-bak. She waved to the people attending the ceremony on a stage in front of the National Assembly. During the president's march, the guests applauded and wished for the success of the new government.
2. First Day on the Job
[Anchor Lead]
Park got right to work after the party ended, and had her hands full on her first day as president.
[Pkg]
At midnight, the bell rang 33 times to mark the beginning of the new president's tenure. At daybreak, it's time for the nation's new president to leave her home, a place where she has lived for 23 years. The citizens presented her with a pair of Jindo dogs, the same breed that she used to have in her house.
[Soundbite] Park Geun-hye (President): “I’ll always remember you and will do my best to be a good president.”
To express her gratitude, Park left behind a tree as a symbol of hope. The first leg of the president's official schedule was a visit to the National Cemetery. She was escorted by 35 veterans and members of bereaved families instead of government officials. When paying homage to those who gave their lives for their home country, Park renewed her determination to usher in an era of hope. After the inauguration events, the president headed to Cheong Wa Dae. She said she was very moved to be back at the presidential office.
[Soundbite] “I'm very touched meeting with Hyoja-dong residents again for the first time in 30 years.”
The president arrived at the main hall of Cheong Wa Dae at 1:30 p.m. The staff gave her a warm welcome. Park headed straight to her office, where she signed an electronic bill to nominate Chung Hong-won as prime minister and began her official duties.
3. Deadlock Delay
[Anchor Lead]
The new administration has been launched but the ruling and opposition parties have yet to agree on the government reorganization bill. It looks like Park will have to work with the cabinet members selected by her predecessor for the time being.
[Pkg]
No progress is being made in talks for government reorganization. The ruling and opposition parties continued negotiating under-the-table but could not reach an agreement. The ruling Saenuri Party says it has given way as much as possible and insisted that duties regarding local cable and internet TV must be handed over to the Ministry of Future, Creation and Science. Meanwhile, the main opposition Democratic United Party maintains its stance that the job must remain in the hands of the Korea Communications Commission. The Saenuri Party added pressure stating that the opposition party was interfering with the new government's launch.
[Soundbite] Rep. Lee Han-gu (Floor Leader, Saenuri Party): “The opposition Party is making the people uneasy by dragging down the new government.”
The Democratic United Party fired back saying the ruling party was not accepting any of the opposition party's views.
[Soundbite] Rep. Park Ki-choon (Floor Leader, DUP): “We believe it can be processed immediately at the main session if they accept our views.”
The bill for government reorganization was not settled by the deadlines that both parties promised twice to keep and today's main session did not show much progress as well. Personnel hearings cannot be scheduled for the heads of the two new ministries unless the bill is passed. For the moment, the new president will have to work with ministers of the former administration.
4. A Frozen Country
[Anchor Lead]
Observers say that ordinary people in North Korea are probably struggling to survive this winter because of a deep freeze over the country that has stretched far out into the Yellow Sea for two months now.
[Pkg]
North Korea has been taking a hard-line stance following its third nuclear test. But its people can barely make ends meet. Satellite photos taken by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration show that unlike South Korea, most of the North Korean territory is covered in snow.
[Soundbite] Lee Myeong-hui (Korea Center for Atmospheric Environment Research): “Over the past two months temperatures fell to minus 17-20 degrees Celsius three or four times so the weather has been cold.”
The sea off of North Korea is still frozen as far as 40 kilometers from the shore. According to the satellite images, the Yellow Sea, which still looked blue in early December, began to freeze around Christmas last year and has remain frozen over ever since. The frozen area is now twice as large as in previous years. An analysis of the past 17 years shows that it's the first time that the sea has remained frozen for so long.
[Soundbite] Jeong Yong-seung (Korea Center for Atmospheric Environment Research): “About 10-20 km of the outer port usually gets frozen, but this year it's larger, exceeding 30-40 km.”
The situation is probably especially difficult around the site of Nampo Port, which is at the estuary of the Daedong River. This site accounts for 30 percent of North Korea's maritime trade. Experts say that fish farms and the offshore fishing sector in the area must have been hit hard by the icy weather.
[Soundbite] Prof. Im Eul-chul (Kyungnam University): “Fishermen were probably hit hard as well as the business sectors that earn foreign currency. Transportation and logistics in the Yellow Sea will also have been hit.”
Experts say the Yellow Sea off of North Korea will likely remain frozen until early March.

Nanji Island was used as a landfill until the early 1990s. It was turned into a park 10 years ago and is being reborn as an ecological repository in downtown Seoul. The number of animals and plants has more than doubled in the park, and even some endangered species have been spotted.

World Cup Park in Seoul appeals to people who look for a good place to take a stroll and get some fresh air. Various birds, including swallows, built nests in the woods. Swallows are the harbingers of spring.
[Soundbite] “There are many kinds of birds in the woods over there. I don't know their names. I’ve never seen them before.”
A total of 970 species of animals and plants have been found in the park. The number of natural creatures living in the park has more than doubled over the past ten years since the region turned into an ecological park. Twenty kinds of new plants were found, and 100 kinds of foreign plants took root here. A frog indigenous to Korea has also made the wetland in the park its home. Seventeen species of reptiles and amphibians live here. This park is also home to ten of the nation’s natural monuments and eleven endangered animals.
[Soundbite] Kim Jong-chan (Seoul Metropolitan Government): “All gas and polluted water from the landfill were sent to a processing facility. Animals, plants and people can live here without any problems.”
From 1978 to 1993, this area was used as a landfill, but over the past ten years, it has become a valuable ecological site that both man and the wild can use as a place of refuge.
9. Going Alone
[Anchor Lead]
Traditionally in Korea, people prefer doing things in groups, and many Koreans would be reticent to go out on their own. But statistics show that nearly 24 percent of Korean households now consist of single people, and that’s bringing about a cultural sea change. The shift isn’t lost on business people, who are doing their utmost to target people who like to spend time alone.
[Pkg]
People crowd in to this noraebang, or karaoke singing room. But this place is a bit different. It's for people who want to be alone when they’re singing.
[Soundbite] “Frankly, I have to consider my friends when I go to a noraebang with them. If I choose a sad song, they wouldn’t like it. But here, I can sing whatever song I want. It’s good to hear my voice because I can monitor it by wearing headphones. So this is a good place to practice signing.”
The single-person noraebang is cheap and offers free beverages.
[Soundbite] Gang Beom-mo (Owner, Single-Person Noraebang): “Many of the customers are students, since it’s winter break. Many office workers come in the evening. Elderly people in their 60s and 70s are also frequent customers.”
At this place, all the special treatment is directed at one single customer at a time. This beauty salon offers personalized service for every one of its visitors. You reserve in advance and get the place all to yourself.
[Soundbite] “You need to make a reservation. I don’t have to wait and worry about other people. I also feel like I’m getting my own personal stylist, like a celebrity. It feels special.”
Everything is customized to each client here.
[Soundbite] Kim Gyeong-sin (Owner, Single-Person Beauty Salon): “This is a beauty salon that serves one customer at a time. There is only one seat. I can’t serve more than one customer at a time.”
Being the only customer allows people to relax and really enjoy their hair salon experience.
[Soundbite] “I can pay more attention to each customer. Most importantly, I decided to open a single-person hair salon so they can have good memories and I can get closer to them.”
This client says she’s always happy with her visits here.
[Soundbite] “I’m always satisfied with the hairdos I got here. It is a one-on-one system. He listens to me carefully and tries give me the hairstyle I want.”
In Korea, eating alone at a restaurant is often viewed as a strange thing to do. But that’s changing, and the number of restaurants devoted specifically to people who want to dine solo is on the rise.
[Soundbite] “I worry about other people when I eat out alone.”
There’s still a stigma against eating out alone, so these single-person restaurants let you avoid any awkward glances from other diners.
[Soundbite] “This is really good. There are partitions between the tables. I can eat alone silently. It’s great when I’m busy.”
This restaurant serves a daily average of 100 customers. You don’t even have to deal with a server here. You put in your order at a machine. The only thing left to do is to find your little corner and enjoy your meal in peace.
[Soundbite] “I often have to eat alone before school. There are few good places to eat alone. So I often go for hamburgers. I once had a meal here before. It was really great. Most of all, the foods this restaurant serves tastes good.”
These days, more and more people are getting away from the group in Korea and striking off on their own.
1. Inauguration Party
[Anchor Lead]
There was a festive atmosphere over the Korean capital yesterday, as President Park Geun-hye's inauguration ceremony was held against a background of hope for the nation’s future.
[Pkg]
The inauguration ceremony opened with loud cheers. Led by Soprano Jo Su-mi and Baritone Choi Hyun-soo, 70-thousand guests sang Korea's national anthem in unison. Park Geun-hye took her oath of office.
[Soundbite] Park Geun-hye (President): “I do solemnly swear that I’ll faithfully execute the Office of the President of the Republic of Korea.”
President Park inspected the honor guards of the Army, Navy and Air Force as well as the military band. She showed that she was the new commander in chief of Korea by responding to the military’s salute. The sound of a 21-gun salute rang in Yeouido, celebrating the inauguration of the nation's first-ever female president. The inauguration ceremony reached its climax while the show "Arirang Fantasy" was staged in celebration. President Park courteously saw off former President Lee Myung-bak. She waved to the people attending the ceremony on a stage in front of the National Assembly. During the president's march, the guests applauded and wished for the success of the new government.
2. First Day on the Job
[Anchor Lead]
Park got right to work after the party ended, and had her hands full on her first day as president.
[Pkg]
At midnight, the bell rang 33 times to mark the beginning of the new president's tenure. At daybreak, it's time for the nation's new president to leave her home, a place where she has lived for 23 years. The citizens presented her with a pair of Jindo dogs, the same breed that she used to have in her house.
[Soundbite] Park Geun-hye (President): “I’ll always remember you and will do my best to be a good president.”
To express her gratitude, Park left behind a tree as a symbol of hope. The first leg of the president's official schedule was a visit to the National Cemetery. She was escorted by 35 veterans and members of bereaved families instead of government officials. When paying homage to those who gave their lives for their home country, Park renewed her determination to usher in an era of hope. After the inauguration events, the president headed to Cheong Wa Dae. She said she was very moved to be back at the presidential office.
[Soundbite] “I'm very touched meeting with Hyoja-dong residents again for the first time in 30 years.”
The president arrived at the main hall of Cheong Wa Dae at 1:30 p.m. The staff gave her a warm welcome. Park headed straight to her office, where she signed an electronic bill to nominate Chung Hong-won as prime minister and began her official duties.
3. Deadlock Delay
[Anchor Lead]
The new administration has been launched but the ruling and opposition parties have yet to agree on the government reorganization bill. It looks like Park will have to work with the cabinet members selected by her predecessor for the time being.
[Pkg]
No progress is being made in talks for government reorganization. The ruling and opposition parties continued negotiating under-the-table but could not reach an agreement. The ruling Saenuri Party says it has given way as much as possible and insisted that duties regarding local cable and internet TV must be handed over to the Ministry of Future, Creation and Science. Meanwhile, the main opposition Democratic United Party maintains its stance that the job must remain in the hands of the Korea Communications Commission. The Saenuri Party added pressure stating that the opposition party was interfering with the new government's launch.
[Soundbite] Rep. Lee Han-gu (Floor Leader, Saenuri Party): “The opposition Party is making the people uneasy by dragging down the new government.”
The Democratic United Party fired back saying the ruling party was not accepting any of the opposition party's views.
[Soundbite] Rep. Park Ki-choon (Floor Leader, DUP): “We believe it can be processed immediately at the main session if they accept our views.”
The bill for government reorganization was not settled by the deadlines that both parties promised twice to keep and today's main session did not show much progress as well. Personnel hearings cannot be scheduled for the heads of the two new ministries unless the bill is passed. For the moment, the new president will have to work with ministers of the former administration.
4. A Frozen Country
[Anchor Lead]
Observers say that ordinary people in North Korea are probably struggling to survive this winter because of a deep freeze over the country that has stretched far out into the Yellow Sea for two months now.
[Pkg]
North Korea has been taking a hard-line stance following its third nuclear test. But its people can barely make ends meet. Satellite photos taken by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration show that unlike South Korea, most of the North Korean territory is covered in snow.
[Soundbite] Lee Myeong-hui (Korea Center for Atmospheric Environment Research): “Over the past two months temperatures fell to minus 17-20 degrees Celsius three or four times so the weather has been cold.”
The sea off of North Korea is still frozen as far as 40 kilometers from the shore. According to the satellite images, the Yellow Sea, which still looked blue in early December, began to freeze around Christmas last year and has remain frozen over ever since. The frozen area is now twice as large as in previous years. An analysis of the past 17 years shows that it's the first time that the sea has remained frozen for so long.
[Soundbite] Jeong Yong-seung (Korea Center for Atmospheric Environment Research): “About 10-20 km of the outer port usually gets frozen, but this year it's larger, exceeding 30-40 km.”
The situation is probably especially difficult around the site of Nampo Port, which is at the estuary of the Daedong River. This site accounts for 30 percent of North Korea's maritime trade. Experts say that fish farms and the offshore fishing sector in the area must have been hit hard by the icy weather.
[Soundbite] Prof. Im Eul-chul (Kyungnam University): “Fishermen were probably hit hard as well as the business sectors that earn foreign currency. Transportation and logistics in the Yellow Sea will also have been hit.”
Experts say the Yellow Sea off of North Korea will likely remain frozen until early March.
5. Bullying Reports
[Anchor Lead]
The Ministry of Education and some regional education offices are at odds over whether to include school bullies’ histories of violence in their report cards.
[Pkg]
A high school in Gyeonggi Province is preparing to accept new students. With the start of a new semester, teachers are busy dealing with administrative affairs, such as writing student reports. The atmosphere of the school is somewhat unusual, since it’s under police investigation for rejecting the Education Ministry's order to write the records of school bullies in their school reports. Nine high schools in Gyeonggi Province are being investigated for disobeying the ministry. The ministry ordered schools to write bullying records in student reports and keep them for five years. But four education offices, including those in Gyeonggi Province and North Jeolla Province, refused, stating that it violates the human rights of students. On February 22, the Gyeonggi Provincial Education Office suggested a compromise for having records of bullying in subsidiary documents. But the bone of contention remains, as the education office opposes using the documents as references for entering college or getting jobs. The differing guidelines of the Education Ministry and education offices have become a source of confusion at schools, although most schools finished writing their evaluations. The four education offices say that they will continue to not record the problematic behavior of bullies in their school reports until the Education Ministry accepts the recommendation of the National Human Rights Commission and presents a new compromise. Schools will, for now, have to bear the confusion.
6. On Thin Ice
[Anchor Lead]
Ice fishing can end in tragedy these days, as frozen lakes begin to thaw.
[Pkg]
The lake looks as though it is completely frozen over. The ice is so thick that it is strong enough to hold the weight of five men at the edge of the lake. But cracks are found near the center of the lake. The thickness of the ice from the edge and center were compared. The ice from the shore is 10 centimeters thick while the one from the middle of the lake is six centimeters thick. On Sunday, three people broke through the ice and into the lake while ice-fishing here. Two of them drowned and died.
[Soundbite] Kim Won-cheon (Cheonan Seobuk Fire Station): “A woman was holding onto an ice box, looking up at the sky. A man beside her had hypothermia.”
If one falls through a crack at a frozen lake, one should try not to panick. Instead, one should support one’s body by stretching one’s arms out and grab a hold of the ice, which is then when one can signal for help. Once out of the water and back on the ice, one should never stand straight up due to the body’s concentrated weight on the fragile surface. Instead, one should roll away from the ice hole to disperse one’s body weight to prevent another chance of falling into the water again.
7. Winter Para Games
[Anchor Lead]
The Korean National Winter Para Games have begun in Gangwon Province. We take you there now.
[Pkg]
At the raise of a flag, the athletes take off skating with all their might. They fall, but gather their strength and get back on their feet.
[Soundbite] Park Hui-seong (Visually Impaired Athlete): “It's fun competing and I can definitely withstand the pain.”
Sledding athletes fight for the ball. They skillfully avoid their opponents and play passionately.
[Soundbite] Kim Min-seok (Spectator): “I often watch hockey games. Even though this is a people with disabilities, it's still dynamic and fun.”
Cross-country skiing requires more physical strength this year because the distance is now twice as long as in previous games. The Biathlon, which is the official event of the Paralympics, was featured as an exhibition game for the Korean National Winter Para Games this year. Competition in the wheelchair curling and several other events is expected to be particularly fierce this year because the athletes will receive points that could earn them a chance to represent Korea in international competitions. The Korean National Winter Para Games, which mark their 10th year, will run through February 28.
