Bugs and hair came out… Shanghai students exposed ‘Parasite lunch box’

1. Harisu visited the National Assembly “There are many days of crying”… Call for enactment of anti-discrimination law

The hashtag in the first post is #Anti-Discrimination Law. The Anti-Discrimination Act stipulates that no one shall be discriminated against for any reason, including gender, disability, sexual orientation, etc. Since it was first proposed in 2007, there have been several attempts to legislate over the past 15 years, but they have been frustrated every time because of the need for social consensus. Today (28th), a transgender broadcaster, Mr. Harisu, visited the National Assembly and demanded the prompt legislation of the Anti-Discrimination Act. At this event, she also talked about ‘the discrimination I experienced on TV as the first transgender entertainer’. Previously, Mr. Ha asked for an interview with the Democratic Party’s Joint Emergency Response Committee Chairman Yun Ho-jung and Park Ji-hyeon, floor leader Park Hong-geun, People’s Strength Representative Lee Jun-seok and floor leader Kwon Seong-dong.

2. Woori Bank employee embezzles 60 billion won from the head office… Initiation of inspection by the Financial Supervisory Service

The hashtag in the next post is #60 billion embezzlement. An employee of Woori Bank who embezzled 60 billion won worth of company money last night was urgently arrested. The employee is accused of finding and stealing about 60 billion won of funds related to the sale of a company into his personal account three times over six years from 2012 to 2018. This is known to be part of the reparation that the Korean government has to pay to Iran during the Daewoo Electronics M&A process. This incident occurred at the head office of a bank, the first financial sector, and is giving a bigger shock. An official from the Financial Supervisory Service said, “We will check whether there are any problems with the internal control system,” saying that an inspection of Woori Bank will begin.

3. Parasites, bugs, hair… Shanghai students exposed ‘Parasite lunch box’

The last hashtag is #Parasite Lunchbox. The lockdown in Shanghai has been going on for a month in China. Under these circumstances, the lunch boxes distributed to students under quarantine at a university in Shanghai are controversial. The hygiene status of lunch boxes posted on Chinese social media is truly shocking. From undercooked, pale pink pork to traces of parasites, thick hairs are abundant in the fat area. The problem isn’t just pork. Insects of unknown identity also appeared. Relevant authorities have disclosed the pork supplier and lunch box manufacturer in question, and have taken action, stating that they will be disposed of according to the results of the investigation. However, angry public opinion is not easily subsided.
