It's the last day of 2022 before you know it.

Even if the same 24 hours pass, when the sun changes, it feels like there is a big change in body and mind.

In fact, you may even get a year older.

This year was a meaningful time when the first soup was born. 



In the last soup of this year, we put the soup that readers loved the most.


Soup with the World Cup


The scene where Messi finally took a period as a 'legend' beyond Maradona.



The scene where Messi's Argentina won the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, not only soccer fans but also many people were moved and delighted.

Korea's propaganda, which reached the round of 16 after 12 years, also gave us joy.

There are many memorable moments, such as Son Heung-min, who burned his fighting spirit despite a facial injury, and Cho Kyu-seong, the protagonist of Korea's first multi-goal in the finals.

show how authoritarian countries have utilized major sporting events And you can see the situation where that trend is getting stronger recently with interesting data. 


Hot and Cool Soup Economy


High-flying inflation, interest rates soaring and money lines drying up.



At times like this, I tend to want to save even the smallest part.

Everyone must have seen an advertisement telling people to quickly save money and receive income tax deductions before the year ends.

The secrets that pension savings insurance does not tell, the business cost information of insurance companies that are hard to find as if they are hidden even though they provide information, and the structure and operation results that are difficult to obtain the principal are coolly and hotly released from the soup economy.

It will also resonate with the readers.

'Mr. Everything' bin Salman


Saudi Arabia's heir to the throne and prime minister, Mohammed bin Salman, has garnered a lot of attention.



Bin Salman, who is called 'Mr. Everysing' because he has both power and wealth, was a hot topic in many ways, such as holding talks with President Yoon Seok-yeol and meeting with the heads of large Korean companies even during his short visit to Korea for only one night and two days.

It was also noteworthy that bin Salman, who is in power, seems to be getting closer to China while keeping a distance from the United States.

Chinese President Xi Jinping visited Saudi Arabia in person to strengthen cooperation with the Middle East, and he was interested in how Saudi Arabia and bin Salman departing from the pro-US line would affect the world situation.

The soup content, which analyzed bin Salman in more depth and variety than any other domestic media, was included in the top 5 readers' choice.

The soup that uncovered celebrity exclusive contracts


Singer and actor Lee Seung-gi, and Loona member Chuu.



As both of them got caught up in a dispute with their agency, it became a big issue and controversy this year.

In both cases, the exclusive contract between the celebrity and the company became a problem.

The agency exclusively secures entertainers in advance, and entertainers prepare a foundation for them to fully demonstrate their capabilities through the agency. If done well, it can be a win-win for each other, but this exclusive contract is also where disputes, big and small, never end. .

Cold wave caused by climate change


​​​​​​​Climate change is behind the severe cold wave this winter.



From December 1, the beginning of winter, the temperature in Seoul recorded -9.4 degrees Celsius, the fifth lowest since meteorological observations.

At the time, the perceived temperature went down to minus 12 degrees, but this cold was just the beginning.

Cold air from the Arctic flowed down to Korea as a huge whirlpool called the 'Polar Vortex' collapsed.

This winter is expected to be even colder, which is said to be highly related to climate change, especially high temperatures in the Arctic.
