Recently, amidst the deaths of courier drivers believed to be overworked, support for courier drivers continues among netizens.
Snacks and drinks placed in front of the front door and a memo are also attached there. These are snacks and cheering messages prepared by residents for the troubled delivery drivers.
If you search for'thank you, the courier' on social media, or'thank you, the courier', you can easily find pictures that express your gratitude to the courier in their own way. As the facts become known, support continues.
There are also opinions that they will refrain from the same-day delivery service unless it is very urgent. In this atmosphere, delivery companies are also putting out measures to prevent overwork.
CJ Logistics announced that it will step-by-step with 4,000 people for sorting parcels, but the task of sorting parcels has been pointed out as the main cause of overwork by couriers.
In addition, Hanjin Courier has also announced that it will employ 1,000 people to support parcel sorting and provide cardiovascular disease screening for courier workers.

I think we need to come up with some measures that can substantially reduce the work.
What about the next news?
<Ko Hyun-jun/Presentation Critic> The
following news happened in Russia. In a rural village mayoral election, an incumbent mayor and a city hall cleaner were confronted with each other.
Marina Odgodskaya, who was recently elected mayor in the small town of Povalikino in western Russia, was a municipal cleaner just a month ago.
She wasn't interested in politics at all and she loved farming, and it was thanks to former mayor Nikolai Loctef that she became mayor overnight.
Looking for re-election, Loctef convinced Udgodskaya to become a bridesmaid when he had no other candidates before the election.
In order to create the image of democratic choice, a rival candidate was needed, but when I opened the lid, Udgodskaya got 62% of the vote and was elected the mayor.
Residents wanted change, resistance to Loctev's united Russian party, and various interpretations of the election results.
Right after the election, I was told that Udgodskaya, who was lowering himself as a fake candidate, is currently working hard on the mayor's work.

Today (27th), the last news is about the United States.
In the United States, an operation to combat long-lived wasps, so-called'murder wasps', is unfolding.
The Washington State Department of Agriculture removed a bucket of long-lived wasp nests from the forests of Blaine in northern Seattle.
Entomologists, who are fully armed with protective gear from head to toe, to work, are reminiscent of astronauts. They even mobilized a vacuum cleaner to capture longevity wasps.
Earlier, the Washington State Department of Agriculture captured three long-lived wasps over the course of a week, then installed a locator, and tracked the signal to locate the hive.
This long-lived wasp, which is commonly seen in East Asia including Korea, is called the Asian giant wasp in the West, and was officially spotted for the first time in the United States at the end of last year.
Local media reported heavily that it was the landing of murder wasps, but in Korea, longevity wasps are well known as dangerous insects.
Longevity wasps' saliva easily penetrates not only human skin but also rubber gloves, and has a solid upper enough to survive for a long time even if stepped on with shoes.
Therefore, the fire department recommends that if only one long-lived wasp is found, it is immediately removed.
