It is a real-time e-news that looks at the news that has become a hot topic on the Internet overnight.
Not long ago, a mother in her 80s and her son in her 50s were found in Jongno-gu, Seoul, about a month after their death. It seems that they have suffered from hardship for a long time, but I have read many articles that they have not been able to receive a living wage because of an old house that is more than 80 years old. .
The deceased son, Mr. Lee, visited the ward office twice in December last year to complain about the hardships of living and to apply for basic livelihood benefits.
However, at the end of February, I was notified that I was finally excluded from the basic livelihood benefit. Although I had very little income, the problem was that I owned a collapsing house built in the 1930s.
This is because the published price of the house was higher than the selection criteria when converted into income.
However, during this process, no visits were made to the ward office.
The ward office explained that 'because there are standards, the results would not have changed even if they had visited the investigation', but the article pointed out that if they knew exactly what they were doing, they could have linked other welfare benefits.

I've seen many articles about Jimin, a member of the group BTS, being caught up in the controversy over arrears in health insurance premiums.
According to a media report yesterday (24th), the Yongsan branch of the National Health Service confiscated Jimin's apartment in Hannam-dong in January.
The seizure registration was canceled on the 22nd, three months later, when Jimin paid the health insurance premiums in full.
In this regard, BTS' management company explained, "Some mail was omitted due to an error in the process of receiving and delivering the mail that arrived at the dormitory."
He continued, "Jimin was unaware of the overdue due to overseas schedules and long vacations since the end of last year.

We were also very interested in the results of the survey that Korea is the country where expensive phones are selling the best in the world.
According to a study conducted by a global market research company, as of last year, Korea had the highest average selling price of smartphones among 88 countries around the world.
According to another report, 6 out of 10 best-selling smartphones in Korea last year were premium models priced around 1 million won.
The mobile communication industry believes that this is because Korean consumers tend to 'buy a good phone to buy' and often go to a mobile carrier's agency to purchase it.
This is because dealerships usually drive sales subsidies to expensive smartphones.
Recently, an increasing number of young people want to save on telecommunication charges with a budget phone and buy a handset as a high-end phone, so this trend will continue in the future, the article predicted.
