Looking for a unique summer outing with your family or friends?

Head to the Bonghwa Sweetfish Festival (λ΄‰ν™”μ€μ–΄μΆ•μ œ) for a fun and memorable experience with a traditional Korean countryside atmosphere.

The festival began on July 25 and runs until August 2.

The main highlight is the exciting bare-hand sweetfish catching experience. After catching your fish, you can either take it home or have it grilled on-site for an additional fee and enjoy it fresh.

Besides fishing, the festival offers a variety of activities for both children and adults, including games, cultural performances, and hands-on experience programs.

The fishing ticket costs KRW 12,000 per person, with KRW 5,000 refundable. You can also rent all the necessary fishing equipment at the venue.

Lost an item on the Seoul Metro? It can now be delivered straight to your doorstep!

In a major convenience upgrade, Seoul Metro will launch a home delivery service for lost items starting July 20.

From now on, if you lose something on the subway, you won't need to visit a Lost & Found center to retrieve it. After your identity is verified, your recovered item can be delivered by courier to your home, workplace, or any address you choose.

This new service is expected to make the lost-and-found process much easier and more convenient for subway passengers.

Two individuals have been charged in South Korea for allegedly using government subsidy funds to cultivate ma*****na in an underground bunker.

According to prosecutors, the two men abused a government support program for young farmers to obtain nearly 1 billion won in public funds. They allegedly used the money to build an underground ma*****na cultivation facility, where they were caught growing 134 cannabis plants earlier this year.

The two men, both in their 30s, have also been charged with additional counts of fraud. One of them is currently in custody. They were already facing charges for violating South Korea's Narcotics Control Act.

Prosecutors said the suspects used fake addresses and submitted false farming plans to qualify for the government subsidies. In reality, they had no intention of engaging in legitimate farming.
