‘Three breaks today’ presents the news that has become a hot topic online

A few hours later, at midnight, the last match of our football team will take place in the Qatar World Cup group stage, against Portugal.

In preparation for the final street cheering, the Seoul Metropolitan Government has decided to increase the operating time of the subway.

The extended subway lines are Lines 2, 3, and 5 which pass by Gwanghwamun Square and City Hall, where street cheer events are held.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced that from the time the cheering game ends until 3 am, subway lines 2, 3 and 5 will be operated 30 times, 5 times each for the upper and lower lines.

In addition, late night buses operate as usual on all 14 routes.

From 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm immediately after the game, we plan to send trains intensively to the city area, including Gwanghwamun Square.

However, two bus stops at the Sejong Center for the Performing Arts are temporarily closed from 8 pm

In addition, in order to prevent congestion, collisions on vehicles that violate parking and stopping are strengthened, and the rental of public bicycles and electric kickboards is also limited.

Pianist Lim Yoon-chan, the youngest winner of the Van Cliburn Competition and highly praised for her ‘spiritual playing’.

At that time, Yunchan Lim’s performance was chosen as one of the ‘Ten Best Classical Performances of the Year’ by the New York Times.

Last June, pianist Yunchan Lim won the world-renowned piano competition, the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in the United States.

The New York Times evaluated Im Yun-chan’s performance at the time as ‘passionate power and fresh poetic expression’.

He added, “You can feel it was an excellent performance full of confidence and maturity which is hard to believe for an 18-year-old girl,” and revealed the reason for the choice.

Regarding this, at the press conference held today, Lim Yoon-chan said, “It is an honor to hear my flawed music and give such an evaluation.”

Yunchan Lim said, ‘I want to play something that no one else does’.

Looking forward to more performances in the future.

Four lion cubs born during the war in Ukraine had to be separated from their mother to avoid bombing.

Found a new home in America.

I feed them through the hole in the wooden crate.

The animals in the box are none other than lion cubs.

One male lion and three female lions, four in total.

After a 9-hour flight, we arrived at the ‘Wild Cat Shelter’ in Minnesota, USA on the 30th of last month via Poland.

Three kittens were brought from one mother from Odessa, Ukraine, and the other from Kieu.

Unfortunately, the whereabouts and death of the mother lion have not been confirmed.

The animal group that helped the cubs relocate said the cubs were separated from their mothers within weeks of being born because of the war in Ukraine, and had to avoid several bombings and drone strikes.

In addition, it was announced that the appearance of the lion cubs will not be released to the public for the time being, and they can be seen through the website and Facebook video.

So far, it has been ‘three cuts today’.
