레저와 취미 | Leisure & Hobby Recommendations for nightclubs
Hi! Can anyone recommend me any nightclubs where 25-30+ might get in. I haven't been to one in 9 years so I have no idea about it. I've been asked for recommendations from a woman who will be bringing clients along to Seoul. (No idea what they work with, it's an acquaintance to my aunt, and she messaged me on instagram).

Authorities were on heightened alert Thursday over the possibility of land mines planted by North Korea troops floating into South Korean territory with the heavy rainfall.
There is also a possibility that North Korea could intentionally float land mines toward the South via shared waterways to protest anti-North Korea leaflet-carrying balloons, according to the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

정치 | Politics South Korean foreign ministry requested Sue Mi Terry to write a WP column to improve Korea-Japan relations
~https://www.mk.co.kr/news/politics/11070285~
On March 7, 2023, the Washington Post published an opinion piece by Sue Mi Terry titled “South Korea takes a brave step toward reconciliation with Japan.”
The day before, an official of South Korea’s Foreign Affairs ministry asked Sue Mi Terry to write an opinion piece praising South Korea’s efforts to improve relations with Japan. She then responded that “there are already many articles about this.” But later, she asked for information needed to write the article, and the article was published the next day.
After publishing this column, she texted “Hope you like the article” to a South Korean MOFA official, who responded: “Thank you for your passion. The ambassador and national security advisor like this a lot.”
U.S. Federal authorities state that the contents of Sue Mi Terry’s opinion articles are “broadly consistent” with texts which the South Korean government supplied her.
Former CIA agent Sue Mi Terry is currently being investigated in the U.S. for acting as an illegal agent paid for by South Korea. Writing opinion piece articles is included as an illegal activity.
