Seoul Subway Line 5 fire incident

At around 8:47 AM on May 31, 2025, a fire unfortunately broke out on a train operating between Yeoinaru Station and Mapo Station on Seoul Subway Line 5. The fire appears to have originated from flammable materials used inside the passenger compartment, and authorities are proceeding with an investigation, leaning towards the possibility of arson. As a result, train operations were temporarily halted from Yeouido Station to Aeogae Station. Some passengers who were on board at the time made an emergency escape near Mapo Station and evacuated along the tracks. Fortunately, there have been no reports of casualties so far, and initial firefighting efforts have been completed. The fire department responded immediately upon receiving the fire report around 8:45 AM and quickly took action to extinguish the flames, while the police are simultaneously investigating the cause of the fire. Train operations are still delayed or suspended in some sections, and Seoul Transportation Corporation plans to announce the resumption of normal service after the situation stabilizes. Since the fire occurred during rush hour, it has caused significant inconvenience to citizens. The city of Seoul plans to inspect the overall safety management system of the subway regarding the possibility of arson as soon as the related investigation is concluded.

Allegations of school violence against actress Ko Min-si

Actor Go Min-si has completely denied allegations of school violence raised online and announced legal action. This controversy began with a post on an online community on May 26. The poster claimed that Go Min-si, during her middle school years when she went by the name 'Go Hye-ji,' committed school violence along with a group of bullies. The discussion quickly spread as both her real name and her previous name were mentioned. In response, her agency Mystic Story stated, "This is a clear falsehood and an act that seriously damages the actor's reputation," and announced plans to take legal action against those spreading false information. A friend involved in the issue, identified as Mr. Kim, also expressed his grievances and denied the allegations online. While some responses online suggest that the credibility of the allegations is low, there are also demands to clarify the truth. Go Min-si is currently appearing in the drama 'Your Taste,' and there are predictions that this controversy could affect her future projects. The agency plans to release additional statements once the facts are confirmed.

Elon Musk steps down from his position as special advisor for DOGE.

On May 30, 2025, Elon Musk officially announced his resignation from the position of DOGE Special Advisor during a press conference held at the White House. However, the conference garnered unexpected attention as a visible bruise was seen on his right eye. He explained that the cause of the bruise occurred while playing with his 5-year-old son, X Æ A-12, stating, "I told little X to hit me in the face during our playtime, and he actually did." The press conference took place shortly after an article from The New York Times reported allegations of Musk's excessive use of ketamine, amplifying the criticism against him. President Donald Trump presented Musk with a golden key inscribed with the White House emblem in recognition of his contributions. Musk claimed he achieved $1 trillion in budget savings through DOGE however, the actual reported savings amounted to only $160 billion, with some analyses pointing to a loss of $135 billion instead. Musk compared DOGE to "a way of life similar to Buddhism," stating that the philosophy of DOGE will continue even after his resignation. Nevertheless, with declining market share and sales at Tesla, criticism has intensified, leading to growing interest in his future actions.

Controversy over Yoo Ah-in's Participation in the Movie 'High Five'

As the movie "High Five" is set to be released during the June holiday, controversies surrounding actor Yoo Ah-in's participation continue. High Five is a comic action film that depicts how ordinary people with superpowers overcome crises, directed by Kang Hyung-cheol, featuring Ra Mi-ran, Park Jin-young, and Lee Jae-in. While it was planned as a family-friendly entertainment film, Yoo Ah-in's involvement has created significant social concern. Yoo Ah-in is currently facing trial on charges of habitual use of propofol, leading some members of the public to express worries about the film's release itself. In a recent interview, director Kang Hyung-cheol emphasized that "High Five is a film for pure enjoyment," explaining the film's original intent. Ra Mi-ran stated that "Yoo Ah-in looks cool in the work, but he needs to face the consequences," expressing a cautious stance. She also hinted that Yoo Ah-in does not have a significant amount of screen time. The film carries a lighthearted atmosphere, combining superpowers, action, and comedy, with Park Jin-young taking on a villain role alongside veteran actor Shin Gu, trying his hand at a unique performance. Ra Mi-ran expressed her hope to exceed 5 million viewers, but the image risk associated with Yoo Ah-in remains a burden, prompting discussions about the importance of the film's box office results amid controversy and the ethical judgments made by audiences.
