Quick Glance: South Korea: Consumer Sentiment Declines Due to Food Inflation
  • South Korea's consumer sentiment dropped sharply in March due to rising concerns over food prices, becoming a significant political issue in the upcoming elections.

  • The consumer sentiment index decreased to 100.7 in March from 101.9 in February, marking the largest monthly decline since October, according to the Bank of Korea's regular consumer survey.

  • Higher prices of agricultural products have been linked in part to adverse weather conditions, with the opposition Democratic Party (DP) criticizing President Yoon Suk Yeol's administration for economic mismanagement.

  • In response to the situation, the government has implemented measures such as subsidies and reduced tariffs on imported agricultural goods to curb inflation.

Quick Glance: North Korea's Kim Supervises 'Super-Large' Rocket Launcher Drills
  • North Korean leader Kim Jong Un oversaw live-fire drills involving 'newly-equipped super-large' multiple rocket launchers.

  • The drills aimed to test the 'real war capabilities' of the 600-millimeter multiple rocket launchers and included simulating an aerial explosion of a shell at a predetermined altitude above the target.

  • Kim emphasized that the rocket launchers would be the 'core central striking means' in war preparations and that the army should possess destructive offensive means to block and suppress the possibility of war.

  • North Korea is banned from testing ballistic missiles due to long-running sanctions, and the latest tests were seen as the regime's attempt to demonstrate strength, signal costs on the Korean Peninsula for security cooperation, and warn Washington against increased pressure.

Quick Glance: Current Status of Doctors' Strike in South Korea
  • For over a week, thousands of doctors in South Korea have been on strike, yet a resolution to their dispute with the government remains elusive.

  • The conflict originated from the government's proposal in February to increase student admissions to medical schools in order to combat the long-standing physician shortage in South Korea.

  • Despite the doctors' opposition and the backing of their senior colleagues, the government persisted with its plan, resulting in a surge of resignations among trainee doctors.
