\n Hannam New Town: Villas Once Priced at ₩1 Billion Now Asking ₩4 Billion—but Transactions Have Frozen Reports say asking prices for some aging villas in Hannam New Town that were worth around ₩1 billion in 2020 have recently climbed to around ₩4 billion. At a glance, the numbers make it look as though these properties have generated enormous returns in a short time. But rising asking prices do not mean actual transactions or profits have kept pace. The defining feature of Hannam New Town’s market today is the coexistence of surging asking prices and a frozen transaction market . Higher Asking Prices Don’t Automatically Mean Higher Sale Prices In redevelopment areas with few properties on the market, owners are often in no rush to sell. And as projects progress and expectations of moving into newly built apartments grow, owners tend to demand higher prices. This can lead to the following market conditions: Fewer properties are listed. Sellers raise their a...

\n Cowboys Let a Winless Team Take Their House Tampa Bay, still searching for its first win of the season, went on the road to Dallas and came away with a 24–16 victory. What made it sting even more: Tampa Bay played without its starting quarterback, Baker Mayfield. At home, against an opponent that seemed to be at a clear disadvantage, the Cowboys fell apart. Tampa Bay started undrafted rookie quarterback Jalon Daniels, but the offense never looked unsettled. The reason was simple: Dallas couldn’t stop the run, and Tampa Bay kept exploiting it. Running back Bucky Irving was at the heart of it, piling up 165 yards. His explosive 72-yard run was more than just a big play. It showed how easily the Cowboys’ gap discipline, tackling, and defensive scheme as a whole could break down. Dallas, meanwhile, managed just 16 points. Dak Prescott threw an interception, and the offense repeatedly failed to sustain drives at crucial moments. The Cowboys should have controlled...

\n Serverless: From Managing Servers to an Era of AI-Operated Infrastructure “Build and deploy an order processing service.” What if, after you entered that one sentence, AI didn’t stop at writing API code, but also configured an AWS Lambda function, API Gateway, a database, and the necessary permissions? And after deployment, if an error occurred, it could analyze the logs, fix an incorrect environment variable or IAM permission, and deploy again. This is no longer just a story about the distant future. Serverless Framework v4.43.0 reflects a shift in who the core users of development tools are: from human developers to AI coding agents . Traditionally, Serverless development meant that developers declared functions, events, permissions, and data stores in serverless.yml , then deployed them with CLI commands. The cloud handled operational tasks such as server provisioning, scaling, and patching, while developers focused on business logic and infrastructure d...

\n Buccaneers vs. Cowboys: An Expected Win, but Questions Remain The Dallas Cowboys improved to 3–2 on the season with a 36–20 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Dallas was favored before kickoff, so the home victory itself came as no surprise. Their explosive scoring ability, Tampa Bay’s shaky offensive line, and the absence of its starting quarterback all pointed to a relatively clear outcome. But the result of Buccaneers vs. Cowboys doesn’t mean Dallas is a finished product. The offense delivered as expected with 36 points, but the defense still left one question hanging: Can it hold up against stronger opponents? Before the game, Dallas had allowed 150.3 rushing yards per game and given up a 52.3% third-down conversion rate. If Tampa Bay had kept pounding the ball on the ground and used short passes to find a rhythm, the game could have become much more difficult. It’s also clear that the Buccaneers failed to capitalize on their chances as their offense los...

\n Parenting: Why Have “Good Parents” Had to Cope Alone? It’s almost time to drop your child off, but they have a fever. Your work schedule is already packed, and you find yourself checking your phone again and again, trying to find someone who can look after them. In moments like these, what parents need isn’t “Just hang in there a little longer.” It’s a network of care they can turn to, even if only for a little while . For a long time, parenting has been treated as a personal responsibility for parents—especially mothers—to shoulder on their own. Taking time off when a child is sick, keeping track of daycare schedules and vaccinations, and figuring out care during school breaks have all been seen as simply part of the job. But expecting one person to carry every schedule and every emotion is not sustainable. The question parenting raises in 2026 is clear: Not “Should parents try harder?” but “Why have we left care to just one person?” Why Parenting A...
