\n Kim Yong-gun and the Circumstances That Kept Him from Attending the Funeral Choi Bul-am’s final farewell—after 22 years of playing father and son on television. Many people wondered, “Why couldn’t Kim Yong-gun visit the funeral home?” For viewers who knew the history between the two actors, the news may have felt especially unexpected and heartbreaking. To Kim Yong-gun, Choi Bul-am was more than a fellow actor. In the MBC drama The Country Diaries , Choi played Chairman Kim of Yangchon-ri, while Kim Yong-gun played his eldest son, Kim Yong-jin. For many years, they portrayed a father-and-son relationship. The time they shared on screen grew into a deep bond of trust and respect in real life as well. That is why Kim Yong-gun described the late actor as “both a father and a senior colleague.” Even so, Kim Yong-gun was unable to appear at the funeral home in person. The reported circumstances involved family matters ahead of his son Ha Jung-woo’s wedding. Some t...

\n The Serverless Paradox: We Got Rid of Servers—and Latency Appeared Serverless is known as an execution model where you “don’t have to worry about servers.” When there are no requests, compute resources can be scaled down or removed to save costs. When requests arrive, the execution environment can quickly scale up to meet demand. Developers can focus on code and business logic instead of infrastructure. But this efficient model comes with a paradox: Costs go down when there are no requests—but when requests return, users may have to wait. The culprit is the cold start . When Does a Cold Start Happen in Serverless? If a function hasn’t been invoked for a while, the platform removes its execution environment from memory to save costs. When a new request arrives, the platform doesn’t simply run the code—it has to prepare the entire environment needed to execute it. This typically involves: Creating a function execution instance or container Initializ...

\n On the First Day of November, Warmth Matters More Than an Umbrella It may feel like nothing more than autumn rain in the morning. But once daytime temperatures stay in the teens, the season has already reached winter’s doorstep. Today, November 1, skies will be cloudy nationwide with rain, and it will feel noticeably cooler than yesterday. Rain will begin in central regions during the morning, then spread to southern regions and Jeju Island in the afternoon. Around 5 mm is expected in the Seoul metropolitan area and Gangwon Province, with 5–10 mm in the Chungcheong region. Southern regions could see up to 40 mm, while Jeju Island may receive a relatively heavy 10–60 mm, so you may need to adjust your plans. Strong winds may accompany the rain, especially on Jeju Island and along the southern coast. If you’re planning a coastal walk, a boat trip, or air travel, it’s safest to check service updates and weather advisories in advance. At higher elevations in the ...

\n Florida vs. Georgia: A 27–8 Warning in Atlanta In a rivalry game, you usually expect a close contest that’s hard to call until the final moments. But Florida vs. Georgia , played at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium on October 31, 2026, was different. No. 3 Georgia routed No. 17 Florida 27–8, once again proving that the recent gap in this rivalry is no fluke. Georgia’s defense decided the game. The Bulldogs disrupted Florida’s offensive rhythm from the start and forced mistakes with relentless pressure throughout. Florida committed four turnovers, throwing away its own chances to mount a comeback. The defining moment came after Quintavius Johnson’s strip sack. Georgia kept its momentum, and Chris Cole’s touchdown widened the lead, effectively putting the game in the Bulldogs’ hands. It was a textbook example of Georgia’s winning formula: even without an explosive offense, the team can break down an opponent through defense and control of field position. This g...

\n Warning Signs Behind the Stock Market Rally AI optimism and a rebound in major indexes are rapidly lifting investor sentiment. There is no shortage of reasons for optimism: expectations that new technologies will reshape industries, increased investment in semiconductors and data centers, and the emergence of new growth themes such as space and power infrastructure. But by October 2026, the stock market has moved beyond judging companies simply by whether they are “AI-related.” Investors are now asking a more practical question: Is AI investment actually translating into revenue, profits, and cash flow? Stocks Driven by Optimism Alone Are Unlikely to Keep Rising AI companies still have significant growth potential. But whether massive spending on data centers, semiconductor purchases, and research and development can ultimately turn into profits is a separate question. As expectations rise, so does the pressure on companies to prove them with results. ...
