\n Milo Yiannopoulos: The Day an Anti-Immigration Warrior Became an ICE Detainee There is a figure who once championed a hard-line approach to immigration enforcement, insisting that “anyone who cannot prove their legal status should be deported immediately.” He even argued that ICE checkpoints should be set up in supermarkets and gas stations. Now, that same person is waiting for his own deportation proceedings inside a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility. The figure at the center of the story is British-born far-right political commentator Milo Yiannopoulos . According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), he legally entered the United States through New York in 2019 but remained in the country beyond the period authorized by his visa. He was later arrested by ICE at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport in Louisiana, and reports indicate that a final order of removal was issued against him for failing to appea...

\n The Day the Exchange Rate Turned Upside Down: What a 100-Won Drop in One Month Tells Us Just a few weeks ago, the won-dollar exchange rate was heading toward the mid-1,500-won range, heightening anxiety in the market. But on August 28, 2026, the won-dollar rate closed at 1,372.5 won in Seoul’s foreign exchange market. That was 8.4 won lower than the previous day and marked its lowest level in roughly 13 months. At first glance, the story appears simple: “The price of the dollar has fallen.” But the exchange rate’s decline—from 1,549.4 won at the end of June to 1,424 won at the end of July, and then to the 1,370-won range by the end of August—is difficult to dismiss as a mere series of daily fluctuations. It looks more like a dramatic reversal in the market’s direction, with the rate moving by more than 170 won in a short period. If fewer won are needed to buy one dollar, it means that the value of the won has strengthened by the same measure. Several fa...

\n Serverless: The Function Is Done, but the Server Doesn’t Disappear Anymore A user asks an AI, “Write this code for me.” A few seconds later, they run the generated code and check the result. But where, exactly, is that code running? With the traditional Serverless model, the answer was relatively simple. When an event occurs, a function runs, and once the task is complete, the execution environment no longer needs to remain active. For tasks that finish in a single request—such as image resizing, webhook processing, or file conversion—this approach is highly efficient. But the story changes when you need to run AI-generated code, let users repeatedly modify and execute code in a browser-based IDE, or have an agent carry forward the context of a previous task into the next one. The execution environment can no longer be merely a “function that is called once and then ends.” It must become a workspace that preserves state and context for a certain period of ti...

\n Goldie Hawn Steps in Front of a Dorm Instead of a Red Carpet The latest news about Goldie Hawn , who once commanded Hollywood’s spotlight, is neither a new film nor a glamorous red-carpet appearance. The moment recently highlighted by U.S. entertainment media was a family goodbye in front of a University of Colorado dorm, as she saw off her grandson, Wilder . Wilder is the first son of Goldie Hawn’s son Oliver Hudson and Erinn Bartlett. Photos shared by his parents as they dropped their college-bound son off at his dorm sparked attention as an ordinary yet deeply touching glimpse into the life of a star family. Once a comedy icon on the screen, Goldie Hawn now feels closer to the public as a “proud grandmother” watching her grandchild embark on a new beginning. This is more than a simple update on her life. Goldie Hawn, remembered for Cactus Flower , Private Benjamin , and Overboard , now stands at the heart of a Hollywood family that includes Kate Hudson, Ol...

\n Optimus Prime: The Day That Voice Fell Silent “ Autobots, roll out! ” With just those words, some people are transported back to Saturday morning cartoons, others to the transformation sequences that once shook movie-theater speakers, and still others to the tension of battlefields inside video games. Peter Cullen, the voice behind them all, passed away at his home in Los Angeles on August 26, 2026. He was 85. There is a clear reason his death, after voicing Optimus Prime for more than 40 years, cannot be reduced to the obituary of just another voice actor. Cullen did not simply lend his voice to a character. He was the person who taught countless fans what Optimus Prime truly meant. Beginning with the original animated series in 1984, his performance bridged generations through live-action films, television series, and video games. From fans who grew up watching the cartoons in the 1980s, to audiences who first encountered Transformers through Michael Bay’...

\n Park Jung-soo’s “How Dare You Marry Jung Kyung-ho” Reveals a Special Family Story Park Jung-soo, charmed by the café’s atmosphere and view, casually joked to the production crew, “Should I get married here?” The response was bolder than expected. When the crew playfully replied, “Would you marry Jung Kyung-ho?” Park Jung-soo immediately shot back: “How dare you marry Jung Kyung-ho?” It was only a short remark, but it sparked a huge reaction. While it may have seemed like a simple variety-show quip meant to draw laughs, it left viewers thinking, “She really does cherish Jung Kyung-ho like her own son.” The scene quickly became a hot topic after being shared on Park Jung-soo’s YouTube channel, “No One Can Stop Jung-soo.” The relationship between Park Jung-soo and Jung Kyung-ho is different from that of ordinary colleagues in the entertainment industry. Since 2001, Park Jung-soo has been in a common-law relationship with Jung Kyung-ho’s father, producer Jun...
