‘Like a giant Squid Game’: soul searching in South Korea after latest celebrity suicide
Death of actor Kim Sae-ron sparks renewed calls for changes to ease pressure on celebrities who face intense scrutiny from media and fans alike
Raphael Rashid in Seoul and Justin McCurry in Tokyo
On Friday, the South Korean columnist Yang Sung-hee asked a question to which no one appears to have an answer: “When will this ever end? How many more lives must be lost before this tragic cycle is broken?”
Yang’s question, asked in the Korea JoongAng Daily newspaper, is just one of many that has emerged since the actor Kim Sae-ron was found dead in her home in Seoul on Sunday in a case police are treating as suicide. She was 24.
In May 2022, Kim, whose career took off as a child actor with her role in the 2010 hit crime thriller The Man from Nowhere, was charged with drink-driving, after she crashed her vehicle into a tree and an electrical transformer in Seoul.
"Let Us Die Together"A Reporter in Gaza Who Lost His Family
Reporter Wael Al-Dahdouh lost half of his family in the war in Gaza. The entire world was watching as he embraced the dead body of his grandchild. His reaction to the loss brought him fame throughout the Arab world.
TV reporter Wael al-Dahdouh is standing on the roof of a building in Gaza City filing a report for broadcaster Al Jazeera. Sirens are wailing as he says: "It could be a bloody night.” It’s October 25, 2023. The moderator back in the studio in Doha asks Dahdouh, the station’s bureau chief in Gaza, for his thoughts on Israel’s strategy.
Dahdouh, though, says nothing. Ten seconds go by. Voices can be heard in the background. "Wael? Wael?” the moderator says. "I don’t know if you can hear me. We’re live.” Then, the voice of the producer can be heard: "The girl is in the hospital.” The moderator switches back to the studio.

Israeli army to remain in some West Bank refugee camps for 'coming year', says defence minister
The Israeli army is to remain in some of the occupied West Bank’s urban refugee camps “for the coming year", Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said Sunday.
Israel's defense minister said Sunday troops would remain “for the coming year” in parts of the occupied West Bank where Israel has staged a weekslong offensive, as Israel says it was deepening its crackdown on the Palestinian territory.
Israel launched a broad offensive on the northern West Bank on Jan. 21 — two days after the ceasefire that paused the war in Gaza took hold — and then expanded it to include other nearby areas. Israel says it is determined to stamp out militancy in the territory, but Palestinians view such raids as part of an effort to cement Israeli control over the territory, where 3 million Palestinians live under military rule. The raids have been deadly and caused destruction to urban areas and displaced tens of thousands.
Rich in cash, automaker Toyota builds a city to test futuristic mobility
By YURI KAGEYAMA
Woven City near Mount Fuji is where Japanese automaker Toyota plans to test everyday living with robotics, artificial intelligence and autonomous zero-emissions transportation.
Daisuke Toyoda, an executive in charge of the project from the automaker's founding family, stressed it’s not “a smart city.”
“We’re making a test course for mobility so that’s a little bit different. We’re not a real estate developer,” he said Saturday during a tour of the facility in Shizuoka Prefecture, where the first phase of construction was completed.
