Lee Chun-seok, the president-elect of the Iksan-gap Democratic Party of Korea, threw a ballpoint pen at a discussion on the Iksan campus of Chonbuk National University. However, Lee said on the 25th that it was a protest as a representative of Iksan citizens against universities that unilaterally decided to reduce the number of university campuses located in Iksan. According to Chonbuk National University and Iksan City, Lee met with Jeonbuk National University President Yang Oh-bong and Lee Dong-heon, along with Iksan Mayor Chung Heon-yul, lawmaker Han Byung-do (Iksan-eul), and Jeonbuk Provincial Council member Han Jeong-soo on the 23rd. Lee Dong-hun, the head of the school affairs department, said, "There are no students coming to the Iksan campus due to the school-age population problem. It is difficult to operate as it is," he said, explaining the position of Chonbuk National University, which announced its plan to reduce the number of Iksan campuses. In response, Lee responded, "It makes sense for professors to do so after working harder, restructuring, and making enough effort, but I cannot agree to do so now." Then, the head of the school affairs office Lee said, "Now, that word is blasphemy of the professor." Since then, Lee reportedly said, "I can't be here anymore," threw a ballpoint pen in his hand on the desk, and kicked out the door. Lee said in a phone call with Maekyung. "I shouldn't do that if I were in my personal capacity, but as a representative of Iksan citizens, I made it a minimal indication of what our citizens think from the perspective of Iksan citizens." He said, "It would have been desirable for me to discipline myself as to whether it was right to behave like that as a fourth-term lawmaker," adding, "As a member of the local parliament and as a representative, I was not allowed to sit still in that position, nor was I convinced by Iksan citizens." "I didn't throw the ballpoint pen at the other person or anything," he said. "I woke up and hit the ballpoint pen I was holding on my desk and walked out, and I kicked it out because the door was closed." After Lee left the conference room, Mayor Chung and lawmaker Han also pointed out the lack of communication on the university's part in the process of merging the department, and President Yang reportedly abolished the plan to reduce the number of students, saying, "I'm sorry I couldn't communicate with the local community." Meanwhile, Lee served three terms (18th, 19th, and 20th) in Iksan-gap, Jeollabuk-do, and served as the 34th secretary-general of the National Assembly Secretariat. He was elected in the 22nd National Assembly election and won a fourth term. ※ This service is provided by machine translation tool, NAVER papago.

July 18 (Yonhap) -- A royal tomb in the southwestern provincial city of Iksan is highly likely to be that of King Mu who ruled the ancient Baekje Kingdom in early 7th century researchers said Wednesday after uncovering the tomb after a century The tomb had long been known to be that of the 30th king of the Baekje Kingdom one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea along with Koguryo and Silla Baekje used to rule the midwestern region of Korea from 18 B.C But a controversy erupted in 2016 over the owner of the tomb when Jeonju National Museum announced that its analysis of a tooth from the tomb found that the tooth belonged to a woman aged 20-40 Also among the remains from the tomb was Silla earthenware This photo provided by the Buyeo National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage shows a box of a human bones from a royal tomb in Iksan The debate prompted the Cultural Heritage Administration (CHA) to dig into the tomb in August 2017 in cooperation with the Iksan city government and a local university research institute for the first time since an excavation by the colonial Japan in 1917 to determine whose tomb it is teams from the organizations announced in April that they found a box of human bones inside a burial chamber "We analyzed the human bone from the royal tomb in various methods and found that they belong to a man around the age bracket of 60 years," the Buyeo National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage that conducted the analysis on behalf of the CHA "He is believed to be 161-170.1 centimeters tall and the year of death is estimated at 620 to 659." This photo provided by the Buyeo National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage shows a box of human bones found in a royal tomb in Iksan The institute said the Japanese colonial government appears to have removed not a single piece of the bone from the tomb after excavating it "There were 102 pieces of human bone in the box and chances are high that they are from one body because none of them overlap." There is no historical record showing when King Mu was born But the institute said chances are high the tomb belongs to the king seen from the facts that he was in throne for 41 years from 600 and he is the only Baekje king who possibly died in the 620-659 period The experts said they will conduct more research in the future to determine exactly who was buried in the tomb The Gongsanseong Fortress is situated in the city of Gongju, South Chungcheong. It was built to protect the then-capital city of Baekje when it moved its capital to Ungjin. [YOON SO-YEON] In Gongju, South Chungcheong, is King Muryeong’s tomb, a replica of which can be viewed in a museum, left.

[YOON SO-YEON] Housing prices in the biocluster area across the country are exceeding the regional average. As high-income earners in the high-tech bio industry are in demand for direct employment, a new real estate term called "Vasegwon" has also been created. According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's actual transaction price disclosure system on the 1st, apartments in Doryong-dong, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, were changed to an average of 39.48 million won per pyeong (3.3㎡) in the first quarter of this year. This area is adjacent to Daedeok R&D Special Zone. During the same period, the average actual transaction price of an apartment in Yuseong-gu was 15.79 million won. Specifically, 171㎡ of the exclusive area of Doryong-dong Smart City Complex 2 was signed for sale at 2.5 billion won in early January. This means that it rose 250 million won in about four months after spending the reported price (2.25 billion won) in August last year. House prices have jumped despite the all-round decline in real estate. An official from the pre-sale industry said, "The bio-industry site is always suffering from a shortage of professionals," adding, "The ransom of workers in related industries is expected to rise in the long term, and this phenomenon is likely to be reflected in the price of houses near the bio-cluster." The government is also actively promoting the bio industry. In June last year, the government designated biopharmaceuticals and organoid technologies as state-of-the-art strategic technologies. It is also conducting a public offering process against local governments to designate a national high-tech industrial complex. Doosan Engineering & Construction will present "Iksan Doosan Weave Treasure" in Iksan, Jeollabuk-do. Currently, Jeonbuk has participated in the government's specialized complex contest.
