While customers cut spending on clothing and fashion wear, they were apparently willing to open their wallets when they found prices affordable. Accordingly, a factory outlet operated by E-Land Retail, an affiliate of fashion and retail conglomerate E-Land, saw its operating profit for 2024 triple from a year earlier. The outlet experienced a 470 percent year-on-year increase in customers in their 20s and 30s. The company said it will expand its customers in 2025 to a broader age group, particularly those in their 40s and 50s, to reap more profits. Shinsegae Department Store, a top shopping mall brand in the country, said its factory outlets reached the 100-billion won ($68.35 million) milestone in annual transactions in 2024. The amount increased from 7.5 billion won in the first year of its opening in 2017, with its annual growth rate averaging 38 percent since then. Its success in 2024 can be attributed to the sales of carryover products at discounted prices of 30 percent to 80 percent. “[Factory outlets became] popular as well, as luxurious overseas brands are gathered in one place while prices are not burdensome,” a spokesperson for the department store said. The company is considering opening four new outlets nationwide this year. Yi Whan-woo is a Korea Times journalist primarily covering finance.

Goethe has shown us how much effort a man should make to achieve the strong will in the troubled water of life,” she said “He overcame a variety of hardships in a creative way and turned every crisis into a better chance,” Chon said “Look at the novel titled 'The Sorrows of Young Werther.' Suffering from agonies from impossible love and pains from untouchable relations he merged himself into the sea of literature for four weeks to produce the bitterest and sweetest novel.” The strong will nourished the talented boy to become “a poet considered the greatest German literary figure of the modern era,” as Britannica describes him.“He has grown for himself very well A 'literary man' is a mere piecemeal introduction of the all-rounder human he had been a minister covering four ministries until he passed away meteorologist and left 2,500 pieces of fine art and 146 volumes of literary

achieve them in the right means by following in the footsteps of Goethe touching and experiencing the Weimar period when Goethe was in the turmoil of pain and glory will be much more fruitful than

student world-renowned Goethe researcher and author of 70 books thus far Her mother Kim Han-seop represented the last examples of Joseon-era housewives widely deemed as being “wise to the children and generous to the husbands.” “Taking care of her elders and household events day and night mom educated herself over the shoulders of her husband in the Hangeul and calligraphy,” she recalled her younger years in her hometown “My mom taught us not with words but with action She praised every letter higher than any other thing and never stepped on any letter-printed document explains her favorite readings to Min Young-hye who runs a book club in Daegu which is still the title her colleagues and disciples use to address her She travels to Germany and other countries on business frequently But she thinks her daily routine is much looser and lazier than her mother who passed away 40 years ago.“I am a self-employed slave destined to work three different jobs: gardening the 'orphan trees,' serving every visitor and writing manuscripts,” the senior scholar often says with a wide smile had been found abandoned around the university or beside the streets Whenever and wherever she finds withered plants she tries to transplant them into the garden of the academy.As the garden has been filled with the “orphaned” trees one by one the academy has been built with bricks and tiles one after one over a long period It was started 20 years ago with her simple desire to have a space in which she could read and write books anytime A small shared space in Yeoju has been expanded year after year and is going to flourish into a village.She has no money enough to build the village she is confident of the successful completion of the project as she believes in the words of Goethe which he confessed in his bulky biography: “Desire is the presentment of our inner abilities and the forerunner of our ultimate accomplishments.”The lengthy story about how she has managed to erect the academy in totally unfamiliar circumstances is a fairy tale adroitly plotted by a fortune to tell children that luck follows good boys and girls it is a natural sequence of rewards for a prepared mind She has already begun sharing with others the rich outcome of her strong will to change her community better and has had ardent efforts to back up the will and social trust accumulated

Shigeru Ban Architects’ Haesley Hamlet in Yeoju Korea is a four-building complex that serves as an executive training center and accommodation built next to the Haesley Nine Bridges Golf Club which was completed in 2009 and received an International Architecture Award from The Chicago Athenaeum in 2010 A new recreational facility was built in Yeoju City near Seoul The architecture was designed to harmonize with the surrounding rich and natural setting by using combinations of timber Each building uses a different approach to harmonize with nature while creating a sense of unity using the same natural materials—timber and stone walls—as the Clubhouse The timber structure form of the Grand Hall harmonizes with the Clubhouse while it is composed using only two-dimensional bending in an effort to reduce fabrication.  The columns each house a planter that supports trees and a reflecting pool above ground.  The Learning Center has a bridge-like form that connects undulating terrain and symbolically presents itself within nature.  A large span truss also expressed on the façade supported from two stone-faced cores on either end responded to the spatial requirement for column-free functions such as the large halls and meeting rooms.  The Condominium building followed the narrow undulating sloped site by stepping back each floor’s building volume while each room enjoys the panoramic views.  The hybrid slab which is composed of a series of timber beams and concrete acted directly as the formwork for the concrete and this allowed construction to continue under the floor without having to wait for the concrete to cure which helped to optimize interior construction time.  the second-floor terrace overhanging with a cantilever is supported by a gently curved wall that conforms to the surrounding sloped site so that it is possible to experience the panoramic view overlooking the entire natural landscape of Hamlet and the golf course.  The lighting design aims to highlight each of these textures.  creating a beautiful display of light and shadow across the landscape Project: Haesley HamletArchitects: Shigeru Ban ArchitectsClient: Haesley Nine Bridges Golf

the fog as volunteers and reporters picked their way down a muddy trail to a dog farm just east of Seoul last week.It was the day the farm was being closed down The din dropped as the group entered a small lot overlooking a rice paddy between the trees studying the visitors.There were about 90 dogs at the farm each with its own cage except for the puppy litters Many were born and raised at the farm that was founded 10 years ago The smaller dogs squeezed their heads through the wires apparently looking for a touch from volunteers they recognized Rats scuttled between feces and shredded cardboard looking for stray food pellets.Most of the dogs are now at temporary shelters in Canada This was the 15th dog meat farm closed down by Humane Society International (HSI) a U.S.-based animal rights group that pays farmers in Korea to hand over their dogs for overseas adoption the group has freed and sent abroad 1,900 dogs Over 90 percent of the rescued dogs have been adopted employees and volunteers moved the dogs into plastic “containers” bound for Incheon International Airport some with scars on their legs after being used for illegal dog fighting required more physical exertion than others huskies and even mini pugs ― some being abandoned pets ― were transferred to boxes that had their new names scribbled on the top by a magic marker in English.Halfway through the operation The owner first reached out to HSI after hearing about its program in Korea through a former dog farmer In return for closing down the farm and giving up all the dogs for adoption he will be provided with financial support necessary to settle into a new profession The exact sum agreed in individual contracts is not disclosed but ranges from $2,000 to $60,000 depending on the size of the farm according to HSI.“Dog meat farming is a declining industry now,” the owner told reporters “I'll probably work in the construction sector now.” Dog meat is consumed in about a dozen countries in Asia where the canines are not set apart from other livestock as sources of meat Koreans used to typically consume dog meat soup as so-called “stamina food” on hot days a big tosa dog can fetch up to 300,000 won ($250).However the perception of dogs as livestock has changed over the last few decades Mainstream TV channels broadcast the charm and loyalty of these companion animals regularly Some malls in Seoul now allow shoppers to enter with their pets.Though dog meat is still sought after by some older people the idea of eating dog is sickening for most young Koreans According to a survey by Gallup Korea last year only 13 percent of respondents said they consume or had consumed dog meat.Fueled by this change in attitude and falling demand local animal rights groups had Gupo dog meat market in Busan shut down in July dog farms still number in the thousands in the country a well-known dog trainer who attended last week's rescue operation said she liked the way HSI approached the problem compared to more extreme animal rights groups who storm dog meat farms “I got an invitation from another group six months ago asking me to take part in their rescue operation But I was shocked to see in their promo video how they did everything in this commando style Dog farms are only a tip of the problem for canine rights in the country On the same day HSI carried out its operation some local animal rights groups rescued over a thousand dogs from unsanitary conditions at an overcrowded illegally-run shelter in Gyeonggi Province TV vet and campaigner Marc Abraham has joined forces with world-famous dog trainer Victoria Stilwell in a Human Society International (HSI) rescue operation in Korea Victoria and Marc also joined the HSI team as special guests of the British Ambassador Simon Smith The dogs rescued were living on a dog meat farm in Gyeonggi-do province, which is closing thanks to HSI’s pioneering programme to help dog farmers who want to leave the increasingly controversial industry set up more humane and profitable livelihoods This is the fifteenth dog farm HSI has permanently closed out of thousands supplying live dogs to slaughterhouses and markets for human consumption as fewer and fewer people in the country consume dog meat “It’s been a real privilege to join Humane Society International’s team in South Korea and see their dog meat farm closure program for myself I’ve seen all breeds of dogs here suffering the same kept in filthy cages with no environmental enrichment whatsoever It’s little wonder that they seem so desperate to escape The agreement that HSI reaches with the dog farmer truly is a lifeline for these dogs.” Marc Abraham, who campaigned successfully to introduce Lucy’s Law in the UK “I’m really in awe of the resilience of these beautiful dogs They endure miserable lives in squalid conditions with just the bare minimum to keep them alive and yet so many of them still wag their tails and jump with excitement when shown the slightest bit of affection Any factory farm for dogs is a hellish place be that for the pet trade or the meat trade and HSI’s program is making a massive difference here to pave the way to end this cruel industry for good.” and Jindo mixes Bella and Molly were among the more than 90 dogs destined to be sold to the butcher before the dog farmer – 40-year old Kwon Tae-young – had a change of heart and asked to join HSI’s dog farm closure programme Seven of the rescued dogs will fly to the UK where they will begin their search for loving homes Ex-farmer Kwon Tae-young said he was happy the dogs would go on to have happy lives “I’ve thought about closing my dog farm for a while now for various reasons but never actually did anything about it,” he said “One day I talked to a former dog farmer who had worked with HSI and he recommended I work with the charity to help me leave the dog meat industry When I heard that HSI would help find forever homes for the dogs instead of them being euthanased I thought it would be so much better if they can live their life and not die for meat or live the life of a fighting dog “Dog meat consumption is declining rapidly in South Korea with a survey by Gallup Korea in June 2018 showing that 70 percent of South Koreans say they will not eat dog meat in future A series of recent moves by authorities to curb the dog meat trade reflects how Korean society is increasingly ill at ease with the industry
