Do not politicize disaster
The rival political parties have come under attack for “politicizing” the Itaewon tragedy which killed 158 Halloween partygoers on Oct. 29. The Yoon Suk-yeol administration has also invited criticism, as no one has taken responsibility for causing what was regarded as a manmade disaster.

Revive growth momentum
The country's economic outlook for next year is bleaker. Last week, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) revised down its 2023 growth projection for South Korea to 1.8 percent from its previous forecast of 2.2 percent. The figure is much lower than this year's expected growth rate of 2.7 percent.
