  Title: President Park visits quake-hit Gyeongju, Wolseong nuke reactor
  
  We begin this Tuesday evening with President Park Geun-hye's visit to the southeastern city of Gyeongju earlier this afternoon.
  Gyeongju was hit by two earthquakes just a week ago... and rattled by another powerful aftershock around time, last night.
  The South Korean leader hinted at designating the city a special disaster zone, which would entitle it to greater relief and aid.
  Our presidential office correspondent Song Ji-sun has our top story tonight.
  Visiting the quake-stricken city, which has seen continuous aftershocks, President Park offered words of comfort to the Gyeongju residents and vowed the government's full support and recovery measures for the region.
  The president ordered officials to consider designating the city as a special disaster zone... which would make it eligible for special government relief and financial aid.

  "We will consider designating Gyeongju a special disaster area.
  We will provide all the necessary support for your recovery, so you can get back on your feet and find stablility."
  
  
  
  Park also visited the nearby Wolseong nuclear power plant, calling for thorough safety checks and disaster-prevention measures.
  She said the countermeasures must be prepared from scratch... with the mindset that we are not safe from earthquakes and that more quakes can follow.
  
  
  
  "President Park ordered officials to devise field manuals for various emergencies including earthquakes,... so the public can know what to do when disaster strikes."

  Title: Gov't to expand earthquake-proof design requirements
  
  Unlike neighboring Japan, Korea has never been known for its seismic activity.
  But after a series of earthquakes and aftershocks of considerable size striking the nation's southeast in recent days , the Korean government is now rolling up its sleeves to ensure the safety of its people from future seismic activities.
  Our Hwang Hojun with the details.
  Three strong tremors and nearly 400 aftershocks, all within a week,... and all practically in the same neighborhood.
  The unprecedented seismic events have the government doing away with the widely-held notion that Korea is virtually earthquake-free.
  
  The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said in a press release that it will seek to revise and reinforce the current earthquake-related building codes as a precaution against future quakes; the regulations were last revised in 1988.
  
  
  
  "We've decided to further expand the regulations to include low-rise structures, which, according to experts, are also vulnerable to earthquakes.
  We believe the revision will do a great deal to minimize our earthquake vulnerabilities."
  
  Currently, only buildings three stories or higher are required to be earthquake-resistant.
  
  But when the revision takes effect next year, all new multi-story building will have to be earthquake-resistant.
  
  Buildings with more than 16 floors will have to publicly certify their earthquake-resistant designs and submit the certification to the government.
  
  Highrises of fifty stories and taller will be subject to additional safety evaluations, including the potential effect the skyscrapers may have on their surrounding areas.
  
  For buildings that currently lack earthquake-proof designs, the government said it will provide incentives to landlords who include seismic retrofitting when rebuilding or renovating.

  Title: Concerns rise as 4.5 magnitude tremor hits southeast Korea
  
  Monday night's seismic tremor of magnitude 4.5 was felt all across North Gyeongsang-do Province.
  This has raised some public concern that more may be on the way. A key question is whether the latest tremor was an aftershock... or a separate earthquake.
  Kim Hyesung has more.
  A week after a 5.8-magnitude earthquake struck Korea's southeastern city of Gyeongju, the area was hit Monday evening by another tremor, this time magnitude 4-point-5.
  Last week's quake was the most powerful to hit Korea since records began in 1978, and it was followed by more than 380 aftershocks.
  
  The strength of the tremor Monday evening has many Koreans worried it was an not an aftershock but another earthquake in its own right.
  Most experts, however, say that's not the case.
  
  -
  "Yesterday's tremor happened close to last week's 5.8 magnitude earthquake -- only three kilometers to the south. And it had a magitude of 4.5 -- one magnitude smaller. This indicates that it was an aftershock."
  
  While Korea hasn't seen a truly destructive earthquake in the last several decades, some experts say a quake stronger than 6.5 could take place, given records from the Joseon Dynasty that seem to indicate a powerful quake of magnitude 7-point-oh in the 15th century.
  But whether the latest tremor was a quake or an aftershock largely depends on whether it occured on the same fault line.
  
  -
  "For the quake to be an aftershock, it needs to happen in the same fault zone. If yesterday's earthquake happened in a different fault zone, even one nearby, it could mean a 4.5 magnitude earthquake,... and not an aftershock from the earlier quake."
  
  While more investigation is needed to determine whether Monday evening's tremor was an earthquake or an aftershock, most experts agree that more, smaller aftershocks could happen in the next two to three weeks, which means countermeasures are necessary.

  Title: N. Korea's rocket engine test could be rehearsal for long-range missile test next month: Experts
  
  North Korea appears to be preparing for yet another provocation,... this time a long-range missile launch.
  The regime's state-run media claims a new rocket engine has successfully been tested.
  Connie Kim is our correspondent in charge of North Korean affairs and she says... many view it as a prelude to more missile launches.
  
  As if North Korea's recent nuclear test was not bold enough, the regime now claims to have carried out a successful ground test of a new rocket engine.
  The North's state-run Korean Central News Agency said Tuesday that leader Kim Jong-un guided the test of a rocket engine for a new geo-stationary satellite at the Sohae Space Center in the west of the country.
  It's Kim's first military-related activity since he oversaw Pyongyang's fifth nuclear test earlier this month.
  The young leader has identified space development as one of the regime's most pressing tasks and says the North must develop various types of satellites to become a "possessor of geo-stationary satellites" in a couple of years.
  The North has insisted its satellite launches are for peaceful purposes, but they are widely viewed by the international community as cover for ballistic missile tests.
  
  An official from South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said the North is believed to have tested a new high-powered engine in preparation for a long-range ballistic missile launch.
  North Korea observers in South Korea agree.
  They see the test as a follow-up measure after the North launched a long-range missile in February,... indicating the North could test the missile soon.
  
  
  
  "The rocket engine test from North Korea shows that the regime could launch an intercontinental ballistic missile sometime around the October 10th anniversary of the founding of the ruling Workers' Party or the upcoming U.S. presidential election in November."
  
  
  
  "Military experts also say it would take the North hundreds more engine tests before it could successfully launch a geo-stationary satellite. But the fact that Kim Jong-un tested the new engine so suddenly shows the North wants to raise the pressure on Seoul and Washington.
  Connie Kim, Arirang News."
  
  Title: U.S. could deploy B-2 stealth bomber to S. Korea this week: Military sources
  
  Washington reportedly plans to dispatch a B-2 stealth bomber from Guam as a further warning to Pyongyang to stop its provocative acts.
  Kim Hyun-bin fills us in on the follow up to last week's B-1B bombers appearance in the peninsula.
  The U.S. could deploy a B-2 stealth bomber for the first time to South Korea as early as Tuesday... as a show of force to North Korea in response to the regime's latest nuclear test.
  Military sources say the U.S. is looking into the possibility of a flyover of the bomber at Osan Air Base just south of Seoul, which would mark the first time a B-2 stealth bomber has flown over the peninsula.
  Washington has previously dispatched B-52 and B-1B bombers to South Korea -- after the North's fourth and fifth nuclear tests respectively.
  The B-2 poses the greatest threat to the North Korean leadership as it has full stealth capabilities and can bomb enemy targets virtually undetected.
  The B-2 has an airborne range of up to 11-thousand kilometers and can carry 18 metric tons of explosives. That puts Pyongyang within range of a single round-trip mission from Guam.
  The bombers are also equipped with bunker-buster bombs that could demolish enemy facilities underground.
  Washington also plans to send a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, the USS Ronald Reagan, to the peninsula early next month for a joint naval exercise with South Korea.

  Title: China cooperates with U.S. against Chinese firm suspected of aiding N. Korea
  
  China,... which is widely seen as the key player in tightening the screws on North Korea,... is showing cooperation with the U.S.,... by investigating a Chinese company that is suspected of aiding North Korea's weapons program.
  A South Korea-U.S. joint study says that's why a secondary boycott could be more important than ever in making sanctions more effective.
  Kwon Soa reports.
  
  The U.S. and China are reportedly working together to delve into a Chinese conglomerate that's suspected of helping North Korea's nuclear weapons program... by ignoring the heavy international sanctions currently imposed on the regime.
  According to the Wall Street Journal,... Chinese police recently launched an investigation into the finances of Hongxiang Group.
  The report says this marks the "most serious effort so far to pursue Chinese companies thought to be helping Kim Jong-un's regime."
  China's foreign ministry says the efforts made by Beijing "can be seen by everyone."
  
  
  
  "We have always abided by and carried out the United Nations Security Council resolution 2270 seriously, Regarding the company that you asked about, China's relevant departments are investigating the financial crimes and other unlawful acts of the company in accordance with the law."
  
  South Korea's foreign ministry says it's closely monitoring the case.
  
  
  
  "The government is continuing and strengthening its strategic communication and cooperation with China on all levels, so that it can play a constructive role in the international community's pressure on North Korea.
  
  A South Korea-U.S. joint study that analyzed the supply chains that make Pyongyang's development of nuclear and missile programs possible,... says over 500 million U.S. dollars of trade were associated with a manufacturing firm within Hongxiang Group near the China-North Korea border in Liaoning Province.
  The study says disrupting North Korea's dependence on overseas networks is key to deterring Pyongyang's nuclear program,... suggesting that imposing secondary sanctions on Chinese firms that trade with the North... would make existing sanctions more effective.
  
  
  
  "It remains to be seen... whether China's latest move against North Korea is indicative of a stronger will to fully implement sanctions... and whether that will also produce a stronger UN Security Council resolution.
  Kwon Soa, Arirang News."
  
  Title: At least 40 N. Korean overseas workers die amid harsh working conditions
  
  Scores of North Korean overseas workers have reportedly died this year alone -- either in suicides or industrial accidents.
  This comes amid the regime's growing dependence on its workers to send back foreign currency.
  Kim Min-ji reports.
  At least 40 North Koreans working overseas have died this year in work-related accidents or in suicides.
  Yonhap News Agency cites sources familiar with the matter who said,... North Korean workers dispatched overseas toil for long hours... and lack safety gear,... resulting in a rise in industrial accidents.
  Workers are also subject to inhumane treatment and exploitation in terms of pay -- which has led some to take their own lives.
  Thirteen people have died in Russia alone -- some reportedly falling from construction sites... and others said to have commited suicide due to their dire working conditions.
  Some 20 others in Angola died of yellow fever,... having not been vaccinated against the disease.
  
  This comes as North Korea ramps up pressure on its workers to send back foreign currency -- which is seen as crucial for the North's nuclear weapons development.
  International sanctions imposed on the regime in light of Pyongyang's provocations have taken a toll on its foreign earnings.
  From the second quarter of this year,... North Korean workers were required to pay 30 dollars every three months -- a change from the past when financial contributions were made on a voluntary basis.
  
  The Yonhap sources estimated that some 58-thousand North Koreans are working in some 40 countries.
  Presuming that all of them make 1-thousand U.S. dollars a month,... their total yearly earnings would amount to 690-million dollars. And if 80 percent of that is sent to the regime,... North Korea is estimated to bring in roughly 550-million dollars every year in foreign cash.
  
  In response to the issue,... South Korea's foreign ministry spokesman noted that North Korean overseas laborers are working in dire conditions,... saying it's a source of international concern.
  He added that the South Korean government will seek measures to respond to the issue along with the international community.

  Title: Lawmakers grill gov't officials during parliamentary Q&A
  
  Over at the National Assembly... a four-day interpellation session got underway today.
  Several high-level government officials facing questions on domestic political issues.
  Our parliamentary correspondent Park Jiwon has the latest.
  Around a dozen lawmakers from Korea's three main political parties grilled high-profile government officials at parliament on Tuesday.
  The list of officials in the hot seat included Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn, as well as the ministers of justice, public safety and the interior.
  Lawmakers focused their attention on the government's approach to addressing the nuclear and missile threats from North Korea.
  The controversy surrounding the U.S. missile defense system THAAD was also a key topic.
  
  
  
  "Some politicians argue that North Korea would not have conducted nuclear tests... if the Sunshine policy had continued and the decision to deploy THAAD hadn't been made. But even in 2006, when the Sunshine policy was in place and there was no mention of THAAD, North Korea conducted a nuclear test."
  
  
  
  "North Korea has long continued its reckless development of nuclear weapons. The THAAD deployment is an inevitable decision by the government to protect the people from the North."
  
  On another front, opposition lawmakers urged the government to set up a new body to investigate corruption cases involving high-profile officials, drawing the objections of the prime minister.
  
  
  
  "It's now been over ten years since we started discussing setting up the investigative body. We can no longer rely on the prosecution to reform itself."
  
  
  
  "We know prosecutors are having problems with self-reform. But we currently have a special prosecutors' system, and I think we should use it, instead of creating a new investigative body."
  
  Lawmakers also touched on a range of other issues,... including a proposal to revise the Constitution... and the government's crisis management capability... amid the recent earthquakes that jolted the southeastern part of the country.
  
  
  
  "The next session on Wednesday will focus on national security and foreign affairs,... while the economy will be the main topic on Thursday... and educational and social issues will top the agenda on Friday.
  Park Ji-won, Arirang News."
  
  Title: Lotte Chairman Shin Dong-bin summoned in corruption probe
  
  Shifting focus to the crisis in Lotte Group.
  It was the chairman of Korea's fifth largest business group to be summoned by prosecutors today.
  Our Shin Se-min has more on the prosecution's questioning of Shin Dong-bin, the most senior executive to face interrogation as part of a sweeping criminal probe into the conglomerate.
  
  The head of Korea's fifth-largest conglomerate, Lotte Group, appeared before prosecutors Tuesday morning for questioning in a widening investigation into corruption at Lotte.
  He's the first chairman to have been subjected to questioning by the prosecution in Lotte's history.
  Shin is suspected in a litany of alleged misdeeds -- shady deals made in M&As,… selling the assets below market prices, embezzlement and breach of trust.
  Standing before a flock of reporters, Shin declined to comment on the allegations.
  
  
  
  "I apologize for all the concern I have caused. I will sincerely cooperate with the prosecution's investigation."
  
  
  
  Prosecutors are investigating whether Shin accepted nearly 8-point-9 million U.S. dollars in unearned yearly stipends.
  They will also look into his alleged involvement in slush funds worth over 26-million dollars... siphoned off the group's construction arm over the past 10 years.
  
  Prosecutors have questioned other Lotte Group executives suspected of involvement in the massive corruption scandal.
  
  Earlier this month, Lotte's elderly founder Shin Kyuk-ho and his older brother Shin Dong-joo were questioned.
  The widening probe has also extended to the founder's common-law wife, Seo Mi-kyung, who lives in Japan and has so far not cooperated.
  The prosecution, working with other agencies, has seized all her property, charged her with additional tax, and canceled her passport.
  Seo is believed to own five properties in Korea worth roughly 94-million dollars.

  Title: Households bombarded with high electricity bills due to exceptionally hot summer
  
  The autumn breeze has certainly brought relief to the record breaking heatwave that gripped the nation this summer. August in particular saw suffocating weather conditions that forced Koreans to turn on the air conditioning.
  Those days might be over, but seems like the aftermath of last summer is far from over, as the dreaded electricity bills from last month have arrived. And according to data, nearly 3 million households saw their bills soar to twice as much as pre-summer months.
  Lee Minyoung reports.
  Following a steamy summer that saw record-breaking temperatures that forced the entire nation to turn on air conditioning systems, a large number of Korean households are now facing astronomical electricity bills.
  
  According to data the Korean Electric Power Corporation submitted to Saenuri Party lawmaker. Lee Chul-woo on Tuesday,...nearly 3-million households have experienced more than a two-fold increase in their electricity bills from June to August this year.
  
  The data suggest that among those, about 240-thousand households had to pay almost five times the normal rate....and some 20-thousand even had to face staggering bills that rose up to more than eleven-fold compared to what they had to pay in June.
  
  Most of them, roughly 2-million households, saw a two to threefold increase in their bills.
  
  This comes despite the government's implementation of a temporary rate cut to alleviate energy charges which applies to billings between July and September this year.
  Although the government's plan is estimated to have cut about 20 percent of electricity bill rates of average households, there are growing calls that reforms should be made in the current billing system.
  
  
  
  "Authorities should place their utmost priority on maintaining the people's quality of life and that should be reflected on their policies. It's harsh to have citizens, especially those who are vulnerable to excessive heat like young children and the elderly, refrain from turning on the air conditioning in fear of high electricity costs."
  
  Lee vowed to review the underlying problems of the nation's current progressive electricity billing system and map out reform measures during a forthcoming parliamentary audit slated to start on September 26.

  Title: Record breaking LPGA winner Chun In-gee returns home
  
  Chun In-gee... returned home to Korea after winning the final major of the LPGA season.
  Our Lee Un-shin met her as the 22-year-old golfing sensation came to a hero's welcome. She explains how she upped the ante for herself and the competition.
  Korea's newest LPGA champion arrived at Incheon International Airport on Tuesday to a warm homecoming.
  After a record-breaking victory at the Evian Championship in France,... Chun In-gee greeted her fans and talked about her experience.
  
  
  
  
  
  "The victory has now just started to sink in, now that I've been welcomed and congratulated by so many. I feel so grateful."
  
  On Sunday, Chun claimed the title at the LPGA's last major of the year with a record of 21-under-par 263. It was the lowest under par scored at any major -- men's or women's.
  Despite the weather in France, Chun stayed focused and was truly matchless throughout,... cruising to a 4-shot victory over two of her countrywomen who tied for second.
  Chun's latest win marks a turnaround.
  At this year's Olympics in Rio, the 22-year-old had a promising start but failed to medal. And she missed three tournaments this season due to an injury.
  Chun says, however, that she was inspired by her teammates and that the Olympics experience only made her stronger.
  
  
  
  
  
  "I felt crushed after the Olympics. But I definitely learned a lot from watching Park In-bee's performance up-close. I had faith in myself, so shortly after, I decided to turn my own disappointment into positive energy so that I can do better at future events."
  
  
  
  
  
  "It's one competition after another for the busy champion...she can't get too comfortable in her home country. After just a few days of downtime, Chun will head to Japan for the Women's Open Championship...scheduled to start next Thursday.
  Lee Un-shin, Arirang News."
  
  Title: 2016 K-Ballet World kicks off on Tuesday, inviting numerous dance companies from in and out of the country
  
  The 2016 K-Ballet World kicked off in Korea on Tuesday, with the participation of numerous dance companies from in and out of the country.
  The festival runs for 5 days, and it provides dancers with not only the opportunity to perform and display their graceful dancing prowess, but also the chance to network with others in the industry.
  Lee Ji-won has more.
  Gracefully and majestically, three dancers move on the stage in synch with the music echoing across the theater.
  Based and choreographed from the novel 'Anna Karenina' by Tolstoy, the dancers of the Latvian National Opera and Ballet convey the emotions of their characters using their whole bodies, ... an aspect of their performance that has gained rave reviews.
  
  
  
  "This is part of a fight of Anna's leaving from home with Vronsky. It's chosen because it's very emotional and it shows the best of the Boris Elfman's choreography, it has a lot of flips. "
  
  This is Anna Karenina Trio, one of the opening performances of the 2016 K-Ballet World festival which kicked off on Tuesday.
  Organized by the Korea Ballet Association since 2006, the K-Ballet World invites ballerinas and ballerinos from in and out of Korea every year to take part in a five-day festival that offers them a platform to network and share their performances.
  This year, four international teams, including Berlin Staatsballett and Kazakhstan Astana National Ballet have been invited along with numerous teams from Korea.
  
  
  
  "It's very interesting and very nice because I guess many people who have no time to travel get to have the chance to see different kinds of people dancing, different theatres, different choreographies,... and they have chance to see it here.
  
  One of the Korean teams is the Kim Yong-geol Dance Theater.
  As the only Korean team in the Gala Performance, artistic director Kim Yong-geol says he and his company strived to highlight the best of Korean ballet.
  
  
  
  "Through festivals like the K-Ballet World, dancers and choreographers can share their works and understanding of ballet. And through such exchanges I hope Korean ballet can grow further."
  
  With seminars and stages also held for new choreographers, the festival hopes to nurture young and promising dancers in the country as well as showcase ballet performances from around the world to the Korean audience. Lee Ji-won, Arirang News.

  Title: Korea employs innovative solutions to tackle fine dust
  
  Armed with science and technology, the Korean government is tackling the country's fine and ultra fine dust problem as one of nine national research and development projects through the year 2023.
  The goal is to rid the air of the dust particles that not only spur global warming, but also pose significant dangers to human health. Our Oh Sooyoung has more on tackling fine dust: Korea's new growth engine.
  
  Invisible specks of dust smaller than grains of pollen fog up the sky and pollute the air we breathe.
  Fine and ultra fine dust particles are so minute that they can also penetrate and clog the lungs, causing respiratory problems like asthma or even cancer.
  In Korea, the concentration of fine dust particles has remained persistently high compared to other developed countries,... at 29 micrograms per cubic meter,... or double the OECD average.
  But now, the Korean government is aiming to cut that figure in half within seven years.
  It's one of nine national projects launched last month to boost future industries and the quality of life for all citizens.
  
  
  
  "In the past, studies on fine dust were conducted separately by different ministries and research groups. This time, the government is taking a comprehensive approach using science and technology."
  
  The first task at hand is identifying emission points and quantifying how much they each produce to compile a solid database.
  
  
  
  "Unlike primary particulates that are emitted in dust form, it's hard to track down where secondary dust comes from, as it's formed by nitrogen oxide and sulfur oxide floating in the air. If we identify these points, it can help us set goals and create effective policies."
  
  Building on that roadmap, researchers will work to optimize the core technologies and integrate them with artificial intelligence to measure and predict fine dust levels.
  Developments are already underway.
  
  
  
  "With the growing interest in small pollutant particles, our carbon-tracing technology was jointly developed by the science and environment ministries."
  
  One research team has come up with a way to trace black carbon, a component of fine dust.
  
  
  
  "Less than point-one micrometer in size, black carbon can cause health problems when inhaled. And because of its color, it absorbs solar light, which warms the air and contributes to global warming."
  
  Laser beams are shot into a box where light-absorbing particles like black carbon are flown into an interferometer.
  As the interferometer heats, it produces a higher voltage signal.
  The change in voltage indicates the amount of black carbon particles present.
  
  
  
  "Previous devices used filters to sample aerosols, but we removed the filter and used a laser-based interferometer, increasing the accuracy. Our device traces the small amounts that conventional fine dust detectors can't pick up, paving the way for future detection technologies."
  
  Another core focus is developing cost-efficient technology for removing dust particles and pollutants like nitrogen oxide and sulfur oxide .
  This engineering company develops dust collection systems to improve air quality.
  
  
  
  "We have plenty of core technologies that could be worked on as potential solutions for the government initiative. We just need the right policies and the resolve to push it through."
  
  With one system, particles as small as point-one micrometer can be captured through electrostatic attraction when they're charged at a high voltage.
  The company has also developed a fabric filter that can remove the harmful dust in flue gas from large facilities.
  
  
  
  "We're working with manufacturing plants, steel producers and other processors to figure out how we can improve and optimize the technologies for each field."
  
  The government aims to have fine dust removal technologies like these up and running in three years' time.
  
  
  
  "By 2023, the government aims to expand the use of fine dust data and technology to help create services and gadgets that will improve every day life in Korea."
  
  The impact of these developments is also expected to reach beyond Korea's borders, as fine dust control is expected to be one of the leading industries of the future.
  
  
  
  "We could help control the levels of air pollution in China through information sharing. And as areas like AI are in the early stages of development, other countries facing regional air pollution issues could benefit from our progress and solutions, across Asia and even in Europe."
  
  By developing innovative solutions based on state-of-the-art technology, Korean researchers are aiming to clear the air, not just in Korea but in other countries.

  Title: Clear and crisp autumn weather expected for Wednesday
  
  It was a crisp autumn day with blue skies here in Korea, but it's getting chillier in the mornings and evenings. With more, here is Lee Jee-hyun at the weather center.
  
  Hi Conn-young. Yes, it's important to dress in layers these days.
  
  In fact, a cooler morning expected for Wednesday in Cheolwon, Gangwon-do Province, with the low dipping into single digits. But we warm up in the afternoon as the highs spike into the mid-twenties, so please dress accordingly.
  
  Health experts say these large gaps between the lows and highs can easily weaken the immune system. Eating healthy -- that means lots of fresh fresh fruits and vegetables -- can strengthen your immune system. It's also important to drink plenty of water. If you need to take a nap, 20 to 30 minutes before 3PM is recommended to avoid a sleep deficit or poor quality sleep at night.
  
  Now, back to the forecast, other than the big temperature gaps, Wednesday is expected to be as pleasant as today... with more clouds moving in as the day goes on. Good air quality expected across the nation, so it's going to be a fine day to spend some time outdoors. And now let's take a closer look at the readings for tomorrow.
  
  The daily low in Seoul and Gwangju will start out at 14 degrees Celsius, while Daejeon will have a low of 13 degrees.
  
  For the highs,
  Seoul will reach 26, while Daejeon, Daegu and Busan will rise to 24.
  That's it for Korea... and here's look at weather conditions around the world.
