It's time for current affairs critic Hyun-Jun Ko's news.
What is the first news today (6th)?
<Hyun-Joon Ko/Presentation Critic>
The first news today was from Brazil. In a large supermarket in Brazil, the shelves collapsed like dominoes and the inside of the mart was messy.
It was the last 2 days local time.
It is a hypermarket in Sao Luis, northern Brazil.
A lot of people were shopping ahead of the weekend, and the large shelves that were full of things started to collapse in turn like dominoes.
The staff and guests were amazed, and they abandoned the cart and evacuated in a hurry.In the midst of the spillage of items on the floor, the evacuated staff and guests returned to the mart and began to rescue the people from the shelves.
And they dug up the rubble, and the rescue team that was reported and dispatched was also rescued overnight and rescued 8 people.
However, a new employee in his twenties who had only joined the mart for three months was found dead.
The mart expressed its deep regret for the news of the death of a new employee and said that it would do its best to compensate for the damage, but on the day after the accident, the marts across Sao Luis were closed as a sign of condolence.
The cause of the accident has not yet been identified, but local police are investigating the exact cause of the accident.

It would be hard for anyone to imagine that a shelf of that size would fall, but I think we need to investigate the exact cause so that this will not happen again.
What about the next news?

This is the next news.
There may be a hit-and-run charge for a driver who caused a traffic accident while changing lanes and then left without handling it, but the court found it innocent.
Let's take a look at that.
The Seoul Central District Court convicted A, a woman in her 50s who was handed over to trial for violating the Road Traffic Law.
A was forced to change lanes at a crossroad in Seocho-gu, Seoul in 2018, and crashed into two vehicles.
In this accident, drivers of the victims were injured for two weeks each, but Mr. A left the site without taking any action.
It stopped only after the victims followed and stopped the vehicle. Then, when the police dispatched to the scene called for an investigation, they asked, "What accident happened?"
As a result of the investigation, it was revealed that Mr. A's husband had noticed the symptoms of Mr. A's loss of consciousness from around 2016 and recommended hospital treatment.
In October of last year after the accident, I was diagnosed with epilepsy.
In addition to seizures and convulsions, epilepsy can cause short-term memory impairment.
The judge found that Mr. A had lost consciousness due to epilepsy at the time of the accident, and found the hit-and-run charges innocent.

Only the hit-and-run charges were innocent, and he was responsible for the rest of the case.
Anyway, I'm glad it wasn't a big accident.
What about the next news?

Today we will deliver the last news.
Recently, accidents related to electric vehicle battery failure have increased the burden on consumers.
It is said that among drivers, there is even a ridiculous story about electric cars being more careful than foreign cars.
On the 26th of last month, an electric car that was charging in a parking lot in an apartment in Jeju caught fire.
Fortunately, there was no damage to people, but more than 20 million won was incurred. Many people are worried about an electric car fire in Daegu on the 4th.
The automaker's position is to compensate if it is found to be a product defect, but electric car owners appeal that if it is not found to be a product defect, the car owner has to bear huge repair costs.
Experts say that even if it is not a fire accident, if the battery, which is a key component of an electric vehicle, breaks down, repair costs of tens of millions of won can be incurred.
Electric vehicles cost about 50,000 won to fully charge, so maintenance costs are less than that of regular vehicles, but even minor breakdowns cost the same as the price of a car.
Experts advised that clear maintenance instructions should be made so that the manual should state how to deal with problems with batteries etc.
