South Korea raises health concerns over bizarre 'eating toothpicks' trend, Food & Drug Ministry warns

South Korea's latest trend involves deep-frying toothpicks, resembling curly fries. Health warning issued against consuming starch-based toothpicks by authorities.

South Korea has once again captured global attention with its latest bizarre trend where social media users are seen deep-frying and eating toothpicks.
In the videos, people are deep frying toothpicks until they puff up and curl, resembling curly fries. The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety in South Korea has issued a warning stating that these starch-based toothpicks are not meant for consumption and people should refrain from eating them. The Ministry added that while the toothpicks, which are made from corn or sweet potato starch and dyed with food colouring, are environmentally friendly and biodegradable, it is unclear if they are safe to consume.
The New York Post reports that the trend seems to draw inspiration from "Mukbang" videos, where hosts eat copious amounts of food on camera. However, unlike typical foods, these toothpicks are crafted from corn or sweet potato starch and colored green with food dye.
According to The New York Post report, health officials are worried that this trend might indicate symptoms of pica, a condition marked by consuming non-food items. They advise the public against joining in, emphasizing that these toothpicks are meant to be biodegradable and dissolve in water, not for consumption.

South Korean actor Park Min Young is facing massive backlash after reports emerged that she received funds from her ex during their relationship and lied about the same.&nbsp;

Queen of Rom-coms, Park Min Young has found herself amid big controversy. According to a report released by &lsquo;Dispatch&rsquo;, the South Korean actor received a huge sum of money from her controversial ex-boyfriend, Kang Jong Hyun. The actor is accused of receiving about $190,000 USD while dating her ex and then lying about the same. &nbsp;
The &lsquo;Dispatch&rsquo; report suggests that the money was transferred to the actors&rsquo; personal account through a 3-step process. The actor who had claimed that she was not aware of the wrongdoings of her ex, was quizzed in February 2023. The authorities had questioned her about the utilization of her account by her ex. &nbsp;
Park Min Young's agency Responds
Responding to the controversy, &lsquo;What&rsquo;s Wrong With Secretary Kim&rsquo; actors&rsquo; agency released a statement, denying any wrongdoing. The actor has denied receiving any kind of funds from her ex. Her agency said, &ldquo;The 250 million won mentioned in the article is only in Park Min Young&rsquo;s account used by Kang Jong Hyun and was not used for her living expenses.&rdquo; The agency further said, "Park Min-young has been refuting these rumors for more than a year and has been widely misunderstood. She has faced criticism, expressed regret, and reflected on the situation. As an actress, the only thing she can do is show good acting through her works. We hope that there will be no more unfounded suspicions that can damage Park's reputation."
Backlash to 'Marry My Husband'
The controversy has affected her ongoing K-drama &lsquo;Marry My Husband&rsquo; after the massive online criticism. While the actor is receiving support from her loyal fanbase in Korea and across the globe, there are many who are criticising her. A section of Netizens called for the boycott of Park Min Young&rsquo;s show.&nbsp;

Halloween stampede in Seoul: 149 dead, at least 150 injured

Halloween stampede in Seoul: 146 dead, at least 150 injured

Multiple footages from the scene showed ambulances lined up in streets amid a heavy police presence moving the injured in stretchers.

A mass of mostly young people celebrating Halloween festivities in Seoul became trapped and crushed as the crowd surged into a narrow alley, killing at least 149 people and injuring 150 others in South Korea's worst disaster in years.
Emergency workers and pedestrians desperately performed CPR on people lying in the streets after the crush in the capital's leisure district of Itaewon Saturday night.
Choi Seong-beom, chief of Seoul's Yongsan fire department, said the death toll could rise further and that an unspecified number among the injured were in critical condition.
An estimated 100,000 people had gathered in Itaewon for the country's biggest outdoor Halloween festivities since the pandemic began.
The South Korean government eased COVID-19 restrictions in recent months. Itaewon, near where the former headquarters of U.S. military forces in South Korea operated before moving out of the capital in 2018, is known for its trendy bars, clubs and restaurants.
It was not immediately clear what led the crowd to surge into the narrow downhill alley near the Hamilton Hotel, a major party spot in Seoul. One survivor said many people fell and toppled one another &ldquo;like dominos&rdquo; after they were being pushed by others.
The survivor, surnamed Kim, said they were trapped for about an hour and a half before being rescued, as some people shouted &ldquo;Help me!&rdquo; and others were short of breath, according to the Seoul-based Hankyoreh newspaper.
Another survivor, named Lee Chang-kyu, said he saw about five to six men first pushed others before one or two began falling at the start of the stampede, according to the newspaper.
In an interview with news channel YTN, Hwang Min-hyeok, a visitor to Itaewon, said it was shocking to see rows of bodies near the hotel.
He said emergency workers were initially overwhelmed, leaving pedestrians struggling to administer CPR to the injured lying on the streets. People wailed beside the bodies of their friends, he said.
Another survivor in his 20s said he avoided being trampled by managing to get into a bar whose door was open at the alley, Yonhap news agency reported.

A woman in her 20s surnamed Park told Yonhap that she and others were standing along the side of the alley while others caught in the middle of the alley had no escape.
Choi, the fire department chief, said that bodies were being sent to hospitals or a gym, where bereaved family members could identify them. He said most of the dead and injured are in their 20s.
The last South Korean disaster this deadly also hit young people the hardest.
In April 2014, 304 people, mostly high school students, died in a ferry sinking.
The sinking exposed lax safety rules and regulatory failures; it was partially blamed on excessive and poorly fastened cargo and a crew poorly trained for emergency situations.
Saturday's deaths will likely draw public scrutiny of what government officials have done to improve public safety standards since the ferry disaster.
It was also Asia's second major crushing disaster in a month.
On Oct. 1, police in Indonesia fired tear gas at a soccer match, causing a crush that killed 132 people as spectators attempted to flee.
More than 800 emergency workers and police officers from around the nation, including all available personnel in Seoul, were deployed to the streets to treat the injured.
The National Fire Agency separately said in a statement that officials were still trying to determine the exact number of emergency patients.
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol issued a statement calling for officials to ensure swift treatment for those injured and review the safety of the festivity sites.
This was the deadliest crushing disaster in South Korean history. In 2005, 11 people were killed and around 60 others were injured at a pop concert in the southern city of Sangju.

Why only PUBG Mobile was banned--and not on PCs, consoles?

Some of you must be thinking: is PUBG Mobile a Chinese app? And if the popular battle royale was banned on mobile, why not on PCs and consoles?&nbsp;
 Well, aside from the simple fact that only mobile apps and games have been banned by the government until now, the PlayerUnknown&rsquo;s Battlegrounds for PC and consoles don&rsquo;t really have a Chinese connection. It was originally created by an Irish video game designer and was eventually developed for PCs and consoles after being acquired by South-Korean gaming studio Bluehole.
 But the mobile adaptation was created by Tencent Games, a Chinese umbrella company of Tencent Holdings. It is the second-biggest shareholder at Bluehole and has 11.5 per cent stake in the South Korean company.
 Will Chinese games on PCs and consoles be the government's next target? Even if that&rsquo;s the case, you should be safe switching to PC, Xbox, Playstation.
