[News Story] Drug or Medicine? The Two Faces of Cannabis / SBS
Following cannabis cases involving children of wealthy and powerful families, actor Yoo Ah-in has also become embroiled in controversy. Thailand, parts of the United States, and Canada have eased cannabis restrictions. Recently, cannabis has even gained attention as a high-value business supplying pharmaceutical ingredients. Could this be why cannabis controversies and smuggling from abroad are increasing? Its risks are easy to overlook, but experts warn that cannabis can serve as a gateway to addiction to drugs such as methamphetamine and cocaine. This week's News Story investigates cannabis's dual roles as a drug and a medicine.

Please Interview the Public Service Worker Who Finished Six Months of Work in One Day
About a year and a half ago, a public service worker demonstrated such astonishing efficiency that he was invited to the Blue House. That worker was Byunghyun Ban, serving at the Ministry of Employment and Labor's Andong branch. His supervisor told him to enter the 13-digit tracking numbers for more than 3,900 registered letters into the postal service website one by one and print all the results. This repetitive task would have taken at least six months, but Byunghyun finished it in just one day! An engineer with a master's degree in AI from KAIST, he built his own automation software and dramatically reduced the time required. He became known as "the public service worker who changed Korea" and "the coding public service worker." We received a request to find out how he was doing and finally tracked him down. He had recently completed his service, so we asked what he was up to. This man really left us speechless—utterly, tongue-tied, blubbering speechless! (Seriously.)
