A round-trip flight from Incheon to Los Angeles takes about 13 hours. It is a distance of approximately 9,500 kilometers. That is the distance that Ji-Hyun Park, a 24-year-old women’s basketball player, travels every time she goes to play in the WNBA. Park, who plays for the Dallas Wings, is currently on a temporary leave from her team. She returned to Korea to play in the 2023-24 season of the Korean Basketball League (KBL) for the Shinhan Bank team. In an interview with a local reporter on the 26th, Park said, “The environment in the U.S. is very good. I can focus only on basketball.” She continued, “I am very thankful. I want to play in the WNBA for a long time.” Park, who is 1.96 meters tall, was the first Korean player to be selected in the WNBA draft. She was selected by the Dallas Wings with the 1st round 9th overall pick in the 2022 WNBA draft. She played 11 games in her rookie season, averaging 11.6 minutes per game. She scored 4.0 points and grabbed 2.8 rebounds. In 7 games this season, Park averaged 4.3 points and 1.7 rebounds in 9.9 minutes per game. The WNBA season typically runs from May to September. The Korean Basketball League season usually runs from October to March. Park will play in the Korean league until next month. She will then return to the U.S. to prepare for the WNBA. She said, “I will work hard to improve my skills during my time in Korea. I want to repay the Dallas Wings for giving me a chance.” She added, “I want to show that I can play an active role in the WNBA.”

The Supreme Court on the 25th ruled that the Seoul Metropolitan Government must pay 42.1 billion won in compensation to the Korea Railroad Corporation for its use of the Gyeongui Line Forest Path. The court decided that the city had to compensate the corporation for its use of the land from 2015 to 2020. The Gyeongui Line Forest Path, which runs 6.2 kilometers from Hongdae 3-gil in Mapo-gu to Yongsan-gu, was originally railroad land that was used as a public path after the railroad was discontinued. The Seoul Metropolitan Government designated the path as a park in 2015 and has been managing it since then. The Korea Railroad Corporation demanded compensation from the city for its use of the land, but the city refused, citing that it was a public path. However, the Supreme Court ultimately ruled in favor of the corporation, stating that the city had to pay compensation even if the land was used as a public path. The court said, "The Railroad Corporation owns the land and the city used it without a valid reason, so it must pay compensation." The city plans to review the ruling and consider measures such as filing a retrial or appealing for a settlement.
