Medium is warmer for storing kimchi. Within the same kimchi storage mode, strong keeps kimchi colder than medium. That difference matters when choosing a setting for a low-salt batch. Low-salt kimchi can freeze at the low temperatures intended for regular kimchi. If thin ice appears, the article advises checking storage strength and looking for water droplets on the container lid. Those are specific things to inspect before changing a setting. The guide also distinguishes storage from ripening, which serve different purposes. For low-salt kimchi, it suggests considering weak or a dedicated low-salt setting if the compartment supports one. Check that compartment's set temperature and available functions in your model's manual, rather than relying on the model number alone. For cooks storing low-salt kimchi, read the article to assess the controls on the compartment you use.

Exhibitors saw Assassin(s) lead. On October 4, 2026, Hur Jin-ho's film ranked No. 1 by daily admissions at the South Korean box office, drawing 188,468 moviegoers that day.

The two figures give you a dated daily result and the total through the same date, without treating a single day's ranking as a longer-term trend. For screening plans, the article also lists a 12-and-up rating and a runtime of 130 minutes and 56 seconds, calculated from the minutes and seconds reported by KOBIS. Those details help you check age guidance and allow time for the film, neither of which the admissions figures show. If you work with cinema reporting or compare South Korean box office results, read the article for the dated figures and the film's viewing details.

Seoul buyers need a full-cost budget. Comparing an older Seoul apartment with a new build in Gyeonggi starts with the purchase price, but does not end there. A price below its previous peak does not, on its own, mean a home is undervalued. Complex size alone cannot tell you whether you can sell when you want to. Neither is a substitute for checking the individual property. The article shows how to add transaction costs and possible repairs to the price, then compare actual commutes rather than relying on a city or provincial boundary. This helps assess both the cash needed to buy and the daily commute. Check transaction records and shared-facility upkeep instead of applying a fixed low-floor discount or resale assumption. If you plan to sell your current home and buy another, calculate the cash needed if the sale is delayed. Buyers weighing older Seoul apartments against new Gyeonggi builds can read the full comparison to assess each complex’s location, price and total costs.

September 11, 2026: heirs face blocks. Transactions in the deceased's name are blocked the day after a death registration is received. Automatic payments from the deceased person's account may stop, so bills paid from it need another look. The September 2026 announcement says the system covers 4,890 financial-sector companies, but the block does not settle the estate. Deposits remain possible. Withdrawals for medical or funeral expenses are exceptions after supporting documents are verified. Searching for assets and receiving inherited deposits each require separate procedures; neither happens as part of the automatic block. For professionals assisting bereaved families, or heirs managing payments, check which bills use the deceased person's account. Read the article for the block timing, permitted transactions and separate inheritance steps.

Oct 24 starts the 2026 Japan Series. Game 1 is assigned to the Central League representative's home stadium. A listed game is not necessarily one that will be played. The first team to win four games takes the title, so Game 5 or any later game could be unnecessary. Bad weather or other factors can also change a scheduled date. The article sets out the home assignment by game number: Games 1, 2, 6 and 7 at the Central League representative's home stadium, and Games 3, 4 and 5 at the Pacific League representative's. For ticket planning or broadcast viewing, the game number tells you which side's home venue to check, even if a date moves. Game 7 is scheduled for November 1 if needed. If you are planning around the 2026 series, compare the game number with any revised date. Read the article for the schedule and home assignments.
