On Tuesday, a father, 34, and a son, 12, were caught stealing two cartons of milk, six apples and some drinks from a store in Incheon. The father said he was in a dire need trying to feed his hungry family.

The father, a cab driver, has been unable to work for six months due to health issues. The store owner forgave the family and begged for them to receive light punishment.

A police officer then took the father and son to a restaurant and bought them a meal, and a customer, who heard about the family's circumstances, visited the restaurant and gave the man an envelope containing 200,000 won.

Mariah Carey's holiday juggernaut "All I Want for Christmas Is You" just this week topped the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time in the song's 25-year history.

The newfound chart dominance of "All I Want for Christmas"  it climbed as high as No. 3 last holiday season  can be chalked up to any number of factors, including nostalgia, the ever-growing influence of streaming services and the fact that "All I Want for Christmas" has aged remarkably well.

Now, at least for this particular week in December 2019, Carey's classic doesn't just represent the last word in holiday songs; it's the last word in songs, period.

South Korea's under 20 World Cup football squad recently achieved an improbable semi-final spot after a 3-2 win over Senegal in a match that NBC Sports dubbed as “absolutely wild.” 

The team's relentless march toward the final started rather inauspiciously with a one-nil loss to Portugal in the opening round. 

The last time that South Korea reached the final four was in 1983. South Korea will play at least two more matches in this year's tourney: the semifinals and either the final or the third-place match.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GE0jT7Ldxr4&feature=youtu.be

한국의 20세 이하 월드컵 축구대표팀은 최근 NBC 스포츠가 "절대 난폭한"이라고 칭한 경기에서 세네갈을 3대 2로 이긴 후 있을 것 같지 않은 준결승에 진출했다. 

결승전을 향한 그 팀의 거침없는 행진은 오히려 눈에 띄지 않게 시작되었는데, 개막전에서 포르투갈에 1-0으로 졌다. 한국이 마지막 4강에 오른 것은 1983년이다. 

한국은 올해 투어에서 4강과 결승전 또는 3위전 중 적어도 두 경기를 더 치르게 된다.

The famed Sagrada Familia Basilica in Barcelona, Spain has been granted a building permit at long last. Despite being under construction for nearly 140 years, and receiving some four million visitors annually, the building had lacked the proper documentation. 

That issue has now been rectified, with Barcelona City Hall issuing a permit valid until 2026, which officials say is sufficient time to wrap up construction. Standing more than 172 meters in height, the basilica's central tower is expected to make the building Europe's tallest religious structure.

스페인 바르셀로나에 있는 유명한 사그라다 파밀리아 바실리카는 마침내 건축 허가를 받았다. 140년 가까이 건설 중이고 연간 약 4백만 명의 방문객을 받고 있음에도 불구하고, 이 건물은 적절한 서류가 부족했다. 

바르셀로나 시청이 2026년까지 유효한 허가를 내림으로써 이 문제는 이제 수정되었다. 관계자들은 이 허가서가 공사를 마무리하기에 충분한 시간이라고 말한다. 높이 172m가 넘는 이 바실리카의 중심 탑은 이 건물을 유럽에서 가장 높은 종교 구조로 만들 것으로 예상된다.

Venezuela recently reopened its border with Colombia after having closed it four months ago to ward off what it called a "foreign invasion." Thousands of people poured into Colombia to buy food and medicine. 

The border closure had been particularly problematic for border towns that rely on Colombian cities for essential products and services. 

As a result, many people crossed illegally, often having to pay criminals who levied tolls. Venezuela has been mired in economic and political crises with severe supply shortages and hyperinflation.

베네수엘라는 이른바 '외국인 침공'을 막기 위해 4개월 전 콜롬비아와의 국경을 폐쇄한 뒤 최근 다시 국경을 개방했다. 수천 명의 사람들이 음식과 약을 사기 위해 콜롬비아로 몰려들었다. 

국경 폐쇄는 필수 제품과 서비스를 위해 콜롬비아 도시에 의존하는 국경 도시들에게 특히 문제가 되었다. 

그 결과, 많은 사람들이 불법적으로 횡단을 했고, 종종 통행료를 부과하는 범죄자들에게 돈을 지불해야 했다. 베네수엘라는 극심한 공급 부족과 초인플레이션으로 경제, 정치적 위기에 빠져 있다.
