More than 700 kg of samgyeopsal - pork fatback - will be consumed by 5,000 people on Sept. 19 in an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the number of people eating pork at one event.

Korea holds the current world record, set in 2003 when the Seoul Yeouido Livestock Festival fired up grills more than 100 meters long and brought together 2,000 hungry folks for a juicy feast and record-setting event.

This time, organizers say, the grills will be twice as long and more than double the number of partiers will be called out to enjoy grilled pork as they go for another world record.

The event is part of Insamgol Festival, a ginseng promotion event, and will take place in a sports park in Jeungpyeong, North Chungcheong Province.

The organizers said Insamgol Festival will also offer various concerts, exhibitions and exploration opportunities, along with lots of unique, local food under the theme of "Healthy Life, Happy Life, Come to Jeungpyeong."

Samsung betting on mirrorless cameras

Samsung betting on mirrorless cameras

The ruling Grand National Party yesterday zeroed in on chief justice Lee Yong-hoon as it upped the ante in a dispute over controversial court rulings.
The conservative GNP called on the Supreme Court head to take responsibility for the controversy surrounding "slanted" rulings.

The party said it will officially demand he dissolve a private association of young, progressive-minded justices who are involved in the court decisions in question.

Lee struck back, telling reporters, "I will firmly safeguard the independence of judiciary."

Lee had kept silent in the face of one of the widest-reaching and fiercest political disputes to engulf the judicial institution. Lee was appointed by former President Roh Moo-hyun in September 2005 for a six-year term.

The GNP and conservatives blamed him for "leftist tendencies" among young justices and a series of "politically biased" rulings.
