People going on blind or ordinary dates can now do so with government support. They can get married in public museums or parks, and pay just KRW 10,000 in rent per month for their new home after marriage. This is not a dream. This is how a new dating and wedding culture is being sponsored by the Korean government.

A 2023 census showed that the total population of Korea (not including foreign nationals) was 49.84 million, down 101,000 (0.2%) from the previous year. It has declined every year since 2021. Last year's total birthrate was 0.72, marking a new record, as it was lower than the 0.78 in 2022. There were 194,000 marriages last year, a 40% decrease over 10 years.

An increasing number of Koreans are giving up on dating and marriage, causing a demographic cliff. The concurrent low birthrate has been a social problem for some time, which even the president has called a national crisis.

The government has taken measures to resolve this crisis, such as by establishing a ministry to cover population strategy and planning. Local governments and private organizations have also stepped in. They have arranged meetings between single men and women, and come up with various programs and strategies to increase the population. Even Buddhism has joined in.

A man from Dangjin, Chungcheongnam-do Province, and a woman from Gwangak-gu District, Seoul, met for the first time on Aug. 9 and fell in love. They met each other through a program called "I am Jeolo" run by the Korean Buddhist Foundation for Social Welfare. Jeol means "temple" in Korean. The program is named after the dating reality show "I am Solo."

The program combines a temple stay with blind dates. It offers opportunities for a rendezvous between single men and women in their 20s and 30s. Participants stay for one night and two days in a temple, engage in various programs to become acquainted with one another, and perhaps find a partner.

Seoul Forest is situated at the confluence of the Han River, flowing from the east, and Jungnangcheon, one of the river’s tributaries, coming from the north. Viewed from above, a triangular shape is readily apparent, with one side slightly distorted. Rows of tall trees along the perimeter shield the park from the noise and pollution of the surrounding traffic.

During the Joseon Dynasty (1392–1910), the area was a royal hunting ground. Over time, usage evolved to include a golf course, horse racing track, and sports park. In the 1990s, the Seoul Metropolitan Government contemplated turning it into a residential and commercial zone but ultimately opted to an urban oasis for citizens in the park-deficient northeastern part of the city.

In 2003, a design competition for the park project was held, and Seoul Forest opened in June 2005. At that time, Seoul aimed for more than a conventional neighborhood park, envisioning a city forest that would be instantly identified with the Korean capital, akin to Manhattan’s Central Park or London’s Hyde Park.

Dongsimwon Landscape Design & Construction won the contest with its concept of the space not only as a natural area but also an arts and cultural hub. This vision led to the creation of four themed spaces — Culture & Art Park, Eco Forest, Experiential Learning Park, and Marsh Plants Gardens — plus a zone linking the park to the Han River.

Although playing with toys is essential for children’s physical and emotional development, toys are often easily discarded once they are no longer considered interesting. As awareness of the risks of plastic use and consumption grows, there is now an increasingly urgent need for people to reconsider the life cycle of plastic toys, from their purchase and repair to their ultimate disposal.

Some parents may often feel the need to give their children anything they ask for. How­ever, amid ever-increasing environmental pol­lution and the worsening climate crisis, plastic consumption is a growing concern, as is the im­pact of our lifestyles on the environment: what we eat, drink, and wear. The toys our children play with are no exception.

Today, most children’s toys are made primari­ly of plastic. There is now a trend toward using eco-friendly materials for a range of consumer products, but unfortunately, many discarded toys are still classified as general waste. Apart from plastic, they often contain different components such as steel or rubber, used in wires and screws, which means they must either be incinerated or disposed of in landfills. Ironically, if they were made entirely of plastic, they could be partially melted down and recycled.

The reality that most toys cannot be recycled is obviously a serious problem, but so too are the pol­lutants released during the disposal process. Ulti­mately, the most sustainable solution is to reduce the number of toys that are discarded by making efforts to get more use out of them. Kokkiri Gong­jang, located in Ulsan in southeastern Korea, is a social enterprise that is deeply committed to ex­tending the life cycle of children’s toys.

In capitalist systems, which presuppose constant economic growth, the production, distribution, consumption, and disposal of goods take place ad infinitum. This has led to excessive consumer patterns and, in turn, increased carbon emissions, a major driver of climate change.
