The world is experiencing a “Korean Wave”, a global pop culture boom. In February 2020, Bong Joon-ho’s “Parasite”
became the first non-English language film to win a best picture Oscar. Months later, K-pop sensation BTS released its
highly anticipated new album that quickly topped the Billboard charts. This is not a new trend. The world has been gobbling
up Korean pop culture for years — and not just music or movies. Korean products, such as packaged noodles and beauty
products have been booming as well. 

What explains this international cultural moment? More than 20 years ago, the Korean Wave began as a South Korean
government project. The Asian financial crisis of 1997-1998 brought the Korean economy to its knees. This made the
government realize it had become overly dependent on heavy industries with complicated supply chains. In 1994, Korea’s
Presidential Advisory Board on Science and Technology published a report. It suggested that the film “Jurassic Park” could
make as much in a single year as the combined sales of 1.5 million Hyundai automobiles. As a result, the Korean
government launched one of the world’s biggest soft-power offensives to rebrand and export Korean cultural products.

Adapted from: The Washington Post

The approach of the WHO South-East Asia Region to health security is guided by a simple yet powerful logic: When we
work together we are protected together. Never has this been more important. The outbreak of COVID-19 is a Public
Health Emergency of International Concern. It provides significant challenges to countries in the Region. We must stand
together and work as one to face the outbreak down. There are several benefits of working together in dealing with
COVID-19.

(1) First, by working together, countries promote efficiency. (2) Each country in the Region has different strengths and
faces different risks. (3) By continuing to share knowledge and resources, countries will build surge capacity. (4) There is no
accurate data related to the spread of COVID-19. (5) This is a crucial asset that will help them prepare for all possibilities,
including community transmission. (6) The latest information suggests that the virus may be more transmissible than early
data suggested. (7) All countries must strengthen their readiness to respond.

(1) Second, by working together, countries promote trust. (2) Trust between countries allows national decision makers to be
confident that the public health measures they take are based on sound information, reflect ground realities and anticipate
emerging trends. (3) Measures that are unnecessary can spread panic and fear. (4) Measures that are inadequate can
spread viruses and disease. (5) As the outbreak unfolds, it is imperative that countries adapt and sequence their actions to
protect the most vulnerable first. (6) They must allocate resources accordingly.

Third, by working together, countries promote knowledge. Detailed case reporting will help us all learn more about COVID-
19 and how it can be prevented and treated. Earlier this month, WHO gathered 400 of the world’s leading experts for
discussions on top research and innovation priorities. Based on those discussions, WHO is developing a research and
innovation roadmap that will help scientists and donors across the world strengthen our medical armory.

Parents and toddlers who read paper books together speak and interact more when compared with those who read e-
books. Reading with a child is a hugely important developmental activity. It helps youngsters learn new words. It will
broaden their knowledge. It also provides time to bond with loved ones. So, scientists wanted to see if parents and children
acted differently when they read books together using traditional media versus electronic devices like tablets.
The researchers recruited 37 pairs of parents and healthy toddlers between two and three years old. They asked them to
read from three different types of media. These were enhanced electronic books with sound effects or animation; a basic
electronic book; and a print book.

Researchers found parents and toddlers spoke more when interacting with a paper book rather than a story on an
electronic tablet. Parents used richer language when using print books compared with tablets. They collaborated more
with their children. But when reading ebooks, parents were less responsive. Children were less engaged with their parents.
