SENIOR KOREANS SHOW AGE IS JUST A NUMBER

Описание: 한국 고령화 사회 시니어들의 새로운 도전

Hello and welcome to Press Perspective for this Friday October 18th here in South Korea.
I'm Min Sunhee
A growing number of senior Koreans are seeking to take " roads not taken" by their earlier counterparts as they choose to venture onto runaways and into rapping.
For more I have Chien-Hao Yang a Taiwanese journalist here in Seoul.
Chien-Hao it's a pleasure.
I also have Sebastien Falletti a correspondent for French daily Le Figaro.
Sebastien welcome.


1) Chien-Hao, how do you explain the international interest garnered by "Korea's most glamorous granny" as BBC described the 81-year-old beauty pageant contestant?


2) Sebastien, do you suppose the reality that Korea is one of the fastest aging societies in the world has shed greater global media attention on Choi Soon-hwa's participation in this pageant?


3) Meanwhile, Chien-Hao, a while back, you covered a group of senior Korean men who had been generating much buzz online for their chic styles and choreography.
Do share with us details of that coverage, and what were some of your takeaways?


4) Chien-Hao, you also touched upon the public perception towards the elderly here in Korea as well as the generational gap between the young and old.
Do you care to elaborate?


5) Sebastien, dismal birth rates and ageing communities are universal concerns.
That being said, do tell us a bit about this reality over in Europe, and how does it compare to the situation here in Korea?


6) Sebastien, you recently covered Korea's low birth rate and government efforts to tackle it.
Generally speaking, what are your thoughts on efforts here to address birth rates and the consequences of an ageing society?


7) Chien-Hao, back in July, lawmakers in Taiwan abolished the clause requiring retirement at age 65.
Now, what prompted this move, and what has been the public response?


8) Sebastien, in France, the legal retirement age has been raised to 64 from 62 following rampant public protests last year.
What's the latest on that front?


9) Chien-Hao, back here in Korea, a group of rapping grannies, all in their 80s, made quite a bit of headlines earlier this year.
Now, sadly, one of the members passed away this month at the age of 87 owning to cancer.
And her 65-year-old daughter revealed her mother had said that her last few months were like heaven given her chance on stage as a rapper.
These remarks have reignited interest in the quality of life for the elderly here in Korea.
What is your observation with regard to the quality of life for seniors in Korea?


10) And Sebastien, what are your thoughts on the quality of life for the elderly here in Korea?


All right.
