Ask what Korea is talking about.

The government and the ruling Democratic Party of Korea agreed on Nov. 8 to review providing about 2 trillion won ($1.5 billion) in fiscal support for essential investments in the firefighting sector, according to Yonhap and other Korean outlets. The move aims to ease local governments' financial burden for fire services. DPK spokesperson Park Seong-jun said at a briefing that the party requested expanded state support so that essential investments directly tied to public safety are not reduced. Prime Minister Han Seong-sook also vowed to review support measures for firefighters, Yonhap reports.
