[photo] prices of newspapers in Korea

[hyunwoo]

Hi guys, do you prefer reading the newspaper in print or online?




More and more young people are no longer buying printed newspapers firstly because they can read the news online while they are using their computers and secondly because they have many other more interesting things to do in the subway or the bus than reading the paper.

General newspapers cost 500 won a copy, (1 USD = 920 won)
sports newspapers cost 600 won a copy,
weekly newspapers cost 1,000 won a copy,
and English newspapers cost 700~800 won a copy.


I hope you'll be able to read the news in Korean one day!!
