Just a follow-up to what I wrote recently about the editorial choices of Korean TV channels. I explained that journalists and anchors of the evening news programs tended to dwell for too long on information that isn't - at least in my opinion - of paramount importance. Well, just yesterday, JTBC spent several minutes explaining how a bicycle thief was arrested! Even if he stole a few hundred bikes, in my country this would probably not even be on the local TV news (maybe it would get a few lines in the local newspaper, though).
This also illustrates what I wrote some time ago about Korea being an extremely safe country. So one can imagine that JTBC talked about it because it's pretty unusual. It made me smile anyways...
