The left-wing opposition has sought to frame the vote as a referendum on Park's economic policies, but has suffered from factional infighting and breakaways that threaten to split the liberal vote to Saenuri's advantage.

But the conservatives have also suffered from internal bickering, particularly over the process for nominating candidates, which led to a number of defections by MPs now running as independents.

If the exit polls are correct - and that is not always the case in South Korea - they indicate rising discontent probably over two issues.

Firstly, attempts by the government to weaken the legal protection workers have against being sacked. President Park's government had been pushing for this as the economy weakened and, she felt, became less competitive.

Secondly, unhappiness at what opponents of the government see as a heavier hand against dissidents and protesters. A left-wing opposition party was banned and its leaders arrested for their alleged sympathies with North Korea.

Household debt is high and rising in South Korea and unemployment among young people is at levels not seen for nearly two decades. These economic concerns seem to have dominated the election. North Korea was not a major issue.

The new Powerball jackpot is soaring past the record for the biggest jackpot in U.S. history.

It hit $700 million on Thursday after Wednesday night's drawing was the 18th without a winner. The previous jackpot record was held by a 2012 MegaMillions game worth $656 million.

Drawing => 복권 당첨 번호 뽑는 것.

jackpot: 당첨금액.

The current jackpot first climbed to $675 million Wednesday night and reached $700 million before noon on Thursday.

This jackpot first broke into the top 10 largest jackpots in U.S. history over the weekend, when it hit $400 million, and ticket sales have continued to soar,

But even with a flood of new tickets in the contest, nobody has beaten the 1 in 292 million odds of matching all six winning numbers.

=> 복권이 당첨이 될 확률 2억 9천 2백만분을 누구도 깨지 못 했다. 

The next drawing is set for Saturday at 11 pm ET.

The current jackpot has been growing since Nov. 7, 2015.

Powerball is sold in 44 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Half my life was spent outside South Korea, but I still cannot forget certain history lessons from childhood in Seoul. Dokdo, rocky islets claimed by both South Korea and Japan, is an inalienable Korean territory. Hangul, the writing system credited to a 15th-century king and used by the two Koreas, is the most scientific on Earth. Even after I wrote a doctoral dissertation on modern Korea and taught Korean studies courses at universities, such nationalistic claims of varying persuasiveness whisper to me.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The administration of President Park Geun-hye also knows that history is a powerful tool for molding young minds. That is why, after weeks of rancorous public debate, on Nov. 3 it made official its decision to replace current middle and high school history textbooks produced by private publishers with government-issued ones by 2017.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The books have yet to be written. But there is no question that Ms. Park and her Saenuri Party will whitewash the past to bolster the conservative cause at the expense of the education system and South Korea’s international reputation as a democracy, and harm Seoul’s attempt to hold Japan accountable for its wartime conduct.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 It is accused by critics of numerous flaws that contradict mainstream and scholarly assessment, such as downplaying or ignoring many episodes of state-sponsored violence in South Korea’s modern history, as well as portraying the coup on May 16, 1961, by Ms. Park’s father, Park Chung-hee, as legitimate

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Much to the chagrin of the right, this textbook, published since 2013, has been shunned by schools, which have latitude to choose from the eight options.

The administration and the ruling party are staging a concerted pushback against historical disclosures made possible by democratic gains.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now Ms. Park, who stated during a 1989 television interview that her father’s military coup was “a revolution for the nation’s salvation,” is having her turn at correcting history
---------------------------------------------------------------

Ms. Park defends the unwritten books, saying that it is necessary to “inculcate the students with historical convictions and pride.” Yet that remark itself betrays an outdated view of history education as being solely in service of chauvinism, far removed from how more than 200 Korean studies professors around the world define it in a public call for South Korea to abort the new textbook plan.

to ​fix ​beliefs or ​ideas in someone's ​mind, ​especially by ​repeating them often:Our ​coach has ​worked hard to inculcate a ​team ​spirit in/into the ​players.The ​goal is to inculcate in ​students a ​tolerance for ​people of other ​religions and ​races.

In geopolitical terms, the Park administration is undermining efforts to confront Japan over its crimes in the wartime era, especially the issue of comfort women. If South Korea can promote its own incomplete history among children, why should Japan not be able to do the same and obscure its dark past?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Short of abandoning her scheme entirely, Ms. Park may be able to make a case for government-issued history textbooks by including on the panel of authors not only scholars from within her ideological camp but also an equal number of those her officials deem to be “leftists.”
----------------------------------------------------------------------------In short, only governments that suffer from a tenuous hold on legitimacy overtly rely on education to manipulate the masses.
A tenuous ​connection, ​idea, or ​situation is ​weak and ​possibly does not ​exist:The ​police have only ​found a tenuous ​connection between the two ​robberies.The ​aging dictator’s ​hold on ​power is tenuous.

South Koreans can be as proud of their country’s emergence from dictatorship into a vibrant democracy as they are of the rags-to-riches development that made their country a global industrial powerhouse. So it is alarming that President Park Geun-hye appears intent on backtracking on the democratic freedoms that have made South Korea as different from North Korea’s puppet regime as day is from night.

it is alarming ~ : ~가 까무러칠만한 일이다. ~기겁할 노릇이다.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rehabilitating her father’s image appears to be one motivation for making sure South Korea’s students learn a whitewashed version of their country’s history — especially the period when democratic freedoms were seen as an impediment to industrialization.

South Korea’s economy has been hit hard this year by an outbreak of MERS respiratory disease and a slowdown in demand from China and other Asian countries. The biggest risk to South Korea’s reputation abroad, however, is not economic but political, chiefly Ms. Park’s heavy-handed attempts to rewrite history and quash dissent.

heavy-handed: 강경한
