Retro listening pleasures and a trip around the world
For a relaxing weekend, head to a cafe in Hongdae, grab a drink and listen to music on cassette tapes and vinyl records. For the culturally curious, take a trip around the world at a festival at Dongdaemun Design Plaza. Tunes and brews: The perfect weekend vibe A laid-back weekend might include sipping coffee, sinking into music and soaking up the sun with nothing planned. For the no-plans crew ready to float into the weekend, why not stop by Hongdae -- a neighborhood in Seoul's Mapo-gu known for its youthful ambience -- to savor a drink and discover new music to add to your playlist? Stereophonic Sound in western Seoul shifts from laid-back cafe by day to lively bar after dark. But what makes this place stand out is the music on cassette tapes and the excellent drinks. Visitors are invited to grab a cup of coffee, choose a cassette tape and listen to it for an hour on one of several vintage cassette players that are free to borrow. On display are cassettes of artists like The Beatles, Junko Ohashi and the Yunseokcheol Trio. Apart from the sonic adventure, the cafe is also known for its flat white, priced at 4,500 won ($3.25). After enjoying the music and coffee, head to the nearby Gyeongui Line Forest Park for a slow stroll and fresh air -- it'll make for a perfect in-town getaway. Stereophonic Sound 6 Wausan-ro 21-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul LP bar tucked inside a traditional market For those seeking a quiet and cozy spot in Seoul to enjoy a light drink away from the crowds, CMS — a small, hidden-away LP bar inside the traditional Jungang Market — offers a welcome retreat. Located just a two-minute walk from Exit 2 of Sindang Station, CMS sits at the entrance of Jungang Market and is surrounded by several other bars, making it convenient for a second or third round. It could be easy to miss, so look for a small, vintage-style sign, and take the stairs to the second floor. The interior features two sofa tables for small groups and bar seating suited for solo guests or pairs. From the bar, patrons can watch the staff play vinyl records from a large music collection while enjoying the powerful speaker system whose rich sound fills the room. A one-drink minimum per person is required, and on weekends, visits are limited to two hours. Song requests are not accepted. The drinks menu includes whiskey by the bottle or by the shot, beer, highballs and cocktails. The food selection is limited to light finger food, including tomato cream cheese, tuna canapes, potato salad and pineapple sorbet. Unlike most bars, there's no pressure to order food — guests are welcome to enjoy just a beer. A small bowl of Froot Loops cereal is served as the default snack. CMS 10-27 Toegye-ro 83-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul Around the world in a weekend If you've ever dreamed of circling the globe without leaving the city, this weekend is your chance. Dongdaemun Design Plaza is transforming into a vibrant cultural playground as the 2025 Seoul Friendship Festival kicks off Saturday and Sunday from noon to 8 p.m. The event, which drew 270,000 visitors last year, is expanding in both scope and flavor. With participation from embassies and cultural centers representing 67 countries, the festival promises a whirlwind of world cuisines, dazzling traditional performances and colorful attire -- all packed into two deliciously diverse days. Head to the World Food Zone, where 50 booths serve up everything from French croissants and Belgian waffles to Austrian goulash, Hungarian langos flatbread and Moroccan kofta kebabs. The Dessert Zone sweetens the deal with Ecuadorian empanadas, Czech honey cakes, Paraguayan guava juice and rich Colombian coffee. But it's not all about food. On the festival's special stage, visitors can catch performances such as New Zealand's Maori Kapa Haka, traditional dances from Laos, Indonesia, China and Thailand, and a thunderous taiko drum show from Hokkaido, Japan, promising to keep the energy sky-high. Festivalgoers can also immerse themselves in hands-on cultural experiences, trying on traditional costumes and playing traditional games that offer playful windows into childhoods across continents. Check out the festival's official Instagram page for detailed information. 281 Eulji-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul junheee@ jaaykim@ hwangdh@

Children's Cereals Now Less Healthy Than a Decade Ago: Study
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Children's breakfast cereals have become less nutritious over the past decade, with rising levels of fat, sodium and sugar in newly released offerings as well as declining amounts of protein and fiber, according to a new study. Why It Matters Many children and teens in the U.S. rely on cereal to start their day, with data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey showing that more than 30 percent of those aged 2 to 19 ate ready-to-eat cereal for breakfast. Childhood nutrition plays a critical role in healthy growth and development, while also helping to establish lifelong eating habits that can reduce the risk of chronic diseases. High sodium intake during childhood has been linked to elevated blood pressure and other long-term health concerns, for example. Protein, on the other hand, is essential for children because it supports growth, builds muscles, and helps develop a strong immune system. What To Know The study, published in JAMA Network Open, collected data from newly released cereals between 2010 and 2023. It found that total fat per serving increased 33.6 percent, from an average of 1.13 grams to 1.51 grams. Second to fat, sodium levels also soared a similar percentage, 32 percent, from 156 milligrams to 206 milligrams per serving. While carbohydrates remained relatively stable, with a slight increase, sugar saw a larger boost, increasing about 11 percent, from 10.28 grams to 11.40 grams per serving. It also found that good nutrients actually decreased, with fiber declining from 3.82 grams to 2.94 grams. Protein content also fell, decreasing to 1.69 grams per serving. Outside of their nutritional content, legislators have pushed to remove synthetic dyes from cereals. In March, West Virginia signed a statewide ban on seven dyes.

SYSPEO/SIPA/AP Photo What People Are Saying Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said in November 2024: "If you look at a pack of Froot Loops in this country, it's all chemical dyes. Yellow, blue, red dye, which are poison." Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced in April his office is investigating Kellogg's, saying: "Artificial food colorings have been shown to have disastrous impacts on health, and in no world should foods that include these dyes be advertised as 'healthy.' There will be accountability for any company, including Kellogg's, that unlawfully makes misrepresentations about its food and contributes to a broken health system that has made Americans less healthy." Senator Laura Wakim Chapman, a West Virginia Republican, said in March: "No more toxic colors, no more poisoning ourselves and our children. No more unnecessary risks. Our health is not for sale." What Happens Next Later today, HHS Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is set to release his Make America Healthy Again report, which is expected to touch on nutrition and dyes.

New Dietary Guidelines Will Recommend Americans 'Eat Whole Food,' Says RFK Jr.
Dietary guidelines that are set to be issued by the federal government later this year will recommend Americans eat 'whole food,' Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said on May 14. The Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) are working on a new set of guidelines that will be in place through 2030. 'We are about to reissue the dietary guidelines, and we're going to do it very quickly. We have until January, but … I think we'll have it done even before August,' Kennedy said in Washington while testifying to a House of Representatives committee. The current dietary guidelines, published in December 2020, run 164 pages. They say that people should eat a healthy diet and limit sugary foods and drinks. Health and agriculture officials in late 2024 received a draft of updated guidelines from an advisory committee that spans 421 pages and proposed instructing Americans to eat less meat, avoid full-fat dairy products, and ingest more plant-based proteins such as lentils. Kennedy said on Wednesday that the 2024 update was 'clearly written by industry' and driven by the 'kind of carnal impulses that put Froot Loops at the top of the food pyramid.' In the past, some members of the advisory committee have been found to have links to corporations, including Kellogg. Kennedy told lawmakers: 'We are changing that. So we're going to have four-page dietary guidelines that tell people essentially, 'eat whole food, eat the food that's good for you.'' The purpose of the guidelines is to outline what Americans should eat and drink to get enough nutrients, stay healthy, and prevent disease, according to the government. The guidelines are updated every four years and are 'written for a professional audience, including policymakers, healthcare providers, nutrition educators, and Federal nutrition program operators.'

'The Stock Market Is Shooting Through The Roof,' Says Dave Ramsey. But Claims The Media's Silent—'They Want You Addicted To Fear'
Personal finance expert Dave Ramsey took a swing at the media in a recent segment of 'The Dave Ramsey Show,' claiming news outlets are more focused on pushing fear than accurately reporting economic recovery. Ramsey emphasized that the market had returned to its earlier levels. 'We're about even from the first of the year now,' he said, arguing that this key point is being overlooked by the media. 'All the losses have been completely recovered from Jan. 1.' Don't Miss: Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart & Target – Ramsey pointed to the stock market's rapid rebound following news that the Trump administration had reached an agreement with China on tariffs. 'As of this moment, the stock market is shooting through the roof,' Ramsey said. 'Huge rebound in the last two days.' Just weeks ago, he reminded listeners, media headlines warned that Trump's tariff negotiations would ruin the economy. 'Y'all remember that we were all going to die about a month ago? That the world was coming to an end?' he asked sarcastically. 'See if you find one positive news story about it going up,' Ramsey challenged. 'You won't find one.' Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — Ramsey accused the media of thriving on fear-based narratives. 'They really don't report the news. They're just in the fear porn business,' he said. 'If the tornado isn't going to kill you, you're going to lose all your retirement. Or there's going to be a hurricane, or an earthquake, or all of the immigrants are going to kill you. Something's going to kill you. That's all they do over and over and over.' He recalled how, after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the stock market dropped sharply but fully recovered in just 54 days—a milestone he says went unreported. 'Not one news outlet reported that America's economy is so vibrant, so strong,' Ramsey advised investors to stop reacting emotionally to short-term market fluctuations. 'Quit buying and selling your stock. Just get in your mutual funds and stay in and ride. This is how people build wealth,' he said. He warned against the emotional pull of headlines and clickbait. 'You're not going to find a report. If you do, it's one in a bazillion.' Co-host Ken Coleman highlighted the difference between the economy and the stock market. 'That's a speculative game,' the guest said. 'What we're seeing on Wall Street is not the same as the health of the American economy.' Ramsey wrapped up with a memorable analogy. 'In a given week, it's a four-year-old having a temper tantrum in the cereal aisle because the Froot Loops aren't right there. In a given decade, the stock market's a wise old woman.'
