South Korea's KBS Television reported on the 2nd that the personal information of President Lee Jae-Myung and his wife, as well as government officials, had been exposed on the Internet for about five months. The information contained the names and passport numbers of a total of 168 passengers on the private plane, and the government is aware of the information leak and is taking action.

The Parent Ceremony for the Order of Culture was held on the 3rd at the ``Matsu no Ma'' in the Imperial Palace, where seven people, including Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry Kenzo Kanai, received the medal from His Majesty the Emperor. Shigeru Miyamoto was absent, and lighting designer Mikiko Ishii gave a speech on behalf of the recipients.

US President Trump gave speeches in Iowa and Kansas ahead of the midterm elections, making a series of ``verbal promises'' such as permanent year-round sales of ethanol-blended gasoline and a farmer support system. However, senior administration officials have said that aid will only come after the election, so it is unclear how it will affect voters. The NBC poll found that 53% of Republicans express dissatisfaction with the current state of the economy.

US President Trump made his final appeal in Washington the day before the midterm elections (votes were counted on the 3rd), emphasizing that this was the most important election of his life. Democrats dominate the House of Representatives, and the Senate is a close race, so if Republicans lose their majority, the administration will inevitably suffer a blow.

On the 2nd, the day the Disaster Prevention Agency was inaugurated, Disaster Prevention Minister Goshi Hosono issued an ``urgent request'' and called for thorough disaster prevention. Its mission is to respond to ``national disasters'' such as preparing for the Nankai Trough earthquake, but issues include raising the public's disaster prevention awareness and the effectiveness of the newly established ``recommendation authority.''

The Disaster Prevention Agency, which serves as the government's control tower for disaster prevention and response, was established on the 2nd. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi gave a warning, and Goshi Hosono, who became the first disaster prevention minister, issued an urgent request to the people to secure furniture and stockpile food.
