Wemade Q2 operating loss 21 billion won narrows from year earlier

Wemade posted an operating loss in the second quarter as mobile game sales fell and a one-off revenue base effect from the previous quarter weighed on results. The company said it reduced the year-on-year loss through cost efficiency. Second-quarter revenue fell 29 percent from the previous quarter and 7 percent from a year earlier. Wemade plans to expand new game launches, including Night Crows W, to drive a performance rebound.

Women with night-owl pattern eat more late-night snacks and have higher body fat - study

A study found that women who stay awake late, described as having a night-owl pattern, were linked to higher body fat and metabolic indicators. The research, published in Frontiers, analysed data from 287 New Zealand women of European and Pacific ethnicity aged 18 to 45. Evening-type participants consumed more late-night food and had higher BMI and fat measures. Blood markers such as glucose and triglycerides were also higher, though generalisation is limited.
