South Korea\'s Ministry of Science and ICT said on Tuesday it has begun expanding pilot transitions to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and launching commercial R&D for key national infrastructure including telecommunications, finance, transport, defense and space. The programme will apply PQC in real systems to identify technical issues and establish migration procedures, while developing technologies to automatically identify vulnerable cryptographic assets and support conversion, operation and stability verification.

Coupang Eats Service said on Wednesday it will roll out a free safety inspection program for delivery partners in the first half of 2026. The inspections, which began last month in Gunpo, will run sequentially through June in 15 areas including Seoul, Gyeonggi and Incheon, as well as Cheongju, Changwon and Jeonju. The program checks key motorcycle safety items and may provide free replacement of consumables. Some areas will also offer traffic safety education and health screenings.
