SEOUL - Boasting an overgrown beard and grey wavy hair, 65-year-old Kim Chil-doo glared into the wall, poised and confidant, as he practiced his runway walk among young, pin-thin models at an academy in Seoul earlier this month.
In a country with the world’s fastest ageing population, many elderly South Koreans like Kim are venturing into unconventional late career opportunities. For You Sung-lae, 59, her unfulfilled childhood dream of being an actress and interest in fashion led her to sign up for the course. Lotte, which operates South Korea’s largest department store chain, says department store sales for customers in their 60s rose by 12% on average from 2013-18 compared with 2-5% increases in overall revenues.
He started recruiting elderly volunteers, linking them with Korean major students at Princeton and Yale via Skype. “It made me uncomfortable when I asked my friends how they spend their day, they would be like ‘What else can you do other than going to the mountains?’” said Lee Kye-won, 69, a former trading firm employee who has been working with Cho since 2014.
“When they said Amazon I thought they’re talking about the rainforest and river that I saw from TV,” Seok said.

MLB Unsure Why It Ever Agreed To Hold League-Wide 'Teeny Tiny Boy Shorts Day'NEW YORK—Major League Baseball released a statement Tuesday admitting that nobody in its offices was quite sure why the organization agreed to allow all of Monday’s games to be themed "Teeny Tiny Boy Shorts Day." "With all the players, fans, and mascots wearing teeny tiny boy shorts, it’s clear the day was very well organized and thought out, but to be quite honest, nobody here has more than the vaguest of memories about agreeing to something like this," Commissioner Bud Selig said in the statement, clarifying that the league was not upset about seeing all its athletes and managers don teeny tiny boy shorts for an evening, but it was confused. "A few people in marketing believe Monday’s action may have originally been planned as a day to raise awareness for a cancer of some kind, and then this kernel of an idea somehow got a little out of hand and wound up with a lot of players unfortunately scraping up their thighs by sliding in those teeny tiny boy shorts." As of press time, MLB.com had updated its calendar to list July 14 as "Sparkly Shoes and Spunky Little Hat Day."
