Nascent Drama

Tens of thousands of South Koreans will descend on the capital Seoul this weekend to apply for "iron ricebowl" jobs with the city government, officials said Thursday.
 
Special package tours and an extra train service have been laid on to cater for the rush of people sitting an annual qualifying exam on Sunday.
 
"The biggest merit that the civil service job has is undoubtedly job security," a Seoul city spokesman told AFP, also citing the "not that bad" pay and other fringe benefits.
 
The Seoul city government draws more job seekers than others because unlike other local authorities, it allows applicants from outside the city.
 
National rail operator KORAIL said it would lay on an extra train this Sunday from the southern city of Busan and tickets for it have already been sold out.
 
The city government holds exams for separate types of job on different days to ease congestion. The second exam on August 17 will attract some 43,000 applicants.
