[Edaily Reporter SOYEON KIM ] "As we had announced in our previous earnings preview, we treated this as our final round of workforce restructuring and implemented a voluntary retirement program with expanded terms and conditions compared to past initiatives. This resulted in a one-time expense of approximately 240 billion won, which was reflected in our second-quarter earnings. Chronic second-quarter losses had been a persistent problem over the past four years. Excluding this one-time expense, we managed to break even in the second quarter this time. This is a significant development."
