Beat heat with vegetable soup

Animal activists from the Korea Animal Rights Advocates (KARA) and officials of the Seoul Metropolitan Government hand out bowls of vegetable soup to citizens on Cheonggye Plaza in Gwanghwamun, central Seoul, Tuesday. They are promoting health food made of vegetables instead of meats ahead of “malbok,” the last of the three hottest periods of the summer on the lunar calendar, which falls on Aug. 12. / Yonhap
