    <![CDATA[Rep. Jung Chung-rae, a lawmaker well known for his hard-line stance and rough way with words, was elected chair of the ruling Democratic Party in its national convention last Saturday. He said in his acceptance speech that the insurrection was not over yet and that the party must root out &quot;insurrectionist&quot; forces. He defined the main opposition People Power Party as &quot;a force which tried to destroy the Constitution&quot; and his party as &quot;a force trying to defend it.&quot; He also said if the People Power ]]>

    <![CDATA[Asian economies are still anxiously assessing how to compete for trade with the United States after missing the Aug. 1 deadline for the Trump administration’s tariff negotiations. The Philippines’ tariff rate for exports to the US is reportedly down to 19 percent. However, one Filipino lawmaker says it’s 6 percent. Indonesia’s rate is down to 19 percent; Vietnam’s is down to 20 percent. Hours before the deadline, Malaysian, Thai and Cambodian leaders seemed to be on the cusp of reaching deals wi]]>

    <![CDATA[When it comes to reporting on the comparative health of nations, there is ample bias in the national and international press about American shortcomings. Some of it is justified -- disproportionate numbers of obesity and firearm deaths are usually cited by medical and nonmedical sources, as well as the relatively high infant mortality. But no less important are environmental deaths, specifically those related to hot and cold weather, which are rarely cited. The US figures are far more impressive]]>

    <![CDATA[South Korea’s last-minute trade agreement with the United States — concluded just under two days before the deadline — has dominated headlines and conversations both domestically and internationally. The attention is understandable. Since the beginning of President Donald Trump’s second term earlier this year, US tariff policy has emerged as one of the most destabilizing forces in the global economy. For South Korea — a country that relies heavily on manufacturing and exports — the stakes could ]]>

    <![CDATA[President Lee Jae Myung’s summit with US President Donald Trump this month is expected to mark a turning point in the Korea-US alliance. It will be their first in-person meeting since Trump returned to the White House in January, and it follows Seoul’s hard-won tariff deal that secured trade terms on par with those for Japan. But economic parity is only part of the story. As security threats multiply and US foreign policy grows increasingly transactional, the summit presents an opportunity for S]]>

    <![CDATA[Despite vastly different political histories, South Korea and the United States are beginning to resemble each other in one critical respect: the rise of boss politics. This style of personality-driven leadership, defined by charismatic control over political parties and unwavering loyalty from supporters, has become increasingly evident in both countries. It marks a shift from institutional politics to one dominated by individual influence — where dissent is punished and power is concentrated a]]>

The film, in which a fictional K-pop girl group battles demons with music-infused powers, has topped streaming charts in over 30 countries and propelled its soundtrack to second place on the Billboard 200. But perhaps more telling than the film’s entertainment value is what it revealed about Korea’s export potential and its limitations. While fans from]]>

    <![CDATA[On Monday and Tuesday, Kim Yo-jong, deputy director of the North Korean Workers’ Party and sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, issued statements filled with strong and resolute language targeting both South Korea and the United States. She declared that, regarding South Korea, “We have completely exited the era of perceiving them as compatriots,” and told the US, “Contact between North Korea and the US is only America’s wish.” At first glance, these remarks might suggest that North Korea ]]>

Industrial and business circles have expressed concerns about the bill numerous times, but the government and the ruling Democratic Party of Korea have pressed ahead with the legislation.

What makes this figure striking is not only its magnitude but the underlying composition of these earnings. Despite four benchmark rate cuts by the Bank of Korea since late 2024, commercial banks promptly lowered deposit rates but were reluctant to reduce lending rates. As a result, the net interest margin ]]>

    <![CDATA[To date, an election for the House of Councilors, the upper house of the Japanese Diet, would not have been big news, but results from the recent election on July 20 changed that. The ruling Liberal Democratic Party and its coalition partner, the Komeito party, lost their majority while recently formed populist far-right parties performed surprisingly well. In particular, the Sanseito party led by right-wing provocateur Sohei Kamiya won 14 seats, pushing up its total in the chamber from one seat]]>

    <![CDATA[As Japan and the United States conclude a high-profile tariff agreement, attention has quickly turned to South Korea. Tokyo’s willingness to open its agricultural market, commit to joint energy projects and pledge a record-breaking $550 billion in US-bound investment has earned it a reduction in reciprocal tariffs from 25 percent to 15 percent — a benchmark now hardening into a minimum standard for Washington’s other major trading partners. South Korea finds itself in a more compressed timeframe]]>

A day earlier, President Lee Jae Myung requested the National Assembly send the confirmation hearing report on Kang Sun-woo to him by Thursday, indicating his willingness to appoint her even if the Assembly failed to adopt the report. Her volutary withdrawal from candidacy means that justice prevailed in the long run. It also lessened President Lee&apos;s political burde]]>

    <![CDATA[When the Cold War ended in 1991, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization inevitably faced serious concerns over its continued existence. NATO had been a multilateral alliance ensuring peace and stability against potential invasion by the Soviet-led socialist bloc. But with the collapse of the Soviet Union and other socialist forces, the justification for NATO’s existence disappeared. After much deliberation and debate, NATO has sought to redefine its role by emphasizing its function as a supporte]]>

    <![CDATA[Korea still works hard. The country is known for its long working hours. A recent OECD survey in April 2025 puts Korea at No. 5 out of 38 countries surveyed with 1,900 hours per year per person. On top of that, Korea has long championed a strong work ethic with which people are educated and told to &quot;do their best&quot; on the job. The &quot;do-your-best&quot; mentality arguably underpins the economic success story of the resource-scarce country. Korean workplaces are now seeing seismic changes in this &quot;hard wo]]>

    <![CDATA[A decade ago, warnings about the erosion of South Korea’s manufacturing competitiveness were met with indifference or denial. Today, they land with the weight of hindsight. Chey Tae-won, chairman of SK Group and the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry, offered a stark diagnosis last week: Without a wholesale reinvention driven by artificial intelligence, much of the country’s manufacturing base may disappear within 10 years. That prospect is no longer theoretical — it is already taking shape.]]>

    <![CDATA[The famous English nursery rhyme “Humpty Dumpty” is about an egg sitting on a wall that falls to the ground and is broken irreparably. There are a variety of Humpty Dumpty animation videos on YouTube for children to watch. The main lyrics go like this: “Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. All the king&apos;s horses and all the king&apos;s men couldn&apos;t put Humpty together again.” An egg is protected by an eggshell, and yet it is fragile.

    <![CDATA[In the age of artificial intelligence, reforming math education in Korea isn’t just a good idea — it’s long overdue. AI runs on mathematics. Not just any math, but the kind that quietly powers how machines “think,” recognize patterns, and make decisions. One of AI’s core ideas is similarity — figuring out how close or far apart things are. To quantify this, early machine learning models leaned on fundamental mathematical concepts: spatial relationships, distances, and proximity. Optimization lie]]>

In a region where miscalculation can lead to catastrophe, the lack of clarity is not a luxury South Korea can afford. During confirmation hearings this week, Unification Minist]]>

    <![CDATA[After nearly 17 months of disruption, South Korea’s medical students have announced a return to school. The Korean Medical Students’ Association, in coordination with the Korean Medical Association and parliamentary committees, declared on July 12 that students would resume classes “in trust of the government and the National Assembly.” This is a welcome turn in a prolonged standoff that has caused lasting damage to both medical education and public health. However, normalization must not come a]]>

    <![CDATA[President Lee Jae Myung presided over a general meeting of the National Security Council on July 10, three weeks before the US is scheduled to impose tariffs. People expected the meeting to deal mostly with the issue of negotiations with the US over its tariffs. But officials related to trade were absent from the meeting. During the meeting, Lee called for efforts to mend inter-Korean ties. He was also reportedly briefed by the Ministry of National Defense on security issues, including an early ]]>

Moments later, we learned that the threat had come from an untraceable email claiming that four pipe bombs had been planted “to honor the J6 hostages recently released by Emperor Trump.” Sadly, I wasn’t surprised.

The increase, from 10,030 won to 10,320 won ($7.51), marks the first such accord among labor, business and public interest representatives since 2008. The importance of this agreement lies less in the numerical increase than in the process by which it was reached. For the first time in 17 years, the commission finalized its proposal ]]>

That is by design: Like European fascists in the 20th century, Trump knows that it is far easier to manipulate and suppress an overwhelmed, divided, and disoriented public than an informed, engaged and assured one.

The plan aims at investing heavily in nine regional national universities to raise their “level” to close to Seoul National University.

Delayed initially to take effect on July 9, the new tariff regime has now been postponed again until August 1, giving countries a few more weeks to negotiate. The delay was not a gesture of goodwill but a tactical maneuver. Trump&apos;s initial negotiation timeline was unrealistically short, virtually guaranteeing failure.
