    <![CDATA[A Supreme Court ruling on Nov. 6 has thrust Jongmyo, the stately Confucian royal shrine in central Seoul, into the heart of a debate over heritage preservation and development. The court ruled in favor of a city ordinance to relax height restrictions near Jongmyo as part of a redevelopment plan for the area around Sewoon Sangga. The ruling prompted a strong response from the Korea Heritage Service, the central government agency in charge of heritage preservation. Jongmyo became one of the first ]]>

    <![CDATA[It began with a flicker on a smartphone screen. A counselor for North Korean defectors found her device suddenly wiped clean, her contacts hijacked and a fake “stress relief program” sent to friends through her account. Days later, an activist’s phone met the same fate. Both had unknowingly become pawns in North Korea’s newest front: a conflict fought not with missiles or tanks, but with malware. These attacks marked a disturbing evolution. The hackers were traced to Konni, a network tied to Kim]]>

Chief prosecutors for districts across the country are pressing the acting prosecutor general for a convincing explanation about his decision to waive the appeal, effectively demanding his resignation.

Takaichi is a member of the Liberal Democratic Party, which has recently lost public support due to political funding scandals and has suffered successive historic defeats in major elections.

Some hail the decision as a long-awaited milestone, arguing that it strengthens South Korea’s deterrence posture against North Korea’s nuclear threat and signals that Seoul is finally acquiring the prestige of a major power. Others, however, warn that it may look like a step toward nuclear proliferation, undermining decades of Kore]]>

We might think that we are angels, and that others are demons who we would do well to hunt down and eliminate from society. In these moods, it seldom occurs to us that there may be bad humans and good demons — or beings who are half-human, half-demon. “KPop Demon Hunters” delve]]>

Within the seven major OECD economies, government debt ranged from 62 percent of GDP in Germany to 222 percent of GDP in Japan. In Korea, it slightly exceeded 50 percent of GDP.

    <![CDATA[South Korea’s population is aging at a pace its economy and laws have yet to match. The debate over raising the statutory retirement age to 65 has become a matter of national urgency. The country became a superaged society this year, and a widening “income void” now separates the retirement age of 60 from the national pension’s starting point of 65. For millions of second-generation baby boomers born between 1964 and 1973, that gap has become a financial chasm. The ruling bloc, led by the Democr]]>

What was billed as a temporary measure quickly expanded — and never truly ended. The “state of emergency” was renewed repeatedly, granting the president sweeping authority to rule by decree. Venezuela’s legislature was sidelined, dissent was criminalized and democratic institutions were hollowed out under the guise of crisis management. That story may feel distant,]]>

    <![CDATA[South Korea’s 2026 budget has been sold as the blueprint for an AI-powered future. In his budget speech Tuesday, President Lee Jae Myung called it “the nation’s first budget of the AI era,” a financial map to transform the economy through computing power, digital infrastructure and human capital. Yet the same map also exposes a growing fault line in Korea’s public finances. For all the rhetoric about innovation, the deeper question is whether the government can afford its ambition.

    <![CDATA[The recently concluded APEC summit in Gyeongju, Korea, offered more than a ceremonial diplomatic gathering. It delivered scenes so symbolic and revealing that they may well be remembered as inflection points when the world caught a glimpse of future directions. Among countless interactions and formal declarations, five moments stood out for their power to reframe thinking and reshape global dynamics. First, it was a tech titan who stole the show: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. In Seoul, Huang sat shou]]>

The snow from the night before had hardened into ice, and on the frozen asphalt sat several dozen people. There was no chant, no fist, no act of violence. Only silence. In the deep shadows where no streetlight reached, I noticed a young man sitting cross-legged. On the frozen ground before him lay an open Bible. He seemed to have deliberately chosen the place where not even a trace of light could find him. ]]>

He managed to bring about ceasefires on several fronts of a trade war largely of his own making, after imposing tariffs on friends and foes alike.

To be sure, there were some valuable accomplishments. Trump’s meetings in Japan, arguably the most impo]]>

    <![CDATA[We humans are afraid of the unknown. That is why we have feelings of wariness and vigilance when we see strangers or foreigners around us. Sometimes, we may even become hostile to those who are not one of us or who are different from us. This is especially so when we are obsessed with tribalism, ultra-nationalism or dogmatic ideologies, whether political or religious. Nazism, communism and religious dogmatism are good examples. These have one thing in common: They do not tolerate differences. Th]]>

    <![CDATA[South Korea’s stock market has rarely been accused of exuberance. For much of the past decade, it lagged regional peers, weighed down by export dependence, opaque governance and erratic policy. Yet this autumn the mood has shifted. On Monday, the benchmark Kospi broke the 4,000 mark, setting an all-time record high. The surge, driven by foreign capital and a growing belief that the Lee Jae Myung administration has begun to steady the economic helm, has become a moment of national pride. Yet the ]]>

As geopolitical tensions deepen across the Indo-Pacific, both nations must move quickly to finalize the Reciprocal Defense Procurement memorandum of understanding. This long-anticipated agreement would modernize alliance cooperation, expand defense industrial integration and enhance regional deterrence at a time when shared security interests are under growing pressure.

In a different scene, J-Hope is playing with the noodles in a bowl, but he never actually eats them. The promotional shorts focus on other food items with visual concept versions: (1) cheeky neon pepper; (2) knocking basil; and (3) weird garlic.

The result is a market that delivers neither affordability nor stability, and a public that has lost confidence in both builders and bureaucrats. The Lee Jae Myu]]>
