Egypt’s democracy is in peril

Unofficial results indicate that the Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohamed Morsi is to become the first democratically elected president in the history of Egypt, with more than 52 percent of the votes against his rival, the former military commander and a remnant of Mubarak's regime, Ahmed Shafiq.

Recently you mentioned that it would be preferable to choose the names Isabella and Sophia for a Korean baby. That would be a mistake as these two names are supposed to become extremely popular within three years. They will be like Jennifer and Jason in the 1970s and 80s.

Is watching TV harmful?

How many hours every day do you spend watching television? Modern people are always looking at their TV sets. For example, the average family turns on the news every morning and watches shows before going to sleep. Also, the development of Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB) means that people can watch anywhere and at any time. This phenomenon appears to be detrimental. How...

Explanation on tragic events

I have to address you in connection with the publication of the article of Nikoloz Apkhazava, Georgian ambassador to Korea, in your daily on May 26-27, 2012, which may mislead your audience on some matters, concerning tragic events in Abkhazia and South Ossetia in August, 2008.

Valuable lesson on Korean racism

I used to teach a course on nationalism in literature at Korea University, which arguably has some of the best and brightest students in South Korea, if not Asia. I designed this course to get students to think critically about the nation-building propaganda that permeates their basic education.

KAIST students have experienced few of the events which are key issues in the actual ongoing debates at KAIST. Students come and graduate but usually the same professors stay for long time. Hence, the actual students at KAIST are less informed than professors about what really takes place.

Lady Gaga's cancellation of concert

I commend Muslim protesters for causing Lady Gaga to cancel her "Born This Way Ball" in Indonesia. Gaga’s music is aimed at the phenomenon of the masses, is industrially produced, and ultimately has to be described as the cult of the banal.

Why KAIST students choose suicide

Very early in the morning on April 17, a senior KAIST student committed suicide. Off campus, it perhaps registered in the minds of the general public as just another statistic because last year, four students and a professor committed suicide here.

Rebuttal on 'Palestinian prisoners'

I take great issue with the article entitled ``Palestinian Prisoners`` reprinted from the Jerusalem Post, that appeared in the weekend edition (May 19-20) of The Korea Times. The article in question attempts to disregard the numerous legitimate complaints by the estimated 1,500 Palestinian prisoners who are currently on hunger strike by referring to two unverified anecdotes. ...

Falsification in film

Having just seen this film set against the 1991 Table Tennis World Championships in Chiba, I looked up the Times preview (by your excellent critic Kwaak Je-yup) from a few weeks ago. The article mentions "the sweat- and tear-soaked trail to victory," but looking up the records for Chiba 1991, I see that the women’s doubles champions were in fact Chen Zihe and Gao Jun of China.
