Decision to abandon hope
Decision to abandon hope
Former President Park Geun-hye attended a flamboyant military parade marking the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II in Beijing in 2015, standing on the reviewing stand at Tiananmen Square alongside Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Finalization of the Korean Peninsula's peace process
Finalization of the Korean Peninsula's peace process
The continuing separation between North and South Korea has made the Korean Peninsula a subject of global attention for several decades. The division at hand is a consequence of a multifaceted interplay of historical, geopolitical and ideological elements, originating from the period of the Cold War. The Korean Peninsula continues to be one of the few unsolved remnants of tha...

Downtown Seoul's hidden space: suitable for underground live music venue
A previously unknown underground space has been found below the city center. Currently being called the “hidden space” (“sumeun gonggan” in Korean), it is shrouded in mystery - but not a particularly ugly history, like the Japanese air raid shelter next to Gyeonghui Palace or the secret bunker of Yeouido. It’s just a discarded, forgotten corridor that was probably intended fo...

Korean-style parent diplomacy is killing teachers
Over the summer, my 11-year-old boy visited his grandparents in Seoul, where his slightly older cousin lived. Although his cousin, who was in 7th grade, had a summer vacation from late July to mid-August, my son was able to see him only on the weekends, if he was lucky. The cousin, who lives in the ultra-competitive area of Gangnam, had to go to various “hagwons,” or private ...

Korea-Central Asia Parliamentary Speakers' Summit, a new kind of partnership with Central Asia
The epicenter of today’s political world in South Korea could well be the arrest warrant for the Democratic Party of Korea leader Lee Jae Myung in the National Assembly. But as I have argued earlier, it is a natural outcome of much earlier events. I foresaw it coming.

Making the most of Africa's strategic green minerals
ADDIS ABABA - With the global transition to cleaner technologies underway, Africa has the natural resources to race ahead. The continent is a major producer of the raw materials that will fuel the green revolution - including, for example, 70% of the world’s cobalt, which is essential for electric-vehicle batteries. According to the United States Geological Survey, Africa als...

What it means to love
Except for the heat wave, this summer was like any other. Groups of people fanned out over the city with placards denouncing the LGBTQIA+ community. They even coerced the Seoul Metropolitan Government to cancel a permit for the annual Pride event at City Hall Plaza. These people were mostly concerned with what their placards called “homosex.” I suppose we can imagine what the...

Kim and Putin recreate Cold War
The Cold War has returned to the Korean Peninsula after more than 30 years. And it is colder than ever. The meeting between North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Vostochny Cosmodrome in the Russian Far East marks a significant watershed.

Measuring corruption in China
Measuring corruption in China
MADISON/NEW YORK - Bribery of public officials remains a major problem across the developing world and in some developed countries, too. Studies have repeatedly shown that graft impedes economic growth and development, prompting governments around the world to intensify their efforts to root out corruption. China’s anti-corruption drive stands out in this regard, having led t...
