Putting down markers
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un made his opening bid in dealing with the new administration of President Joe Biden at the eighth congress of the ruling Workers' Party, which ended last week. The congress was deliberately held before Biden's inauguration this week to send a message on how Pyongyang views the situation.

Un-American
When is an American film not an American film? That is the controversy surrounding the critically acclaimed, mainly Korean-language movie, “Minari,” directed by a Yale-educated Korean American filmmaker, Lee Isaac Chung.

Arms control
U.S. President-elect Joe Biden has the opportunity to forge a new path in terms of U.S. policy toward North Korea by embracing the idea that an arms control agreement with Pyongyang rather than denuclearization should be Washington's immediate primary goal.

Korean-Americans in Congress
Several months before the U.S. elections in November, I was talking with a Korean Embassy official in Washington, D.C. He was bemoaning the fact that there was only one Korean-American in the U.S. Congress and wished that more would be elected to reflect accurately their presence in American society.

Korea and China in Biden era
If there was one overarching theme about President Donald Trump's policy toward Asia, it was growing power competition with China. This was reflected not only in an escalating trade war, but also in Washington strengthening relations with Japan, India and Australia, members of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue or the so-called Quad bloc, to counter China's increasing influence in Asia.

Biden's Korea policy
It is pretty clear what President-elect Joe Biden's Korea policy will be. He will restore the battered alliance with South Korea, including a quick resolution of differences over defense burden sharing raised by President Donald Trump. He will also take a tougher line on North Korea than Trump.

Moon's troubled green energy policy
While President Moon Jae-in has been praised for his handling of the COVID-19 outbreak, his efforts to address another global issue - climate change - appear to be sputtering.

Election rigging
U.S. President Donald Trump has claimed he can only lose the presidential election on Nov. 3 if it is rigged against him. Similar claims about the conservative opposition's landslide defeat in Korea's April parliamentary elections have already been made by some of its supporters in both Korea and the United States.

Topsy-turvy ties
As the 2020 U.S. presidential elections approach, it is extraordinary to see how the Trump administration has transformed America's relations with the Korean Peninsula over the past four years.

No need to worry
The Seoul stock market has been the world's third-best performing bourse so far this year, just behind China and the U.S. One reason is that like China, Korea is seen as getting COVID-19 under control despite occasional renewed outbreaks. Another reason is that like the U.S., Korea has invested lots of financial resources to stabilize the economy.
