Red card to Kim Jong-un
The world should stop pampering North Korea. The latest lesson in point is the 2022 Qatar World Cup football qualifying match held in the North's capital, Pyongyang, Oct. 15. The North blocked a live TV broadcast, allowed no international media and had the game played in a literally empty stadium that can seat 50,000. On returning home, South Korea captain Son Heung-min said ...

Who framed Roger Rabbit - in Cheong Wa Dae?
Who framed Roger Rabbit? In Cheong Wa Dae, that is. What does the 1988 animation/ live action movie have to do with the presidential office? How about a resemblance between Mr. Rabbit and Kim Hyun-chong, second deputy at the National Security Office (NSO)? To some observers, the two have the same startled looks of a bunny but the appearance is not the most of what they have i...

You don't represent us
We need a political party to represent you and me, who are sitting out big demonstrations irrespective of flavors: conservative taegukki or progressive candlelight. (The name of the national flag is used because those in the category often carry the flags during the rallies, but I adopt the lower case to connote they do not represent the entire nation). Our party would be a m...

Moon's conflict of interest
President Moon Jae-in used an interesting phrase that captured his political conviction, as well as the dilemma it causes, on a Facebook posting when he returned from his recent trip to the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

Would IOC let Nazi flags fly in Berlin?
Why is the International Olympic Committee (IOC) so tolerant of Japan's use of the Rising Sun flag, the symbol of the country's imperial adventurism?

Japanese foreign minister's lame excuse
Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Kono's view on the ongoing dispute with Korea is disappointing because it lacks universal respect for basic human rights and is worrisome because it may recommit Japan to its past mistakes. The Kono claim provides grounds for reflection regarding what is the best way to prevent an aggressor country from waging war again: the Treaty of Versailles...

Korea's open rebellion against US
Although few have said it out loud, Korea's decision to pull out of its three-year-old military intelligence sharing pact with Japan despite strong U.S. objections is nothing less than open rebellion. It marks a major departure from the role of junior partner that Korea plays in its alliance with the U.S., coming as U.S. regional stewardship is being challenged by the growing...

GSOMIA decision: Moon Jae-in's nuclear option
Not long after President Roh Moo-hyun took office in 2003, he gathered presidential aides and discussed how to lead and govern the nation. There was near-consensus against Roh's visit to the United States, espoused by former activists among the Roh aides who saw the U.S. as a supporter of the previous dictatorships they fought against.

Trump turns USFK into 'transactional' army
U.S. Forces Korea (USFK) is under attack not by enemy but by its own commander-in-chief, President Donald Trump. Trump is prioritizing the size of the bill host Korea pays toward upkeep and is indulging himself in an unwarranted bromance with the head of the enemy. The risk is bringing confusion to the mission and raison d'etre of the peacekeepers and freedom fighters who hav...

We Koreans are emotional and rational
Amid heightened tension after Japan's retaliatory trade sanctions against Korea, I met some foreigners who observed that Koreans are “emotional” compared with Japan's reputed exterior calmness and purposefulness. Even some domestic media outlets editorialized a cautionary tale against an “emotional” approach to Japan. The foreigners' definition of emotional likely indicates t...
