INTERVIEW'We need to incentivize corporations, banks in tackling social issues'
Corporations and banks should get more involved in solving the problems facing the communities they belong to in order to gain more of the public's acceptance and therefore grow on a sustainable basis. One way to encourage them to do that is to describe their social contributions in dollar terms to help the investors decide which firm they will put their money into, a scholar...

President Moon Jae-in makes irreversible 'all-in' bet
Will President Moon Jae-in make a U-turn on his key policies that are alienating the public in order to recover his sagging approval? His approval rating has dipped below 50 percent for the first time since he took office 18 months ago. You would be wrong to think President Moon would reverse the minimum wage rises, revoke the exit from nuclear power in the nation's energy mi...

Saving ROK-US alliance
US CAMP HUMPREYS, Pyeongtaek - The change of command ceremony at Barker Field in U.S. Camp Humphreys Thursday, carried with it a complicated set of changes in sentiment, history and uncertainty about the ROK-U.S. alliance.

The Beatles, not BTS, suck
My dear friend Prof. David Tizzard deserves more white hairs and wrinkles, not for the wisdom he usually displays in his lectures and columns but for a show of rigidity atypical of him.

Echoes from Wall Street man Gekko
SAN FRANCISCO - In the 1987 Hollywood film “Wall Street,” the protagonist, Gordon Gekko, famously says, “… greed is, for the lack of a better word, good. … Greed clarifies, cuts through and captures the evolutionary path.”

Pompeo's meat obsession
Is U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo a steak man or a pork man? It is unclear whether he is for either, but there is no doubt he is a "meat man." Also unclear is the effectiveness of his meaty metaphor regarding North Korea.

Trump's unrequited love
Recently, U.S. President Donald Trump professed his love for North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in a rather peculiar way. Trump made his public confession as if his love was something like that between a man and woman. “We fell in love,” he told a West Virginia crowd explaining their love had its ups and downs, tugs and pushes. “Really,” he reassured the crowd when they laughed ...

What if intruder into US envoy's house was a terrorist?
What if it had been a terrorist? That must be what crossed the mind of U.S. Ambassador Harry Harris. About 10 p.m. on Sept. 3, an intruder was caught prowling Habib House, the U.S. ambassador's residence in downtown Seoul. It is said Harris is not happy with the intrusion and the lack of adequate follow-up measures by Korean police.
