Korea's socialist experiment - not bad but feasible?
Jang Ha-sung, President Moon Jae-in's top adviser, has been going all-out to defend his boss' signature “income-led growth” policy. The former anti-chaebol professor's promotional tour was highlighted by his rare on-the-record meeting with Cheong Wa Dae correspondents on Aug. 26. Jang talked as if back in a classroom, explaining the distribution-oriented three-stage program t...

Naver founder has a job to finish
Can Naver founder Lee Hae-jin save the company, over which he has given up - at least by appearances - most of his control? There was news from France on Thursday. Lee, Korea's dominant portal's global investment officer (GIO), is leading an investment of 258.9 billion won ($227 million) through Naver France, a subsidiary in Europe. Naver is to purchase 2 million new shares i...

Our Boy Scout foreign minister
Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha has habitually underutilized the power of her office and if the first female to get the job can start to use more of it, Korea's diplomacy would be more vibrant and competitive.

Did US know of martial law plan?
Disclosed documents prepared by the military for a takeover of the government bring up shameful memories of coups and dictatorships, and disconcert the nation's collective mind. The Defense Security Command (DSC), which authored a summary and detailed action plan, was headed by Chun Doo-hwan, who staged a coup and brutally suppressed popular protests to rise to power in 1980 ...

Trump's gift, Ssangyong, Minister Song
So Donald Trump and Mike Pompeo did try to give a copy of a CD containing Elton John's “Rocket Man” to Kim Jong-un, North Korea's leader. The U.S. President has admitted that his secretary of state had it, on his orders, during his Pyongyang visit but Pompeo didn't have a chance to give it to Kim because he refused to meet him.

Korea: Amoral society
A society learns from itself. If it is run by rules, fair to members and just in its conduct, that society would become rules-based, fair and just. If not, it would be unruly, unfair and unjust - an amoral society.

How we can outguess Kim Jong-un
At the East Asia Foundation forum in the Plaza Hotel, downtown Seoul, Friday, guest speaker Gregory Treverton, U.S. intelligence expert, took the stage for a discussion about North Korea. Treverton made two interesting points, shedding light on why we have kept spectacularly wrong about the North. Examples abound. If we had been right about the forecast of an implosion, a the...

Moon can slurp gravy from no-beef summit
First, the headline requires explaining. It doesn't mean President Moon Jae-in was impolite enough to make noise while eating but rather he is the only one who can afford to do so among leaders of the three countries in the game of the North's denuclearization.

Is Kim going down Gorbachev's path?
Is North Korea's Kim Jong-un going down the path of the last Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev? The two have converged a lot so far but of course we know about the end of Gorbachev's story, while Kim's remains open-ended. Gorbachev had pushed for glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring) and was hailed for it by western media, but his effort ended up hastening the ...

Kim Jong-un's endgame
A week after the April 27 inter-Korean summit, much of the euphoria _ a strong sense of anticipation about lasting peace on the peninsula _ remains. That sense is, however, based on wishful thinking after full-day coverage bombarded us with President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un holding hands, walking together and dining with their wives.
