The National Assembly confirmed Prime Minister-nominee Han Duck-soo at its plenary session Friday. The approval came 47 days after President Yoon Suk-yeol nominated Han and 10 days after the Yoon administration took office. It is belated but welcome that the new administration has ended makeshift operations and now has a formal Cabinet. 국회는 금요일 본회의에서 한덕수 국무총리 후보자를 인준했다. 이번 인준...

[사설 읽기] 전면 재시공
HDC Hyundai Development has decided to demolish all eight apartment buildings at a complex in Gwangju under construction and rebuild them. The builder decided so, judging that it could hardly dissipate would-be residents' safety concerns if it rebuilds only one partially collapsed building. We hope the decision will ultimately serve as an occasion for the company facing a cri...
