China's role in making Indo-Pacific Strategy possible
The idea of an Indo-Pacific Strategy (IPS), which was initially considered to be an impossible proposition, appears to be increasingly becoming more real. Although it is still not a definite strategy and there are multiple names for it such as strategy, outlook, vision, idea or framework, in recent years there are more and more countries which have declared their IPS and South Korea is going to join the club very soon.

Tokyo confronts Beijing in more explicit way
Japan appears to be more explicit in its contests with China in recent years. At the East Asian Summit in Cambodia, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida asserted that China's actions are “infringing on Japan's sovereignty” and “escalating tensions” in the region.

North Korea needs urgent attention
North Korean nuclear and missile capabilities have grown alarmingly. In 2022, North Korea conducted several missile tests and according to South Korean Unification Minister Kwon Young-se, these tests seek to “tame South Korea.” The unification minister feels that there are two other reasons for North Korea's incessant missile tests. One, North Korea wants to upgrade its weapons and two, North Korea wants to draw the attention of the U.S. government.

North Korea's 'new' nuclear posture
North Korea's Supreme People's Assembly (SPA) passed a new law regarding its nuclear posture. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in his speech at an Assembly session elucidated the law Sept. 8, saying that his country would launch an “automatic” and “immediate” nuclear strike if it is attacked by “hostile forces.”

'Vendetta politics' in Korea
Is it true that Korea's people and economy are of the highest grade but its politics is disappointing? The question is posed as the current Korean administration has been allegedly trying to find faults with the previous Moon Jae-in administration.

'ABCD strategy' or New Southern Policy
After coming to power, South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol proposed the so-called “ABCD strategy” (advance human capital, build health security, connect cultures, and digitize Asian infrastructure) toward Southeast Asian countries and India.

South Korea's diplomatic olive branch to Japan and obstacles ahead
President-elect Yoon Suk-yeol is seeking to improve bilateral relations between South Korea and Japan. Unlike other Korean leaders, he is a neophyte and it is expected that he may reintroduce a “future-oriented” relationship with Japan.

Prospect of South Korea joining Quad
With the victory of Yoon Suk-yeol in the March 9 presidential election, it is being speculated that South Korea may decide to formally join the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (Quad).

Justice and wartime forced labor
In 1924, a British court gave a very famous axiom of jurisprudence. It said, “Not only must justice be done, but it also must be seen to be done.” While keeping the essence of the axiom intact, let's paraphrase it: “Justice must not only be seen to be done, but it must be done.”

Fruitless Japanese imprudence
The deputy head of the Japanese Embassy in Seoul, Hirohisa Soma, reportedly said on July 15 that South Korean President Moon Jae-in has been “masturbating” and in a “tug-of-war only with himself.” He wanted to convey that Moon's attempts to have a summit with Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga during the Tokyo Olympics opening ceremony were useless.
