Defense ministry to dismantle counterintelligence command

The Defense Counterintelligence Command (DCC) will be dismantled and its functions will be dispersed among newly established organizations, as part of the Ministry of National Defense's plan to reduce the unit's unchecked power. The ministry unveiled a sweeping reform plan on Wednesday, after the military intelligence agency drew criticism for being misused by former President Yoon Suk Yeol as part of his Dec. 3, 2024, martial law declaration. The ministry said the overhaul is intended to prevent any future political involvement of military intelligence organizations by dismantling the concentration of power in the DCC. “The reform plan goes beyond a simple organizational restructuring or adjustment of functions,” Defense Minister Ahn Gyu-back said during a press conference. “This will serve as a historic watershed in rebuilding our military intelligence apparatus so that it can never again become involved in politics.” Under the plan, the command will be dissolved and its functions split among three separate organizations. A defense counterintelligence headquarters will be set up

Kakao union holds 1st-ever walkout over bonus pay dispute

Tech giant Kakao’s labor union staged its first-ever walkout on Wednesday, escalating a dispute with management over performance-based compensation after labor and management failed to reach an agreement. It is rare for a labor union in the IT industry to launch a strike. The industry is closely watching how the labor dispute at Kakao develops, as it could affect bonus talks in other companies across the sector. The union staged a partial strike from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Wednesday. The walkout included employees from Kakao and its affiliates — Kakao Pay, Kakao Enterprise, DK Techin and XL Games. According to the union, about 1,500 workers across the five entities, including around 1,000 employees from Kakao itself, took part in the action. About 800 union members also held a sit-in rally in front of Kakao’s Pangyo office in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, followed by an 800-meter march from Pangyo Station on the Shinbundang Line. “Management failures resulted from management decisions, so why should workers bear the burden through restructuring and layoffs?” a union official said

KOSPI rout pushes forced stock sales to highest level in nearly 3 years

The recent increase in stock market volatility is raising fears that retail investors who used borrowed funds to buy stocks could face heavy losses, analysts said Wednesday. Warning signs surrounding leveraged bets intensified after forced liquidations during last week’s sharp KOSPI decline climbed to their highest level in nearly three years. Data from the Korea Financial Investment Association showed that actual forced liquidations against outstanding margin loans surged to 166.2 billion won ($109 million) on Friday, when the benchmark KOSPI tumbled 5.54 percent. The figure was sharply higher than the 16.8 billion won to 33.1 billion won range recorded between June 1 and 4. It marked the highest level since Oct. 20, 2023, when forced liquidations soared to a record 549.7 billion won due to massive unpaid margin balances triggered by the trading halt of Young Poong Paper. The ratio of forced liquidations to margin loans reached 9.1 percent also on Friday, the highest level this year. In margin trading, investors buy stocks with short-term funds borrowed from brokerage firms. Although o

Lee's approval rating falls nearly 10% following local elections

President Lee Jae Myung offered an apology Wednesday following a poll showing a sharp drop in his approval rating, pledging to work harder with greater inclusiveness. "I humbly accept the objective assessment of the people," Lee wrote on his X account, citing a news report of a recent public poll that showed his approval rating falling 9.4 percentage points to 50.4 percent. "I am sorry to the people," he said. "I will work hard, more humbly, with broader outreach and greater inclusiveness," the president said. Lee had enjoyed approval ratings hovering around 60 percent. Another recent poll, conducted by Realmeter and released Monday, also showed Lee's approval rating dropping by 3.9 percentage points to 55.2 percent from a week earlier. Lee is currently visiting Belgium as part of his trip to Europe, which will later take him to Italy and then to France, where he is set to join the Group of Seven (G7) leaders for a summit as the head of an invited partner nation.

Samsung mulls new chip packaging plant in Gwangju

Samsung Electronics is doing a feasibility study on establishing a semiconductor packaging plant in the southwestern city of Gwangju, government and industry officials said Wednesday, noting that plans will likely be announced during a presidential meeting later this month. According to officials, Samsung Electronics is now reviewing its investment plan for the new semiconductor packaging plant to address growing memory chip demands and in response to President Lee Jae Myung's push for more balanced regional development. If the plan is finalized, the facility is expected to be responsible for advanced semiconductor packaging for Samsung Electronics' latest chips, including high-bandwidth memory (HBM). Packaging, which comes after the fabrication process in semiconductor manufacturing, was traditionally regarded as a lower-value, less technologically demanding stage, compared with front-end wafer processing, where ultrafine circuits are etched onto wafers using highly sophisticated equipment. However, as artificial intelligence semiconductors become increasingly advanced, the ability to

Unification advisory vice chief expects US-NK talks around US midterms

Kang Chang-il, senior vice chair of a presidential advisory on unification policy, said he expected talks between North Korea and the United States will resume in the second half of this year, around the U.S. midterm elections in November. “North Korea and the U.S. will likely hold talks around the Trump administration’s midterm elections, potentially late this year or early next year,” Kang, senior vice chair of the Peaceful Unification Advisory Council (PUAC), said Wednesday at his first press conference since taking office on April 17. The PUAC is a presidential advisory body mandated by the Constitution to promote peaceful unification through policy consultation, consensus building and international outreach. President Lee Jae Myung serves as an ex officio chairperson of the body. Kang, a veteran four-term lawmaker who previously served as ambassador to Japan, added that “Washington had no room to maneuver due to the war with Iran ... Once the U.S.-Israel war with Iran ends, the North Korea issue will take center stage as the last major unresolved global conflict. The focus

Step inside Joseon king's office at Deoksu Palace this June

Seoul's royal palaces offer visitors a journey through Korea's dynastic past, from ceremonial throne halls to tranquil gardens tucked behind stone walls. Deoksu Palace is one of Seoul's five major royal palaces, alongside Gyeongbok Palace, Changdeok Palace, Changgyeong Palace and Gyeonghui Palace. Together, they offer visitors a window into more than five centuries of Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910) history. Gyeongbok Palace, the largest and most visited, is known for its imposing gates and ceremonial halls. Changdeok Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is famed for its harmonious landscape and “Secret Garden.” Changgyeong Palace is known for its spacious grounds and tranquil atmosphere, while Gyeonghui Palace offers visitors a quieter experience away from the crowds. Deoksu Palace stands out for its striking mix of traditional Korean and Western-style architecture, reflecting Korea's transition into the modern era. With palace visits ranking among the most popular activities for travelers, a new exhibition at Deoksu Palace provides an opportunity to experience royal life from an unus

AI glasses used in TOEIC cheating case in Korea for 1st time

Cheating attempts using artificial intelligence (AI) smart glasses were caught during a Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC) last month, the first such cases detected on one of Korea's most widely taken English proficiency exams. YBM Korea TOEIC Committee, which administers the exam in Korea, said Tuesday that two such attempts were caught during last month's regular session, with proctors noticing examinees wearing the devices. One examinee wore glasses that can be purchased through an overseas online retailer, while the other wore a model not yet available in Korea. AI smart glasses are wearable devices that combine cameras, microphones and speakers with generative AI. First released in Korea last month, the glasses can analyze whatever the camera captures and display the results directly on the lens, with no smartphone required. An examinee looking at a test sheet could see answers and translations appear in real time, making the devices highly susceptible to misuse. To address the risk, the committee has been training proctors to identify various forms of electroni

SpaceX fever drives Korean investors to space-themed ETFs

Korean investors are rushing to gain exposure to SpaceX ahead of its Nasdaq debut, pouring money into space-themed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as the Elon Musk-led company prepares for one of the largest initial public offerings (IPOs) in history, market watchers said Wednesday. The U.S. space giant is scheduled to begin trading on Nasdaq Friday (local time). SpaceX reportedly drew about $150 billion in investor demand during the book-building process, roughly double its fundraising target. If the offering proceeds as expected, it would be valued at about $1.75 trillion, potentially making it one of the 10 most valuable publicly traded companies in the United States. The anticipated listing has sparked strong interest among Korean investors across both institutional and retail channels. Mirae Asset Securities' second subscription offering for professional investors tied to the SpaceX IPO was fully subscribed in about two minutes on Monday morning, following a first round last Friday that closed in roughly one minute. The offering sought to raise a total of $500 million. Retail investors

Korea, China urged to deepen tech cooperation despite intensifying competition

Korea and China should seek deeper cooperation in emerging technologies despite growing competition and worsening global fragmentation, scholars said Tuesday, arguing that no country can dominate the next wave of innovation alone. The remarks came at the Gather in Shenzhen forum at Hanyang University in Seoul, part of a three-day event organized by Shenzhen Media Group ahead of this year’s Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting in Shenzhen. Speaking at a session on technology innovation, Lee Hee-ok, emeritus dean of Sungkyun Institute of China Studies, said Korea's ambition to become one of the world's top three artificial intelligence (AI) powers would require strategic investment and international collaboration. "Every country today is moving within a similar framework of competition," Lee pointed out. "No country can win in every field." Instead, Korea should focus on becoming a "strategic linchpin" — ensuring that the global technology ecosystem cannot function without Korean capabilities, he said. Lee said Korea's strengths lie in memory semiconductors and precision man

Filipino killer of Korean businessman nabbed as Lee hails arrest

A dismissed high-ranking Philippine police officer convicted of orchestrating the 2016 killing of Korean businessman Jee Ick-joo has been arrested in Manila after nearly two years on the run, authorities said Wednesday. President Lee Jae Myung welcomed the arrest, vowing to seek justice for criminals targeting Korean citizens abroad and expressing gratitude to officials in both countries for their joint efforts. Rafael Dumlao, who was a top official of an anti-drug unit within the Philippine National Police at the time of the killing, was apprehended at around 5:15 a.m. on Tuesday (local time), according to Korea’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The mastermind behind Jee's killing had been in hiding since the Philippine Supreme Court upheld a lower court ruling that convicted him and sentenced him to at least 30 years in prison. The case involved the abduction and killing of Jee inside the national police headquarters in 2016. With the direct involvement of several active-duty and former police officers, the case shocked both countries as it exposed serious corruption within law enforce

Korea's only giant panda family welcomes new cub

Korea's only giant panda family has grown once again. Everland, the country's only zoo housing giant pandas, announced Wednesday that female panda Ai Bao gave birth to a healthy female cub on June 3, marking the third successful giant panda birth in Korea. The newborn joins her older sisters — Fu Bao, born in 2020, and twin sisters Rui Bao and Hui Bao, born in 2023 — making Ai Bao and her mate Le Bao the parents of four daughters. The birth carries added significance as 2026 marks the 10th anniversary of Everland Panda World and a decade of joint panda conservation research between South Korea and China. According to Everland, operated by Samsung C&T's resort division, Ai Bao, 12, gave birth about two hours after labor began. The cub was born at approximately 10:53 a.m. weighing 171 grams.

New gallery at old Seoul Station retraces Korea’s railroad history

A closed railway platform that had been the de facto center of Korea’s railroad operation until its closure in 2004 has been transformed into a gallery that travels back to the venue's past. Korea Railroad Corp. (KORAIL), a state-run railway operator, hosted an opening ceremony for a new gallery at the old station building on Wednesday, a day before its public opening. The gallery will run through Aug. 17. Built in 1925 during the Japanese colonial rule (1910-45), the former station building serviced trains until KTX high-speed trains began operating at the new Seoul Station next to the century-old building. In 2011, the old building was reopened as Culture Station Seoul 284, serving as a cultural space and hosting occasional art events since. The gallery, named “Seoul Station 2026: Where Memory Meets Movement,” introduces media, installations and archived photos prepared by 15 artists. The gallery, run by art director Kim Mi-youn, invites visitors to explore the old station, which has preserved most of its functions including the stationmaster’s room, VIP Room, the waiting hall

Outgoing PM gains ground as next ruling party leader with president’s support

Prime Minister Kim Min-seok is gaining momentum as the potential next leader of the ruling Democratic Party of Korea (DPK), with President Lee Jae Myung publicly praising his leadership and bringing him along to an official event. The development stands in stark contrast with incumbent DPK Chairman Jung Chung-rae, who is seeking reelection but has come under criticism for the party's losses in several key races in last week's local elections. Jung was not invited to attend the aforementioned event. Kim offered his resignation and formally declared his candidacy for the DPK leadership Sunday, writing on social media that after serving as prime minister throughout the president’s first year in office, his next mission is "to build a strong and capable DPK that can overcome entrenched resistance and realize the spirit of the times represented by the Lee administration." “Politics is about realizing the spirit of the times, and firmly supporting the Lee administration's vision is both the wish of the people and the mission of the DPK’s 1 million members,” Kim wrote.

Minister of Employment and Labor Kim Young-hoon and Federation of Korean Trade Unions President Kim Dong-myeong also participated as representatives of the government and labor, respectively. Sohn said AI is driving a profound transformation of socioeconomic structures and the way people live and work, stressing the need to create an environment that fosters entrepreneurship and innovation. "Every country must swiftly reform outdated laws and institutions that no longer fit the demands of the times," he said. "In Korea's case, it is urgent to make labor market regulations, such as strong protections for regular workers and a standardized working-hour system, more flexible."

Korean oil tanker arrives off Ulsan after exiting Strait of Hormuz

A Korean oil tanker arrived off the southeastern port city of Ulsan on Wednesday, about three weeks after exiting the Strait of Hormuz, where it had been stranded amid tensions in the Middle East. The very large crude carrier (VLCC) Universal Winner, operated by Korean shipping company HMM, reached waters near Ulsan, about 300 kilometers southeast of Seoul, carrying 2 million barrels of Kuwaiti crude oil. As of 3:30 p.m., the vessel was attempting to berth at SK Energy's offshore crude oil unloading facility with assistance from a pilot and tugboats. The ship was the first of 26 Korean vessels stranded near the Strait of Hormuz following the U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran in late February to leave the area. The tanker had been en route to load Kuwaiti crude when it entered the Strait of Hormuz on Feb. 28, the day the United States and Israel launched military strikes against Iran. The Universal Winner was allowed to depart under an agreement reached between Korea and Iran on May 20. The cargo belongs to SK Trading International, the crude oil trading arm of SK Group.

ReviewSpielberg returns to familiar territory with ‘Disclosure Day’

Master of science fiction Steven Spielberg returns to the world of extraterrestrials with “Disclosure Day,” his fourth film centered on alien encounters. Nearly five decades after “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” (1977) and more than 20 years after “War of the Worlds” (2005), the veteran filmmaker attempts to combine the sense of wonder that defined his earlier works with the tension of a modern political thriller. The story expands on themes explored in “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial” (1982) and “War of the Worlds.” Unlike those films, however, “Disclosure Day” focuses less on the aliens themselves and more on humanity’s response to them. At the center of the story is Wardex, a secretive military organization that has hidden evidence of extraterrestrial life for decades while conducting controversial experiments on alien visitors. The plot begins when Daniel Kellner (Josh O’Connor) decides to leak classified information about the coverup. A cybersecurity expert working inside Wardex, he risks everything to expose the

InterviewHandong Global University seeks to build worldwide Christian academic network

Handong Global University in Pohang, North Gyeongsang Province, is pursuing a globalization strategy that goes well beyond conventional student exchanges — aiming to become a hub connecting Christian universities, professionals and organizations across the globe. “We envision the university becoming a hub that opens a new chapter in global Christian higher education by expanding partnerships not only with institutions in advanced countries, but also with universities across developing regions, including Africa and South America,” Park Seong-jin, the university's president, told The Korea Times in a recent interview. Park said the school plans to establish joint-degree programs with leading Christian institutions in the United States, including Liberty University and Wheaton College, to deepen academic collaboration and global connectivity. "Our goal is to create a campus where Handong students can venture out into the world while talented students from across the globe come to study at Handong," he said.

Election watchdog launches fact-finding team to look into ballot shortages

The National Election Commission's (NEC) fact-finding committee held its inaugural meeting Wednesday to launch an investigation into an unprecedented shortage of ballots reported during last week's local elections. The committee, comprised of external experts, seeks to determine the exact cause of the incident and come up with preventive measures after ballot shortages were reported at more than a dozen polling stations in Seoul, sparking public outrage. "We will reveal the full truth behind the incident through an objective and accurate investigation, and disclose the findings transparently," Cho Hyun-wook, chairperson of the committee, said during the inaugural meeting held at the election watchdog's headquarters in Gwacheon, just south of Seoul. Cho said the committee will "strictly" hold those responsible accountable and seek sweeping measures to ensure that the fairness and integrity of elections are not undermined in the future. She also stressed that the committee members will look into the issue from an "objective and politically neutral" standpoint with a shared commitment to sa

Why are Korean engineering prodigies flocking to Chinese universities?

Why are Korean engineering prodigies flocking to Chinese universities?

Kim Seung-hyun, 17, still remembers the moment he decided to become a robotics engineer. It was while watching a demonstration video of a “wearable robot” developed by the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). In the video, a researcher paralyzed from the waist down slowly stood up from his wheelchair and walked with the help of the robot, which enhanced the wearer’s muscle strength. His eyes fixed on the screen, Kim watched the video over and over again. At that moment, he decided to become a robotics engineer. His childhood as an ardent fan of “Gundam,” the Japanese animation franchise featuring giant robots, also helped. Last year, after sweeping science Olympiads, Kim became an intern at KAIST. He was deciding where to apply for college: KAIST, Seoul National University or perhaps an engineering school in the United States. Then his supervising professor, Lee Pil-seung, made a suggestion Kim had never imagined. “Seung-hyun, have you ever seriously considered engineering schools in China?” For Kim, it was a surreal moment.

Incheon airport immigration on high alert ahead of BTS concert in Busan

The Incheon Airport Immigration Office is on high alert over an anticipated surge in international arrivals ahead of the upcoming BTS concert in the nation’s southeastern port city of Busan. The two-day concert, which kicks off Friday, will attract a huge number of foreign tourists, so the organization has expanded the number of immigration officers on duty for four days starting Wednesday. The immigration office is in charge of overseeing the entry and departure of foreigners at Incheon International Airport. According to data from the authority, the number of foreigners entering through the airport on Thursday is estimated to reach around 48,660, up 15 percent from the previous week. The office plans to deploy additional supervisory and guidance staff throughout inspection halls around the airport and conduct advance monitoring of foreign passenger arrivals by flight to reduce crowding and improve passenger flow. “We remain highly vigilant over the possible influx of foreign tourists and are making concerted efforts to minimize waiting times at immigration checkpoints,” an offici

9 still life photographers claim new spotlight in AI era at Kukje Gallery

In an age when artificial intelligence (AI) can generate slick images in seconds, Kukje Gallery is highlighting the power of a patient gaze and an optical lens. The gallery’s new photography exhibition, “Objects in Oscillation,” brings together nine leading Korean photographers whose still life works reclaim a genre long sidelined in the country’s contemporary art scene. Curated by Koo Bohn-chang, a pioneering photographer and educator who has helped integrate photography into Korean contemporary art, the show is a rare case for a Korean gallery to devote its exhibition spaces solely to still life photography. Koo said he wanted to make visible a group of artists who have been quietly expanding the possibilities of still life while receiving far less attention than their peers in documentary or conceptual photography. “I wanted to show that there are photographers in Korea working in very diverse ways, and that they should receive the attention and evaluation they deserve,” he said during a press walkthrough. Instead of relying on heavy digital manipulation or generative AI,

From temple stays to TV: The rise of Korea's 'hip Buddhism'

In an age overflowing with dopamine-chasing content, travel reality shows have become a small pause for viewers worn down by busy routines. SBS’ new program “Sunim and Sonim: Soul Trip in India” takes that familiar format a step further, adding comfort and practical guidance from the widely respected Buddhist monk Ven. Pomnyun. Premiered on May 19, the show follows Ven. Pomnyun and cast members Noh Hong-chul, Lee Sang-yun, Lee Joo-bin, Lee Ki-taek and Woochan as they travel to India in search of their “true self.” But what seems to be a travel reality show soon takes a more serious turn, moving closer to a documentary and a form of spiritual practice. The celebrity cast members arrive with large suitcases, only to be told to leave most of their belongings behind and carry just one backpack, a gesture that also points to letting go of desire in Buddhist terms. With only a single backpack, they set out across India not as ordinary tourists, but as people on a spiritual journey, including to parts of the country where hardship is most visible. The show becomes a journey between a
