Invaluable resource for understanding Korea

I visited Korea recently in October and found The Korea Times an invaluable resource for understanding Korea today. It greatly helped me understand the dynamics of political, business and social life within Korea and the Korean perspective on events in larger Asia.

Are we ready for N. Korea attack?

North Korean leader Kim Jong-eun has frequently threatened to attack South Korea and the United States with missiles. U.S. President Donald Trump has counter-threatened with no less strength. The atmosphere is tense when looked at from outside but Koreans appear very relaxed. If North Korea chooses to launch chemical warfare, missile attacks, or extreme nuclear missile attack...

Chinese media help in effort to usurp India's territory

It is with my deep sense of pain and anguish that I write this letter expressing my deep hurt against the role played by the Chinese media to spit fire on India. In recent days, many editorials have appeared in Chinese government-controlled media to teach India a lesson for stopping the road construction on the India-China border.

Diverse views on Holocaust vs. sex slavery

The case you make is noted. Commiseration is in order. However, it seems that all concerned (past and present) have thrown the word "forgiveness" out of their vocabulary.

If US withdraws, it is on Korea's account

You quote Bruce Bennett of Rand Corporation as stating “If the United States leaves, it won’t come back” was his prediction, in the event that the US and North Korea sign a peace treaty.” He is simply warning, not casting a curse, that Korea is splintering the US-Korea alliance by its ambivalence toward the US As a passionate Korean-American citizen, from this side of the Pacific, Korea comes across as a self-centered, unreliable, ungrateful, irrational, unruly, vociferous, entitled “ally.” I would like to remind you that only the US military intervention, with its treasure and blood, “scoop...

Your German reader in Seoul has been quiet after you had fully convinced me on the NK issue. But agreement is also worth expressing, and this time I have to.

Confused over who is mob

Does rightist irrationality represent the spirit of democracy whereas progressive indignation over power abuse represents Korean absent-mindedness?

Differing opinion can be patriotic

I read your article in the Korean Times with keen interest. l have lived and studied in Korea for about eight years, and followed the political situation in the country closely. Your article was a break from the media coverage of the current turmoil that has engulfed Korea for the past month. l must admit that my knowledge is limited to the English language articles and discussions l have had with my Korean friends. The president has been judged and found guilty in the court of popular opinion. It is very fashionable to insult and call the president names in public, and anyone who holds a co...

Don't blame foreigners

I have read with utmost attention and interest your editorial in The Korea Times on Oct. 21 about “ppalli ppalli” culture in Korea. As a foreigner working in the finance industry in Seoul for two years now, I'm hereby humbly offering my views.
