A case of school bullying
Earlier this year, “The Glory,” a Korean drama series that screened on an OTT platform, became the most-watched non-English program in just a matter of weeks despite dealing with the difficult topic of school bullying. The word 'bullying' seems too facile a term for the kind of violence meted out to the victim in the drama which amounted to grievous bodily harm who has third-...

Germany's self-centered war debate
Germany's self-centered war debate
Two months after Russia's invasion of Ukraine last year, Jurgen Habermas, perhaps Germany's leading public intellectual, published a commentary that triggered one of the country's most ferocious political debates in decades. Habermas asked how Germany should position itself in the widening Russian-Ukrainian war. Germans still haven't reached any agreement on an answer.

Russian nuclear roulette
Ahead of its widely expected spring offensive in Ukraine, Russia announced its decision to suspend its participation in New START, a landmark nuclear arms control treaty between the United States and Russia, which has recently been extended to Feb. 4, 2026. This decision is the latest in a series of Russian attempts to pressure the West through nuclear blackmail.

The left's capital punishment
The left's capital punishment
In the traditional (and somewhat outdated) distinction between left and right, left-wing parties represent workers, while right-wing parties represent the owners of capital. When the left is in charge, according to this view, it tends to use its power to reduce the share of national income that goes to capital, either through raising corporate taxes or taxing personal capital...

Korea-Japan relations at crossroads
Korea-Japan relations at crossroads
What a difference an administration makes. Japan has transformed from a “perpetrator” of “crimes against humanity” under the former Moon Jae-in administration into a “partner that shares universal values with us” under the current Yoon Seok Yul administration, at least according to March 1 Independence Movement Day speeches. The contrast is sharp and shows quite clearly the d...

Corporate governance fight over SM Entertainment
In a rare event that happens every decade or so, a war is being waged around SM Entertainment, one of the most successful entertainment companies in South Korea, which manages several world-famous K-pop groups. This time, the struggle for management control is between Kakao, the internet conglomerate, and HYBE, another K-pop company that has the ridiculously popular group BTS...

China as 'honest broker'
WASHINGTON - We don't have to be told how disappointing the Chinese as moderators or hosts in negotiations are. The failure of the six-party talks on North Korea, run by China from 2003 to 2007, should be enough to convince anyone that talks hosted by Beijing will go nowhere.

No shortcuts on road to reunification
“Reunification can happen suddenly, so only when we are prepared can we realize it,” South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol said while attending a policy briefing from the unification ministry on Jan. 27. His remarks caused a big stir for suggesting the possibility of the imminent collapse of the current North Korean regime.
