Richard III and Korean politics
A medieval king seldom makes 21st century front pages, but one who breathed his last on Aug. 22, 1485, has managed it. The discovery of a mutilated skeleton beneath a car park in central England has refocused interest on one of history and literature’s most notorious figures.

'The Chairman is a Gangster'
With hallyu likely to continue wowing global markets in 2013 I am furiously working on a Korea-set feature film script.

Korea branders' problems
By Andrew SalmonYou’d think they could get the date right. In October, a Korean ad appeared on a billboard in New York’s Times Square. Its copy suggested that Japan should make a “heartfelt” apology to the “comfort women.” Its graphic showed then-West German Chancellor Willi Brandt kneeling before the monument to the Warsaw Ghetto.I don’t have an issue with the general idea. I agree that a high-profile Japanese individual (the emperor?) should benchmark Brandt and take a knee before Koreans. This should be done not because Japanese have refused to ap...
