What Korea can learn from Lim Jae-bum
Without a doubt, Lim Jae-bum must be the comeback story of the year. Once a forgotten, over-the-hill rocker, Lim came back with a vengeance in the popular imagination after his appearances on the new hit show, “I Am a Singer.”

Japan’s 99-yen leadership
I am writing this in the immediate aftermath of Japan’s victory over the U.S. in the Women’s World Cup 2011. Although I am heartbroken that my side couldn’t hold on to win, what a thrill and privilege it was to watch the proverbial underdog beat out the big dogs and win the whole thing.

Kimchi for Buddha
My brother and I were picky eaters when we were small. Our mother would often have to resort to playing childish games to trick us into eating. One of the games was called, “This is so good that even Buddha would eat it!”

You graduated. Now choose!
This is graduation season in America. And I am sure that all you new graduates have been inundated by questions from family and friends asking: “How do you feel?”

Greensboro Four in Jasmine Revolution
The central question to the recent historic wave of Middle East protests is, “Why now?” I mean, no one could have predicted on Jan. 1 that heretofore stable countries in the Middle East, which has no tradition of democracy or mass political activism, would be the site of one of the most riveting and gratifying demonstrations of activist followership since Corazon Aquino came to power in the Philippines.

Seo Tai-jis betrayal
I actually remember watching Seo Tai-ji and the Boys’ debut TV appearance back in the early 1990s. I recall that it was a sort of a competition between new musical acts, with Seo Tai-ji and the Boys taking home the second prize with their song, “I know!”

Is maternity tourism bad for America?
A recent New York Times report on Chinese women titled, “Arriving as Pregnant Tourists, Leaving with American Babies,” sparked a heated public debate on the heretofore presumed right for babies born on American soil to claim U.S. citizenship, regardless of whether the parents are American citizens or even legally residing in the U.S.

Why do we believe Shin Jeong-ah?
Forget about Libya and the breathtaking fight for freedom that’s playing out with the world as its witness. Even forget about the biggest earthquake in Japan in a century that killed over 10,000 and counting, with the ticking bomb of a nuclear disaster waiting in the wings.
