COVER STORY AI glasses solve 4 CSAT math questions in 10 seconds

At an optical store in Seoul’s Myeong-dong shopping area, I looked through a pair of Rokid artificial intelligence (AI) glasses at a page of four math questions from a mock version of the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT). Within 10 seconds, answers and explanations appeared inside the lenses, before I had even finished making sense of the first question. All four were correct. I then tested the glasses with another math question — this time a calculus problem involving a definite integral. The correct answer appeared in under two seconds. “This is the very product that has been in the controversy lately over cheating,” the optician said. It was a brief demonstration, not a controlled accuracy test. But reading the solutions inside the lenses, I could see why exam authorities were concerned ahead of this year’s CSAT, set to be held on Nov. 19. Data from the Human Resources Development Service of Korea, disclosed in October during a parliamentary audit, showed that five cases involving AI smart glasses had been detected at state-run qualification examinations this year.

Cheonghae Unit to take local tactical orders in int'l operations

Korea’s anti-piracy Cheonghae Unit would take tactical orders from an on-site commander rather than Seoul’s military leadership when it joins international maritime security operations near the Strait of Hormuz, according to a motion on its deployment disclosed Wednesday. The provision came to light a day after the Cabinet approved the motion and submitted it to the National Assembly to expand the unit’s operational area from the Gulf of Aden to waters south of Oman. The planned expansion comes amid U.S. pressure on allies to help secure the Strait of Hormuz, a focal point of the months-long war with Iran. Tehran has warned that Korea could be portrayed as an accomplice in U.S. military aggression, despite Seoul’s assurances that the mission would remain outside the conflict. According to the mission, Korea would retain command authority, with the Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman directing missions escorting Korean vessels. However, an on-site commander would exercise tactical control during international operations involving the Combined Maritime Forces or the European Union. The re

NK fishermen rescued off Ulleung Island seek to defect, testing Lee administration

Some of the North Korean fishermen rescued off Ulleung Island reportedly want to defect, posing a test for President Lee Jae Myung’s administration as it seeks dialogue with Pyongyang. They were among the six fishermen aboard a boat that the Navy and Coast Guard found drifting in international waters north of the island on Nov. 3. Others reportedly wish to return to North Korea, with authorities questioning each crew member to establish their final wishes. They could become the first North Koreans to defect following a publicly reported rescue since Lee took office in June 2025, at a time when his government appears to favor a low-key approach to avoid provoking Pyongyang and resume talks. The Ministry of Unification declined Wednesday to confirm whether any of the fishermen had requested to defect, saying an investigation was underway. “We cannot disclose details at this stage,” a ministry official told reporters when asked about an exclusive JoongAng Ilbo report published Tuesday that first reported the defect requests. The newspaper wrote that the government plans to complete its

Stanford University offers course inspired by RM's approach to mental well-being

Stanford University is offering a course inspired by BTS leader RM, exploring mental health and well-being through everyday activities associated with the K-pop star, including cycling, visiting art museums, reading and spending time in nature. Titled “Namjooning, and other well-being inspiration from BTS,” the three-unit course is listed in Stanford's 2026-27 academic curriculum and being offered as a first-year introductory seminar during the fall quarter. The course is taught by James R. Jacobs, an associate professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences who also serves as Stanford's associate vice provost for health and well-being. In its course description, Stanford introduces RM as a musician, songwriter and performer who is “frequently quoted for his approaches to mental health and well-being.” The university said the seminar is “fundamentally about well-being practices and struggles,” drawing inspiration from RM's interest in nature, biking, art and literature, activities known as “Namjooning” among his fans. Rather than simply promoting general wellness advice, t

Korean firms shift CES focus to industrial AI

Once known primarily as a showcase for consumer electronics, CES is becoming an increasingly important stage for industrial AI, with Korea’s major tech and auto firms preparing to demonstrate the commercial value of artificial intelligence (AI) across industries ranging from semiconductors and robotics to batteries and autonomous driving. Samsung Electronics is expected to focus on AI semiconductors and robotics, while LG affiliates are set to showcase AI-powered appliances and battery technologies. Kia, under Hyundai Motor Group, plans to use the event to highlight advances in autonomous driving through its U.S.-based self-driving subsidiary Motional. The shift reflects Korean firms’ push to move beyond futuristic concepts and demonstrate AI technologies with clearer paths to commercialization. According to the Consumer Technology Association, which organizes the annual CES tech fair in January, Samsung's semiconductor division has already won multiple CES 2027 Innovation Awards for memory products. The winning technologies include UFS 5.0, a next-generation storage solution design

Korea warns of rare vision-loss risk linked to obesity drugs

The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety issued a safety alert Wednesday to medical professionals and patients over a potential risk of a rare eye condition associated with GLP-1 obesity drugs, including popular obesity treatments Wegovy and Mounjaro. The move follows safety measures by overseas regulators concerning nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), a condition caused by reduced blood flow to the optic nerve that can lead to sudden, potentially permanent vision loss. In June last year, the European Medicines Agency classified it as a very rare side effect of semaglutide, the active ingredient in Wegovy, estimating it may affect up to 1 in 10,000 users. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration asked drugmakers Monday to add a possible increased risk of NAION to the warnings and precautions on GLP-1 drug labels. The letter advises medical professionals to stop treatment and have patients examined immediately if NAION is suspected in those taking GLP-1 drugs, which aid weight loss by mimicking a hormone that regulates appetite and blood sugar. Patients with related symptom

Conflicting brokerage forecasts deepen investor confusion

Lim, a 44-year-old resident of Guri, Gyeonggi Province, began investing actively in Korean stocks last year, regularly reading brokerage research reports to help guide her investment decisions. But as brokerages have increasingly issued conflicting market forecasts and frequently revised their price targets, she has grown uncertain about which reports to trust. "These days, brokerages' forecasts vary so widely and price targets change so frequently that I don't know which ones to believe," Lim said. "Now, I sometimes turn to people around me or ask artificial intelligence (AI) tools for advice instead." Lim is among a growing number of retail investors struggling to make sense of brokerage research as domestic and foreign securities firms repeatedly revise their market outlooks and stock price targets amid sharp swings in the benchmark KOSPI. KOSPI broke through the 9,000 mark for the first time on June 18, closing at 9,063.84, but has since tumbled into the 5,000 range. Some brokerages that predicted the index would reach 10,000 in June have lowered their forecasts by more than 4,000 po

Homeplus faces deepening survival crisis; union calls for government aid

Homeplus, which is undergoing court-led corporate rehabilitation, is facing a deepening survival crisis amid mounting financial difficulties, including unpaid supplier bills, delayed wages and overdue utility payments, industry officials said Wednesday. The company's prolonged search for a buyer has added to uncertainty over its future, prompting its labor union to urge the government to provide emergency funding to prevent further job losses. The major supermarket chain filed for rehabilitation with the Seoul Bankruptcy Court in March last year following a credit rating downgrade. It subsequently suspended operations at some stores before reopening some of them in mid-August this year, but continues to struggle with weak sales and supply disruptions. According to industry insiders, Homeplus failed to fully settle payments in cash to some fresh food suppliers on Oct. 30. The retailer paid 90 percent of amounts owed for agricultural and seafood products in cash, offsetting the remainder against existing supplier deposits. Payments for meat and deli products were covered entirely by those

How Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's extramarital affair could cause collateral damage in Washington

WASHINGTON — Extramarital affairs are usually private matters. Jensen Huang’s has global implications. The 63-year-old is the leading face of the artificial intelligence revolution with his black leather jackets and fluff of grey hair. He runs the company Nvidia, which produces highly coveted computer chips. That's landed him on a late-night-phone-call basis with President Donald Trump, a promoter of the industry. But Huang was also liaising with a Chinese businesswoman who has allegedly fed intelligence — as well as advanced chips — to China. The woman, Alice Huang, is a former executive at the Singapore-based cloud computing company Megaspeed. It's a saga of personal betrayal, corporate espionage and high-tech development, and the fallout is spreading across Washington. There are bipartisan calls for investigations on Capitol Hill. The U.S. Department of Justice has opened its own probe. Nvidia, one of the most valuable companies in the world, is conducting an internal review. Some expect the technology to reshape human civilization by imbuing computers with the vast powers of

FTC to fine 15 firms $1.2 bil. for rigging gov't bond bids

Korea's fair trade watchdog said Wednesday it has decided to impose 1.62 trillion won ($1.2 billion) in fines on 15 financial companies for colluding in government bond auctions for more than three years. The Fair Trade Commission (FTC) said the firms, all primary dealers comprising 10 brokerage houses and five banks, exchanged information on bidding yields and volumes through phone calls and messaging apps regarding 150 auctions between January 2020 and June 2023. It marked the largest fine ever imposed by the FTC in a single case, surpassing the previous record of 1.03 trillion won levied on Qualcomm for unfair practices in 2016. In 145 of those auctions, the companies went beyond exchanging information to reach agreements on specific bidding yields or volumes, constituting bid rigging, the watchdog said. "Dealers in charge of bidding at the 15 companies exchanged information on bidding volumes or yields on auction days, routinely engaging in collusion, with agreements sometimes reached within seconds," the FTC said. The watchdog noted such collusion constitutes a serious violation as g

S. Korean FM stresses bilateral trust following meeting with Ukraine counterpart

Foreign Minister Cho Hyun stressed mutual respect and trust as the foundation for bilateral relations during his talks with Ukrainian counterpart Andrii Sybiha, the Korean foreign ministry said. It was their first meeting since a deepening rift emerged between the two countries over Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's September disclosure of the transfer of two North Korean prisoners of war (POWs) to South Korea. The two ministers met Tuesday (local time) on the sidelines of the Group of Seven foreign ministers’ meeting in France. "Cho stressed that mutual respect, trust and the faithful implementation of agreements between countries are fundamental prerequisites for developing bilateral relations, expressing hope that all pending issues between the two countries will be resolved amicably," the ministry said in a press release. The remarks are widely seen as a reiteration of Seoul’s demand that Ukraine apologize for the disclosure, which South Korea says the two sides had agreed to keep confidential. The ministry did not say whether the two ministers directly discussed the POW

Man arrested on suspicion of killing teenage victim of son's alleged sex crime

Police on Wednesday apprehended a man on suspicion of murdering a teenager who was a victim of an alleged sexual crime committed by his son. The man in his 50s was placed under emergency arrest at around 1:40 a.m. after police found the female victim dead at a house in northeastern Seoul following a report from a third person. The location was identified as an Airbnb. The teenager was found to have been a victim of a sexual crime in January, allegedly committed by the murder suspect's son. Her parents had filed a complaint in March against the son, who is currently in detention for another crime. Police plan to seek a warrant for the murder suspect's formal arrest after investigating his motive. It was not immediately clear whether the suspect carried out the crime in retaliation for the complaint against his son. Investigators said they were unable to immediately question the suspect as he was intoxicated. Those convicted of retaliatory murder face severe penalties, including the death penalty as the maximum sentence.

NC swings to profit, Nexon beats expectations as Krafton struggles

Korean game developers have reported mixed third-quarter earnings. NC returned to profitability from a year earlier, while Nexon defied market pessimism with solid revenue from its live service games. Krafton, meanwhile, saw its operating profit decline as revenue from PUBG: Battlegrounds (PUBG) failed to keep pace with rising costs associated with its business diversification efforts. NC announced its third-quarter earnings Wednesday, reporting sales of 686.5 billion won ($514.2 million) and an operating profit of 119.6 billion won. Revenue surged 91 percent year-on-year, while the company swung to an operating profit from a loss of 750 million won in the same period last year. Overseas sales accounted for 54 percent of total revenue, marking the fifth consecutive quarter of growth in their share, as the company continued to expand its global revenue base, particularly in North America and Europe. Notably, revenue from mobile casual games increased from the previous quarter to 171.9 billion won. The segment accounted for 25 percent of total revenue, contributing to the diversification o

Bus rams into 32 vehicles in Bundang, leaving 57 injured

SEONGNAM — A bus plowed into more than 30 vehicles waiting at a traffic stop in Seongnam, just south of Seoul, during morning rush hour Wednesday, officials said, leaving 57 people injured. The city bus, driven by a man in his 60s, struck four other buses, a cargo truck and 27 passenger cars before coming to a stop after hitting a traffic barrier in Seongnam's Bundang Ward at 7:34 a.m. The bus reportedly hit the vehicles over a distance of about 100 to 150 meters The incident left nine people seriously hurt and 48 others with minor injuries. None of the injuries were reported to be life threatening. The bus driver reportedly told police that the brakes did not work, with investigators looking into the exact cause of the crash. Police said the driver was not under the influence of alcohol, but plan to check whether he had taken drugs.

When fake feels real: 'Rohtko' brings one of art's big questions to Seoul

A painting does not change when it is exposed as a fake. Its price and the way people see it do. That gap between an object and the value attached to it drives “Rohtko,” Polish director Lukasz Twarkowski’s multimedia theater production, which makes its Korean premiere Friday at LG Arts Center Seoul. Inspired by a multimillion-dollar forgery scandal, the production arrives here four years after its world premiere, with its questions about originals and copies taking on fresh urgency amid the increase of artificial intelligence (AI). Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, Twarkowski explored multiple perspectives on authenticity, inviting audiences to draw their own conclusions. “I truly believe that we have this possibility in theater to communicate contradictions,” he said, describing art as a way to explore complexity without declaring one single interpretation to be true. Produced by Latvia’s Dailes Theatre, “Rohtko” premiered in March 2022. It won five Latvian theater awards that year, including production and directing honors, followed by Italy’s Ubu Award for

Gov't seeks to relocate Army academy out of Seoul, retain Air Force, Navy schools

The government is looking to relocate the Army academy out of Seoul while keeping the Navy and Air Force academies in place, sources said Wednesday, backtracking from its original plan to merge them into a unified military college. The defense ministry recently briefed lawmakers on the plan to move the Korea Military Academy to the central-western region of Chungcheong, while retaining the Naval Academy in the southern coastal county of Jinhae and the Air Force Academy in the central provincial city of Cheongju, sources familiar with the matter said. The latest proposal still calls for establishing a joint academy in the Jaundae military complex in the central city of Daejeon, about 140 kilometers south of Seoul, but likely at a smaller scale. If finalized, the plan would mark a retreat from an initial July proposal to merge the three service academies into a single institution inside the Jaundae compound. The revision comes after Defense Minister Kang Shin-chul signaled an adjustment to the initial framework, a move widely seen as a compromise in the face of strong pushback from alumni

'In the Clear Moonlit Dusk' brings Japanese romance to Korean theaters

Fresh off its sold-out screening at the 31st Busan International Film Festival last month, the Japanese youth romance movie "In the Clear Moonlit Dusk" is building high expectations ahead of its Korean release on Nov 18. Based on Mika Yamamori’s hit comic series that has sold over 8.2 million copies, the movie version directed by Kentaro Takemura arrived following its Oct 23 debut in Japan. “In the Clear Moonlit Dusk” previously proved its massive appeal when all 4,000 seats in the Busan festival open cinema section sold out quickly, and when outdoor theater crowds cheered during key scenes featuring lead actor Shunsuke Michieda. In Busan, the festival screening created an electric atmosphere as fans filled the outdoor venue and cheered loudly whenever Michieda, a member of the popular Japanese idol group Naniwa Danshi, appeared on screen. The story revolves around two high school students who both carry the nickname Prince. Yoi Takiguchi (Seira Anzai) is a tall and reserved freshman who earns the title for her striking neutral appearance and dignified demeanor. Despite the admirat

Fall foliage peaks on Jeju, silver grass rounds out scenery

Although autumn foliage has largely passed its peak across Korea this year, those who missed the season still have one last chance on Jeju, the country’s southernmost region, where the colors have yet to reach their height. According to a 2026 autumn foliage forecast released by the Korea Tourism Organization and the Korea National Arboretum, ginkgo trees and oak species at Halla Arboretum on Jeju are expected to peak — defined as when 50 percent or more of their leaves have changed color — on Nov. 16 and maples on Nov. 19. Around the same time, silver grass blankets Jeju’s "oreum," or small volcanic cones, and its coastlines. Here are some of the best places on Jeju Island to catch the year’s last autumn scenery. Halla Arboretum Opened in 1993 in Jeju City, this public arboretum displays about 100,000 plants representing 1,321 species, including native Jeju and subtropical plants.

Korea sets sights on runway-free aircraft after record-breaking drone flight

Korea is pushing ahead with plans for a new generation of aircraft that can take off and land without runways, following a record-setting seven-day flight by its solar-powered unmanned aircraft in the stratosphere. The Korea AeroSpace Administration (KASA) announced Wednesday that it will pursue development of hybrid vertical takeoff and landing aircraft after its EAV-4 unmanned aerial vehicle completed 170 hours and 5 minutes of continuous flight from Aug. 18 to 25. The achievement more than tripled Korea's previous domestic endurance record of 53 hours, set by the EAV-3 in 2020, and ranked second globally behind Airbus' Zephyr, according to the agency. During the flight test, the EAV-4 also demonstrated wildfire surveillance capabilities, using electro-optical and infrared cameras to identify ignition points within seconds and track and predict the direction of smoke and the movement of embers. Flying at an altitude of about 20 kilometers, solar-powered stratospheric aircraft can remain airborne for extended periods, potentially serving as persistent surveillance platforms and emergenc

Kim Soo-hyun testifies in trial of YouTuber accused of spreading false allegations

Actor Kim Soo-hyun appeared in court Wednesday as a witness in the trial of Kim Se-ui, head of the YouTube channel Garo Sero Research Institute, who was indicted while in custody on charges of spreading false information about the actor's private life. The Seoul Central District Court's Criminal Division 26, presided over by Judge Lee Hyun-kyung, held the first hearing in Kim Se-ui's trial on Wednesday. He faces charges including defamation under the Information and Communications Network Act and violations of laws against sexual violence and stalking. Kim Soo-hyun arrived at the courthouse at around 1:40 p.m. to testify. However, he entered the courtroom through a separate passage rather than the main entrance, where reporters were waiting. His testimony was conducted behind closed doors because the case involves alleged violations of the Sexual Violence Punishment Act. The trial stems from controversy surrounding Kim Soo-hyun's private life that erupted last year. At the time, Garo Sero Research Institute, operated by Kim Se-ui, alleged that Kim Soo-hyun had dated the late actor Kim Sae

More than results, Korea needs a new start

On Friday, two Asian powerhouses meet in Qatar. Saudi Arabia and South Korea have had some titanic clashes over the years — not least when the Taeguk Warriors lost 2-0 in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, in 2005, which resulted in head coach Jo Bonfrere losing his job despite the team qualifying for the World Cup. Just four years later, Korea went on to win in the Kingdom and qualify for the 2010 tournament in South Africa. Now they meet in Qatar in a friendly game that was supposed to be preparation for January’s Asian Cup. However, due to conflict in the region, it has been postponed from January to the following December. It leaves a big hole in the calendar not just for Korea, but all the national teams that had planned to participate. It also creates uncertainties for interim coach Robert Moreno, whose contract runs through the end of November, — with the possibility of an extension through to the Asian Cup and the possibility of permanent appointment, if all went well. Now there is no tournament to prepare for, removing some of the urgency for the coach and players. Indeed, a number of

Iran sees Cheonghae expansion as backing US war effort

Korea is facing a diplomatic challenge in convincing Iran that the Cheonghae Unit’s expanded mission closer to the Strait of Hormuz is not an intervention in the ongoing U.S.-Iran war, as the Middle Eastern country warned Korea could be “portrayed as an accomplice” of U.S. military attacks. Although Korea’s defense authorities reiterated that the unit's expanded duties do not cover the strait but rather are aimed at protecting Korean vessels from piracy, experts say it seems Seoul’s message has not been delivered as intended. This raises concerns that Iran could view the move as entry into the war and lead to potential clashes. The concerns come after Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei delivered a briefing on Monday (local time). “South Korea should keep itself away from entering into an issue that is already complicated enough,” Baghaei said, according to local media reports. "It should refrain from deploying military forces to the region under the name of supporting the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz." He noted that Tehran and Seoul have maintained re

Seoul rolls out 6 night coupon packs to keep tourists exploring after dark

Seoul is looking to turn its nights into a bigger draw for international visitors, introducing six themed discount packages designed to encourage tourists to stay out longer and spend more across the city. The Seoul Tourism Organization announced Wednesday that it is expanding nighttime attractions available through its Discover Seoul Pass and launching six Night Coupon Packs covering dining, shopping, wellness, sightseeing and cultural experiences.

K-ART FOCUS Yeon Jin-yeong challenges conventions of masculinity

A U.S. military uniform becomes a bathrobe. Combat boots take on the soft, playful look of jelly shoes. A military duffel bag becomes a Birkin-style handbag. A urinal is adorned with colorful beads, as though it, too, needs accessories to stand out. Bathroom mirrors are covered with images of male fashion models drawn from the artist's own Instagram feed. Inside a former military bathroom and shower at Camp Greaves in Paju, Gyeonggi Province, installation artist Yeon Jin-yeong gives symbols of military masculinity an unexpected makeover. Objects associated with toughness and discipline become pretty, pliable and decorative. His installation for “DMZ Open Exhibition: Staging” explores and questions Korea’s changing ideals of masculinity, where traditional expectations of toughness, endurance and conformity coexist with a growing pressure for men to refine, display and reinvent their appearance in contemporary Korea. “When those images of conventionally attractive men keep appearing in my Reels, I start disliking myself,” he said during a recent interview with The Korea Times.

Kany apologizes for racial stereotype remarks about Black people liking watermelon, chicken

French choreographer and television personality Kany has apologized after facing criticism over remarks invoking racial stereotypes about Black people. While explaining her cultural background and the intentions behind her comments, she acknowledged that she had failed to fully consider the historical significance of such stereotypes in the United States. Kany posted an apology in English on her social media account on Tuesday, addressing controversy over her references to watermelon, chicken and Fanta in a recent YouTube video. "I want to sincerely apologize to anyone who felt hurt or offended by my words," she said. The remarks drew criticism because of the historical associations of the foods mentioned. In the United States, watermelon and fried chicken have long been used in racist caricatures and depictions intended to mock and demean Black people. Such imagery appeared repeatedly in racist illustrations and popular culture, reinforcing racial prejudice by associating Black people with particular foods. Kany acknowledged the historical context in her apology. "I understand that this co
