COVER STORY Ukraine's apology over NK POWs falls short of Korea's expectation: foreign minister

Foreign Minister Cho Hyun said Tuesday that Ukraine sent an apology over its disclosure of the transfer of two North Korean prisoners of war to South Korea but the message fell short of Seoul’s expectations. He said the government is considering further diplomatic actions. Cho made the remarks during a parliamentary audit of the foreign ministry amid a dispute over Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s disclosure of the transfer, which Seoul said the two sides had agreed to keep confidential. “I have been exchanging messages with the Ukrainian foreign minister, who is very troubled by the situation, and I received a message that included words of apology,” Cho told lawmakers. “But it was somewhat different from the level we had expected, so we intend to take firm measures,” he said. Asked whether Seoul could recall its ambassador to Ukraine, Park Hee-chang, Cho said the government was considering that option. When questioned about the reasons for Zelenskyy’s disclosure, Cho said that in his personal opinion, it seemed the Ukrainian president wanted to show U.N. members th

Son Heung-min becomes all-time Korean men's goals leader

Son Heung-min became the all-time male goals leader in Korean football Tuesday, netting his 59th marker in a friendly against Uzbekistan. Son scored a free kick goal in the sixth minute at Yongin Mireu Stadium in Yongin, about 40 kilometers south of Seoul. Son, 34, broke a tie with former striker Cha Bum-kun. Son drew level with Cha with a goal against Uruguay last Monday and needed just two more matches to become the new record holder. Son is already the most-capped male player with 151 appearances. Son made his international debut on Dec. 30, 2010, against Syria, and scored his first goal against India on Jan. 18, 2011, during the Asian Football Confederation Asian Cup. He has represented South Korea at FIFA World Cups in 2014, 2018, 2022 and 2026, and has also played at the 2011, 2015, 2019 and 2023 Asian Cups. Ji So-yun, a longtime women's national team star, is Korea's all-time leader with 76 goals in 182 appearances.

N. Korea warns of 'powerful counteraction' if S. Korea intrudes 'even a millimeter' into its territory

North Korea on Tuesday warned of an "immediate and powerful counteraction" if South Korea intrudes even "a millimeter" into its territory, after Seoul signaled corresponding measures over a recent land mine blast at the inter-Korean border that it has blamed on Pyongyang. The North's foreign ministry issued the statement a day after the South's military concluded the mines planted by North Korea caused the Sept. 21 blast on the southern side of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) that left two South Korean soldiers critically injured. The South's military also conducted a mine-clearing operation at the blast site on the same day, in coordination with the U.N. Command (UNC), which oversees the border area. "We do not care about them trying to remove the mines irrelevant to us, and we have no reason to pay heed to such farce of the ROK," the ministry said, calling South Korea by its official name, the Republic of Korea. "However, if a jackboot or a spark of fire from the ROK goes even a millimeter beyond the border to violate our territory, the border guard forces of the DPRK will take an immedia

Francis Halzen wins Nobel Prize in physics for work on mysterious ghost particles called neutrinos

STOCKHOLM — Francis Halzen won the Nobel Prize in physics on Tuesday for his efforts to demystify a rare group of neutrinos, tiny cosmic particles that scientists believe offer clues to how the universe evolved. “It was a great surprise and I obviously didn’t expect it,” Halzen said, speaking to the committee by phone from Italy, in a call broadcast at the news conference to announce the winner. Halzen said it was predicted before that he would win the Nobel Prize but the announcement still made him feel “strange.” “I am working on a proposal, and I hope that this prize will help getting it approved,” he said to chuckles from the audience. Halzen paved the way for a new kind of astronomy The Nobel Committee for Physics also said Halzen’s work was instrumental to the construction of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory in Antarctica. “Francis Halzen realized that the ice at the South Pole could visualize these neutrino messengers from cosmos,” committee member Eva Olsson said during the news conference. “People joined him in the quest for these neutrino messengers.

What do we know about plague institute lab worker's death in Russia?

MOSCOW/LONDON — A laboratory worker at a plague research institute in Siberia fell ill and died in undisclosed circumstances on October 2, prompting authorities to quarantine about 200 people and causing public health fears on social media. Here's what we know about the case, which officials have not linked to her work or plague, and about the disease she studied. What happened? Russian media named the victim as Darya Shipilova, a 28-year-old laboratory worker at the Irkutsk Anti-Plague Research Institute of Siberia and the Far East. The authorities said she died of an unknown type of pneumonia but that as a precaution they quarantined everyone who had come into contact with her. Unconfirmed reports of how she fell ill have circulated on social media. One version said she had dropped a test tube containing live bacteria at work, a theory rejected by Russia's health watchdog. Another said she became sick after travelling to Thailand. A third said she fell ill after going to an area near the border with Mongolia. There is no evidence in the public domain to support any of those theories. Did

Actor Yoo Hae-jin put under police protection amid threats over film controversy

Police said Tuesday they have placed actor Yoo Hae-jin under protection following escalating threats over a film he starred in that has drawn intense backlash over alleged historical distortion. Seoul Seongbuk Police Station has provided Yoo with a smartwatch and registered him on the emergency 112 system, while stepping up patrol around his residence, officials said. The measures, however, do not include assigning a dedicated officer to the actor. A police official said protective measures can be taken if there are reasons to anticipate potential harm. Yoo has faced criticism from conservatives over his role in "The Assassin(s)," a movie depicting the 1974 assassination of then first lady Yuk Young-su, wife of late former President Park Chung-hee. Conservative groups are strongly criticizing the movie for allegedly implying Park's involvement in his wife's death, rather than the assassin, Moon Se-kwang, who was held accountable for the shooting. Conservative civic groups have staged protests outside Yoo's home in northern Seoul, demanding the movie be pulled from theaters and calling for

Forget waking up at dawn: Young Koreans are embracing 'sleep maxxing'

Forget waking up before dawn to squeeze in another hour of self-improvement. For a growing number of young Koreans, getting ahead now means getting better sleep. The "miracle morning" trend, which encouraged people to wake up early and devote the extra hours to exercise, studying and other forms of self-development, once swept through Korea. Now, a contrasting wellness trend known as "sleep maxxing" is drawing attention among younger generations. The term combines "sleep" with "maxxing," internet slang for maximizing or optimizing something. Rather than simply trying to sleep longer, followers seek to improve sleep quality by systematically adjusting everything from daily habits to their bedroom environment. Kang, a 30-year-old office worker, is among those willing to spend money in pursuit of a better night's sleep. A smartwatch tracks total sleep time and the proportion of deep sleep, while supplements are part of a routine aimed at relaxation. A sleep mask and earplugs have also become bedtime essentials.

Chief justice calls presidential intervention in Supreme Court nominations unconstitutional

Supreme Court Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae said Tuesday that the president has no authority to intervene when he recommends candidates for justices of the top court, escalating a dispute with President Lee Jae Myung over the selection of a new justice. Cho made the remarks during a parliamentary audit of the Supreme Court, where he strongly defended his constitutional authority and criticized Cheong Wa Dae's demand that he nominate another candidate. "Just as the chief justice cannot interfere in the National Assembly's approval process or the president's appointment process, neither the National Assembly nor the president can interfere in the chief justice's recommendation," Cho said. He argued that such intervention would violate the constitutional division of powers among state institutions and undermine judicial independence. His remarks followed a clash between Lee and the chief justice over the justice selection that has lasted more than a month. Under Article 104 of the Constitution, a 10-member recommendation committee selects at least three candidates for Supreme Court justice. The

Gov't issues consumer alert, launches monthlong effort to prevent fraud after data breaches

Financial authorities issued a consumer alert at the “caution” level Tuesday after suspected artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted cyberattacks stole personal information from banks, savings banks and a capital finance company. They also launched a monthlong special response period to prevent scams involving the stolen data. The measures follow data breaches reported at seven firms since the beginning of this month — Shinhan Bank, KB Kookmin Bank, Hana Bank, BNK Busan Bank, Yegaram Savings Bank, Welcome Savings Bank and Hyundai Capital. The incidents suggest the attacks, first reported in the banking sector, are having a broader impact. During the special response period, financial firms must open dedicated support channels for affected customers and immediately report any confirmed or suspected cases of fraud that may follow to regulators. Firms must also strengthen monitoring through their fraud detection systems. Suspicious information linked to the breaches will be promptly shared through an AI-powered platform for sharing and analyzing voice phishing information for financial

Korea reaffirms Alaska LNG investment hinges on commercial viability

Industry Minister Kim Jung-kwan reaffirmed Tuesday that Korea would participate in the Alaska liquefied natural gas (LNG) project only if it proves to be commercially viable, saying the government has just begun reviewing the proposal. He added, however, that while poor economics had long held the project back, the Middle East war had strengthened its strategic importance. “There is no question that weak commercial reasonableness kept the project from moving forward. But the Middle East war has created new strategic value,” Kim told lawmakers during a parliamentary audit. “If the project succeeds and Korea can secure LNG from Alaska, there would clearly be strategic benefits.” He made the comments in response to a question from Rep. Choi Soo-jin of the main opposition People Power Party. Choi accused Washington of presenting a large Korean investment as a foregone conclusion despite the project having stalled for four decades because of poor economic viability. She pointed to language in a joint fact sheet stating that work would begin on the project. “With economic viability an

Busan Int'l Film Festival kicks off star-studded 10-day run

BUSAN — The 31st Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) opened Tuesday for a 10-day run, bringing 316 films from 59 countries to Korea’s southeastern port city and ushering in an expanded set of cinema events with international prestige. The opening ceremony, hosted by actor Kim Min-ha, took place at the Busan Cinema Center, officially kicking off Asia’s largest film festival. Following the opening ceremony, director Kim Jong-kwan’s "The Table: Day and Night" will have its world premiere as the opening film. The movie explores the intersecting lives of four couples visiting a cafe during the transition from summer to autumn. Kim expressed his gratitude for the festival's spotlight on details, lauding their importance for his film, which weaves together four separate stories. "This movie is a story about small, subtle things, focusing on the meaning and beauty held within them," Kim said during a press conference at the Busan Cinema Center. "I am deeply honored and delighted to present this film on such a prestigious stage as the opening of the Busan International Film Festival.

Lee orders renewed discussions on possible membership to CPTPP

President Lee Jae Myung instructed the government Tuesday to start over discussions on whether South Korea should join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) amid opposition from farmers and fishermen. Lee gave the order during the closed-door portion of a Cabinet meeting at Cheong Wa Dae, referring to the major Indo-Pacific trade agreement comprising 12 countries, including Japan, Mexico, Australia, Canada and Vietnam. Together, the member countries accounted for about 15.2 percent of global trade in 2019. "President Lee said there are opinions that the CPTPP's strategic value is important at a time of profound change in the international trade order, as well as opinions that the farming and fishing industries have great concerns," presidential spokesperson Kang Yu-jung said in a written briefing. "He stressed that policies should be pursued by calculating the national interest based on trust and shared understanding among farmers and fishermen, and ordered starting over conversations from scratch without rushing toward a fixed conclusion," sh

IVE, Illit, RIIZE collide as October K-pop comeback race heats up

The Asian Games and the Chuseok holiday have come and gone, and the air has finally turned crisp with the arrival of autumn, but K-pop's race to the top of the charts is running as hot as ever. October brings more than a dozen notable releases, building to a single day on Oct. 26 when three of the industry's biggest names put out new music at once. Before then, the calendar fills with quick returns from rising groups, a virtual idol act fresh off its first stadium show and a new solo EP from BLACKPINK's Lisa. Early-month rush KickFlip, one of JYP Entertainment's youngest boy groups, returns on Tuesday with the mini album "KICK OFF THE WALL Pt. 1," about six months after "My First Kick" in April. The eight-track album is led by the double title tracks "Puzzle Piece" and "Kick Off The Wall," featuring U.S. rapper iann dior, with every member taking part in writing all the songs. Oct. 12 is the month's first crowded evening. NCT WISH of SM Entertainment releases its fourth mini album, "I SPY," with six tracks led by the title track of the same name.

Spy agency rejects media report on US visa denial for staff

Korea’s spy agency said Tuesday that it is in talks with the United States over delays in issuing visas to some of its employees scheduled to work at the Korean Embassy in Washington, denying a media report that their visa applications had been rejected. The statement from the National Intelligence Service (NIS) came in response to a Chosun Ilbo report revealing that the U.S. government had not approved Korea's request to dispatch NIS personnel to Washington as diplomats. The report also said Washington has not yet reached an agreement with Seoul over the departure of a senior NIS official who is supposed to return to Korea. “The delays in some visa applications are related to issues concerning the applicants’ personal information as part of the strengthened U.S. entry procedures,” the NIS said. “We are closely consulting with the U.S. side on the matter.” The intelligence agency further dismissed claims that the visa delays were linked to broader tensions between Seoul and Washington, including disputes over e-commerce giant Coupang and allegations involving intelligence act

Humanoid robots take center stage as Seoul opens Smart Life Week

Inside the exhibition halls of Coex in southern Seoul on Tuesday, a bipedal humanoid robot swayed its arms to a K-pop beat. Across the room, another white robotic torso traded swift returns with a human opponent across a badminton net while robot fighters wearing oversized red and blue headgear sparred inside a miniature boxing ring. The spectacle marked the opening of Smart Life Week (SLW) 2026, a tech-driven smart city expo hosted by the Seoul Metropolitan Government. Running through Thursday under the theme “Designing Life with AI,” the exhibition brings together 529 participating firms, public institutions and city governments to showcase how artificial intelligence (AI) is shifting from digital screens into physical reality. This year’s event placed heavy emphasis on robotics and “physical AI,” which is capable of sensing, navigating and acting in physical environments alongside humans. At the miniature boxing ring, which drew a large crowd of onlookers, the two fighting robots marched to the center as directed by an emcee, waving to spectators before the opening bell ran

Busan shark refuses to leave canal for 3 weeks despite rescue attempts

Nearly three weeks have passed as of Tuesday since a shark, now the most famous of its kind in Korea, got trapped in a canal at a waterfront park in the southeastern city of Busan, despite local authorities' rescue attempts. The shark was first spotted Sept. 18 in the narrow canal at the city's North Port, located some 330 kilometers south of Seoul. For the next two days, nearly 20,000 visitors came to see the shark, a fivefold increase compared with the park's usual daily average of about 2,000 visitors during holidays. Public interest spiked dramatically during the Chuseok holiday, which fell on Sept. 25, with a daily average of 120,750 visitors flocking to the waterfront park between Sept. 24 and Sept. 27. The shark has been affectionately named "Bukang-i" after Bukhang, or North Port, as well as serving as an honorary ambassador of Busan. As of Monday, 1.02 million people have visited the park to see Bukang-i, according to the Busan city government. Initially, local maritime police and authorities tried to drive the shark away, but the animal refused to leave the channel, prompting of

Analysis'Yoon trauma' shapes battle over new investigative chief

The row over Kim Ji-yong’s nomination as the first head of the Serious Crimes Investigation Agency (SCIA) ostensibly centers on his record as a prosecutor, including allegations that he was aligned with Yoon Suk Yeol, a former prosecutor-turned-president. But the deeper issue may be anxiety within the ruling camp that the new investigative body, despite being created to separate investigation from prosecution, could operate beyond the government’s control and give rise to another Yoon-like political figure. That concern is rooted in the political aftershock of Yoon’s rise. As prosecutor general under the liberal Moon Jae-in government, he gained national prominence through investigations involving figures close to the president. His clashes with the administration helped turn him into a symbol of resistance to political power — an image that later became a key asset in his successful presidential campaign. For the ruling camp, that episode showed how one investigator can turn legal authority and high-profile cases into political capital. The separation of investigative and prose

Lotte Department Store tops $744 mil. in foreign customer sales

Lotte Department Store said its foreign customer sales nationwide surpassed 1 trillion won ($744 million) on Tuesday, making it the first Korean department store operator to reach the milestone. The retailer, which already exceeded last year's total of 734.8 billion won in July, attributed the growth to demand for luxury goods and Korean fashion, food and cultural experiences. Its Myeong-dong shopping district operations in central Seoul generated about 520 billion won in sales to foreign customers. The flagship store has expanded Korean fashion offerings and themed events to attract overseas visitors. Foreign customer sales at its Jamsil complex in eastern Seoul doubled from a year earlier. Shoppers from North America and Europe accounted for 35 percent of foreign sales there, up 15 percent from 2019. Growth also extended beyond Seoul. Sales to foreign shoppers at its Busan stores rose 150 percent from the previous year, while those at stores in the country’s southwestern region, including Jeonju and Gwangju, doubled during the same period, according to the company.

K-beauty breaks boundaries to offer broader solutions

Beauty companies in Korea are increasingly expanding beyond their traditional businesses into beauty devices, energy-based devices and medical aesthetics as they seek to become comprehensive beauty solution providers. APR, which operates the cosmetics brand Medicube and home beauty device label AGE-R, has begun expanding into medical devices. “For the new medical device businesses, approval procedures for products and manufacturing facilities are currently underway, and the commercial launch date will be determined based on the acquisition of relevant approvals and the progress of commercialization preparations," the company said in its half-year report. APR is preparing to launch new medical devices, including an energy-based device using focused ultrasound technology and a skin booster using polynucleotide.

[COVER STORY] North Korea's border fortification raises questions over DMZ buffer role

COVER STORY North Korea's border fortification raises questions over DMZ buffer role

North Korea’s continued construction of minefields, fences and barriers along the Military Demarcation Line (MDL) is raising questions over whether its border fortification campaign is changing the role of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), which has served as a military buffer between the two Koreas since the 1953 Korean Armistice Agreement. The risks are becoming more apparent as North Korea builds fortifications close to the MDL in areas where Seoul, Pyongyang and the United Nations Command (UNC) do not always agree on the exact location of the line. North Korean troops have repeatedly crossed the MDL during construction work, prompting warning broadcasts and warning shots from the South Korean military. North Korea began clearing land, laying mines and building fences, barriers and tactical roads along the MDL in 2024, after leader Kim Jong-un defined inter-Korean relations as those between “two hostile states.” The South Korean military expects the project to be completed around 2028. As of August, land-clearing work was about 90 percent complete, while construction of fences and m

Monk becomes 'Buddhist world's G-Dragon' with razor-sharp dance moves

“Bad, bad, bad….” At Jajaeam Temple, nestled deep in the valleys of Soyo Mountain in Dongducheon, Gyeonggi Province, the silence was broken by “BAD,” a popular song by boy band ATEEZ. The man engrossed in popping moves, his gray Buddhist robes flying around him, was Ven. Deoksan, the temple’s abbot. He shot to fame after dancing to G-Dragon and Taeyang’s “Good Boy” at a Buddhist Expo in April and Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” at the Lotus Lantern Festival in May. Despite being in his 60s, his unconventional dance moves have earned him colorful nicknames such as the “G-Dragon of Buddhism,” “Deoksan Daegong” and “Michael Jack-sunim,” a play on Michael Jackson and the Korean word for monk, “sunim.” Ven. Deoksan, who uses dance as a way to spread Buddhist teachings, was interviewed on Sept. 30. 'Dacing is part of my practice' Ven. Deoksan gave a shy smile when asked about the popularity of his dance videos on social media, saying he was “embarrassed” by the attention. “As a practitioner, I hope this can help me convey Buddhist teachings in a more

Hearts2Hearts releases Korean version of Japanese debut single 'Iconic Heart'

Girl group Hearts2Hearts released a Korean-language version of "Iconic Heart," the title track of its first Japanese single, on Monday, its agency SM Entertainment said. "Iconic Heart (Korean Ver.)" is available on major streaming platforms, about two months after the original came out in Japan on Aug. 12. The song is a dance track inspired by Jersey club, a fast-paced style of club music that originated in the U.S. state of New Jersey, and is built around bright synthesizers and bouncy beats. Its lyrics convey the excitement of moving forward together through playful, youthful imagery, according to SM, one of Korea's largest K-pop agencies and home to acts such as aespa and NCT. The agency said the Korean version offers a new take on the track while keeping the energy of the original.

'I Live Alone' viewers captivated by actor who lives in 90-year-old home

Actor Kim Min has won praise from viewers after revealing his unconventional daily life and personal philosophy on MBC's reality show "I Live Alone." Beyond the intensity he has shown in acting roles, Kim displayed a free-spirited side as he filled his days with home repairs, martial arts and hands-on projects. But it was his outlook on life — particularly his belief that being "cool" comes from how a person spends their time rather than their looks — that resonated most with viewers. The Oct. 2 episode of "I Live Alone" offered a glimpse into Kim's life in Dongducheon, Gyeonggi Province, where he has lived alone for 28 years. He resides in a roughly 90-year-old house whose distinctive atmosphere and unconventional setup immediately drew attention. Kim began his day by running a generator for electricity and tearing into an entire baguette. He repaired a damaged floor himself with cement, worked on woodworking projects and practiced martial arts. Despite living in surroundings that might seem inconvenient to others, Kim appeared perfectly at ease, making and repairing what he needed
