Will Moon ditch his `competent' event planner?
Will Moon ditch his `competent' event planner?
The five-year policy roadmap, unveiled last week by President Moon Jae-in’s de facto transition committee, drew attention because it envisioned policies much different from those carried out by the previous conservative administration. Equally notable, however, was how the roadmap was disclosed to the public at Cheong Wa Dae.

Moon's perilous energy policy
Moon's perilous energy policy
It is not news that Korea is devoid of any viable energy resources except coal. After being liberated from Japan’s colonial rule in 1945, South Korea managed to survive on electricity transmitted from North Korea.

“Couldn’t be better.” No other phrase would better describe the new Moon Jae-in administration that has passed its first month in office.

How important is Korea to US?
How important is Korea to US?
It is not uncommon to see Koreans who weigh how important Korea is to the United States. They mostly share the notion that Korea is vital to the world’s most powerful country, enumerating America’s participation in the 1950-53 Korean War, their decades-old alliance and the presence of U.S. Forces Korea.

Lessons from presidential failures
Lessons from presidential failures
With only days to go before the presidential election, it is meaningful to figure out why all Korean presidents have failed. Their failures must be a national misfortune. It’s a relief though that Korea has been able to achieve political democracy and economic prosperity simultaneously.

Can we root out fake news?
Can we root out fake news?
There is no question that everyone can write stories and upload them on social media platforms thanks to the development of information and communication technologies. This trend is welcomed, considering that the freedom of expression can be expanded. The problem is that fake news can spread alarmingly, causing lots of adverse effects.

China, THAAD and Moon Jae-in
Despite China’s fierce opposition and economic retaliation, a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery is likely to be operational before the May 9 presidential election. The brouhaha over the deployment of the U.S. anti-missile system has shown what ``two-faced China’’ is like _ being docile to America offering the controversial missile shield while being utterly ...

Hyundai Motor vs. labor union
No one can deny that Hyundai Motor is one of the two pillars bolstering Korea Inc. along with Samsung Electronics. Employing nearly 68,000 workers, the nation’s top automaker posted 93 trillion won in sales last year. The company’s problems are often seen as a harbinger of Korea’s economic turmoil.

Park's responsibility for Sewol
Park's responsibility for Sewol
Whether President Park Geun-hye is responsible for the Sewol tragedy is one of the reasons that prompted the National Assembly to vote to impeach her on Dec. 9. The ruling Saenuri Party opposed it, but the opposition parties strongly pushed to have that reason included in her impeachment documents. The opposition claimed that it reflected the will of the people displayed in n...

Break the `glass door'
Break the `glass door'
Like in other countries, the term ``glass ceiling’’ has been commonly used in Korea to symbolize the sexual discrimination women suffer in workplaces. This word is still useful in Korea, considering that not many women here have yet to climb the corporate ladder and become executives. Such a dismal situation for women has improved a bit, but it is true Korea has a long way to...
