Is Korea serious about fighting climate change?
At various global summits and venues, leaders of many nations, including Korea, have firmly stated their pledges to take all needed action to cut global emissions leading to climate change. Like many developed nations, Korea has committed to achieving carbon neutrality, in its case, by 2050. The Yoon administration also recently tightened reduction targets and aims to use les...

Dream of unification lives forever
Just a day away from Aug. 15, the Liberation Day of Korea, one thought kept coming to me: Will South and North ever unite? Exactly 78 years ago, on Aug. 15, 1945, it was the day when Korea was liberated from Japanese colonial rule by the United States and the Soviet Union. And yet, one could say, that it was the day that destined the country for a split.

Japan's 'Toto world'
Every time I visit Japan, I find myself surprised at the lack of English language in the public arena. This is such a contrast with the ubiquity and even effusiveness of English language everywhere in Seoul; I mean, it's almost impossible to avoid English in Korea anywhere you go. I remember watching a TV show where contestants were challenged not to use English words in thei...

'Excessive' remarks deepen schism in society
The Aug. 15 speech by President Yoon Suk Yeol has ignited significant discussions. The crux of the matter lies in President Yoon's mention of “communist totalitarian forces disguising themselves under the banners of democracy, human rights and progress.” This has sparked great interest.

Shining light on North Korea's human rights violations
Most countries politely prefer to look the other way when it comes to confronting widespread reports of North Korean human rights violations. After all, what can you do about what goes on in one of the world's most closed and repressive communist regimes?

China's growth scare
Since China announced its relaxation of the “zero COVID” policy early this year, many considered the event a final confirmation of the world returning to normal. However, the economic boon from China's reopening has been most underwhelming, with the expected bounce in consumption, overseas travel and corporate investments disappointing at best. The negative surprise from Chin...

'Barbie' and Korean patriarchy
One of my editors at the Korea Times suggested I examine the recent summer hit, Barbie, and perhaps contrast it with Korean patriarchy.

Don't count on Camp David
President Biden should be credited with a terrific public relations success. In less than one day, he got the leaders of South Korea and Japan to appear in full accord on mutual defense against all the bad guys in the region, mostly North Korea but also China.

Revenge of the tidal flat
When in mid-August, just before Korea´s national holiday (Gwangbokjeol), the World Scout Jamboree ended, a catastrophe narrowly could be avoided. With the additional urge due to an upcoming typhoon, 40,000 scouts were evacuated from the original jamboree site in Saemangeum. While the organization of the evacuation of the scouts worked flawlessly, and once again confirmed Kor...

American films still hold sway in France
PARIS- “Barbie” has charmed Paris. The pink hued doll figure come alive in its blockbuster movie rendition has captured the hearts and imagination of the French film viewers during the second post-COVID summer. Next, after the syrupy saccharine adventures of “Barbie” comes the cerebral but dark “Oppenheimer,” the story of the developer of the Atomic Bomb. And third,the perpet...
