Most popular search terms in 2022 and implications for companies
What was the most popular search term in 2022? Perhaps many would think “Extraordinary Attorney Woo,” the Netflix top-chart Korean drama, or “Qatar World Cup.” Surprisingly, the answer was “climate change.” Announcing that the No. 1 search term of the year was “climate change,” Google Korea noted last December that environmental issues have been garnering increasingly more at...

2023: South Korea's awakening
In 2023, Northeast Asia's path toward a new Cold War paradigm will become increasingly clear. China and Russia will refuse to impose sanctions on North Korea for any of its illegal activities that violate U.N. Security Council resolutions and undermine the international nuclear non-proliferation regime. Xi Jinping's consolidation of near-absolute power in China will signify t...

Upcoming social developments in 2023
I'll leave the political forecasts to others, but I want to focus on social issues. Let's look at social trends and predict where things might go in 2023. And good riddance to 2022, a really awful year - the third year of the COVID pandemic. Maybe I need to admit that this view of 2022 is highly subjective - the fact that it is perhaps the final year of the pandemic is a posi...

Ancient history, modern kingdom
LONDON - Mired in scandal and gossip, the Brits still seem to love their royal family. Not even the black sheep princes of the realm can stop pollsters from discovering that a majority believe the monarchy is fine even if it's sopping up more than $100 million a year in taxpayer money.

Korea's Indo-Pacific strategy broadens diplomatic, security, economic horizons
Korean diplomacy wrapped up 2022 with the announcement of its Indo-Pacific strategy just before the year-end, as promised. I welcome the government's effort and its comprehensive Indo-Pacific strategy. It is a strategy for a free, peaceful and prosperous Indo-Pacific region with three overt principles of cooperation - inclusiveness, trust and reciprocity - and with nine core ...

AI art and sexualization of women
The latest trend taking over social media has been AI-generated art. Art generated by AI has been around for a couple of years now, but lately its popularity has soared, as apps like Lensa have reached the status of the most downloaded mobile apps.

Decoding Korea's Indo-Pacific Strategy
The phrase Indo-Pacific has become quite fashionable in international relations lately. It has replaced Asia-Pacific as the main term describing the evolving geopolitical dynamics across the region, which includes players from North America and Oceania.

3 investment risks to watch for in 2023
The year 2022 was one where investors faced a multitude of hazards like the Russian invasion of Ukraine, China's reversal of its market reforms and the disorderly global recovery from COVID-19. But most notable was soaring inflation not seen since the 1970s.

China's role in making Indo-Pacific Strategy possible
The idea of an Indo-Pacific Strategy (IPS), which was initially considered to be an impossible proposition, appears to be increasingly becoming more real. Although it is still not a definite strategy and there are multiple names for it such as strategy, outlook, vision, idea or framework, in recent years there are more and more countries which have declared their IPS and Sout...

Winners and losers in war and peace
“All happy families are alike, but every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” Maybe we should go back to that maxim about happy and unhappy families at the opening of "Anna Karenina," the Russian classic by Leo Tolstoy. To paraphrase Tolstoy, all happy victors in war are alike, but every unhappy loser is unhappy in his or her own way. Let us consider how wars have ended...
