Why summit should fail spectacularly
If the summit between President Moon Jae-in and his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump fails to produce any significant narrowing of their supposed differences, one shouldn’t take it as a failure. Rather, it may be the start of a new healthy beginning of the stronger alliance. The current state of alliance is so outdated that it won’t work properly. What can rejuvenate it is an ov...

Sorry, Vietnam!
The controversy over President Moon Jae-in’s June 6 Memorial Day speech once again forces the nation to face another dark chapter in its history - its involvement in the Vietnam War. To heal this open wound, the nation should confront what it did wrong and apologize for it if necessary. President Moon in his speech praised Vietnam War veterans for “an act of patriotism” to he...

Anti-Koreanism, stupid!
When the disruption of the U.S. Army 2nd Infantry Division’s centennial celebration party was reported, Americans and Koreans reacted the same way - it’s a resurgence of anti-American sentiment. But it may not be. However alien it may sound, it may be the other way around - the emergence of anti-Koreanism among Americans - both the public and government. Don’t blame them for ...

Moon's gamble
For those who feel uneasy about hiccups in the deployment of a U.S. missile interceptor, or Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery, here is the lowdown. The late President Roh Moo-hyun settled for a theoretical level on his diplomacy of equidistance - getting away from the orbit of U.S. influence and getting closer to China to gain mediating power. But his proteg...

Comparison for commiseration
It is one of the issues I have wanted to deal with to gather forces behind an effort to do away with genocide. As expressed here and through emails I have received, we have received a variety of opinions about these atrocities. Some feel more acutely about the Jewish genocide, while others feel attached to the dark history of the comfort women.

Moon plays old power game anew

The late President Roh Moo-hyun settled for a theoretical level on his diplomacy of equidistance - getting away from the orbit of U.S. influence and bringing it closer to China to gain mediating power.

'Excuse me' 'Thank you'
If one says, “Excuse me,” the other wouldn’t say, “Thank you,” or “You’re welcome.” This rhetorical anomaly may best capture the narrative Korea and the United States are having on the allegedly “smuggled” four launchers for the latter’s Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile interceptor battery.

Holocaust vs. comfort women
In a no-holds-barred battle of replies on Facebook, a foreign friend of mine pointed out that Koreans are not taught about the Holocaust in school. I don’t remember what the subject was but he rested his case, when I pointed out White House spokesman Sean Spicer’s controversial Syrian vs. Nazi comments. My rationale was that education is important but it doesn’t always have t...

Advice to daughter of FM nominee
“Thanks for having brought me up this well. But, mom, I can’t help you.” This is what the 34-year-old daughter of Foreign Minister nominee Kang Kyung-wha should tell her mother, if she has not already done so regarding Kang’s request for her to give up her American citizenship. Why? Above all, it is about her life.
