MERS cover-up
Have you forgotten about the deathly panic that was triggered by the onset of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) last year? To jog your memory, it started in May and brought the nation to a standstill for fear of the insidious contagion. Thirty eight of 186 patients in the top-rated Samsung Medical Center and 15 other hospitals ended up dead. Here is one unreported case ...

Korea's tunnel vision
An inattentive observer wouldn't understand Koreans' feeling of being stuck in the same place. After all, the country is known for its dynamism and vibrancy - something new and big happening everyday so that newspapers need not worry about stories for their front pages the next day.

How to 'unelect' Trump
The Nov. 8 U.S. presidential election is no longer for Hillary Clinton to lose but for Donald Trump to win. It’s not because of a few polls putting the Republican nominee ahead of the presumptive Democratic nominee after the Cleveland convention. It is because Clinton remains unexciting. From the voters’ perspective, selecting a leader often proves not to be about experience ...

Whispers of 99 percent
Nowadays, the mother of all worldly troubles is the struggle between the top 1 percent and the remaining 99 percent. Ordinary Brits caught the ruling class by surprise and gave them a boot in the butt through a revolution at the ballot box with the exit from the European Union. Donald Trump, now U.S. Republican presidential nominee, has thrived on grassroots discontent. In Ko...

Who does THAAD protect?
On July 8, hours after the announcement of the deployment of an advanced U.S. missile interceptor, Defense Minister Han Min-koo called editors and editorial writers in for a briefing.

THAAD and US beef
Is the controversy over the deployment of the U.S. missile interceptor the same to President Park Geun-hye as the decision to resume the importation of U.S. beef was to her predecessor, Lee Myung-bak? Lee’s government was almost toppled after months of protests starting in late May 2008, three months after he took office. The protests were triggered by a casual remark he made...
