'Excessive' remarks deepen schism in society

Still seeking solutions to Korea-Japan bilateral relations
In Korea-Japan relations, Korea always compares the attitudes of Japan with post-World War II Germany. While Germany adequately apologized for the past and thoroughly educates new generations about its history, in Japan's case, after the prime minister's apology, Japanese politicians continue to visit the Yasukuni Shrine every year, which honors war criminals. Besides, Germany refers to losing the war as 'defeat,' but Japan refers to its loss as 'the end of the war.'

We must create a Korean Peninsula of reconciliation and coexistence
Recently, as North Korea roamed our airspace with its drones. President Yoon Seok Yeol said, “To achieve peace, we must prepare for an overwhelmingly superior war.” Is he saying that prevention is better than cure? As U.S.-North Korea relations change again and trust between them collapses, it is necessary for us to be prepared for North Korea's self-defense measures that will likely follow.

Real public mourning for Halloween tragedy begins
I couldn't help but be devastated at the sight of the student who was in front of me, crying and saying, “Professor, my family member was a victim of the Itaewon disaster. I don't know what to do.” Students and foreign friends and others have all become victims of the disaster. The Oct. 29 tragedy flew at me like a dagger.
