How to minimize NK threat
How to minimize NK threat
Newly elected South Korean President Moon Jae-in visited Washington. The result could have been a tense meeting with President Donald Trump. Moon mixes skepticism of the THAAD anti-missile system with support for dialogue with the North. Since taking office the South Korean leader has tried to minimize perceived differences with America, claiming that his views are consistent...

Clarification
The June 16 column by Donald Kirk stated that Christine Ahn, the international coordinator of Women Cross DMZ, neglected to say about the initial physical state of Otto Warmbier at the Washington conference. Ahn notified us that she was unaware at the time that Warmbier was comatose. We regret any misunderstanding. - ED.

Breaking the frame
Breaking the frame
Generally speaking, for decades there have been basically two frames of reference in South Korea - the conservative world view and the progressive world view. There was a certain tribalism mentality in that conservatives or progressives felt the need to subscribe to their “list” of beliefs, or at least defend them from attack by the other side. There were national leaders who...

Twenty years after Asian crisis
Twenty years after Asian crisis
April is the cruellest month, so said the poet TS Eliot. But one wit remarked that June marks the end of May. Who would have expected that British Prime Minister Theresa May would lose her majority in Parliament in the June election, which was supposed to strengthen her hand in negotiating Brexit with the European Union? In sharp contrast, unlike earlier in the year when ever...

Secrets of FDI attraction and retention
Secrets of FDI attraction and retention
Last week I attended the 2017 Investment Promotion Agency (IPA) Best Practice Roundtable. The Roundtable was held in Washington, D.C., and was organized by SelectUSA. The participants shared their knowledge or experiences of FDI attraction and retention. At this meeting I explained the role of Korea’s foreign investment ombudsman trying to retain foreign-invested companies by...

Korean War veterans fading away
Korean War veterans fading away
While they are a hardy lot, time and a plethora of illness and disease is steadily taking down the Korean War Veterans from all countries. It is correct to say they are a “hardy lot,” for injury and sickness from the war have plagued many of them for most of their entire adult lives, yet they have, as the saying goes, “soldiered on.” Canada is one example of both the attritio...

Korea's East Asia options
Korea's East Asia options
The wheels are turning so that groundwork for a “pivot to diplomacy” is beginning in East Asia. That is not easy to see right now, as both the U.S. and South Korean administrations fumble for their footing in the rhetoric and policy debates that are so important to each. Those debates are important for East Asia’s direction over the next months and years, because they could d...

Presidential bribery
Presidential bribery
In impeaching Park Geun-hye and electing Moon Jae-in to the Blue House, Korean citizens have sent a signal to the nation - and to the world - that the era of business-political collusion in Korea is over. No longer will people accept the kind of influence-peddling by politicians towards business leaders that was the norm here for too long. But old habits die hard. In the imme...

Cinderella is a cautionary tale in Korea
Cinderella is a cautionary tale in Korea
By now, it’s pretty apparent that the impeached former president, Park Geun-hye, was a princess. Although the monarchy is a thing of the past in Korea, Park was born and raised as a princess during her formative years in the Blue House. Considering that her father ruled for eighteen continuous years as an ironfisted dictator, Park was more than the first daughter - she litera...
