Do not politicize disaster
The rival political parties have come under attack for “politicizing” the Itaewon tragedy which killed 158 Halloween partygoers on Oct. 29. The Yoon Suk-yeol administration has also invited criticism, as no one has taken responsibility for causing what was regarded as a manmade disaster.

Revive growth momentum
The country's economic outlook for next year is bleaker. Last week, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) revised down its 2023 growth projection for South Korea to 1.8 percent from its previous forecast of 2.2 percent.

Escalating chip war
The global semiconductor war is intensifying. Above all, China's “rise” in the chip-making industry is alarmingly fast. According to a report published by the U.S. Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), China increased its share of the global semiconductor market to 7 percent in 2021, up from 5 percent in 2018-20. That was the result of Beijing's extensive support for Chin...
