Devil is in the details
When Presidents Moon Jae-in and Joe Biden hold their summit meeting in Washington later this week, it should provide more clarity on the new U.S. administration's policy toward North Korea.

Semiconductors: Digital gold
It may not be surprising that, among the topics that will be discussed between President Moon Jae-in and President Joe Biden at their scheduled summit meeting in Washington, D.C. on May 21, will be North Korea, climate change and cooperation on COVID-19 vaccines. But more noteworthy is that semiconductors will also be high on the agenda.

Ground zero
North Korea is ground zero for international humanitarian efforts. For the first time since foreign aid workers were allowed into the country following the great famine of the 1990s, which Pyongyang described as the “Arduous March,” no U.N. or NGO staff members reportedly remain in the country, due to local COVID-19 restrictions.

White, Black and Asian
The recent wave of anti-Asian hate crimes in the U.S. has complex roots. It is normally framed in the narrative that Asians have been victims of white supremacy. The 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act banned Chinese immigrants for 60 years and 120,000 Japanese Americans were put in internment camps during World War II.

Disaster trifecta
By John BurtonA trifecta once meant a winning horse racing bet in which the first-, second- and third-place finishers were chosen in the correct order. But in the case of North Korea, it has meant a losing streak over the past year as the country has suffered triple blows from COVID-19 restrictions, natural disasters and the continued impact of international sanctions. North Korea was one of the first countries in the world to go into self-quarantine against COVID-19 when it closed its borders in January 2020 and imposed travel restrictions within the country. Trade with China, North Korea's...

Moon's last year
It will be nearly a year from now when Korea holds its next presidential election on March 9, 2022. The last year in office usually proves to be a dismal one for Korean presidents due to their lame-duck status.

No way out
During his recent Senate confirmation hearings, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said he was in favor of “increasing pressure on North Korea to come to the negotiating table” on dismantling its nuclear weapons program. But he later added that at the same time he would support easing regulations that hinder humanitarian aid deliveries to North Korea.

Putting down markers
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un made his opening bid in dealing with the new administration of President Joe Biden at the eighth congress of the ruling Workers' Party, which ended last week. The congress was deliberately held before Biden's inauguration this week to send a message on how Pyongyang views the situation.

Un-American
When is an American film not an American film? That is the controversy surrounding the critically acclaimed, mainly Korean-language movie, “Minari,” directed by a Yale-educated Korean American filmmaker, Lee Isaac Chung.

Arms control
U.S. President-elect Joe Biden has the opportunity to forge a new path in terms of U.S. policy toward North Korea by embracing the idea that an arms control agreement with Pyongyang rather than denuclearization should be Washington's immediate primary goal.
