[INTERVIEW] 'North Korean leader's younger sister is ambitious, bossy'
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's younger sister, Kim Yo-jong, is back in the media spotlight following her explosively critical speech rejecting President Yoon Suk-yeol's new initiative - largely referred to as his “audacious initiative” - a proposal calling for the denuclearization of North Korea in exchange for large-scale food, energy, infrastructural, technological and f...

What polls don't say about Yoon
President Yoon Suk-yeol's low approval rating in the early phase of his presidency is puzzling pundits.

Nancy Pelosi vs. Lee Jun-seok
U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's arrival in Taiwan on Wednesday, despite China's furious reaction which materialized in a menacing military show of force, has made some Koreans like me want to revisit Lee Jun-seok's week-long trip to war-torn Ukraine two months ago, shortly after the June 1 local elections.

Domestic politics presents major stumbling block to Korea-Japan relations
In Korea-Japan relations, it is commonly said among Korean experts that the ball is in Japan's court. In other words, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida holds the key, particularly following his party's big win in the Upper House elections earlier this month. Thus, it's important how he will respond to President Yoon Suk-yeol's repeated calls to sit down for a summit to di...
