Send us a textShawn and Joe dig into Korea's crumbling cybersecurity myth and the Coupang leak that exposed almost every user in the country. Korea sells itself as an IT powerhouse, but behind the fiber optics sit outdated servers, neglected government systems, weak regulations and a corporate culture that treats security like a box to check.From the SK Telecom and Lotte Card breaches to the government's own embarrassing hacks, the episode breaks down why Korea keeps getting hit, why companies keep failing upward and how a single leak at Coupang nearly shut down parts of the small business economy. Plus, a side tour through xenophobic blame games, delivery driver exploitation and the weird reality that the country with the fastest internet once clung to ActiveX like a family heirloom.

In a world first, millions of Australian children and teenagers are prevented from accessing social media accounts. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told adolescents to make the most of the situation by taking up a new sport or reading a book, instead of scrolling on their phones. Under the legislation, companies could face heavy fines if they don't take reasonable steps to prevent under-16s from opening social media accounts. Social media firms have argued the ban would be ineffective, difficult to implement, and could isolate vulnerable teenagers.Also: tens of thousands flee their homes in border areas of Cambodia and Thailand after a resumption of fighting. An investigation finds at least 1700 civilians have been killed in airstrikes by Sudan's armed forces since the start of the civil war. South Korean police raid headquarters of the e-commerce giant Coupang. And a British man who was paralysed permanently 9 years ago, attempts a world record for sit-skiing to the South Pole.

US equity futures point to a slightly firmer open, with Asian markets mostly weaker and European equities trading marginally higher. Today focus is on mounting speculation around a hawkish Federal Reserve rate cut at this week's FOMC meeting, driving a reassessment of the pace of easing beyond December. Trade policy is also in focus after President Trump confirmed the US will permit Nvidia to export H200 chips to China in exchange for a tariff reduction, while signaling similar treatment for other US chipmakers and simultaneously threatening new tariffs on Mexico, India and other trading partners. In equities, sentiment remains fragile after Monday's sell-off in US stocks, with pressure on tariff-exposed sectors, rising concern around higher-for-longer rates, ongoing AI-related disruption headlines, and continued attention on M&A activity and positioning after a strong two-week rebound.Companies Mentioned: PepsiCo, Carlyle Group, Hogy Medical, Coupang

In this episode of The Korea Pro Podcast, John and Joon Ha reflect on South Korea's political and social landscape one year after the failed martial law declaration, tracking how public anger, institutional distrust and competing protest movements continue to shape the country's trajectory. The hosts recount Korea Pro's on-the-ground reporting at both anti-Yoon and pro-Yoon demonstrations, exploring how diverging narratives around legitimacy, accountability and national security continue to harden. They analyze President Lee Jae Myung's latest National Assembly address and the People Power Party's internal disarray, assessing what Lee's agenda signals for governance, fiscal priorities and his relationship with a weakened conservative opposition. The episode breaks down the passage of the 2026 budget — the first on-time budget since 2020 — highlighting the debut of the National Growth Fund, shifts in defense spending and the political calculus behind a deal struck under extreme polarization. John and Joon Ha then examine Coupang's spiraling data disaster, parsing what is known, what remains unclear and how the incident exposes systemic cyber vulnerabilities that now sit squarely within South Korea's regulatory, political and corporate crosshairs. The episode concludes with a look ahead to the Dec. 14 deadline for the the Special Counsel investigating the martial law incident About the podcast: The Korea Pro Podcast is a weekly conversation hosted by Korea Risk Group Executive Director Jeongmin Kim, Editor John Lee and correspondent Joon Ha Park, delivering deep, clear analysis of South Korean politics, diplomacy, security, society and technology for professionals who need more than headlines.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 19-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 27,773 on turnover of 5.8-billion N-T. The market gained ground again on Wednesday, on the back of investor interest in tech and electronic market heavyweights and after Wall Street held steady overnight. Premier claims opposition demand for President to be questioned over special budget unconstitutional Premier Cho Jung-tai says a demand by opposition lawmakers that President Lai Ching-te face questions in the Legislative Yuan related to his 1.25-trillion N-T special defense budget is "unconstitutional." The statement comes after lawmakers from the K-M-T and the Taiwan People's Party blocked a bill authorizing the special defense budget from being placed on the agenda for tomorrow's Legislative plenary session. K-M-T caucus whip Fu Kun-chi has said while the party's supports protecting Taiwan, they believe Lai should report to the Legislature and explain the necessity of the expenditure. Taiwanese accounts unaffected in Coupang's recent data leak The Ministry of Digital Affairs says there is no evidence to suggest that Coupang users here in Taiwan were affected by a large-scale personal data leak recently reported by the South Korean e-commerce giant. According to the ministry, it contacted Coupang in late November after learning of the incident and was informed that the breach occurred mainly in South Korea and, based on checks carried out so far, no leaks involving Taiwanese accounts have been found. The ministry says it will continue monitoring the case and maintain communication with Coupang to ensure (確保) the protection of local users' personal information. South Korean media has reported that personal information of around 33.7-million users was exposed. Hong Kong fire death toll hits 159 after towers searched The death toll from Hong Kong's worst fire in decades rose to 159. Police said they have completed a search inside all seven of eight high-rise buildings ravaged (嚴重破壞、毀壞) in the fire that first broke out last Wednesday and took until Friday to be extinguished. About 30 people remain missing. Laura Westbrook reports. Moldova Bomb Disposal Deployed Police in Moldova have deployed bomb disposal experts to a community miles from the Ukrainian border after a resident mistook (誤以為) a grounded drone for “a toy” and took it home. Police on Wednesday said the drone did not contain explosives or pose a danger, and urged the public to “not touch or attempt to transport fallen drones or similar objects.” Authorities did not say where the drone came from. They said it was a Gerbera-type drone. Russia has used those in Ukraine. A number of drones have been found on Moldovan territory since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Greece Farmer Protests Farmers in northern Greece have blocked border crossings with North Macedonia, Bulgaria and Turkey as part of a growing protest over delays in farm subsidy payments. The demonstration on Wednesday comes amid a major subsidy fraud scandal (醜聞) that led to the resignation of five senior officials. Tractor convoys caused significant traffic disruptions and forced vehicles onto long detours. Government officials say they are open to negotiations but will not allow key transport corridors, ports or rail hubs (中心) to be shut down. That was the I.C.R.T.

November 3, 2025 - Join us for a rapid reaction analysis of The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum (APEC) 2025 summit, held in Gyeongju, South Korea from October 31 to November 1. Our discussion examines all the most significant outcomes in terms of trade and geopolitics, with special emphasis on the US, Korea, and the US-Korea relationship. The priorities for this year's forum are: "Connect, Innovate, Prosper." In a preparatory meeting, senior officials from APEC members discussed "strategies for digital economy integration, public health cooperation, and strengthening APEC's role as an incubator of practical, consensus-driven solutions." As host nation, Korea's initiatives include: "addressing demographic change and the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence technology." We are joined by Kate Kalutkiewicz, Senior Managing Director of the Trade Practice & McLarty Inbound at McLarty Associates, Professor Jaemin Lee, Professor of Law at Seoul National University and Dean of the School of Law, and Scott Jacobs, Head of Global Public Policy at Coupang. The conversation will be moderated by policy director Jonathan Corrado and policy program officer Chelsie Alexandre. This program is made possible by the generous support of our individual and corporate members and the Korea Foundation. APEC originated as a ministerial meeting of 12 Asian Pacific countries in 1989. The idea for the forum was proposed by Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke during a trip to Seoul in January 1989. A leaders' summit was introduced in 1993 and a series of expansions increased the number of members to 21. South Korea previously hosted the ministerial meeting in Seoul 1991 and the leaders' meeting in Busan 2005. APEC's mission is to "support sustainable economic growth and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region." This program is co-hosted by The APEC Study Center at Columbia University.

Today's guest is Neil Mehta, founder of Greenoaks Capital. In 2012, aged 27, Neil left D.E. Shaw to start Greenoaks with his friend Benny Peretz. One of their first investments was in Coupang, a South Korean e-commerce company led by founder Bom Kim. Neil was so convinced of Coupang's potential that he invested 40% of their initial $50 million fund into the company—a bet that eventually returned about $8 billion. Over its first 13 years, Greenoaks has backed legendary companies like Figma, Wiz, Carvana, Stripe, Discord, Rippling, and Toast—generating over $13 billion in gross profits with a 33% net IRR. Henry Kravis, one of Neil's early investors, describes him as "extremely disciplined" with "exceptional timing" who has "gone against the tide many times." Greenoaks operates with remarkable concentration: just 55 core companies across nearly $15 billion in assets, managed by only nine investment professionals. Their approach reflects their singular pursuit: finding companies that will become a meaningful part of the S&P 500. In our wide-ranging conversation, Neil shares this mission along with his framework for identifying exceptional founders, his concept of "jaw-dropping customer experiences," and how his grandfather's gun shop in India shaped his appreciation for builders of all kinds.

Can you name the health and wellness retailer that generates between four to five times more revenue selling categorical products online than the combined efforts of GNC and The Vitamin Shoppe? And here's a hint for you…it's not Amazon! Since the bulk of my audience is located within the United States, I'm going to assume that iHerb probably wasn't the first health and wellness online retailer that popped into your head. So, despite its massive multibillion-dollar success…iHerb isn't widely known in the U.S. market, mostly because the vast majority of its commercial activity happens internationally. But before blooming into a global powerhouse, iHerb began almost three decades ago as a Yahoo store selling St. John's Wort supplements online. And after the founder forgot to disable the international orders feature when the website launched, iHerb started getting orders from countries like South Korea. But rather than turning off the feature, iHerb decided to start fulfilling them. As sales started to grow, iHerb opened its first fulfillment center in 2002…marking the beginning of a strategic expansion that will soon include nine state-of-the-art logistics operations across the United States, Asia, and the Middle East. And because of its relentless focus on revolutionizing logistics solutions, iHerb can serve the health and wellness needs of customers located in 180 countries…maintaining an average global shipping time of less than five days and offering free shipping in 80 countries. Moreover, iHerb strives to create a localized shopping experience by translating its shopping platform into 22 languages and accepting more than 80 different currencies. Furthermore, iHerb has expanded its online marketplaces presence…reaching more consumers worldwide through 25 digital stores on platforms like Amazon, Tmall, Rakuten, and Coupang. But after a 22-year long journey, from selling a single supplement product to becoming a global leader in the health and wellness industry…iHerb surpassed $1 billion in annual sales. And while that was an enormous accomplishment, it only took iHerb six more years to reach $2 billion in annual sales. In fact, iHerb exceeded $2.4 billion in net sales last year…reflecting a YoY growth of 14.5%. And then for the final portion of my latest first principles thinking content, I'll briefly share my professional experience with iHerb, but more importantly provide a helpful geographical expansion strategic framework (that includes how to best leverage iHerb) for all my brand operators within the intersecting CPG categories of functional foods, functional beverages, and nutritional supplements.

In this episode of Market Mondays, we dive into some of the most pressing topics shaping the worlds of investing, technology, and politics. We start by discussing the controversial Trump Meme Coin—should people invest in it, even if they don't align with his agenda? Next, we tackle the TikTok ban and reversal, as Apple and Google removed the app but later reinstated it. What does this mean for the platform's future and its impact on investors? We also explore the presence of big tech CEOs at the inauguration, with the notable absence of Elon Musk, and analyze who stands to benefit most from this political alignment.An audience member asked about 2x leveraged ETFs as a long-term strategy for young investors, and we shared our thoughts on whether it's a smart move. We also reviewed Barron's stock picks of the year, diving into companies like Coupang, Affirm Holdings, J.M. Smucker, Philip Morris, and more, offering our insights on which ones might be worth considering. Special guest 19 Keys joined the conversation to discuss the TikTok ban reversal, Trump's return to power, and how these events could shape the market.We also delved into the brewing tech wars, questioning whether Mark Zuckerberg is being used as a weapon to challenge Apple's dominance. Finally, we circled back to Trump's meme coin and what it means for investors. Don't miss this episode filled with actionable insights and deep discussions on the intersection of business, technology, and politics.#MarketMondays #InvestingTips #TrumpMemeCoin #TikTokBan #BigTech #BarronsStockPicks #AppleVsMeta #19Keys #StockMarketInsights #YoungInvestors #ETFsSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/marketmondays/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
In today's episode, Shawn O'Malley (@Shawn_OMalley_) tells the story of Coupang, the “Amazon of South Korea.” Coupang's Bom Kim is an impressive founder & CEO who has led the company to incredible growth, with almost half of South Korea's population becoming active customers of Coupang. And Coupang's overnight delivery actually puts Amazon to shame, while few companies create as much value for customers as Coupang does with its RocketWOW memberships, which are similar to Amazon's Prime subscriptions. But how well does this all translate into value for Coupang's shareholders? In today's episode, you'll learn the origin story behind Coupang, how its business model works, why its stock has flopped since IPOing in 2021, how Shawn thinks about its valuation, and whether he wants to add it to The Intrinsic Value Portfolio, plus so much more!
