Satire, selfies, and 'SNL': Korean presidential hopefuls dive into entertainment politics진행자: 최정윤, Tannith Kriel기사 요약: 대선 앞두고 엔터테인먼트에 뛰어드는 후보자들, 풍자, 셀카, SNL을 섭렵하며 표심 공략[1] Han Dong-hoon, a leading presidential contender and former chair of South Korea's ruling People Power Party, became the talk of the nation this week ahead of an appearance alongside his doppelganger on "SNL Korea" — the local adaptation of the sketch comedy show "Saturday Night Live".contender: 후보자talk of the nation: 장안의 화제[2] The buzz started Tuesday when Han posted a photo on Facebook with comedian Jung Sung-ho, known for his spot-on impersonations of the candidate.

The segment had not yet aired as of press time, but the photo ignited chatter across social media and news platforms.spot-on: 딱 맞는, 정확한impersonation: 흉내[3] “The broadcaster approached us first,” said an official from Han's campaign. “With the election coming up, they clearly saw ratings potential.

This week's episode opens with Jeongmin walking us through a rollercoaster week in South Korean politics. Former Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung secured the party's presidential nomination over former Gyeonggi governor Kim Dong-yeon last week, while the People Power Party (PPP) narrowed its primary field to former party leader Han Dong-hoon and former labor minister Kim Moon-soo. The team then breaks down the dramatic sequence that followed: a surprise Supreme Court ruling in Lee's election law case, and — just one hour later — Acting President Han Duck-soo's resignation and public address, setting the stage for his own presidential run. They then discuss key implications from the week's political chaos, including the National Assembly's surprise bipartisan agreement on a supplementary budget and the potential for the eventual PPP nominee to form an alliance with Han. John discusses the cyber attack that has struck SK Telecom, affecting 23 to 25 million users whose identities may have been compromised. Finally, the trio looks ahead to a critical deadline on May 3, when the PPP will decide which of its final two contenders will be its nominee for the presidential election, and previews the fast-approaching May 11 candidate registration deadline.

In this episode, Jeongmin, John and Joon Ha break down the latest twists in South Korea's political and diplomatic landscape. First, they analyze President Yoon Suk-yeol's final defense in his impeachment trial, where he justified his martial law declaration as a “communication tool” to alert the public about national crises. The team examines whether this argument holds weight and what it signals about Yoon's political strategy. Next, they discuss growing tensions between South Korea and China after Beijing's ambassador publicly warned against rising anti-China rhetoric in Seoul. With Yoon repeatedly accusing China of election interference, Beijing may be signaling its displeasure. Finally, the team dissects former PPP leader Han Dong-hoon's new memoir on Yoon's martial law declaration. Han appears to be distancing himself from Yoon as a calculated move to reenter politics. Plus, a look ahead at the Constitutional Court's latest ruling on Acting President Choi Sang-mok's justice appointments and what it means for South Korea's political landscape.

Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 44 points this morning from yesterday's close, at 23,002 on turnover of 3.4 billion NT. The market rebounded on Thursday, after Wall Street resumed its upward climb as an update on inflation in America appeared to clear the way for more help for the economy from the U-S Federal Reserve. AIT says Chinese Activity Not Response to Lai's US Stopovers The American Institute in Taiwan says it doesn't believe increased Chinese military activity near Taiwan this week was a response to President Lai Ching-te's recent stopovers in the United States. The institute believes the "elevated activity in the East China Sea and South China Sea follows a broader increase in China's military posture (姿態) and military exercises over the last several years .. .. and it does not see this wider activity as a response to Lai's transit (轉機)." An A-I-T spokesperson says the United States continues to call on Beijing to "avoid any destabilizing or escalatory actions (升級動作) that might undermine regional peace and stability… and will continue coordinating with allies and partners regarding our shared concerns." The statement was issued by A-I-T following China's designating of seven areas east of Zhejiang and Fujian provinces from Monday to Wednesday as "temporary reserved areas" of airspace (空域保留區). Government Seeking Private Investment in Public Infrastructure The National Development Council says it's seeking private investment in public infrastructure (基礎建設) projects. According to the N-D-C's Economic Development Department, the government is set to create a ministerial-level mechanism (機制) to encourage such investment in order to "boost cooperation between the government and the private sector in jointly building Taiwan." Department head Chiu Chiu-ying says the mechanism will bring together officials from the N-D-C, the Ministry of Finance and the Financial Supervisory Commission to work with private enterprises … .. who are interested in investing in "major public infrastructure projects" projected to "yield stable returns." Chiu also says it's hoped that bringing in private capital (私人資金) for public projects will help alleviate financial burdens on both central and local governments. Lows of 11°C Forecast for North and Center The Central Weather Administration says a continental cold air mass is forecast to bring temperatures in the north and center down to 11 degrees early Sunday morning. According to the administration's forecast center, cold air mass will affect Taiwan from tomorrow through Sunday. The effects of the cold front will be the strongest on early Sunday morning - with lows of between 11 and 13 degrees forecast for the north and center, while other areas could see lows of between 14 and 15 degrees. The mercury will rebound slightly on Monday. However, another cold air mass is forecast to begin affecting the island next Friday. Nato calls on nations to ramp up defense spending In global news, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte is urging European nations to shift to a wartime mindset… He also pointed up a need to ramp up (增加) defense spending to counter an aggressive Russia… as Sagher Meghani reports. US Mideast Initiatve Meanwhile… Top U.S. officials are in the Middle East pressing for stability in Syria and an end to Israel's 14-month war in the Gaza Strip in a last-ditch diplomatic push by the outgoing Biden administration. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is in Jordan and Turkey on Thursday for talks on how to ensure a peaceful transition of power in Syria following the ouster of longtime President Bashar Assad. National security adviser Jake Sullivan is in Israel in a bid to wrap up a ceasefire with Hamas militants. Sullivan expressed cautious optimism that conditions are ripe for halting (中止) the conflict. South Korea latest And… The leader of South Korea's ruling party is expressing support for impeaching President Yoon Suk Yeoul over his martial law declaration. Local media reports say Han Dong-hoon now says removing Yoon is the only viable option left to restore politicial stability (恢復穩定政治). On Thursday, the embattled president defended his martial law declaration, which some media reports considred a confession of treason. Han voiced his support days before South Korea's National Assembly holds a second vote calling for Yoon to be impeached.

President Yoon vowed to “fight until the last moment” on Thursday, in his second public appearance since his unsuccessful martial law gambit. Yoon lashed out at critics of his failed attempt last week to impose military rule on the country. Han Dong-hoon, leader of the ruling People Power party, signalled he was preparing to support Yoon's impeachment on Saturday. On Wednesday, South Korea's corruption investigation office for high-ranking officials reportedly said it would seek the detention and arrest of President Yoon Suk Yeol if conditions are met.

Na de mislukte staatsgreep van de Zuid-Koreaanse president Yoon Suk-yeol wordt de druk op hem opgevoerd om op te stappen. In reactie op de plotselinge actie van Yoon zijn in ieder geval veel ministers uit zijn kabinet al bereid om ontslag aan te bieden, meldt de krant Chosun Ilbo. De leider van de Zuid-Koreaanse regeringspartij PPP, Han Dong-hoon, heeft woensdag opgeroepen tot het ontslag van minister van Defensie Kim Yong-hyun en het aftreden van het hele kabinet. De onmogelijke positie waarin Yoon nu verkeert, zal hem maar tot één optie dwingen, denkt hoogleraar Koreastudies Remco Breuker: ‘Hij zal snel aftreden.'  De kans dat Pete Hegseth, aangedragen door aanstaand president van de VS Donald Trump, nog minister van Defensie zal worden, wordt steeds kleiner. Steeds meer verhalen over zijn verleden zetten zijn nominatie als minister onder druk. Ondertussen zou Trump zelfs al een mogelijke vervanger op het oog hebben, zo bericht de Wall Street Journal.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

//The Wire//2200Z December 3, 2024////ROUTINE////BLUF: MARTIAL LAW DECLARED IN SOUTH KOREA, PRESIDENT DEPLOYS MILITARY THROUGHOUT SEOUL BEFORE PARLIAMENT NULLIFIES ORDER. SYRIAN REBEL FORCES CAPTURE ALEPPO, PIVOT SOUTH TOWARD HAMA.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Syria: Opposition forces have completely taken the city of Aleppo, which largely remains under the control of opposition forces comprising of HTS, ISIS, and various other smaller al-Qaeda splinter groups. Syrian governmental forces largely have offered little resistance to the advance, which has continued to push south toward Hama. Fighting has now reached the suburbs of Hama, where the Syrian Army and Russia have mounted varying levels of defense.Korean Peninsula: This morning President Yoon Suk-yeol declared martial law throughout South Korea and immediately ordered the suspension of Parliament and the deployment of military forces in Seoul. Immediately following this declaration, many events occurred in very short order. As military forces surrounded Parliament and entered the building with the goal of shutting down proceedings, legislators called an Emergency Session to conduct a snap vote to nullify the martial law declaration.While Members of Parliament were climbing over barricades and using other means to gain access to the main voting hall of the National Assembly Building, soldiers encircled the building, with a large complement of military and police taking up position at the main entrance on the south side of the building. A detachment of unidentified soldiers (likely a Quick Reaction Force (QRF) from the RoK Army Special Warfare Command) were observed breaching the exterior windows of the Assembly Building to gain entry as at least 3x UH-60 helicopters established an aerial presence over the structure (possibly intending to conduct an Air Assault to fast-rope soldiers onto the roof of the building, but more likely to provide transportation for other QRF elements that deployed to the Assembly complex).As armed soldiers were in the hallway outside the main chamber attempting to break through and/or bypass the barricades hastily constructed by Parliamentary staffers, the vote to nullify the martial law order passed unanimously, with 190 Members of Parliament who were able to vote supporting the reversal of the martial law declaration. Zero MPs voted to continue the state of martial law. Following the vote, the Speaker was able to convince the soldiers to depart from the building. A few minutes after the vote, military forces began withdrawing from the interior of the National Assembly Building, with most forces remaining in the vicinity while the details of command were being worked out.Per South Korean law, the vote to nullify the state of marital law does not actually do so in practice, President Yoon is still required to issue the stand-down order himself. The vote in Parliament merely forces the President to issue the recension order. Consequently, Parliament announced that they will not leave the building until the order is rescinded by Yoon. Though the initial confrontations have simmered down, President Yoon has not been seen or heard from since the order was issued around midnight, and military spokesmen have indicated that they will not fully stand down without the order from Yoon himself. A few moments ago, rumors indicated that Yoon may issue the order to withdraw tomorrow.However, several hours after the initial scuffle at the National Assembly Building, some reports suggested that military forces had indeed decided to follow their original orders as issued by President Yoon, which included arresting the leaders of Yoon's opposition movement in Parliament: Lee Jae-myung, Han Dong-hoon, and Woo Won-sik. Earlier in the day, Lee Jae-myung had filmed himself stating that President Yoon was no longer President due to his actions. At the moment it is not clear

In this episode of The Korea Pro Podcast, John is joined by Joon Ha, Korea Pro's junior news reporter, to discuss recent developments in South Korean literature, diplomacy and international relations. The duo begin by celebrating Han Kang's Nobel Prize in Literature, making her the second Korean to receive a Nobel Prize. Joon Ha highlights the international acclaim for Han's work and the role of translators in bringing Korean literature to a global audience. They also touch on the controversial blacklisting of cultural figures, including Han, during the Park Geun-hye administration. The conversation then shifts to last week's meeting between South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba in Laos. John and Joon Ha analyze the leaders' efforts to continue the rapprochement process while navigating domestic political sensitivities, particularly in light of Ishiba's ceremonial offering to the Yasukuni Shrine. The duo then discusses former U.S. President Donald Trump's claims about South Korea's financial contributions for U.S. troop presence. They examine the potential implications for U.S.-ROK relations if Trump were to win the upcoming U.S. presidential election, considering the recent negotiations of the 12th Special Measures Agreement. Looking ahead, John notes the anticipated meeting between Yoon and ruling People Power Party leader Han Dong-hoon, discussing the potential impact of recent by-election victories on their relationship and party dynamics.

In this episode of The Korea Pro Podcast, Jeongmin and John delve into recent geopolitical events and their potential impact on South Korea. The discussion opens with an analysis of Shigeru Ishiba's appointment as the new Japanese prime minister. They explore the implications of Ishiba's more dovish stance toward South Korea, contrasting it with his rival Sanae Takaichi's hawkish position. The hosts consider the potential trajectory of South Korea-Japan relations under Ishiba's leadership, acknowledging the constraints posed by conservative factions within Japan's Liberal Democratic Party. Next, they turn their attention to Iran's recent missile attacks on Israel and turn the discussion toward South Korea's missile defense capabilities. The hosts weigh the cost-effectiveness of further investments in missile defense against the development of offensive capabilities, particularly in light of the threat posed by a nuclear-armed North Korea. Looking ahead, the hosts discuss South Korean prosecutors' decision not to pursue legal action against the first lady in the Dior bag scandal. They also touch on President Yoon Suk-yeol's declining approval ratings and the rumored tensions between the president and People Power Party leader Han Dong-hoon over the investigation of the first lady.

In this episode of The Korea Pro Podcast, co-hosts Jeongmin and John begin by discussing the Bank of Korea's decision to maintain its interest rate for the 13th consecutive time, the longest streak to date, amid record-high household debt of $1.4 trillion. The hosts explore the paradox of increasing real estate investments despite personal debt levels, touching on practices like gap investment and the misuse of the government's housing lottery system. The conversation then shifts to the resurgence of COVID-19 cases in the country, noting that even prominent figures like main opposition Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung have been affected. Jeongmin and John analyze the government's response, including the expectation of a peak by month's end and the challenges posed by a shortage of treatment drugs. They discuss the focus on treating vulnerable populations in the absence of previous pandemic mandates. Lastly, the hosts delve into the changing hiring practices of South Korean conglomerates in response to the country's aging population. They examine the shift from traditional mass exam-style open recruitment to hiring older, more experienced workers, and consider the implications for costs and innovation, especially in high-tech companies. Looking ahead, Jeongmin and John preview several upcoming events, including a potential visit by Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida to South Korea in September, the National Assembly plenary session focusing on non-controversial public welfare issues, the postponement of Lee Jae-myung's meeting with Han Dong-hoon, and the continuation of the Ulchi Freedom Shield military exercise.

In this episode of The Korea Pro Podcast, co-hosts Jeongmin and John discuss the Czech government's selection of Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power (KHNP) as the preferred negotiation partner for the construction of two new nuclear power plants in the European country. They begin by discussing how the announcement will likely impact South Korea's nuclear energy sector, its domestic political ramifications and how it might affect the U.S.-ROK alliance in the future due to KHNP's ongoing legal dispute with Westinghouse Electric Company over intellectual property rights. The conversation then shifts to last week's assassination attempt on former U.S. President Donald Trump, exploring its potential impact on the upcoming U.S. presidential election and the potential ramifications for South Korea should Trump return to office. Next, the hosts then delve into the indictment of Sue Mi Terry, a former CIA analyst and White House official, for allegedly acting as an unregistered agent of South Korea. Jeongmin and John examine the charges against Terry. Finally, Jeongmin and John preview the upcoming ruling People Power Party (PPP) leadership race, set for July 23. They discuss the key candidates, including Han Dong-hoon, and analyze the party's internal divisions between pro-Yoon and anti-Yoon factions in the wake of the party's defeat in April's parliamentary election.

In this episode of The Korea Pro Podcast, co-hosts Jeongmin and John delve into President Yoon Suk-yeol's trip to the U.S. where he visited the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command in Hawaii and attended the NATO summit in Washington, D.C. They discuss Yoon's bilateral meetings with various world leaders. Next, the hosts analyze the labor ministry's report on South Korea's employment numbers reaching a 15-month high. John speculates that a significant portion of the numbers may be attributed to senior citizens seeking part-time employment, as the proportion of South Koreans above 65 years old approaches 19.51%, putting the country on the brink of becoming a super-aged society. The discussion then shifts to the ongoing backlash faced by Han Dong-hoon, the former interim leader of the People Power Party, as he runs for the party's leadership. The hosts touch upon reports of Han “ghosting” the first lady's text messages and his attempts to distance himself from Yoon, which have been used against him by other leadership candidates. Looking ahead, Jeongmin and John preview the upcoming impeachment hearings against President Yoon Suk-yeol, set to be unilaterally held by the opposition Democratic Party on July 19, coinciding with the first anniversary of a marine's death that sparked allegations of interference in the investigation by top officials.

In the latest episode of The Line Podcast, recorded on June 21st, 2024, Matt is delighted to see Jen back at home in Calgary, where she is bathed in glorious bandwidth, if not in actual running water. Jen gives us a quick update on the water situation there, including some positive signs of a fast resolution, but then your hosts launch into a chat about the end of the spring sitting of the House of Commons. Thank God. They were just embarrassing themselves and needed to get home. Matt also gets Jen caught up on the latest from the federal front, that she may have missed during her two weeks on holiday, including some polling, the latest on foreign interference (including some good news, of a kind, for Han Dong), and also the upcoming by-election. Given that Matt doesn't see any actual good-news scenario for the Liberals in St. Paul's, he wonders if he has been wrong — could this be Justin Trudeau's last summer as prime minister?This episode of The Line Podcast is brought to you by Unsmoke Canada. Canada can be a global leader in reducing the harm caused by smoking, but it requires actionable steps, including giving adult smokers the information they need to choose potentially less harmful alternatives. Learn more at Unsmoke.ca. The two then move on to chat about some federal updates that aren't specifically pegged to silly season and horserace polls. Jen talks about Bill C-59, with which she is unimpressed, noting this as a recent example of something your editors have observed before — this government is bad at governmenting. Matt then takes over to chat a bit about defence spending, and notes that Treasury Board president Anita Anand has correctly identified a problem Canada has. But her solution is very, very wrong. And it's more governmenting problems, as it turns out.Next: an update from Alberta, an update from Ontario, a promise about more B.C. coverage being on the way, and, then, a long chat about man's self-destructive nature and the grieving process of an entire society facing the death of its hopes and dreams. Which is weird, because that last bit is nominally about a possible liquor-store strike in Ontario. Things went a bit off the range on that one.All that, and more, on the latest episode of The Line Podcast.

In this slightly extended episode of The Korea Pro Podcast, Jeongmin and John delve into the aftermath of South Korea's general elections, which saw the ruling People Power Party (PPP) suffer another landslide defeat while the Democratic Party (DP) and the Rebuilding Korea Party (RKP) emerged victorious. The hosts discuss the string of resignations that followed the election, including PPP interim leader Han Dong-hoon, Prime Minister Han Duck-soo and the president's chief of staff. They also explore the question of who will become the PPP's new leader and whether President Yoon Suk-yeol will finally meet with DP leader Lee Jae-myung. Jeongmin and John then delve into the potential for cooperation between the DP and the RKP, as well as which new parties have entered the National Assembly and which ones have lost their seats. Finally, they discuss what the election results could mean for some of the president's long-term policies and his overall agenda.

However, the party received less than the required 3% of total votes and remains unrepresented in the National Assembly.

*) Israel will invade Rafah and return to Khan Younis — minister Israel's war cabinet minister Benny Gantz has claimed without proof that Palestinian resistance group Hamas has been defeated militarily and the Israeli army will invade Rafah and reoccupy Khan Younis, a local media outlet reported. *) EU lawmakers approve major revamp of pact on migration and asylum European Union lawmakers have approved a major revamp of the bloc's migration laws on how to manage the entry of thousands of people without authorisation. The members of the European Parliament voted on Wednesday on the "Pact on Migration and Asylum", regulations and policies meant to help address the issue of who should take responsibility for migrants and asylum seekers when they arrive. The proceedings were briefly interrupted by a group of demonstrators in the public gallery who wore shirts marked “this pact kills” and said “vote no!” The 27 EU member countries must now endorse the reform package, possibly in a vote in late April before it can enter force. *) South Korea's PM, top officials offer resignations over election defeat South Korea's prime minister and senior presidential officials have offered to resign en masse, media reports said, after their conservative ruling party suffered a crushing defeat in parliamentary elections. The results of Wednesday's election posed a huge political blow to President Yoon Suk-yeol, setting back his domestic agenda and leaving him facing an intensifying political offensive by his liberal opponents during his remaining three years in office. Prime Minister Han Duck-soo and top advisers to Yoon submitted their resignations on Thursday, South Korean media, including Yonhap news agency, reported. Yoon's office didn't immediately officially confirm the reports. In a separate news conference, ruling People Power Party leader Han Dong-hoon said he would step down as well to take responsibility for the election defeat. With most of the votes counted, the main opposition Democratic Party and its satellite party appear to have won a combined 175 seats in the 300-member National Assembly. Another small liberal opposition party was expected to win 12 seats under a proportional representation system, according to South Korean media tallies. Yoon's ruling People Power Party and its satellite party were projected to have obtained 109 seats. The final official results were expected later Thursday. *) Trump takes another dig at Jewish voters who back Biden Donald Trump has lashed out at Jewish voters who back President Joe Biden and framed this year's election as a referendum on the strength of Christianity in the US, part of his sharp-edged continuing appeal to evangelical conservatives who are a critical element of his political base. Speaking in Atlanta ahead of a fundraiser, the presumptive Republican nominee on Wednesday renewed his running criticism of Biden's reaction to Israel's brutal war on besieged Gaza. "Biden has totally lost control of the Israel situation," said Trump, whose rise in 2016 depended heavily on white Christian conservatives. "Any Jewish person who votes for a Democrat or votes for Biden should have their head examined.” And finally… *) We have two years to save the planet: UN climate chief Governments, business leaders and development banks have two years to take action to avert a far worse climate crisis, the UN's climate chief has said in a speech that warned global warming is slipping down politicians' agendas. Simon Stiell, Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change said on Wednesday that the next two years are "essential in saving our planet". "We still have a chance to make greenhouse gas emissions tumble, with a new generation of national climate plans. But we need these stronger plans, now," he said.

This week, the Foreign Interference Inquiry heard interesting testimony from Han Dong and Erin O'Toole. I discuss that testimony, the benefits of the inquiry process versus the Special Rappatour option the government wanted, and reforms needed to the Security and Intelligence Threats to Elections Task Force. The Justice Minister was interviewed by Althia Raj regarding the proposed Online Harms Act. The Minister was on the defensive throughout, and did little to ease fears that this government is overreaching on the restrictions to free speech contained in the Bill. A case out of Calgary is showing how courts will handle Medical Assistance in Dying cases on the margins. Here, the person asking to die is 27 years old, has Autism, and evidence from her father raises questions as to whether she is indeed suffering significant physical ailments. Finally, I look to the Mass Casualty Commission report one year on. The RCMP have provided an update on their efforts to implement the report recommendations, and the Province of Nova Scotia has provided a brief update as well.

In this episode of The Korea Pro Podcast, Jeongmin and John cover three key topics surrounding the upcoming South Korean general elections. First, they delve into the record number of overseas South Koreans who participated in early voting. John shares his experiences with this demographic from his younger days and discusses how the group may have changed over the years. Next, the hosts address the People Power Party's challenges, as its interim leader, Han Dong-hoon, pleads with voters during campaign rallies amid low approval rates and calls from within for the president to resign from the party, which have impacted the PPP's electoral prospects. Then, Jeongmin examines the controversy surrounding Democratic Party candidate Kim Jun-hyeok, running for parliament in Gyeonggi Province's Suwon D district. In Aug. 2022, Kim made controversial remarks on a YouTube channel about Kim Hwal-lan, the first president of Ewha Womans University, alleging her involvement in sending “comfort women” to Japan during wartime and forcing Ewha students to provide sexual favors to U.S. military officers during the U.S. military's rule of the southern half of the Korean Peninsula from 1945 to 1948. Finally, the team delves into the different video strategies that the three main political parties have adopted to rally their voters, even if all of them are centered around their party leaders to one degree or another. About the podcast: The Korea Pro Podcast is a weekly 15-minute conversation hosted by Editorial Director Jeongmin Kim (@jeongminnkim) and Editor John Lee (@koreanforeigner), diving deep into the most pressing stories shaping South Korea — and dissecting the most complicated ones for professionals monitoring ROK politics, diplomacy, culture, society and technology.

Tom Korski, Managing Editor of Blacklocks Reporter joined Alex Pierson to discuss Chinese interference. Federal investigators waited years to look into allegations a 2021 Liberal candidate benefited from in thousands of undisclosed donations from friends of China, records show. This is the week the Prime Minister, Cabinet Ministers and other senior officials are set to testify over a two week period. Federal election monitors never caught any Chinese agents despite numerous tips but instead spent four years prosecuting Rebel News Network for improper signage, the China inquiry was told.

On this week's episode of The Korea Pro Podcast, we start by discussing the Seoul city bus drivers' strike, which began just hours before our recording and ended just hours after we finished recording. The drivers demanded higher wages, and the strike marked the first in 12 years. Next, we explore People Power Party interim leader Han Dong-hoon's pledge to relocate the National Assembly from Seoul to Sejong City, the latest development in the government's long-running “move-out-of-Seoul” campaign. We then examine President Yoon Suk-yeol's decision to temporarily halt his People's Livelihood Debates until after the general elections to avoid accusations of election interference. Next, we discuss South Korea's ambassador to Australia Lee Jong-sup's extended return to South Korea just days after being appointed to his post. He faces allegations of interfering with investigations into the death of a South Korean marine in July 2023. A day after we finished recording, Lee offered to resign to “strongly respond to [investigative] procedures.” On the international front, we discuss the upcoming meeting between U.S. President Joe Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, which is expected to result in an upgrade to their mutual alliance. We consider the potential implications for South Korea, especially if Donald Trump is re-elected in Nov. 2024. Finally, we cover the Korean Medical Association's election of Lim Hyun-taek, a fierce critic of the Yoon administration's decision to increase medical school admissions.

This week on The Korea Pro Podcast, we begin by examining the evolving relationship between President Yoon Suk-yeol and People Power Party interim leader Han Dong-hoon. Their alternating displays of political partnership and discord, particularly over the controversial nomination of former defense minister Lee Jong-sup as ambassador to Australia and a presidential aide's inappropriate sense of humor, have created an atmosphere of uncertainty and tension in their alliance. On the progressive front, we discuss how Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung appears to have been caught off guard by the sudden rise in popularity of former justice minister Cho Kuk, potentially complicating their alliance and respective presidential aspirations. Next, we shift our focus to Youngdeungpo, a district in Seoul often compared to Brooklyn, which has unexpectedly become a battleground in the upcoming general elections. We analyze President Yoon's ambitious but possibly unrealistic urban renewal proposal for the district and whether or not it might have an impact on the race.

This week on Korea Pro Podcast, we start by examining the case of a South Korean missionary charged with espionage in Russia and the potential fate that awaits him. Next, we delve into the controversial nomination of a scandal-ridden former South Korean defense minister, Lee Jong-sup, currently under investigation for abuse of power, to serve as the country's ambassador to Australia. We then discuss South Korea's role in hosting the upcoming Summit for Democracy and the potential reason the country was chosen to host the event despite democracy's retreat in the country under the Yoon administration. Shifting the focus to the upcoming general election, we explore the parties' nomination processes and the official start of campaigning on March 28. We also shed light on some of South Korea's more unusual campaign practices and problematic candidates, including a conservative who has expressed disdain for the country's 1980s democratization movement, another conservative with no qualms about orgies and a progressive candidate who was snubbed despite primary voters' support due to his status as a conscientious objector. Finally, Jeongmin introduces her new analytical series: “Korea Insider” and “Election Watch.” This week, she profiles former justice minister Han Dong-hoon's rise to political celebrity and analyzes the rise of former justice minister Cho Kuk's new political party for her two series, respectively.

This week, a scandal involving South Korea's first lady, Kim Kun-hee, who reportedly received a $2,200 Dior purse from a Korean-American pastor known for his views advocating engagement with North Korea, escalated into a major rift between President Yoon Suk-yeol and People Power Party interim leader Han Dong-hoon, one of Yoon's closest confidants. Reports that this political bromance has apparently ended because of a Dior purse have captured international media attention, making headlines in the Wall Street Journal, Time Magazine and others. The Korea Pro team dissects the complex cultural and political context behind the incident and its implications going forward. Another significant topic this week is the looming possibility of Donald Trump's return to the White House following his win in the New Hampshire Republican primaries, fortifying his status as the GOP frontrunner. The episode delves into news reports of the U.S. and the ROK governments agreeing to expedite their joint defense cost-sharing negotiations, underscoring Seoul's silent anxiety about Trump's potential return.

Former People Power Party leader Lee Jun-seok formally left the party after months bickering with his former party members who sought to take him down. His departure comes months ahead of the country's April 2024 parliamentary elections as former justice minister Han Dong-hoon ascends to party leadership.

In a significant development, justice minister Han Dong-hoon — one of President Yoon Suk-yeol's closest aides — resigned to become the ruling People Power Party's interim leader. The episode examines the challenges and potential repercussions of Han's new role and the quickly shifting dynamics within the two major political parties. Additionally, the discussion touches upon the peculiarities of South Korean confirmation hearings, which offers a glimpse into the country's unique political culture of scrutinizing the morality of the candidates and their family members over policy capabilities.

欢迎来到加广中文台“加中建交50周年”特别系列节目。 今天是这个系列的第七集，也是最后一集。 在过去的一个多星期，我们采访了加拿大熟悉中国事务的五位专家、学者、记者，从他们个人的经历和感受回看加中关系五十年。 过去的两年，加中关系可谓跌倒了谷底，那么未来会如何？在加拿大的对华政策上，他们有什么预见？ 欢迎收听“加中建交50周年”播客第7期：来到了十字路口，未来充满不确定... （时长17分43分） https://www.rcinet.ca/zh/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2020/12/1201-Yan-mixed.mp3 加拿大学者、前外交官查尔斯·伯顿（Charles Burton）教授关注加中事务超过五十年，但目前的状况令我非常失望非常悲哀。他最大的失望是，加拿大和许多西方国家一样，认为与中国的经济合作交往将会促使中国更加开放，在民主人权方面有所改善。 加拿大几十年来在中国的公民社会、法制体系培训、女性权益等投资将近10个亿，但在受访中，伯顿教授认为，很多中国签署的与法制人权相关的协议和设置的课程，更像是“做给加拿大看的”，以减轻在这方面的压力。 伯顿教授对加中关系未来并不乐观。他表示，美国在拜登上台之后，如果重回世界领袖地位，加拿大会跟随其他的民主国家，在政治、经济方面联手，令中国更难单方面针对某一个民主国家。 他还认为，中国的经济从结构上更加依赖出口。西方国家可以决定一起行动，停止与中国合作，直到中国遵守在联合国以及世贸协定中的承诺。相对来说，这还是比较乐观的结果。 第二个可能，中国领导人继续一带一路，团结一些国家与西方的经济同盟对抗，这可能会导致下一个东西方冷战，甚至热战，包括可能的在南海以及台湾的战争。 伯顿教授表示，真是太遗憾了，双方关系到了这样的程度。 他还评价说，客观地说，加拿大的对华政策是不成功的。加拿大特鲁多政府承诺，在今年年底要“重新设定对华政策”，这是因为国内的压力，民意主流认为，加拿大应该对华更加强硬，而反对党的批评声浪也很大。 伯顿教授对于加拿大政府未来的对华政策的建议是，需要更多的加拿大人，对中国共产党的规则和语言有更深入的了解，要多与中国变革力量合作，也需要有更多的投入，比如，在加拿大国内，警方如何保护受到骚扰的华人异见人士等。 华裔学者、多伦多和平与外交研究所的姜闻然教授认为，中国这些年的崛起才是令加拿大和其他西方国家担忧害怕的真正原因。 他认为，中国政府的结构是中国人无法自己改变的。加拿大和西方需要一个框架性的对华政策，同时以历史观来对待中国的人权和民主的问题，需要领导人有主观能动性来处理与中国的关系，以避免冲突。 而加拿大著名的记者和作家黄明珍（Jan Wong)以及中国问题专家傅尧乐教授(Bernie Frolic)也认为，目前是加中关系的转折点，世界的局势正在变化，加拿大也面临选择。中国这几年的行为已经是个超级大国了，之前的加中友谊，或是加拿大对中国的期待等已经没有什么作用了。加拿大的问题是如何在与中国继续交流的情况下，保护加拿大的利益。 而自由党联邦议员董晗鹏（Han Dong）的看法是，加中没有根本的利益冲突，应该可以从理解走向合作。不过，他觉得当务之急，需要中国改善对两名加拿大公民康明凯（Michael Kovrig）和斯帕弗（Michael Spavor）的待遇，向加拿大人展示中国可以人道地，公开透明地对待他们的案子。 加中关系在五十年之际处于不确定的状态中，双方的领导人是否有智慧，可以在避免冲突的前提下，进行修复和发展？没有人能说的清。 而且，董晗鹏也给在加拿大的华裔提出了建议：懂得保护自己，保障自己的权益，以及不被边缘化。 感谢收听我们总共七集的“加中建交50年”系列节目。如果您在收听之后有什么感受和见解，欢迎发邮件给我们：China@rcinet.ca 祝您健康愉快！ 2016年9月，在杭州举行的G20会议上，加拿大总理特鲁多和中国国家主席习近平会面。THE CANADIAN PRESS/Adrian Wyld

“战狼外交，不确定、和转变；失望、失败、战略、以及耐心” 欢迎来到RCI “加中建交50周年”特别系列节目的第六期：加中关系中的几个关键词 上个星期，我们采访了熟悉加中关系的五位嘉宾，他们与中国都有密切的联系，多年来关注中国事务。 在采访中，我问了五位嘉宾同样一个问题：如果让你用四个字形容加中建交五十年，会是什么词？（别问我为什么是四个词，而不是更多或更少） 五位嘉宾的侧重点可能不同，但是高频率出现的词总结起来是：战狼外交，不确定、和转变。然后是，失望、失败、战略、以及耐心。 欢迎收听系列节目的第六部分：加中建交50年，几个关键词：“战狼外交”、失败、不确定、与转变... （时长：13分07秒） https://www.rcinet.ca/zh/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2020/12/1203-episode-6-mixed.mp3 而且，他们一致认为，孟晚舟引渡案以及加拿大两名麦克 （康明凯，Michael Kovrig和斯帕弗，Michael Spavor)被中国逮捕且遭到严酷对待，成为了加中关系最大的转折点，主要是事件引爆了两国民众间对对方态度的大转变。再加上新冠疫情的影响，两国关系跌入了五十年来的最低谷。 今年夏天，加拿大的一项民调显示，对中国有好感的民众比例只有14%；而超过半数民众认为，加拿大自由党政府对华政策应该更强硬。 加拿大民众对中国正面印象从2005年的58%下降到2020年的14%。 最早担任加拿大外交官员的学者傅尧乐先生（Bernie Frolic）选择的是： 探索成功但失败了、战狼外交、目前很挣扎，充满不确定。 曾于七零年代留学中国的国际政治关系学者、加中问题研究专家查尔斯·伯顿教授（Charles Burton）选择的是： 失败，非常失望、非常伤心。这不是我期待的加中关系走向。 加拿大自由党议员董晗鹏(Han Dong) :从理解到发展。 他认为，加拿大与中国没有根本的经济或是外交冲突，希望中国能够展现善意，比如善待加拿大两名麦克。 而他也特别提醒加拿大华裔，在这个艰难时期，要努力对抗种族主义，以及不要被边缘化。 著名记者、作家黄明珍（Jan Wong) 的形容是： 50年代，乐观，正面；60年代，小心谨慎；70年代，希望期待；80年代， 兴奋，期待与中国的经济发展。但现在是警惕的、负面的、小心的。主要还是在于，过去加中关系的友好历史已经不再被重视了，现在中国关心的只是他们在二十一世纪的国家地位。 多伦多和平与外交研究所亚洲项目主持人姜闻然教授选择的是： 第一个：战略眼光；第二个：国家利益；第三个：主观能动性；第四个：历史观 —— 这个选择更像是他对加中关系走向的期许。 感谢收听今天的 “加中建交五十年”第六期：加中关系中的几个关键词。明天，会是我们这个系列的最后一期。明天再会。
