PRESS REVIEW – Friday, April 4: We bring you reactions from South Korea after the constitutional court upholds parliament's impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol. What comes next for the disgraced leader? Also, we look at reactions from Hungary after Prime Minister Viktor Orban withdraws his country from the ICC. Plus: a US tourist is arrested after leaving a can of Diet Coke for an isolated tribe in the Andaman Islands and King Charles plays a carrot instrument in his first public outing since being hospitalised. We bring you early reactions from the South Korean press after President Yoon Suk Yeol was officially removed from office. All eight constitutional judges voted to uphold the impeachment ruling against Yoon in a verdict handed down this Friday. The Korea Herald offers us an autopsy of his career. It notes that he was once touted as an anti-corruption investigator, but no one thought he would meet the same fate as ex-president Park Geun-hye, whom he helped put behind bars. The conservative leader was impeached by parliament last December after an ill-fated move to impose martial law, albeit for only six hours. It nonetheless plunged South Korea into a political and financial crisis: soldiers were deployed to government sites, clashes with citizens ensued and the unrest evoked painful memories of military rule. The Korea Times focuses on the jubilation of South Koreans, millions of whom are celebrating the president's ouster. The paper also looks at what's to come. Yoon will leave office with no possibility of appealing. He'll lose special privileges like a presidential pension or a national burial. More importantly, he'll face multiple criminal investigations, including for treason. Probes into scandals could also begin. He will face legal accountability, and possibly prison time if found guilty. Fresh elections will be held in two months. In the editorial pages, a lot of reactions came in before the verdict but are still noteworthy. Hanyoreh, a liberal paper, urged the court to remove Yoon from office. It's the only way to restore the nation's trust and fulfill its role as the last bulwark of the constitution, the paper added. JoongAng Daily, a conservative paper of reference, focused more on its call for calm and unity after the court's ruling. It reminds readers that Korean democracy was built on the sacrifices of the citizens and urged citizens to "end this turmoil" by accepting the court's ruling.Next, we look at reactions after Hungary's announced withdrawal from the International Criminal Court (ICC). Prime Minister Viktor Orban announced the decision amid an official visit by Israeli PM Binyamin Netanyahu to Hungary, which is the first EU country to leave the ICC. The German-language Hungarian website Budapester Zeitung goes with the headline "Danke Viktor", echoing comments by Netanyahu thanking Orban for his decision. The daily reminds us that Orban invited Netanyahu last November after the ICC issued an arrest warrant against him for alleged war crimes in Gaza. Orban reiterated his criticism of the court, saying it has not been impartial for years and functions as a political court. The Jewish News Syndicate, a conservative news syndicate of Israeli and Jewish news, hails Orban for "systematically standing up against EU policies selected by the elite in Brussels and West European capitals". It adds that those who stand up against Islamic radicalism and progressive globalist order can thank Netanyahu, Donald Trump and Viktor Orban. For one cartoonist though, Berend Vonk, the red carpet rolled out for Netanyahu in Hungary is merely the blood that the men have shed through their ruthless politics.In other news: the New York Post reports that India has arrested an "idiotic" US tourist for visiting a remote tribe in the Andaman Islands. The 24-year-old influencer travelled for nine hours in a rubber dinghy to reach the North Sentinel islands. He tried to get the tribe's attention by blowing a whistle and left soda and a coconut as an offering, before being arrested. As the Post reports, the man fashions himself as a daredevil traveller, having travelled to Afghanistan and posed with the Taliban. The hunter-gatherer tribe on the Sentinel Islands are extremely isolated and therefore have no immunity from modern diseases. The last person to visit them, a Christian missionary who tried to convert them, was promptly killed. So you could say this tourist got lucky!Finally, Britain's King Charles III has made his return to public duties after a brief period of hospitalisation related to his cancer treatment. The king returned to public service with a heartwarming video of him with the London Vegetable Orchestra. They are the UK's only musical ensemble to play instruments made of local vegetables. Take a look at this video of King Charles playing the most royal of vegetables: the carrot, filmed by the royal family's cameraman!

Since relocating to Jeju Island in 2017, Park Geun-joo has been capturing the essence of Jeju's buildings through his photography. He reimagines these structures with colors and shapes, creating images that resemble paintings. His work explores the boundary between reality and idealism, encouraging viewers to reflect on this interplay. Buildings that we often pass by unnoticed, unaware of their presence, are reborn as works of art through his lens. His photography invites people to closely observe and appreciate the details of everyday life. Park operates a studio in the small village of Jongdal-ri in Jeju City, where he is also working on a series titled “Romantic Melancholy”—a collection of photographs capturing the back appearance of local residents.

It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! She speaks with John Carl Baker, director of programs at Ploughshares, to discuss the ongoing political unrest in South Korea. Then, she speaks with Giorgio Cafiero, CEO of Gulf State Analytics & adjunct assistant professor at Georgetown University, to discuss the recent developments in Syria after rebel forces entered Aleppo. First, Emma runs through updates on the search for the UnitedHealthcare CEO's killer, SCOTUS' oral arguments on Tennessee's ban on trans care for minors, Memphis Police discrimination, Trump's elite-led cabinet, questions about Tulsi Gabbard's loyalties, Pete Hegseth's myriad embarrassments, Israel's genocide in Gaza, Trump's legal woes, and the future of Democratic leadership, before parsing a little deeper through yesterday's oral arguments for US v. Skrmetti in front of the Supreme Court, and the fear that they might uphold Tennessee's violently transphobic policy. John Carl Baker then joins, diving right into a step-by-step breakdown of how South Korean President Yoon's attempt (and failure) to declare and enforce martial law last Tuesday developed, beginning with his declaration and assembling of soldiers and police around the National Assembly, through the rampant protests to allow legislatures to enter the assembly to vote down Yoon's attempted coup, and to the overwhelming 190-0 (in an assembly of 300) veto of the President's martial law. After briefly touching on the limited vocal support for Yoon from among his conservative allies, Baker steps back to explore the history of South Korea's conservative ties to dictatorship, beginning with Japan's brutal 30-year occupation of Korea through the end of the Second World War – an occupation bolstered by cooperation and support from conservative, capitalist, and right-wing Koreans – and through the sequential regimes of Chon Doo-hwan and Park Chung-hee from the 1960s-80s, with Park Geun-hye (daughter of Chung-hee) even rising to the Presidency just a decade ago only to be impeached over her corrupt practices, also unpacking the continued prevalence of authoritarian strains within the South Korean right over the last century. He and Emma then look at the non-coup-related failures of Yoon's regime that created both his overwhelming unpopularity and the strong opposition he sought to undermine via coup, wrapping up the interview by unpacking the role of the US in backing Yoon's regime, and what the ideal future of US-Korean relations would look like to the Korean electorate. Professor Giorgio Cafiero then joins, first running through updates on the recent sweeping offensives by Syrian rebels, successfully taking both Aleppo and Hama from the Assad regime, before taking a sharp step back as he walks us through the evolution of the 13-year Civil War, beginning with the Arab spring and spurring the intervention of myriad regional and international actors, through the 2015 intensification of conflict at the hand of increased Russian support for Assad and Iranian-backed groups, and to the lull in tensions that started in 2020, only to break this past week. After parsing through the more specific history of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, and the deep and complex ties between the Syrian and Iranian regimes, Emma and Professor Cafiero tackle the prevalent role of external conflicts in how the impact of these Syrian Rebel conquests will unfold, with Iran's involvement in Hezbollah's conflict with Israel and Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine giving two major parties conflicting interests. Cafiero expands on the precarious state of the Syrian state at this moment, looking both at what that means for a potential (however brief) lull in conflict and for the future of the Syrian government, before wrapping up with the ongoing role of Israeli relations in shaping Middle Eastern politics. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they listen to Eddie from Fort Worth's Stetson Kennedy recommendations, talk with Gary from North Carolina about the divide between Trump voters and down-ballot GOP voters, and admire Jane Fonda's performance on Bill Maher. Meg from Seattle unpacks the harrowing and life-threatening impacts of repressive reproductive care, and Megyn Kelly aids in the attempted resuscitation of Pete Hegseth's potential career, plus, your calls and IM!

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. 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.

The third episode, "Trouble in the Blue House," dissects the corruption scandal often called "South Korea's Watergate." When former President Park Geun-hye was first elected in 2013, she held widespread conservative support and was internationally celebrated as the country's first female president. No one could have predicted that just 5 years later, she would end up embroiled in a corruption case that would leave her disgraced, impeached, and sentenced to 20 years in prison. Although not without its controversy, Park Geun-hye's impeachment shows how anti-corruption movements can pursue accountability and reform while protecting democratic norms.

I Pentagon leaks hanno dimostrato che Washington ha spiato i funzionari di Seul a proposito dell'invio di armi o meno in Ucraina. Non è la prima volta. Per i conservatori sudcoreani si tratta di falsità, che non mettono in discussione la relazione con gli Usa. Per i progressisti è l'ennesimo esempio di sudditanza di Seul nei confronti di Washington. Questo scontro tra conservatori e progressisti sudcoreani su come gestire l'amico americano non è una novità. È la costante di un Paese che volente o nolente, da settant'anni, deve fare i conti coi pro e i contro di essere uno stretto alleato degli americani in Asia Orientale.

In this capacity, she liaised with the public sector, traditional and niche media markets, constituency groups, and civic and social justice organizations. She worked with NEA leadership on branding and positioning and was responsible for forging strategic partnerships, internal and external messaging, conducting scans on grassroots and grasstop organizations, and engaging communities in bilateral conversations on education, labor, and civic and social justice issues.  Before joining the NEA, Tiffany served as the Manager of News & Public Affairs and the Liaison to the Executive Branch for Black Entertainment Television (BET) Networks.

She was also a former Producer at America's Most Wanted and Director of Communications for Brilliant Corners Research & Strategies where she worked on the Obama for America Presidential Campaign and secured high-level visibility for company president Cornell Belcher. In this episode, we discussed: how Tiffany's personal journey has informed her approach to creating value for her network. Tiffany's key strategies and mindset hacks for building powerful professional relationships in Washington.  how 'The Beat' is helping policy professionals in Washington stay on top of what's happening and find relevant networking opportunities.     Resources: The Beat (send news leads to: info@thebeatdc.com) The Raben Group Task Rabbit The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver   NEWS ROUNDUP Donald Trump named former New York City Mayor and early Trump supporter Rudy Giuliani as an informal cybersecurity advisor. He'll head the President-elect's cybersecurity working group. Abby Phillip in the Washington Post writes that, since leaving the New York City Mayorship, Giuliani has started his own cybersecurity consulting firm-Giuliani Partners. Now a bunch of people are saying, "What the hell does Guiliani know about cybsecurity?" Well, Motherboard's Jason Koebler and Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai looked into it and found some folks familiar with Giuliani and Partners' work ... It turns out their expertise is more along the lines of telling companies how to legally cover their asses if they're the victim of  cyberbreach, as opposed to advising on actual cybersecurity solutions. So it's looking like this job is more of a thank you for to Giuliani for his help during the campaign. It also turns out, as Rob Price at Business Insider found, that Giuliani's company website--giulianisecurity.com--is replete with vulnerabilities. -- You've heard all about Trump's dossier--people calling him PEEOTUS and things like that on Twitter, so we won't go into all the details on that--especially since the dossier is still largely unsubstantiated. But Scott Shane put together a nice summary just in case you don't want to sit there all day trying to figure out what's going on with this. Basically, this all started when the Republicans retained a company called Fusion GPS to look into Trump to figure out how to hurt him politically. Then, when it turned out he was going to be the Republican nominee, the Clinton campaign took over and retained Fusion to continue the investigation. The dossier has been floating around Washington for quite sometime, but the President and President-elect were briefed on it, and  that's when it made its way to the public via BuzzFeed and other sites. Mr. Trump says the entire dossier is a total fabrication. But if it's a total fabrication--it's pretty detailed, so someone must have had a lot of time on their hands. In any case, the FBI is investigating the claims ... although no one knows if Trump will authorize that investigation to continue. Some are also wondering why FBI Director James Comey was so interested in Hillary Clinton's email but not this. So this issue isn't going away anytime soon, basically, is the takeaway here. -- Matt Hamilton at the LA Times reports that BackPage--the classified ad website -- shut down its adult section last week after the U.S. Senate released a scathing report accusing the company of hiding targeted search terms related to prostitution and child abuse. BackPage Founders Michael Lacey and and James Larkin were scheduled to testify before the Senate Committee on Homeland and Governmental Affairs' subcommittee on investigations. The committee's report alleges that its review of some 1.1 million documents revealed evidence that the company facilitated sex trafficking and child abuse. Testimony from a BackPage site moderator seems to show the company actively removed search terms so they wouldn't lose ad revenue, but still keep the ads posted without actively promoting crimes. But BackPage says it adheres to the the Communications Decency Act which provides immunity to websites that host content by third parties. The company also claimed the government investigation was an violation of its First Amendment Rights One children's advocate--Lois Lee--founder of Children of the Night--even said the site has actually helped law enforcement identify predators and locate missing children. But Senators Bob Portman--the Republican from Ohio and as Democratic Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill--both of who led the bi-partisan investigation-- say BackPages's decision to shut down the adult section shows how damning the evidence they uncovered was.   -- Congress has selected its leadership for its communications and tech-related committees. Senate Commerce Committee Chair John Tune announced that Mississippi Republican Senator Roger Wicker will lead the Senate Subcommittee on Communications, Technology, Innovation and the Internet. House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Greg Walden announced Tennessee Republican Marsha Blackburn, who opposes net neutrality and prevented efforts to build municipal broadband networks, will lead the House Communications and Technology subcommittee. Jon Brodkin reports in Ars Technica. -- Aaron Smith at Pew reports that a record number of Americans have smartphones and access to broadband at home. Seventy-seven percent of Americans have smartphones, with explosive growth among adults over age 50. Americans with access to broadband at home increased 6 points to 73%. Also, Seventy percent of Americans use social media and half own a tablet. -- iPhone app purchasers may sue Apple for not allowing them to purchase apps outside of the Apple store, according to the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, overturning the lower court's ruling. The decision doesn't affect the merits of the case brought against Apple, but if the plaintiff's win, it could open the door for more competition in the app market. Stephen Nells and Dan Levine have the story in Reuters. -- The independent prosecutor in South Korea investigating the corruption scandal that has led to the suspension of the country's first female president -- Park Geun-hye -- has asked a local court to issue an arrest warrant for Lee Jae--yong--the head of Samsung. The prosecutors allege Lee used corporate money to bribe Park for favors. The court is expected to review the request on Wednesday. Anna Fifield has more at the Washington Post.  -- Finally, The Email Privacy Act is alive again, after passing unanimously in the House and dying in the Senate last year. The bill would require authorities to get warrants for emails as well as social media data, including data older than 180 days.

“Hàn Quốc có phải là một quốc gia tàn ác, khi mà họ đã đưa phần lớn tổng thống của họ vào tù sau khi kết thúc nhiệm kỳ? Tôi hi vọng xã hội sẽ nhận thức được rằng không nên có thêm những tổng thống Hàn Quốc bất hạnh nữa.” Đây là lời nói của giáo sư Ra Jong-il (라종일 ) giáo sư tại Đại Học Gachon – tác giả của cuốn sách “Những tổng thống bất hạnh của Hàn Quốc” đã đưa ra quan điểm về cách đối xử tàn bạo mà những cựu tổng thống Hàn Quốc phải gánh chịu sau khi kết thúc nhiệm kỳ. Kể từ khi Quốc Hội Hàn Quốc bầu Lý Thừa Vãn trở thành tổng thống của Đại Hàn Dân Quốc, 13 nhân vật đã lần lượt được bầu chọn để ngồi vào vị trí quyền lực nhất của quốc gia này. Tuy nhiên, phần lớn trong số họ đều không có một “cái kết” có hậu sau khi mãn nhiệm. Cho tới nay, có tới 9 trong số 13 cựu tổng thống đã bị ám sát, tự tử, sống lưu vong, buộc từ chức, hoặc bị kết án tù dài hạn. Danh sách những tổng thống “bất hạnh” bao gồm: Tổng thống đầu tiên Lý Thừa Vãn (이승만) – buộc sống lưu vong tại Hawai đến khi chết, tổng thống Yun Bo-seon (윤보선) bị ép từ chức sau 2 năm cầm quyền, tổng thống Park Chung-hee (박정희) – bị bắn chết ngay trong bữa tiệc tại phủ tổng thống, tổng thống Choi Kyu-hah (최규하) bị tiếm quyền và từ chức sau chưa tới một năm cầm quyền, tổng thống Chun Doo Hwan (Jeon Du-hwan 전두환) bị kết án 8 năm tù, tổng thống Roh Tae-woo bị tuyên án 20 năm tù (노태우), tổng thống Roh Moo-Hyun (노무현) tự sát sau khi kết nhiệm kỳ 1 năm, tổng thống Lee Myung-bak (이명박) bị kết án 17 năm tù, tổng thống Park Geun-hye (박근혜) bị quốc hội phế truất và bị kết án tới 20 năm tù. Với những thống kê như trên, tổng thống Hàn Quốc đã thực sự trở thành một nghề vô cùng “nguy hiểm” trên thế giới. Nền dân chủ bậc nhất thế giới Theo đài KBS tổng hợp, Hàn Quốc đã chuyển mình từ nhóm “dân chủ khiếm khuyết” sang nhóm “dân chủ đầy đủ” vào năm 2021 và đứng thứ 2 Châu Á chỉ sau Đài Loan. Những tiếng hô vang “Park Geun Hee từ chức”, những ngọn nến dường như cháy suốt đêm, hàng trăm nghìn người biểu tình chiếm đóng khu vực phía trước dinh tổng thống và hàng loạt vị trí khác tại Seoul trong nhiều tuần liền hồi cuối năm 2016 là minh chứng rõ ràng nhất về nền dân chủ của Hàn Quốc. Người dân nước này đã chứng minh cho cả thế giới thấy rằng, họ có khả năng đưa một tổng thống lên cầm quyền và sẵn sàng hạ bệ họ nếu những người này liên quan đến những bê bối tham nhũng. Hơn ai hết, người dân Hàn Quốc hiểu rõ và trân trọng giá trị dân chủ mà họ đã phải vất vả mới dành được từ tay những nhà lãnh đạo độc tài. Một trong số những phong trào đòi dân chủ từ tay độc tài nổi tiếng nhất là phong trào dân chủ Gwangju (광주 민주화 항쟁). Hơn 2000 người dân Hàn đã ngã xuống vì bị chính quyền tổng thống Chun Doo-hwan đàn áp đẫm máu. Người dân Hàn Quốc vẫn luôn nhắc lại sự kiện này bằng tất cả những gì họ có thể thể hiện được như xây đài tưởng niệm, làm phim, viết sách, và soạn nhạc cho thế hệ sau mãi mãi không thể quên được những mất mát mà cha ông họ phải chịu đựng để có được một nền dân chủ hàng đầu Châu Á. Xã hội phân cực đáng báo động “Chúng ta phải đoàn kết lại để xây dựng Đại Hàn Dân Quốc” – đây là một tuyên bố ngay sau khi đắc cử của Tân thống thống Yoon Seok-yeol. Tuyên bố này và lượng phiếu chênh lệch chỉ 0.8% trong đợt bầu cử tổng thống vừa rồi đã chỉ ra một sự thật rằng “xã hội Hàn Quốc đang phân cực một cách đáng báo động”. Khi nhắc đến sự phân cực này, giáo sư Choi Bae-geun (최배근) đã nhắc tới sự bất bình đẳng trong thu nhập, sự suy thoái cơ cấu nhân sự, công việc liên tục rời khỏi Hàn Quốc khiến cho ngày càng ít việc làm được tạo ra, người nghèo sẽ lại càng nghèo hơn còn tầng lớp thượng lưu thì lại càng ngày càng giàu, tài sản của họ lại được thừa kế bởi thế hệ sau. Ngoài ra tình trạng lão hóa dân số cũng khắc sâu thêm vấn đề này, càng ngày càng nhiều người già nhưng số lượng trẻ em lại giảm khiến cán cân thế hệ lệch hẳn về một bên. Những sự phân cực này có thể đóng một vai trò quan trọng trong phân cực chính trị. Theo báo Hani, sự phân cực về chính trị ở mức độ rất nghiêm trọng đang hiện hữu tại Hàn Quốc. Điều này dẫn đến sự căm ghét lẫn nhau giữa hai đảng chính trị tại Hàn Quốc, họ không công nhận những nỗ lực của nhau khi đảng viên đảng đối lập đang nắm quyền tổng thống. Tuy nhiên sự phân cực này nguy hiểm hơn ở khu vực các cử tri, bởi vì họ không thể thỏa hiệp giống như giới “tinh hoa chính trị”. Họ ủng hộ đảng phái vì những lời hứa, nhưng nếu những lời hứa đó tan thành mây khói trong thời gian đảng đó cầm quyền thì sự căm giận sẽ thực sự được bộc phát. Và đảng cầm quyền ở lần bầu cử sau cần phải làm gì đó để giải quyết được quả bom đang chờ phát nổ này. Anh Gyu-Dong tại đại học KyungPook cho biết khi được phỏng vấn: “Do mâu thuẫn giữa đảng cánh tả và cánh hữu trong quá trình hiện đại hóa sau chiến tranh Triều Tiên, cả hai bên đã cố gắng tấn công mỗi bên đối lập để dành quyền kiểm soát quốc gia. Theo suy nghĩ của tôi, một sự cố tai tiếng nào đó có thể xảy ra khi một tổng thống điều hành quốc gia. Tuy nhiên, đảng đối lập không thể tha thứ cho tổng thống, vì vậy họ đã xúi giục người dân và sau đó là buộc tội tổng thống sau khi họ kết thúc nhiệm kỳ.” Mối quan hệ giữa tài phiệt và chính trị Có một tầng lớp tinh hoa của Hàn Quốc được gọi là Cheabol, họ là những tài phiệt có tập đoàn lớn và cha truyền con nối. Họ được cho là nắm giữ tới 80% nền kinh tế Hàn Quốc, chính vì vậy mối quan hệ “đôi bên cùng có lợi” (win-win) giữa nhóm tài phiệt và đảng phái luôn hiện hữu. Một ví dụ rõ nét nhất là mối quan hệ giữa “thái tử” Samsung và bà Park, cựu tổng thống Hàn Quốc giai đoạn 2013 - 2017. Ông này đã hối lộ tổng thống Park và người bạn của bà này để nhận lại sự ủng hộ trong việc kế vị và đảm bảo quyền kiểm soát tập đoàn Samsung. Sau đó, ông đã bị kết án 5 năm tù và được tha bổng sau chỉ hơn 2 năm ngồi tù, mới gần đây nhân vật này đã đại diện tập đoàn Samsung đón tiếp tổng thống Yoon và nguyên thủ Mỹ Joe Biden đến thăm nhà máy sản xuất chất bán dẫn lớn nhất thế giới. Bên trong của một xã hội dân chủ lại đang tồn tại một hệ thống bao gồm nhiều gia tộc độc tài sẵn sàng làm những việc đằng sau hậu trường để đạt được một mục đích nhất định, và dường như họ thường thắng trong cuộc chơi này. Sự chăm sóc đặc biệt từ truyền thông Trước khi được bầu làm tổng thống, các ứng cử viên sẽ được giới báo chí chăm sóc “đặc biệt”, vì dường như hầu hết đời tư của họ sẽ được đưa tin công khai với công chúng. Ngoài ra, các ứng cử viên sáng giá sẽ có những buổi tranh luận công khai trên truyền hình để cử tri hiểu rõ và quyết định nên bầu ai với tấm phiếu của mình. Và trong thời gian này, những phát ngôn của họ sẽ được công khai và bàn luận trên đủ các trang báo cũng như cử tri. Một ví dụ cho trường hợp này chính là lời phát biểu của ông Yoon (trong thời gian trước bầu cử) khi được báo Joogang phỏng vấn. Ông Yoon tuyên bố“sẽ tiến hành điều tra các hành vi tiêu cực của chính quyền ông Moon (Moon Jae-in)”nếu ông Yoon đắc cử. Báo chí được xem như quyền lực thứ 4, báo chí có thể tạo ra làn sóng dư luận hoặc có thể nhấn chìm một vụ việc nào đó bằng khả năng vô hạn của họ. Tổng thống không chỉ là tổng tư lệnh điều hành một quốc gia, đó còn là vị trí cao nhất mà cá nhân một chính trị gia có thể đạt được. Để trở thành tổng thống tại Hàn Quốc, ứng cử viên phải trải qua quá trình xác minh sơ bộ và sau đó là bầu cử công khai. Tuy nhiên, kết cục của hầu hết tổng thống tại Hàn Quốc lại là những kết cục đáng buồn. Từ đống đổ nát của chế độ thuộc địa và chiến tranh Liên Triều, những tổng thống của Hàn đã chỉ huy đất nước để đạt được “Kỳ tích sông Hán” và đưa đất nước phát triển thành một đất nước tự do dân chủ thuộc top đầu thế giới. Nhưng kết cục của họ lại quá bi thảm nếu so sánh với nửa còn lại của bán đảo Triều Tiên, nơi quyền lực được truyền nối từ thế hệ này sang thế hệ khác.

People around the world are used to expecting a certain level of corruption from their leaders. Greed and self-interest are a part of the universal human experience. What most people aren't used to, however, is the idea that the leader of their country may be subservient to a shadowy religious figure that has been manipulating their life for over three decades. Join us for this episode of "No One is Competent" as we go over the Park Geun-hye scandal, one of the most intriguing and bizarre events in South Korean politics.

Today, I'm ready to share the column. Usually, I share the news, but today is exceptional. There is no major difference between Column and Blog. I may say the following issue should be taken over to the next generation. Comfort Woman is the most hesitant and complicated topic. The Japanese government founded the foundation in Korea to support former victims of wartime sexual slavery. Last November, South Korea announced the desolvation from that foundation. South Korea said the foundation didn't sufficiently reflect the opinions of the women. In announcing the decision, Seoul's ministry of gender equality and family, which managed the foundation, said: "We will try our best in setting up policies to recover the honor and dignity of the victims. I think it's fair enough. As you know, people are protesting for the victims. South Korean people are offended when the Japanese Government offers apologies and money. Japanese has kept defending the subject from the critical opinions that point out the subtle survey of government's institution. TBS Radio's program "Session 22" interviewed Yoshiaki Harada the former leader of the international information inquisition. The LDP organized the group which is very defended of their opinion. The interview shows the LDP's policy very well. And I found this political party stands by side of revisionism. The issue is: Military forced the comfort women. Under the name of "Japan–Korea Treaty of 1910" Japanese government started colonizing Korea. Built a parliament and summoned politicians. Banned the anti-government demonstrations and send the military police scaring people. Historian says 200,000 women were forced or tricked into working in military brothels between 1932 and 1945. 1993, Kono-statement was published by Chief Cabinet Secretary Yōhei Kōno. "The then Japanese military was, directly or indirectly, involved in the establishment and management of the comfort stations" "The recruitment of the comfort women was conducted mainly by private recruiters who acted in response to the request of the military." "In many cases, they were recruited against their own will, through coaxing, coercion, etc." "At times, administrative/military personnel directly took part in the recruitments." "They lived in misery at comfort stations under a coercive atmosphere." At the moment, only 27 of the victims were alive, out of 240 who were registered with the South Korean government. Whole world's eyes focused on the victims. New victims were found, more testimonies were revealed. 2015, an agreement was made between Japan's prime minister Abe and previous Koren's president Park Geun-hye. The victim's family and many citizens complained about that agreement. More than 80 statues of comfort women were built all over the world so far. Japan contributed about US9m to establish the foundation. About US$3.9m has been paid to 34 surviving victims and 58 families of deceased victims according to South Korea's Yonhap news. But the Japanese Government didn't show any counter-evidence: Military forced the comfort women. And the victims are yet to be confirmed as a comfort woman. Today in Japan, people are on the Golden Week which provides 10days off this year. And today is the last day as Heisei era. Tomorrow, people spend the day in the new era. As the time past, people forget the fact that we invaded the country and human rights. The memory you obtained in those days were stood on the tragic history. That what I want you to know.

Since 2009, the Singapore-based non-profit has facilitated training workshops for everyday North Koreans in Economics, Entrepreneurship and Urban Planning in metropolitan Pyongyang and elsewhere around the country. In this conversation, Chosun Exchange Associate Director of Research Dr. Andray Abrahamian discusses how the introduction of some aspects of a free market economy under the Kim Jong-eun regime is changing the way North Koreans look at capitalism. We'll also talk about the prospects for further change in North Korean society and discuss how initiatives like Chosun Exchange could impact how the United States, South Korea and other countries approach North Korea policy.  Also: how can political leadership in the United States and the Koreas move past saber-rattling and militaristic rhetoric? How will South Korean policy towards the North change in the post-Park Geun-hye era? And what's it like to fly Air Koryo? Music on this episode is 'Great Comrade Kim Jong-eun, We Know Nobody But You' from KCTV State Television: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLbWjwIwKrI This episode was produced in collaboration with the University of Michigan's Nam Center for Korean Studies.  To see Andray Abrahamian's full Nam Center Undergraduate Fellows lecture, look for “Social Changes You See When Working in North Korea” on Youtube.

Een miljoen mensen gingen dit weekend de straat op in Zuid-Korea om het vertrek te eisen van Park Geun-hye . Zij lag al onder vuur, nadat bleek dat haar beste vriendin ongeoorloofde invloed uitoefende op het politieke beleid in een Zuid-Koreaanse variant van onze Greet Hofmans-affaire. President Park weigert ondertussen af te treden, terwijl er nog aanvullende schandalen naar buiten zijn gekomen. In Bureau Buitenland Remco Breuker, Korea-specialist aan de Universiteit van Leiden.
