In this episode of The Korea Pro Podcast, Jeongmin and John dive into President Lee Jae-myung's escalating confrontation with major firms after a series of deadly workplace accidents, with POSCO and SPC under fresh scrutiny. They examine what the government's shift toward aggressive administrative penalties means for business. The hosts also break down why inflation remains volatile despite a steady consumer price index and why South Korea's export outlook is darkening amid U.S. tariffs. They then turn to the upcoming Ulchi Freedom Shield drills — including the decision to postpone half of the planned field exercises — and preview next week's ROK-Vietnam summit and President Lee's Aug. 15 Liberation Day address.

Pokud příští vláda řekne ne zvyšování výdajům na obranu, spojenci na to budou muset zareagovat, říká šéf komunikace GLOBSEC Filip Nerad. Budou před podzimními sněmovními volbami sílit témata bezpečnosti a podpory Ukrajiny? Jak se do kampaně propíše členství České republiky v EU a v NATO? A jak to může fungovat u voličů? Téma pro Marii Bastlovou, sociologa a šéfa výzkumné agentury STEM Martina Buchtíka a jejich hosta, bývalého novináře, dnes ředitele komunikace think-tanku GLOBSEC Filipa Nerada v dalším díle speciálu Ptám se já – Rok voleb.Česká republika se dlouhodobě řadí mezi jednu z nejbezpečnějších zemí světa. Přesto je pro obyvatele téma bezpečí v současnosti jedním ze zásadních témat. Doléhá na ně totiž pokračující válka na Ukrajině. Například podle březnového průzkumu Centra pro výzkum veřejného mínění (CVVM) považuje 66 procent lidí konflikt za hrozbu pro bezpečnost Česka. To si dobře uvědomují i jednotlivé strany. Podpora Ukrajiny, bezpečnost, obrana nebo migrace tak patří v kampani před letošními sněmovními volbami mezi často skloňovaná témata. Závazek pro nastupující vláduJak se bezpečností otázky odrazí ve volbách? Podle Filipa Nerada z think-tanku GLOBSEC bude do značné míry záležet na tom, zda dojde k posunu v řešení války na Ukrajině. Zároveň očekává, že s blížícími se volbami bude sílit zejména téma navyšování výdajů na obranu. „Současná vláda se zavázala, že bude tyto výdaje postupně navyšovat. Plus je tady k tomu závazek navýšit v rámci NATO obranné výdaje až na 5 procent HDP. Takže tady je nějaký závazek i pro nastupující vládu. A teď bude záležet na tom, jestli to vezme za své a bude v tom pokračovat, nebo řekne: ‚Ne, my od toho odstupujeme.‘ Což bude mít samozřejmě dopady právě i směrem k NATO. Spojenci na to budou muset zareagovat a něco to vyvolá,“ upozorňuje Nerad. Strany by se proto měly k tématu peněz na obranu jednoznačně postavit - a svým voličům vysvětlit, jaké mají plány.V obecných bezpečnostních otázkách můžou mít voliči podle sociologa Martina Buchtíka poměrně jasno už nyní. NATO je v Česku populárnější V letošní kampani téměř nejsou slyšet hlasy volající po vystoupení ze Severoatlantické aliance nebo Evropské unie. Jedinou výjimkou je hnutí Stačilo!, které má obecné referendum, včetně referenda o účasti Česka v EU a NATO, ve svém programu. Jak je toto téma dokáže voliče oslovit? „Uvidíme to až podle výsledků voleb a kolik Stačilo! dostane,“ reaguje sociolog Buchtík. „NATO a členství v NATO je v české společnosti výrazně populárnější než v Evropské unii, a to dlouhodobě. Pokud Češi uznávají, že jsme něčeho členy, tak rozhodně víc NATO než Evropské unie. To, že NATO nám pomáhá zajišťovat naši bezpečnost, většina Čechů vnímá pozitivně,“ říká šéf komunikace GLOBSEC Nerad. „V tomto ohledu je zajímavé, že volání po referendu o vystoupení z Evropské unie vlastně po brexitu napříč Evropskou unií opadlo. Strany, které to do té doby měly v programu, viděly, jaké problémy vystoupení z EU přináší. To byla výrazná zpráva pro řadu nacionalistických stran, drtivá většina z nich od toho ustoupila a už to ve svých programech nemají,“ říká Nerad a pokračuje:„Ale přišly s tezí, že chtějí EU změnit zevnitř. Aby byla více unií národních států a ty měly silnější slovo. To, co má třeba Stačilo! ve svém programu, je dnes spíše výjimečné, než že by to byl nějaký evropský trend.“ Jak bude stranám fungovat téma migrace? Jaká evropská témata ještě můžou promluvit do letošních voleb? A čeho se čeští voliči obávají nejvíc? --V bonusovém projektu pořadu Ptám se já – Rok voleb moderátorka Marie Bastlová a sociolog Martin Buchtík glosují zásadní trendy a témata letošních sněmovních voleb.

Piąty przystanek w podróży po dywizjach ligi NFL robimy na zachodzie konferencji NFC. To stamtąd pochodzi czterech z siedmiu ostatnich uczestników Super Bowl po tej stronie drabinki, choć już w samym wielkim finale nie szło im wybitnie. Rok temu tabelę NFC West sensacyjnie zamknęli San Francisco 49ers, którzy sezon wcześniej grali właśnie w Super Bowl, gdzie przegrali dopiero po dogrywce. Czy tym razem przejdą drogę "from worst to first"? A może pozycję lidera utrzymają Los Angeles Rams, którzy dokonali kilku ciekawych wzmocnień i zachowali najważniejszych wolnych agentów? Gruntownych zmian w ofensywie dokonali Seattle Seahawks, którzy w minionym sezonie mieli pecha pod względem tie-breakerów i mimo bilansu 10-7, nie weszli do play-offów. Czy Sam Darnold w nowych barwach udowodni, że poprzedni sezon to nie był jednorazowy wybryk? Stawkę uzupełniają Arizona Cardinals, którzy podwoili liczbę wygranych, a teraz poprawili obronę i chcą namieszać. Zanim jednak skupimy się na NFC West, musimy porozmawiać o decyzji Micah Parsonsa, który zażądał transferu od Dallas Cowboys, podobnie zresztą jak Terry McLaurin od Washington Commanders.TEMATY(0:00) – Wstęp i odliczanka(15:30) – Micah Parsons i Terry McLaurin żądają wymian + mniejsze newsy(36:21) – Los Angeles Rams(59:25) – Seattle Seahawks(1:18:14) – Arizona Cardinals(1:38:31) – San Francisco 49ers(2:03:20) – Ogłoszenia i zakończenieZOSTAŃ PATRONEM: patronite.pl/nflpg
In this episode of Korea Deconstructed, I sit down with Ra Jong-yil, a scholar, diplomat, and influential figure in modern Korean politics. We recorded this conversation in his house in Seoul. Born in 1940 during the Japanese occupation of Korea, Ra Jong-yil has lived through some of the country's most defining historical moments. And, in many cases, helped shape them. We talk about his father's role in the Provisional Government in Shanghai alongside Syngman Rhee, Kim Ku, and Ahn Chang Ho. Ra also reflects on his mentorship of Kim Dae-jung and Roh Moo-hyun, two presidents who helped usher in Korea's democratic era, and with whom he later served in high positions as well as in the role of Ambassador of the ROK in the United Kingdom (2001 - 2003) and Ambassador of the ROK in Japan (2004-2007) The Baekbong Political Culture Research Institute: http://bbi.or.kr/ Inside North Korea's Theocracy (book): https://www.amazon.com/Inside-North-Koreas-Theocracy-Song-thaek/dp/1438473729 Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ra_Jong-yil Thank you to Han Jong-chul for helping me record on location: https://www.instagram.com/the_story_from_you/ Discussion Outline 0:00 Korea Under Occupation 9:10 Baekbong Na Yong-kyun (Jong-Yil's father) 22:30 Liberal Democracy in Korea 44:18 On Kim Dae-jung 1:07:17 On Roh Moo-hyun 1:27:05 On Compassion, Books, and Myths David A.

In this episode of The Korea Pro Podcast, Jeongmin and John unpack the Lee administration's $350 billion pledge to the U.S. — a last-minute concession that averted a sweeping 25% tariff on South Korean exports to the U.S. The hosts examine how the agreement, announced just before the Aug. 1 deadline, includes $100 billion in U.S. energy purchases and $150 billion for shipbuilding cooperation, but remains largely informal and unenforceable. Jeongmin and John also explore structural risks to South Korea's energy and shipbuilding pledges, including limited U.S. capacity, Jones Act restrictions and permitting delays. They compare the deal to Japan and the EU's earlier arrangements, which involved similar headline figures. About the podcast: The Korea Pro Podcast is a weekly 15-minute conversation hosted by Korea Risk Group Executive Director Jeongmin Kim, Editor John Lee and correspondent Joon Ha Park, 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 relations between China and the Republic of Korea have evolved fast over the past more than three decades, marked by a substantial increase in trade and economic interdependence. Bilateral trade has surged by around 50 times since they established diplomatic ties in 1992, with China remaining the ROK's largest trade partner for many consecutive years. The economic interdependence is also underscored by the fact that China received about 40 percent of the ROK's technology exports as of the end of last year.在过去的三十多年里,中国与韩国之间的关系迅速发展,贸易和经济上的相互依存度显著提高。自1992年两国建立外交关系以来,双边贸易增长了约50倍,中国连续多年成为韩国最大的贸易伙伴。经济上的相互依存关系还体现在,截至去年年底,中国接收了韩国约40%的技术出口。China has always valued the mutually beneficial relationship with the ROK, describing the country as an inseparable neighbor and cooperation partner. That was reaffirmed once again by Foreign Minister Wang Yi during a telephone conversation on Monday with his ROK counterpart Cho Hyun, their first exchanges after the inauguration of the new ROK government early last month.中国一直重视与韩国的互利关系,将该国视为不可分割的邻国和合作伙伴。外交部长王毅在周一与韩国外长赵贤哲的电话交谈中再次强调了这一观点。这是自上个月韩国新政府就职以来双方的首次交流。Wang expressed the hope that the new ROK government will ensure that its China policy is "stable, sustainable and predictable", without vacillation. Stressing that China and the ROK should work together to elevate bilateral relations to a higher level, he said that the two sides needed to maintain policy stability, as only in this way will the two countries be able to continue to benefit from their strategic cooperative partnership free from external interference.王表示,希望韩国新政府能够确保其对华政策“稳定、可持续且具有可预测性”,做到坚定不移。他强调,中国和韩国应携手努力,将双边关系提升到更高水平。他还指出,双方需要保持政策的稳定性,只有这样,两国才能不受外部干扰地继续从战略合作伙伴关系中获益。On his part, Cho said the ROK attaches great significance to its relations with China and will promote greater development of the two countries' strategic cooperative partnership.赵表示,韩国方面高度重视与中国的关系,并将推动两国战略合作伙伴关系的进一步发展。All this indicates the two countries are now ready to start from a new beginning to advance their partnership.所有这些都表明,两国现在已准备好从新的起点开始,推进双方的伙伴关系发展。Bilateral ties experienced some difficulties during the ROK's previous administration, mainly due to Seoul aligning itself with the "value diplomacy" of the previous United States administration, which led to it making confrontational moves, such as the upgrading of the US' Terminal High Altitude Area Defense missile system and supporting the US' "Indo-Pacific" strategy to contain China.在韩国上一届政府执政期间,双边关系遭遇了一些困难,主要原因是首尔方面与上一届美国政府推行的“价值外交”政策保持一致,从而采取了对抗性的举措,比如升级美国的“末段高空区域防御”导弹系统,并支持美国的“印太”战略以遏制中国。The adoption of a pragmatic stance by the new ROK administration toward China has been driven by the recognition that sound, stable and ever-deepening China-ROK relations serve the fundamental interests of the two peoples.韩国新政府对华采取务实态度,这一举措源于其认识到,稳固、稳定且不断深化的中韩关系符合两国人民的根本利益。In the past, thanks to their good-neighborly and friendly policy toward one another, China and the ROK have been able to transcend their differences in ideology and social systems, and actively advance exchanges and cooperation across various fields.过去,由于两国之间秉持着睦邻友好、相互包容的政策,中国和韩国得以超越意识形态和社会制度上的差异,积极促进各领域的交流与合作。For example, the China-ROK Free Trade Agreement, which came into effect in 2015, has played a significant role in boosting trade and investment between the two countries. Both countries are currently engaged in negotiations to enhance the liberalization in their services trade and investment, demonstrating their shared commitment to fostering economic growth and cooperation.例如,2015年生效的中韩自由贸易协定在促进两国之间的贸易和投资方面发挥了重要作用。目前,两国正在就进一步扩大服务贸易和投资的自由化程度进行谈判,这表明双方都致力于推动经济增长与合作。However, the evolving geopolitical landscape poses rising challenges to the China-ROK relationship. Since ROK President Lee Jae-myung took office in June, there have been reports that Washington is pressuring Seoul to take on a larger role in countering China, emphasizing the need to modernize their bilateral alliance by beefing up their defense and security cooperation.然而,不断变化的国际政治格局给中韩关系带来了新的挑战。自韩国总统李在明于6月上任以来,有报道称华盛顿方面正向首尔施压,要求其在对抗中国方面发挥更大作用,强调需要通过加强双方的防务和安全合作来使双边联盟现代化。This could potentially strain the ROK's efforts to maintain strategic autonomy. The US has also been seeking the ROK's participation in reshaping global supply chains aimed at decoupling from China, a move that risks harming the long-standing economic partnership between China and the ROK.这可能会对韩国维持战略自主权的努力造成不利影响。美国还一直在寻求韩国参与重塑旨在与中国脱钩的全球供应链,这一举动有可能损害中国与韩国长期以来的经济合作关系。Looking ahead, it is imperative that China and the ROK join hands to navigate these challenges and capitalize on the opportunities for cooperation. Keeping their industry and supply chains stable and unimpeded, and expanding cooperation in areas such as innovation and climate change can serve as positive steps toward strengthening their partnership.展望未来,中国和韩国必须携手共渡这些难关,并抓住合作机遇。保持各自的产业和供应链稳定畅通,并在创新和气候变化等领域扩大合作,将有助于加强两国之间的伙伴关系。The China-ROK relationship stands at a critical juncture, where both countries must carefully balance their strategic interests while fostering mutual trust and cooperation. By upholding the principles of good neighborliness, mutual benefit and win-win outcomes, China and the ROK can continue to build a resilient and productive partnership that contributes to regional and global peace, stability and development.中韩关系正处于一个关键的转折点,两国必须在维护自身战略利益的同时,努力增进相互信任与合作。通过秉持睦邻友好、互利共赢的原则,中国和韩国能够继续构建一个稳固且富有成效的伙伴关系,为地区和全球的和平、稳定与发展做出贡献。 bilateral traden.双边贸易/ˌbaɪˈlætərəl treɪd/strategic cooperative partnershipn.战略合作伙伴关系/strəˈtiːdʒɪk kəʊˈɒpərətɪvˈpɑːtnəʃɪp/

David also dives into why “unsexy” jobs are underrated, how he nearly bankrupted his business before scaling it nationally, and the ways Tony Hsieh of Zappos influenced his approach to company culture. He opens up about his biggest career mistake, the importance of mastering sales as a lifelong skill, how to manage newfound wealth, what he looks for (and avoids) when hiring, and what's next on his entrepreneurial journey.

A potem nagle budzisz się i nie wiesz, czy jesteś w związku, czy w ośrodku odwykowym dla cudzych emocji.W tym odcinku rozmawiam z one & only Kają Gołuchowską (dziennikarką i felietonistką Forbes Women, twórczynią podcastu „Rok dla Ciała” oraz byłą redaktorką naczelną portalu Ofeminin.pl, twórczynią internetową i prawdopodobnie również świetną baristką) o pułapce emocjonalnego ratownictwa. W odcinku mówimy m.in. o tym:– skąd bierze się nasza potrzeba „naprawiania ludzi, których kochamy”,– dlaczego nie jesteśmy ich terapeutkami (i czemu to dobrze),– jak nie zgubić siebie w roli „wiecznie wyrozumiałej i wspierającej”,– i jak zamienić misję ratunkową w prawdziwą relację.To rozmowa dla tych, którzy czują się zmęczeni w relacji – ale nie rozumieją, dlaczego.I dla tych, którzy chcą w końcu zbudować związek, a nie ośrodek terapeutyczny.subskrybuj kanał: https://www.youtube.com/@natalia_kusiak IG: www.instagram.com/nataliakusiak o mnie: https://www.nataliakusiak.comPatronite: https://patronite.pl/pierwszarandka
In this episode of The Korea Pro Podcast, John Lee and Joon Ha unpack a week of sharp developments in South Korea's domestic and foreign policy landscape. They begin with the last-minute postponement of the U.S.-ROK 2+2 economic and security dialogue. With the Aug. 1 deadline for trade negotiations looming, the hosts assess whether the delay signals tactical pressure from Washington as Seoul resists opening its rice and beef markets — and what alternatives, like LNG imports or defense purchases, may be on the table. Next, they turn to the collapse of two cabinet nominations. Gender minister nominee Kang Sun-woo withdrew after backlash over her remarks on sexual consent and staff treatment, while education minister nominee Lee Jin-sook was dropped due to plagiarism accusations. The hosts explore what these withdrawals mean for the administration's reform agenda and internal vetting process. Also featured is Korea Pro's latest investigation into the Korea Foundation. John introduces Chad O'Carroll's expose on how the government-linked nonprofit directed $9.4 million to U.S. think tanks without registering under U.S. foreign agent laws. Joon Ha also promotes his own new analysis on President Lee Jae-myung's plan to centralize oversight of defense exports, aimed at improving coordination and boosting South Korea's competitiveness in key arms contracts. Key developments to watch in the week ahead include the expected rescheduling of the postponed 2+2 tariff talks, with both sides aiming to meet before the Aug. 1 deadline. Sunday marks the anniversary of the Korean War Armistice, likely to bring official statements and memorial events. Meanwhile, confirmation reports for the unification, veterans, and defense ministers are still pending at the National Assembly, though the president is expected to act swiftly once they are adopted. About the podcast: The Korea Pro Podcast is a weekly 15-minute conversation hosted by Korea Risk Group Executive Director Jeongmin Kim, Editor John Lee and correspondent Joon Ha Park, 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.

North Korea's ruling Kim family has orchestrated not one but two leadership successions during its over seven decades in power, and may well be preparing for a third. But the success of such transitions in authoritarian states is far from certain and depends in large part on how rulers manage the elites that compose their power base, a new book argues. This week, researchers Edward Goldring and Peter Ward join the podcast to discuss their new volume about the tools that the Kim family dictatorship has used to facilitate leadership transitions. They explore how successors must rely on their predecessor's power base to govern while building their own inner circle of elites, and they explain why autocrats don't necessarily want to use forceful means like purges to exert control. Ward also talks about a forthcoming paper that digs into the ways in which South Korean society discriminates against North Korean defectors despite a pervasive belief in a Korean ethnic identity, as well as about a second upcoming paper on the factors that make North Koreans more likely to consume ROK media in violation of state censorship laws. Edward Goldring is a lecturer in comparative politics in the School of Social and Political Sciences at the University of Melbourne, and Peter Ward is a research fellow at the Sejong Institute in Seoul. They are the co-authors of the new book “Authoritarian Survival and Leadership Succession in North Korea and Beyond” from Cambridge University Press.

South Korea and China have a complex relationship characterized by economic interdependence, strategic competition, and regional security concerns. Navigating this delicate balance has been a defining challenge for every South Korean president. Newly elected President Lee Jae Myung has assumed power at a time of increasing US-China strategic competition as well as uncertain global supply chains and growing threat from North Korea. Could this new administration mark a shift in Seoul's approach to Beijing? Or will President Lee maintain strategies similar to that of President Yoon?To discuss ROK-China relations, and President Lee's approach to this intricate issue, we are joined on the podcast today by Dr. Ramon Pacheco-Pardo. He is a professor of international relations at King's College London and the KF-VUB Korea Chair at the Center for Security, Diplomacy and Strategy in the Brussels School of Governance. He is also an adjunct fellow with the Korea Chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and the author of several books on the domestic affairs and foreign policy of South and North Korea.

Téma smrti pro ni není jen filmovou rolí – v osobním životě přišla o oba rodiče i sestru a zkušenost s truchlením ji přivedla až k dobrovolnické práci v hospici. „Když jsem šla na kamerovky, věděla jsem, že ten film musím točit,“ řekla herečka Pavla Beretová v Prostoru KVIFF X na festivalu v Karlových Varech. Smrt podle ní není tabu, o kterém bychom měli mlčet. Pavla Beretová letos na jaře získala svého prvního Českého lva za hlavní roli ve filmu Rok vdovy, který otevřeně pojednává o ztrátě blízkého člověka.

To historia o zdradzie, krótkowzroczności elit, wielkiej geopolityce i narodzie, który utracił swoją państwowość nie od razu - lecz kawałek po kawałku. W XVIII wieku Polska nie upadła nagle. Nie było jednej decydującej bitwy, jednego momentu klęski. Był za to długi proces osłabienia, w którym decyzje – albo ich brak – podejmowano przez dekady. To opowieść o kraju, który gasł powoli, stając się najpierw pionkiem, a potem łupem w rękach sąsiadów. W prologu przypomnimy losy Polski – od czasów Słowian aż po Sejm Niemy z 1717 roku – by pokazać, jak długa i złożona była droga ku upadkowi. W pierwszej części skupimy się na kontekście międzynarodowym. Zobaczycie, jak Rosja, Prusy i Austria – początkowo bez planu rozbiorów – zaczęły postrzegać Polskę jako strefę wpływów, a następnie jako wspólny problem do rozwiązania. Prześledzimy ich strategie, ambicje i motywacje. Opowiemy o podwójnej elekcji z 1733 roku, kiedy jednocześnie wybrano dwóch królów - Leszczyńskiego i Augusta III - i o wojnie o sukcesję polską. Zajrzymy do konfederacji dzikowskiej i poznamy konsekwencje tych wydarzeń dla suwerenności państwa. Omówimy rządy Augusta III Sasa - króla nieobecnego, którego panowanie upłynęło pod znakiem zrywanych sejmów, paraliżu instytucji i dominacji magnaterii. Zrozumiecie mechanizmy działania liberum veto i dowiecie się, jak wyglądała rywalizacja stronnictw magnackich: Familii Czartoryskich i obozu Potockich. W kolejnej części przeniesiemy się do czasów ostatniego monarchy - Stanisława Augusta Poniatowskiego. Prześledzimy drogę, która wyniosła go na tron: od misji dyplomatycznej w Petersburgu, przez romans z Katarzyną II, po elekcję z 1764 roku - przeprowadzoną w atmosferze presji militarnej i politycznej ze strony Rosji. Opowiemy o reformach Poniatowskiego: Komisji Skarbowej, Szkole Rycerskiej, wsparciu dla oświecenia i kultury. Ale także o przeszkodach, które spotkał - rosyjskiej ingerencji, oporze konserwatywnej szlachty, presji ze strony mocarstw. Prześledzimy sejm repninowski, porwania senatorów, konfederację barską i wydarzenia prowadzące do I rozbioru w 1772 roku. Zobaczymy też ostatnie próby ratowania państwa: Sejm Czteroletni, uchwalenie Konstytucji 3 Maja, II rozbiór, Insurekcję Kościuszkowską i ostateczny - III rozbiór Polski w 1795 roku. I wreszcie - zadamy sobie pytanie, które wraca zawsze, gdy kończy się jakaś epoka: czy ten koniec naprawdę był nieunikniony? Dobrego słuchania!

Rok od trestných noviel je ľahšie kradnúť, a vidíme to aj v obchodoch. To je ale iba špička ľadovca – veľké kradnutie zatiaľ nevidíme, ale je tiež ľahšie, hovorí Jozef Čentéš, profesor trestného práva a bývalý kandidát na generálneho prokurátora. Podľa neho sme prepustili možno až tisíc väzňov, ďalší majú premlčané trestné stíhanie, a nikto nevie, čo teraz robia. Za akých okolností by sa mohol Dušan Kováčik vrátiť do výkonu trestu?V podcaste s Jozefom Čentéšom sa dozviete:– od 1. minúty – ako prežil ťažký covid deväť mesiacov v nemocnici;– po 3:00 – či sa zlodeji naozaj stali agresívnejšími pre novelu trestného zákona;– od 4:30 – že po novom je ľahšie kradnúť, a hoci my to vidíme v malom, ľahšie je to aj vo veľkom;– po 7:00 – že Slovensko prepustilo možno až tisíc väzňov a nikto nevie, čo teraz robia;– od 10:00 – že veľké kauzy sú len špička ľadovca;– po 11:00 – čo je naozaj najväčší problém noviel trestných zákonov;– od 12:40 – že toto nie je spravodlivosť;– po 17:00 – či nám Európska komisia má čo vyčítať;– od 21:00 – či budú stíhaní ľudia za haciendy z eurofondov;– po 30:00 – čo hovorí na snahu Mikuláša Černáka dostať sa na slobodu;– od 34:00 – či je prípad Slavomíra Surového najväčším justičným omylom mafie 90. rokov;– po 39:00 – či sa niečo zlepšilo aj pre obete trestných činov.

In this episode of The Korea Pro Podcast, Jeongmin Kim and Joon Ha delve into major political developments in South Korea, starting with defense minister nominee Ahn Gyu-baek's comments on completing the transfer of wartime operational control from the U.S. within five years. The remarks drew swift denial from the presidential office. The hosts then turn to the turbulent cabinet confirmation hearings. Unification minister nominee Chung Dong-yang was criticized for avoiding the term “main enemy” in reference to North Korea, while the gender minister nominee faced scrutiny over past staff treatment and a cautious approach to anti-discrimination and sexual consent laws. The education minister nominee was also questioned over plagiarism allegations related to student work. On the diplomatic front, the podcast explores the administration's announcement of special envoys to 14 countries, including a former Doosan chief named as the U.S. envoy after a previous pick raised concerns. The episode also looks ahead to key trilateral meetings, pending confirmations, Samsung Chairman Lee Jae-yong's legal developments and the upcoming rollout of supplementary cash vouchers.

„Motoristé nemají žádné velké pevné přesvědčené jádro voličů. Mají jádro, které je ochotné na Filipa Turka pracovat, hájit ho, ozývat se. Podobně jako třeba KDU-ČSL na Moravě. Ale nebude to stačit,“ myslí si sociolog Buchtík. Strana, která na víkend svolává krizový sněm, podle něj potřebuje nutně oslovit další skupiny voličů. Můžou ještě Motoristé poznamenaní kauzami Filipa Turka otočit negativní trend? Jak se tři měsíce před volbami daří dalším menším stranám? A dá se odhadnout, kolik hlasů letos propadne? Téma pro Marii Bastlovou a sociologa a šéfa výzkumné agentury STEM Martina Buchtíka v dalším díle speciálu Ptám se já – Rok voleb, ve kterém spolu pravidelně až do volebního víkendu glosují nejzásadnější témata a momenty letošního klání o křesla v Poslanecké sněmovně.Poslední volby do Sněmovny v roce 2021 se zapsaly do historie jako volby, ve kterých propadlo nejvíc hlasů. Volilo sice skoro 5,4 milionu lidí a volební účast překročila 65 procent. Přes milion Čechů se ale rozhodlo pro strany, kterým se nakonec nepodařilo překročit pětiprocentní limit pro vstup do dolní komory. Zhruba každý pátý hlas tak propadl. Voliči si to podle sociologa Martina Buchtíka velmi dobře uvědomují a o to víc rozvažují, zda stranám pohybujícím se kolem pěti procent dají svůj hlas. „Určitě je pravda, že to lidi zvažují. Vidíme to dlouhodobě u Zelených, kteří mají docela dobrou potenciální základnu potenciálních lidí, kteří by je zvažovali. Ale potom si řeknou: ‚Vlastně Zelení se tam nedostanou. Tak já je volit nebudu, byl by to hlas, který připadne třeba komunistům.‘“„A zároveň taky vidíme, že třeba v minulých sněmovních volbách nebo hlavně v prezidentských volbách, kdy pro ně byl Andrej Babiš hlavní oponent, lidé chtěli zvolit co nejsilnějšího protikandidáta. Což byla ve sněmovních volbách koalice Spolu a v prvním kole prezidentské volby Petr Pavel. Přiklonili se k tomu silnějšímu hráči, který měl v jejich očích větší pravděpodobnost porazit Andreje Babiše,“ říká sociolog a dodává:„Ten milion (propadnutých hlasů) se asi nezopakuje. To byla zcela výjimečná situace. Ale půl milionu by to být mohlo. Přeliv na poslední chvíli bude strašně důležitý. Budou také důležité finální debaty, kam se dostanou asi jenom ty největší politické strany.“Motoristům by pomohlo spojení s Přísahou Kolem pěti procent se tři měsíce před volbami pohybují Motoristé, kteří kvůli tomu na tento víkend svolali krizový sněm. Podle aktuálního modelu STEM by teď získali 3,5 procenta, před týdnem to byla čtyři procenta. Červnový model agentury Median připsal straně 5,5 procenta, od února do dubna se přitom v průzkumech Medianu pohybovali o několik procent výš.„Je to dané tím, že to není samostatná strana, ale je to do velké míry strana voličů Filipa Turka. A Filip Turek se v posledních měsících potýká, když to řekneme kulantně, s řadou reputačních problémů. A neřeší je úplně dobře,“ myslí si Buchtík. Znamená to, že by byl Turek už odepsaný? „To určitě neznamená, ale nemá tu pozici prostě jednoduchou. Motoristé nemají žádné velké pevné přesvědčené jádro. Mají jádro, které je ochotné na Filipa Turka pracovat, hájit ho, ozývat se, roznášet letáky. Podobně to má třeba KDU-ČSL, taky mají silnou základnu, která je zejména na Moravě ochotná straně věnovat svůj volný čas. Samozřejmě dost rozdílně než podporovatelé Filipa Turka. Ale nebude to stačit,“ poznamenává sociolog. Strana podle něj nemůže jen upevňovat své voličské jádro, ale nutně potřebuje oslovit další skupiny. V tom by jí mohlo pomoci spojení s Přísahou Róbera Šlachty, se kterou Motoristé loni kandidovali do evropských voleb a získali právě mandát pro Turka. Strany se ale rozešly ve zlém a Přísaha oznámila, že do Sněmovny půjde samostatně. Aktuálně se ovšem spekuluje, že by ještě přece jen mohlo dojít k opětovnému spojení těchto dvou subjektů. Čas mají do konce července, kdy se odevzdávají kandidátky. Stačilo! se může posunout od pětiprocentní hraniceHnutí Stačilo!, ve kterém figurují komunisté v čele s Kateřinou Konečnou, si chce překonání pětiprocentní hranice do Sněmovny pořádně pojistit. I díky spojení s dalšími subjekty zapsalo hnutí úspěch v loňských evropských volbám. Do těch parlamentních teď posílí o sociální demokraty, se kterými se po zprvu neúspěšných námluvách nakonec dohodlo tento týden. Průzkumy nyní hnutí Stačilo! připisují zhruba pět procent, sociální demokraté by se nepřehoupli ani nad tři procenta.„(Díky členům SOCDEM na kandidátkách) může Stačilo! získat třeba půl procenta nebo jeden procentní bod navíc. Což je důležité. A taky by je to aspoň vizuálně posunulo od té pětiprocentní hranice, na které teď dlouhodobě jsou. To je taky důležitý prvek. Už nebudou plýtvat energií na přesvědčování, že se tam dostanou, ale začnou komunikovat něco jiného. Zajímavé potom bude, jak se vzájemně budou kroužkovat ty dvě voličské skupiny,“ komentuje Buchtík a pokračuje:„Myslím, že se do Sněmovny spíš dostanou. Ale kromě spojení se sociálními demokraty bude rozhodovat to, jakou rétoriku zvolí SPD a také jestli Stačilo! udrží tu dvouhlavou saň, to znamená Kateřinu Konečnou a Daniela Sterzika, tak, aby mluvili zhruba stejně i těsně před volbami.“Rýsuje se už složení budoucí Sněmovny? A které známé tváře z menších stran by se mohly objevit v příští vládě? --V bonusovém projektu pořadu Ptám se já – Rok voleb moderátorka Marie Bastlová a sociolog Martin Buchtík glosují zásadní trendy a témata letošních sněmovních voleb.

This week, the Korea Pro team unpacks how South Korea is navigating a convergence of economic strain, corporate turbulence and diplomatic urgency. The episode begins with the Bank of Korea's decision to hold its base interest rate at 2.5%, even as Seoul's housing market accelerates and household debt surges. The team then dives into U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement of a 25% tariff on all South Korean imports beginning Aug. 1. A minor opposition lawmaker also alleged that the Yoon Suk-yeol administration illegally transferred military equipment to Ukraine under a lease agreement, sidestepping legal oversight. If substantiated, the case could constrain President Lee Jae-myung's ability to expand non-lethal aid or strengthen NATO ties. Next, the team turns to Samsung Electronics' steep Q2 earnings drop. With operating profit down, the team discusses what this means for South Korea's tech leadership and macroeconomic stability. The team covers plans for a three-way meeting among U.S., South Korean and Japanese senior diplomats on the sidelines of the upcoming ASEAN Regional Forum in Malaysia. If finalized, this would mark the first high-level trilateral meeting since Lee took office. Concurrently, ROK national security adviser Wi Sung-lac has proposed a “comprehensive package deal” that links tariffs, investment and security in one negotiation framework. Wi also suggested an early summit between Lee and Trump — a move aimed at de-escalating tensions and reinforcing South Korea's role as a strategic partner. In the week ahead, the team looks to the next round of confirmation hearings for Lee's Cabinet nominees and South Korea's upcoming Constitution Day, as the new administration continues to shape its policy direction amid rising domestic and international challenges.

On June 13th, Israel launched attacks on several military and nuclear facilities in Iran, marking the beginning of a 12-day war between the two countries. The United States followed with targeted strikes on Iranian nuclear sites to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear power and posing a threat to regional and global stability. China's involvement in the conflict was limited to condemning the Israeli and US use of military force and calling for de-escalation. Beijing offered only rhetorical support for Tehran. To discuss what the Israel-Iran war reveals about China's relationship with Iran, its evolving strategy in the Middle East, and the broader implications for US-China competition, we are joined by Yun Sun on the podcast today. Yun is a Senior Fellow, co-Director of the East Asia Program and Director of the China Program at the Stimson Center. Her recent piece in The Wire China entitled “How China Sees Iran's Future” offers provides a nuanced take on Beijing's calculus during and after the war.

In this week's episode, the Korea Pro team breaks down Beijing's formal invitation for President Lee Jae-myung to attend China's Sept. 3 Victory Day military parade — a move that echoes Park Geun-hye's 2015 attendance but lands in a far more polarized geopolitical climate. The team discusses how Lee is likely to approach the decision and what's at stake for Seoul's positioning between Washington and Beijing. The team also reflects on Lee's first presidential press conference — from its tone and theatrical “lucky draw” format to the substance of his responses on foreign policy, corporate reform and the anti-discrimination law. The episode then shifts to South Korea's record-breaking arms deal with Poland. The July 2 agreement will send 180 K2 Black Panther tanks abroad in a deal reportedly worth over $6 billion — nearly double the 2022 package. Unlike the first shipment, this deal includes extensive tech transfer and local assembly, cementing South Korea's role in Poland's rearmament push. Looking ahead, the trio preview next week's trilateral defense chiefs' meeting in Seoul, ongoing trade talks in Washington and deepening special probes targeting former President Yoon Suk-yeol's inner circle, including a travel ban on the former first lady. About the podcast: The Korea Pro Podcast is a weekly 15-minute conversation hosted by Korea Risk Group Executive Director Jeongmin Kim, Editor John Lee and correspondent Joon Ha Park, 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.

In this week's episode, the Korea Pro team explores President Lee Jae-myung's decision to skip the NATO summit in the Hague, citing domestic concerns and the escalating Israel-Iran conflict. His absence prompted Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba to also bow out, signaling an unusual moment of deference from Tokyo and a potential opportunity to formalize improving bilateral ties. The team also reviews Lee's growing Cabinet, with key appointments to the foreign affairs, unification and defense portfolios now in place — though eight major ministries, including finance and justice, remain without confirmed leadership. Finally, the team examines the KOSPI's rise above 3,100 and explains why it doesn't reflect the broader state of South Korea's economy. Looking ahead, the team discusses mounting legal trouble for former President Yoon Suk-yeol, as a special counsel seeks to bar him from travel and pursue a detention warrant over his aborted martial law plan.

In this episode, Norwegian artist and director Morten Traavik and cultural mediator Sun Kim discuss their new documentary “North South Man Woman.” The film explores the emotional complexities of North Korean defectors trying to build lives — and relationships — in South Korea, with a special focus on matchmaking between DPRK women and ROK men. Traavik and Kim reflect on the documentary's five-year production process, the personal journeys of their protagonists and how issues of cultural identity, trauma, gender roles and social integration shape life after defection. They also unpack how the film balances moments of lightness and pain, and how storytelling can illuminate the human costs of geopolitical division. Norwegian artist and director Morten Traavik has undertaken several provocative and boundary-pushing art and film projects involving North Korea. His work often explores themes of cultural exchange, propaganda and the role of art in politically charged environments. He previously appeared on epsiode 103 of the podcast. His collaborator Sun Kim is a Korean American and Belgian producer and cultural mediator for a number of Morten's exchanges with North Korean authorities for over a decade.

In this special episode of The Korea Pro Podcast, Jeongmin and John speak with Darcie Draudt-Vejares of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace about President Lee Jae-myung's shift to the center and what it means for alliance management under the Trump administration. The discussion covers growing resentment in Seoul over U.S. trade demands, the perception that Washington prioritizes deals over diplomacy and the likelihood that South Korea will face pressure to cut Chinese components from its supply chains. Draudt-Vejares also reflects on how Washington may interpret Seoul's efforts to diversify its strategic partnerships.

In this episode, Dr. Victor Cha, Mr. Jake Kwon, and Mr. Wonchul Kim discussed recent political developments under President Lee's administration, outcomes of the G7 Summit, and the future direction of U.S.–ROK and U.S.–ROK–Japan relations.
In this week's episode, the Korea Pro team reviews President Lee Jae-myung's appearance at the G7 summit, including his meetings with Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Notably absent was a sit-down with U.S. President Donald Trump, who left early amid the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran. The war's impact on global energy prices is already being felt in South Korea, raising concerns about inflation just as Lee faces mounting pressure to revive a slowing economy. The team also examines the U.S. Federal Reserve's rate freeze and what it means for the Bank of Korea's already limited policy space. The trio also discusses the parliamentary hearing for National Intelligence Service nominee Lee Jong-seok, where his past comments on North Korea drew scrutiny. Looking ahead, the team previews next week's NATO summit in The Hague, the parliamentary hearing for Prime Minister nominee Kim Min-seok and South Korea's upcoming commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the Korean War.

PREVIEW: Colleague Ambassador M. Tan reports on the flagrant fraud observed at the recent ROK presidential election. More. 1945 SEOUL ROK
In this episode, Dr. Victor Cha, Dr. Pacheco Pardo, and Mr. Sydney Seiler discussed South Korea's new president, the foreign policy challenges facing the incoming administration, and the implications of the election for U.S.–ROK relations and the broader Indo-Pacific region.
North Korea's new warship remains submerged on its side more than 10 days after the embarrassing failure to side-launch the vessel last month, despite DPRK experts' confidence that they could right the ship. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made only a passing mention of North Korea at the Shangri-La Dialogue over the weekend, even as officials talked behind the scenes about wanting U.S. Forces Korea to play a bigger role in countering China. And Lee Jae-myung appears poised to claim the South Korean presidency in Tuesday's snap election, setting up potential changes in inter-Korean policy. This week, NK News CEO Chad O'Caroll and Lead Correspondent Shreyas Reddy join the podcast to discuss all these events during a busy week on the peninsula, as the ROK prepares to finally fill a monthslong leadership vacuum since Yoon Suk-yeol's ill-fated declaration of martial law and subsequent impeachment. They also talk about why North Korea will likely do little in response to a new president in Seoul and explore why Kim Jong Un should worry about Ukrainian drones following Kyiv's stunning attack on Russian assets far from the front lines.
