Dr. Victor Cha, Dr. Jeonghun Min, and Dr. Hanbeom Jeong discussed President Lee's first 100 days in office, the implications of his foreign policies for extended deterrence, U.S.–ROK and U.S.–North Korea engagement, and more.

Pro naše severní a zároveň jižní sousedy byl rok 1990 snad ještě důležitější než pro Čechy a Slováky. Rok zázraků, jak to pojmenoval britský novinář Timothy Garton Ash, přinesl naprosto novou realitu takzvaným západním i takzvaným východním Němcům.

Ačkoli se většině sportovcům i jejich národním organizacím jevila věc jasně, dnes už bývalý předseda MOV Thomas Bach se viditelně snažil, aby na loňské pařížské olympiádě mohly plnoprávně startovat reprezentace Ruska a Běloruska. Rok před tím například sekundoval na asijských hrách v Kuang-čou čínskému prezidentovi Si Ťin-pchingovi při jeho chvále MOV, který prý „hraje jedinečnou roli při ochraně světového míru a dodržuje zásadu nepolitizace sportu“.

Ľudia menia televízor každé štyri roky, o novej práčke chcú vedieť všetko a očakávajú okamžitú reakciu na reklamáciu. Nákup elektroniky sa zmenil na komplexnú službu, kde produkt je len začiatok. Fúzia lídrov slovenského elektrosegmentu – spoločností NAY a Datart – priniesla zásadné zmeny na trhu. Rok po spojení hodnotí obchodný riaditeľ NAY Vladimír Sušil prvé výsledky: jednotný e-shop, rýchlejšie služby, širší sortiment aj synergie naprieč oboma krajinami. Zákazníci chcú dnes viac než len výhodnú cenu – očakávajú aj poradenstvo, expresné doručenie a ľudský prístup. „Na Slovensku sme už plne prešli na rovnaké webové rozhranie ako v Česku. Využívame synergie v oblasti logistiky, nákupu aj personálnych procesov,“ vysvetľuje V. Sušil a dodáva, že samotná fúzia bola schválená až po dôkladnej analýze protimonopolnými úradmi. V niektorých mestách dokonca museli kvôli vysokému podielu na trhu predajne odpredať konkurencii. Zmeny sa podľa V. Sušila najviac dotkli zákazníkov. Po novom majú k dispozícii nový e-shop, lepšiu logistiku a predovšetkým širšiu ponuku tovaru, ktorá reflektuje aktuálne trendy. Viac podrobností sa dozviete v podcaste.

Simon and Dan return with the second half of their deep dive into 50 Ways to Invest in the AI Revolution. While Part 1 covered the obvious giants—semiconductors, hyperscalers, pure-play AI software, enterprise apps, and data center REITs—this episode looks at some of the less obvious but equally important beneficiaries of AI. From utilities and grid infrastructure to commodities like uranium, copper, and natural gas, they explore the backbone powering AI’s massive energy demand. They also dig into healthcare, cybersecurity, IT consulting, and industrial automation—sectors where AI is already improving efficiency, margins, and innovation in ways most investors overlook. Once again, they highlight dozens of companies and ETFs across these subsectors, balancing both the opportunities and the risks. If you’re wondering how to get diversified AI exposure beyond the usual suspects like NVDA and MSFT, this episode is packed with fresh angles and ticker ideas.

Before the Conference League anthem came on in Celje Slovenia, one warm August night this year, today's guest had a lot of work behind him already while I was was on my way via train, uber and rental car from Bosnia. He is Rok Gregoric, press and pr wizard of NK Celje, a Slovenian club that was long a middling in the league of an already small country but has made it to the group phase of the conference league last year and again this year. A remarkable feat for a really pretty quiet city between the two main Slovenian cities Ljubljana and Maribor. Find out why. But also: what goes on in a smaller club when a UEFA competition comes to town? How do they coordinate with the visitors? What security arrangements have to be made? Where does all the UEFA signage come from? Which media gets which access? Rok takes us behind the scenes of his work, and shares about the club and the city - and a remarkable coach. HELPFUL LINKS FOR THIS EPISODE:NK Celje, websiteCelje, with city history, WikipediaNEW: send me a text message!

Ob Slomškovi nedelji, smo se spomnili tudi lazaristov, ki obhajajo veliki jubilej. Spregovorili smo o tem, kako pomembna je njihova duhovnost, karizma, poslanstvo in kako delujejo v Sloveniji. Naš gost je bil lazarist Rok Žlender, ki je tudi ravnatelj Študentskega doma Vincencij v Ljubljani.

Do voleb do Poslanecké sněmovny zbývá týden. Co mohou být rozhodující momenty ve finále kampaně? - Doteď jsme neviděli střet Petra Fialy a Andreje Babiše, může to mít zásadní vliv, myslí si sociolog Martin Buchtík.Co dalšího by ještě na poslední chvíli mohlo významně ovlivnit volby? Dostanou se do Sněmovny strany balancující na hraně volitelnosti? A proč je letos tolik lidí stále nerozhodnutých?Témata pro Marii Bastlovou a sociologa a šéfa výzkumné agentury STEM Martina Buchtíka v závěrečném díle speciálu Ptám se já – Rok voleb.I před letošními parlamentními volbami mají voliči možnost sledovat velké množství debat a duelů kandidátů, ať už na televizních obrazovkách, v rozhlase nebo v online médiích. Dosud se ale nedočkali střetu dvou hlavních rivalů o post příštího premiéra, lídra Spolu Petra Fialy a šéfa ANO Andreje Babiše. Jejich duel by se měl odehrát ve středu na Prima CNN News a poté ve čtvrtek na Nově. Pozvání do debaty na ČT Babiš nepřijal.„Právě finální debaty, zejména Fialy a Babiše, můžou mít zásadní vliv na rozhodování některých voličů. Pak to také může být případná nenadálá eskalace konfliktu Ruska a Ukrajiny, další dron nad Polskem, stíhačka nad Estonskem. Nebo výslechy svědků v kauze Dozimetr. To můžou být poměrně významné faktory,“ vyjmenovává sociolog Martin Buchtík a pokračuje:  „Významné může být i jednoznačně připravené finále kampaní. Protože jestli žádné finále nepřijde, tak to bude z mého pohledu velké zklamání. Protože všichni slibují, že už opravdu začnou a zatím to zase tak vidět není.“ Plujeme na severo, severo, severozápadV průzkumech dlouhodobě vede s velkým náskokem opoziční hnutí ANO před koalicí Spolu. Doteď se zdálo, že dominanci hnutí expremiéra Andreje Babiše nic neohrožuje. Poslední průzkum agentury STEM zveřejněný ve čtvrtek ale ukázal, že podpora hnutí nečekaně klesla o téměř tři procentní body na 28 procent. Jedná se o nejhorší výsledek ANO od ledna, kdy STEM s průzkumy začal. Druhá koalice Spolu by měla 21 procent. Třetí by se do Sněmovny dostalo SPD, čtvrté STAN a pátí Piráti. Potřebnou pětiprocentní hranici by těsně překonali i Motoristé a Stačilo!.Značí náhlý propad ANO nějakou významější změnu nálad voličů? „Kdybych to řekl námořnickou terminologií, tak kdybychom pluli doteď na sever, tak teď plujeme na severo, severo, severo, severo, severozápad. Jinými slovy, to posunutí je velmi malé, o žádnou zásadní otočku nejde,“ upozorňuje sociolog. Část voličů ANO se podle něj odklonila zejména k hnutí SPD. „Do volební kampaně teď vstoupily silněji menší strany, které nemůžou dělat permanentní kampaň, protože to buď neumí, nebo nemají peníze na kampaň. A tím pádem hnutí ANO teď není zase tak dominantně všude vidět, protože to přehlušují i další kampaně. Další faktor mohou být televizní diskuze, kde ANO trochu zaniká.“„Teď je to jejich nejslabší výsledek. Ale je dost možné, že k nedělnímu modelu, který se bude zveřejňovat ještě před moratoriem jako poslední veřejný průzkum, se to číslo bude nějakým způsobem korigovat,“ říká Buchtík s tím, že se dá stále předpokládat, že Andrej Babiš ve volbách opět získá více než 27 procent hlasů podobně jako naposledy. --V bonusovém projektu pořadu Ptám se já – Rok voleb moderátorka Marie Bastlová a sociolog Martin Buchtík glosují zásadní trendy a témata letošních sněmovních voleb.  Sledujte na Seznam Zprávách, poslouchejte na Podcasty.cz a ve všech podcastových aplikacích.Archiv všech dílů najdete tady.

In this episode of The Korea Pro Podcast, Jeongmin, John and Joon Ha break down a consequential week for South Korea's diplomacy and markets. They start with President Lee Jae-myung's high-profile trip to the United Nations, where he unveiled his END (Exchange, Normalization, Denuclearization) peace plan, presided over a Security Council debate on AI and held talks with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Polish President Karol Nawrocki and U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. The team then examines Foreign Minister Cho Hyun's trilateral meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Japanese Foreign Minister Iwaya Takeshi, and Lee's own sharp remarks about “submissive attitudes” toward the U.S. alliance. Finally, they turn to the domestic economy: the IMF's downbeat growth forecast and the government's proposed crackdown on opaque share buybacks, which signal a broader effort to tighten corporate governance and reassure foreign investors. 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.

Chris Smith gives some stock picks, including Rockwell Automation (ROK) and Williams (WMB). Chris thinks that manufacturing reshoring will “accelerate” names like ROK, noting the huge disparity in their revenue from abroad vs their North American revenue: “they earn effectively 20-30 times more” in North America than in Asia. On Williams, he expects a power shortage coming as more data centers drag on our already old and strained energy grid. He calls Williams the “premier” name in natural gas energy infrastructure. For similar reasons, he likes Vistra (VST).======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

In this episode of The Korea Pro Podcast, Jeongmin, John and Joon Ha unpack a fast-moving week for South Korea's economy and diplomacy. They begin with the U.S. Federal Reserve's quarter-point rate cut — the first since Dec. 2024 — and analyze how the move could influence the Bank of Korea's next steps, capital flows and the won. The team then dissects the Trump administration's warning that South Korea will face higher tariffs unless it accepts the same trade terms as Japan, noting Seoul officials' unusually blunt remarks that the U.S. is no longer the free-trade partner it once was. They also explore Mexico's plan to impose 50% tariffs on vehicles from countries without a free-trade agreement, a policy that could squeeze South Korean automakers and limit Seoul's trade flexibility. Next, Jeongmin and Joon Ha turn to President Lee Jae-myung's newly announced 123 key policy tasks, outlining the administration's broad domestic and economic agenda. In particular, they look at Seoul's security and foreign policy agenda, including the administration's ambition to complete OPCON transfer and reorganize the Marine Corps into a fourth quasi branch of the ROK Armed Forces.They discuss how these priorities are likely to shape both near-term governance and South Korea's longer-term growth strategy. Finally, the hosts look ahead to upcoming developments on Lee's expected keynote address at the United Nations on Sept. 23and other key events shaping the weeks ahead.

Rok 2027 bude ideální rok na reformy, které Česko potřebuje jako sůl, aby se obstálo ve světě umělé inteligence, mezinárodních rizik a stárnoucí populace. Až za dva roky se totiž nekonají žádné volby. Za rok se půjde volit do obecních zastupitelstev a třetiny Senátu, v roce 2028 jsou volby dokonce troje – prezidentské, krajské a senátní, pak už zase do Sněmovny. A politici se shodnou, že děsit voliče velkými změnami těsně před hlasováním nevede k úspěchu.

"Podnosimy się z kolan. To musi być proces powolny" - mówił w Porannej rozmowie w RMF FM Tomasz Nowicki, burmistrz Lądka-Zdroju. Rok temu miasto zostało mocno zniszczone przez powódź. "Do podnoszenia z kolan trzeba podchodzić metodycznie. Musimy założyć plan działania i go pomału, skutecznie realizować. Osoby, które za szybko przystąpiły do renowacji nieruchomości, muszą ją powtarzać" - zwracał uwagę.

Artur Pawłowski i Anna Folta z koalicji mieszkańców „Prosimy ciszej” opisują życie w centrum Warszawy, gdzie nocna sprzedaż alkoholu oznacza hałas, śmieci i mniejsze poczucie bezpieczeństwa.1 września koalicja „Prosimy ciszej” opublikowała petycję, w której wnoszą o wprowadzenie ograniczenia sprzedaży alkoholu w godz. 22:00-06:00.Zdecydowaliśmy się na to ze względu na problemy, z którymi mierzymy się na co dzień, czyli zalewem okolicy przez alkohol i wszedobylskie ogródki gastronomiczne z alkoholem. To niebezpieczne zjawisko dla mieszkańców.~ mówi Artur Pawłowski, mieszkaniec ulicy Chmielnej. Zwraca też uwagę na to, że w skutek nocnych imprez, Śródmieście staje się miejscem nieprzyjaznym dla mieszkańców. Anna Folta zauważa, że problem wszechobecnego alkoholu sprawia realne zagrożenia:Straż Miejska i Policja nie dają rady obsługiwać wszystkich zgłoszeń. Ograniczenie sprzedaży od 22.00 zmniejszyłoby liczbę interwencji i poprawiło bezpieczeństwo.Spór w Radzie MiastaW najbliższy czwartek 18 września o godzinie 10:00 odbędzie się posiedzenie Rady Miasta Warszawy, gdzie ponownie rozpatrzony będzie projekt ustawy o wprowadzeniu omawianych ograniczeń. Wcześniejsze próby skończyły się fiaskiem. Jak mówi mieszkaniec Śródmieścia, zaproponowano inne rozwiązanie:Rok temu odbyły się konsultacje, gdzie mieszkańcy wypowiedzieli się w tym temacie i w przeważającej większości byli za wprowadzeniem ograniczenia od godziny 22.00 do godziny 6.00. W efekcie tych konsultacji pojawił się projekt Pana Prezydenta Rafała Trzaskowskiego, który zakładał ograniczenie sprzedaży alkoholu, ale od godziny 23 do godziny 6 rano, nie od godziny 22:00 Także w tej chwili nad tymi dwoma projektami będą decydowali radni w najbliższy czwartek.Do opisanej wyżej sytuacji odnosi się także Anna Folta, które reprezentuje również organizację „Miasto jest nasze” i jest Radną Dzielnicy Śródmieście. Uczestniczyła w poprzednim posiedzeniu, gdzie reprezentowała interesy mieszkańców:Ku rozczarowaniu mieszkańców nasza propozycja została odrzucona. Liczyli oni, że radni Koalicji Obywatelskiej poprą rozwiązanie zakładające zakaz sprzedaży od godziny 22, która w naszym kręgu kulturowym uchodzi za czas przeznaczony na ciszę i odpoczynek, zwłaszcza w dni powszednie. Niestety, radni opowiedzieli się za projektem prezydenckim, przewidującym ograniczenie dopiero od godziny 23.Zapytany o powody odrzucenia uchwały, Artur Pawłowski odpowiada:Nie znamy powodów odrzucenia projektu, nikt nie przekazał nam takich informacji. Pojawiały się jedynie dziwne argumenty ze strony radnych z innych dzielnic, których trudno było nam przyjąć. Tymczasem podstawowym problemem pozostaje bezpieczeństwo w centrum stolicy. Wprowadzenie ograniczeń mogłoby także utrudnić dostęp do alkoholu osobom nadużywającym go. Najważniejsze jednak jest to, że mamy potwierdzone dane i setki, jeśli nie tysiące zgłoszeń mieszkańców do policji. Obecnie w tej części miasta po prostu jest niebezpiecznie.Prowadzący audycji Cała naprzód zauważają, że ograniczenie sprzedaży alkoholu zostało już wprowadzone w innych miastach, co przyniosło pozytywne skutki:O 30% zmniejszyła się liczba pacjentów w szpitalach nocą~ mówi Konrad Mędrzecki.Czekając na decyzjęArtur Pawłowski zachęca do odwiedzenia strony prosimyciszej.pl i wsparcia inicjatywy mieszkańców:My jako mieszkańcy nie czekamy biernie. Informujemy o naszym problemie i zbieramy głosy poparcia/ab

In this episode of The Korea Pro Podcast, Jeongmin, John and Joon Ha examine a turbulent stretch for U.S.-ROK relations and President Lee Jae-myung 100-day-old administration. They start with the dramatic ICE raid on Hyundai Motor Group and LG Energy Solution's battery-plant project in Georgia, where more than 300 South Korean engineers were detained before a chartered flight carried them home. The team traces the raid's origins, the swift diplomatic response from Seoul and the broader questions it raises about U.S. visa policy and the investment climate for Korean firms. Next, they break down Lee Jae-myung's 100-day press conference, highlighting his criticism of the U.S. raid, his call for national unity and his policy priorities on economic recovery and renewable energy. The hosts assess how Lee's direct style and focus on communication are shaping perceptions at home and abroad. Finally, they look ahead to Freedom Edge trilateral military drills between the U.S., South Korea and Japan, and to the intensifying race within Japan's Liberal Democratic Party to replace Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba.

In this episode of The Korea Pro Podcast, John and Lina examine a turbulent week for South Korea's trade, defense and domestic agenda. They discuss how a U.S. appeals court ruling against Donald Trump's reciprocal tariffs threatens to upend Washington's negotiations with trade partners, including Seoul. They also weigh South Korea's official decision to join the CPTPP, considering the domestic backlash it faces from farmers and the politically sensitive issue of lifting Japanese seafood restrictions. The hosts then turn to defense and foreign policy, noting President Lee Jae-myung's absence from China's military parade while National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-shik shook hands with Kim Jong Un, and previewing Lee's upcoming UNGA speech that will highlight AI and global security rather than North Korea. Finally, they look ahead to Lee's first 100-day press conference under the banner of “recovery and growth for the future.” 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.

Musel jsem ocenit, že Petr Fiala jde i do nepřátelského prostředí, do nějaké konfrontace. Andrej Babiš je spíše chráněný od střetu s lidmi, kteří s ním nesouhlasí. Nejde někam, kde by na něj lidi vyjeli, říká exministr Tomáš Petříček k vrcholící kampani před sněmovními volbami. Kteří politici si kontaktní kampaň užívají nejvíc? Jak sofistikovaně se předvolební kampaně chystají? A jaká témata zatím do letošního boje o voliče promlouvají nejvíc?   Téma pro Marii Bastlovou, sociologa a šéfa výzkumné agentury STEM Martina Buchtíka a jejich hosta, bývalého ministra zahraničí v druhé vládě Andreje Babiše a bývalého člena SOCDEM Tomáše Petříčka v dalším díle speciálu Ptám se já – Rok voleb.Strany spustily ostrou fázi kampaně před říjnovými volbami do Poslanecké sněmovny a podle Tomáše Petříčka je výrazně jiná než dřív.„Kontaktní kampaň běží dál, ale strany dnes řeší mnohem intenzivněji komunikaci na sociálních sítích, protože tam se dělá ten rozdíl, tam se dá mobilizovat. Tam oslovují voliče, které na ulici nepotkají. I na mítink etablovaných stran přijdou většinou lidé, kteří jsou rozhodnutí, sympatizanti nebo odpůrci,“ řekl bývalý vrcholný politik. Sám měl podle svých slov setkávání s voliči a celkový zápřah v předvolební kampaní rád, dnes mu ale nic z toho nechybí. Se sociologem Martinem Buchtíkem se Tomáš Petříček shodl, že letošní kontaktní kampaň si zjevně nejvíce užívá šéf opozičního hnutí ANO Andrej Babiš. Vyzdvihl ale zejména práci lídra vládní koalice Spolu Petra Fialy.„Musel jsem ocenit, že Petr Fiala je připravený jít i do nepřátelského prostředí, do nějaké konfrontace. Často mi přijde, že Andrej Babiš je trochu chráněný od střetu s lidmi, kteří s ním nesouhlasí. Že má rád, když je obklopen lidmi, kteří oceňují to, co dělá, kteří mu vyjadřují sympatie. A nejde úplně do prostředí, kde by na něj lidi hned vyjeli,“ řekl Petříček. Světlý moment, ke kterému se koalice Spolu ráda vracíPodle sociologa Buchtíka v letošní kampani koalice Spolu (složené z ODS, TOP 09 a KDU-ČSL) výrazně více zaznívají hesla typu „nechceme žít v zemi, která se ubírá na Východ“ a ohrožení Česka se zároveň více spojuje s Andrejem Babišem a jeho návratem k moci. „Vysvětluji si to tím, že ODS, tato vláda postavila zahraniční politiku jako svoji vlajkovou loď, zejména od ruské invaze na Ukrajinu. Na podpoře Ukrajiny, bezpečnosti chtěla mobilizovat svoje podporovatele a pokračuje v tom. Takže to je setrvačnost, využití momentu, kdy po problémech v počátku vládnutí najednou přišla chvíle, kdy se Petr Fiala stal státníkem, začal proaktivně řešit evropskou reakci na ruskou agresi. To byl nějaký světlý moment, takže k tomu se rádi vrací,“ řekl exministr Petříček a dodal:„Druhá věc, bohužel smutnější, je, že je to možná programová politická vyprázdněnost v jiných oblastech.“Dělení politických sil na prozápadní a provýchodní zároveň Petříček označil za nebezpečné. „Tady byla poměrně velká shoda, už v devadesátých letech, že patříme na Západ, že jsme tam vždy patřili a patříme politicky i kulturně.“„Nejsem žádný velký sympatizant Andreje Babiše, ale říkat, že Andrej Babiš nás zatáhne do Ruska? To nikdy nedělal. Vždy akcentoval, že jsme v Evropské unii, máme být v NATO. To, že se mi nemuselo líbit něco, co dělal ve vztahu k Viktorovi Orbánovi, to, že má tendence k autoritářskému pohledu na svět, to je pravda. Ale nikdy to nebyl někdo, kdo by nás chtěl prodávat Rusákům.“ „To, že ho ale teď stále tlačíme do toho, že on takový je, mu možná nejen pomáhá u části elektorátu. Ale část elektorátu se s tím potom ztotožňuje a ze zahraničněpolitické orientace země se dělá předmět volby. To do jisté míry vytváří nebezpečí, že část společnosti si najednou řekne: No, tak jo, tak asi patříme radši na východ,“ varoval bývalý ministr zahraničí. Je česká společnost skutečně tak rozdělená, jak by se mohlo zdát? Čeká nás do voleb v kampani ještě nějaké překvapení?

In this episode of The Korea Pro Podcast, Jeongmin, John and Joon Ha break down the first summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and South Korean President Lee Jae-myung. They analyze how a last-minute social media post from Trump nearly derailed the talks, why Lee relied on flattery to keep the meeting cordial and how the U.S. president's land-ownership remark highlighted the volatility now embedded in the alliance. The hosts also examine South Korea's record $150 billion in new investment pledges, including landmark deals in aviation, energy, shipbuilding and critical minerals. They discuss how these commitments secure tariff relief but deepen Seoul's exposure to Trump's transactional trade framework. Finally, they consider how partisan disinformation networks in both countries are shaping alliance management, and what the summit reveals about the risks of diplomacy under an unpredictable U.S. president. 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 episode of The Korea Pro Podcast, John and Joon Ha dissect revelations about the hidden clause in Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power (KHNP) and Korea Electric Power Corporation's (KEPCO) settlement with Westinghouse Electric, which critics argue binds South Korea's nuclear exports under U.S. control for the next half-century. They examine the political fallout in Seoul and why President Lee Jae-myung is unlikely to raise the matter in his upcoming talks with U.S. President Donald Trump. The hosts also preview Lee's Aug. 23 summit with Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, noting the rare symmetry between their recent Aug. 15 speeches, which balanced historical acknowledgment with forward-looking cooperation. Finally, they turn to Lee's Aug. 25 summit with Trump, weighing the risks of an unpredictable U.S. president revisiting tariffs and trade concessions, and recap the week ahead, including the People Power Party leadership race and the Seoul Circuit event on ROK-Japan relations.

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.

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.

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.  Timestamps[00:00] Start[01:44] “[P]ragmatic diplomacy centered on national interests”[05:06] State of Play for Sino-South Korean Relations[09:56] Balancing Between the United States and China[14:47] China Taking Advantage of US-ROK Frictions [19:03] Economic Interdependence as a Leverage[25:39] Xi Jinping Attending APEC South Korea 2025[31:11] American Pressure on Allies to Protect Taiwan

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!

This week, Jason is joined by two fan favorites and cast insiders, Jesse Palmer and Wells Adams! Jesse is a former NFL quarterback and Bachelor alum turned sports commentator, TV host and personality, and of course, the host of The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, all the Goldens and Bachelor in Paradise. Jesse is joined by Wells Adams, a friend of the show, former Bachelorette contestant, podcast host, TV host, and, of course, the witty bartender of Paradise, always shaking things up.  Jesse and Wells dive into what fans can expect from the future of the Bachelor franchise, including the changes coming to the new season of Bachelor in Paradise. They discuss how their roles have evolved this season, what brings them the most joy in Bachelor Nation, and how Jesse balances commentating on football with hosting reality shows. They open up about saying “yes” to new opportunities, share what really goes into being a host, and reveal the advice they gave contestants about mixing franchises in Paradise. Plus, they talk about which contestants surprised them the most, give an unfiltered look behind the scenes of filming Bachelor in Paradise, and much more.
