This week, NK News CEO Chad O'Carroll and Chris Green of International Crisis Group join the podcast to discuss a Seoul court's decision to sentence former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol to 30 years in prison, finding that he orchestrated a drone operation that sought to provoke a North Korean response and create a pretext for declaring martial law. The episode also explores Chinese President Xi Jinping's recent visit to Pyongyang, the absence of denuclearization from official summit readouts, China's increasingly pragmatic approach to North Korea's nuclear status and the prospects for expanded trade, tourism and people-to-people exchanges.  Finally, Chad and Chris preview the upcoming West Coast Exchange, a three-day gathering of Korea watchers, diplomats, journalists, academics and policymakers. They discuss the event's emphasis on informal networking and field visits, the value of off-the-record conversations and why participants often gain as much from discussions outside the conference room as they do from the formal sessions. About the podcast: The NK News Podcast is a weekly podcast hosted by Alannah Hill exclusively for NK News, covering the latest developments in and around North Korea. Each episode breaks down the week's news cycle with NK News journalists, analysts and expert guests.

Doggziller and Jellphonic popped thru the show this ep! We were still buzzing from Friday's Circling Sun show at the Pitt St Methodist Churc, so we had to kick off with their "Bliss Part 2" before spinning a couple for the birthday girl Linda Clifford dropping a couple from her late-70s RSO Records disco nuggets "Don't Give It Up" and "Runaway Love". From there things got properly funky: Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band's steel-pan reading of Mtume's "Juicy Fruit" (the B-side 45 on Big Crown, 2022), Bobby Oroza doing his Finnish-Texan soul thing on "I Got Love," and the Terea deep cut "Pretty Bird." The boogie continuum kept things moving through The Deele, O'Bryan, and a touch of Tatsuro Yamashita's 1977 City Pop gem "Paper Doll," before Evelyn Champagne King's "Shake Down," Dynasty's "Check It Out," and The Time's "Get It Up" pushed the tempo right up. The second half ranged wide without losing the thread. Leenalchi's "Here Comes That Crow" - the Seoul seven-piece's just-dropped Luaka Bop debut, a chopped pansori tale rerouted through bass-heavy psych-funk - sat comfortably alongside Daktaris' raw Afrobeat ("Eltsuhg Ibal Lasiti" from their Soul Explosion LP from the Daptone studio) and a run of West African gold: Zeal Onyia's Nigerian highlife, Ebo Taylor & Pat Thomas' "Yes Indeed" (originally recorded in Togo for the 1981 Abotar LP Super Sounds Namba), and Julian Y Su Combo's Afro-Cuban "Enyere Kumbara." Sharon Jones's "What If We All Stopped Paying Taxes," Trio Mocotó's samba-funk "Chamego De Ine," and (birthday boy) Marcus Miller's "I Could Give You More". Heatwave's "Too Hot To Handle" clocked 50 years this month, so you know we had to give "Ain't No Half Steppin" some airtime. Press the button.

Comment on this episode by going to KDramaChat.com Today, we'll be discussing Episode 9 of Our Unwritten Seoul, the hit K Drama on Netflix starring Park Bo Young as Yoo Mi Ji and Yoo Mi Rae, and Jin Young as Lee Ho Su. We'll also talk about Lee Jae In and Park Yoon Ho, the actors who play the younger versions of our leads. We discuss: The songs featured during the recap: The Song of Ho Su by Kim Kyung Hee, Identical Head to Toe by Park Sang Hee, and What You Mean To Me by Nam Hye Seung and Park Sang Hee. How Mi Rae returns to Seoul and finds herself forced to confront the corruption, bullying, and harassment she tried to leave behind. Why Mi Rae and Su Yeon both carry misplaced guilt and shame, even though they were victims rather than perpetrators. The devastating impact of workplace bullying and how it can leave victims blaming themselves for the actions of others. The full story behind Park Sang Yeong's harassment of Mi Rae and the company's deeply flawed investigation that focused on questioning the victim rather than the accused. Kim Tae I's efforts to expose corruption surrounding Sihan Construction and the enormous headquarters contract. How Mi Rae slowly finds her courage after seeing the lasting damage done to Su Yeon and realizing the injustice of the situation. Kim Rosa's growing trust in Mi Ji, followed by a painful sense of betrayal when Lee Chung Gu learns about her son. The sweet but awkward evolution of Mi Ji and Ho Su's relationship, including their honest conversation about insecurities and their first real kiss. Ho Su's law firm interview and the profound question he is asked: if he doesn't stand for justice or the vulnerable, what does he represent? The growing theme of identity, purpose, and values as Ho Su struggles to define the kind of lawyer—and person—he wants to become. The explosive confrontation between Mi Ji and her mother Ok Hui, revealing years of hurt, misunderstanding, and feelings of being unseen. How all four women in the family—grandmother, mother, Mi Rae, and Mi Ji—feel trapped by responsibility, guilt, and circumstance. Han Se Jin's realization that Duson-ri no longer feels right without Mi Rae, prompting him to head to Seoul in search of her. The dramatic ending at the police station, where Mi Rae finally decides to press charges against Park Sang Yeong and declares that the void left by self-doubt is beginning to fill with courage. Lee Jae In and Park Yoon Ho, the talented young actors portraying the younger versions of Mi Ji, Mi Rae, and Ho Su, including their growing careers and notable projects.

Release Info: As Barcelona prepares for the peak of the summer season, Jackies Music Records presents the "Off Barcelona Sampler 2026", a definitive four-track collection arriving on June 12th. Following our recent showcase at IMS Ibiza, this release captures the high-octane energy of the city's rooftop parties and open-air dancefloors during its most iconic month. The compilation serves as a sonic bridge between global influences and the Mediterranean's unique clubbing spirit, bringing together a diverse roster of artists who share a commitment to the "Real House Music" philosophy. The journey begins with the Seoul-born, Paris-raised Grace Kim. A classically trained pianist from the National Conservatory of Paris, Grace Kim translates her profound musical depth into a club-focused sound that is punchy and full of character. Her signature style leans into a dynamic, accessible form of tech house, marked by sharp grooves and a driving energy that mirrors the infectious presence she brings to her performances behind the decks across Europe. The sampler's momentum continues with Mainline, a London-based production duo whose chemistry is the result of over a decade of friendship and shared decks. Channeling the golden era of 90s House and Disco, they deliver a modern interpretation of the classic groove. Their contribution—defined by funky basslines and chunky drums—adds a nostalgic yet forward-thinking layer to the compilation, reinforcing their reputation as one of the UK's most rapidly emerging acts to watch. Expanding on that nostalgic vibration, the Paris-based duo Yamajoy brings the quintessential "French Touch" to the Jackies catalog. Formed within the Mégaparté collective, their sound is a sophisticated cocktail of round basslines, disco strings, and pulsating house beats. By blending 90s piano layers with a generous dose of melody, Yamajoy provides the perfect daytime-to-nighttime transition, capturing the sun-drenched essence of a Barcelona summer. Rounding out the collection is the Madrid-based rising star Devel, whose work is defined by a meticulous balance of house and tech house. Infusing his production with old-school nuances and references to the 80s and 90s, Devel delivers the kind of energetic, living rhythms that have already earned him the backing of titans like Jamie Jones and Solomun. His contribution provides a powerful finale to the sampler, grounding the release in a sound that is both unmistakable and deeply rooted in pure dancefloor functionality. Ultimately, the Off Barcelona Sampler 2026 is more than just a collection of tracks; it is a testament to Jackies' ongoing mission to unite the global house community under one rhythm. As the city transforms into the epicenter of electronic music this June, these four artists provide the essential soundtrack for the moments where the sun meets the sea and the music takes control. Whether on a packed terrace or an intimate basement, this release ensures that the spirit of the Barcelona summer resonates long after the final beat.

Their contribution—defined by funky basslines and chunky drums—adds a nostalgic yet forward-thinking layer to the compilation, reinforcing their reputation as one of the UK's most rapidly emerging acts to watch. Expanding on that nostalgic vibration, the Paris-based duo Yamajoy brings the quintessential "French Touch" to the Jackies catalog. Formed within the Mégaparté collective, their sound is a sophisticated cocktail of round basslines, disco strings, and pulsating house beats. By blending 90s piano layers with a generous dose of melody, Yamajoy provides the perfect daytime-to-nighttime transition, capturing the sun-drenched essence of a Barcelona summer. Rounding out the collection is the Madrid-based rising star Devel, whose work is defined by a meticulous balance of house and tech house. Infusing his production with old-school nuances and references to the 80s and 90s, Devel delivers the kind of energetic, living rhythms that have already earned him the backing of titans like Jamie Jones and Solomun. His contribution provides a powerful finale to the sampler, grounding the release in a sound that is both unmistakable and deeply rooted in pure dancefloor functionality. Ultimately, the Off Barcelona Sampler 2026 is more than just a collection of tracks; it is a testament to Jackies' ongoing mission to unite the global house community under one rhythm. As the city transforms into the epicenter of electronic music this June, these four artists provide the essential soundtrack for the moments where the sun meets the sea and the music takes control. Whether on a packed terrace or an intimate basement, this release ensures that the spirit of the Barcelona summer resonates long after the final beat.

This week, Jun and Daniel sit down for a very special, one-of-a-kind episode featuring four unprecedented guests: Daniel's children! Ranging in age from 3 to 11, the kids have spent the last five years growing up in South Korea, and with the family's impending move back to the United States, Daniel and Jun wanted to capture their unique perspectives as a family time capsule.If you're interested in what third culture kids think about transitioning from Korean elementary schools to American ones, how playground politics are divided by language fluency, or the hilarious ways children interpret adult podcast conversations (hint: interest rates and elevators), this episode is a must-listen. The kids also share their earliest memories of moving to Korea during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic—including the two-week mandatory quarantine, daily cotton swabs, and the indoor arcade in their temporary housing. We even get a live, unscripted Pokémon card unboxing!As a reminder, we publish our episodes bi-weekly from Seoul, South Korea.

What happens when you spend more than two decades helping organizations communicate, investigate, and build trust across the globe? In this episode of Truth Be Told, Dave Thompson, CFI sits down with WZ Vice President of International, Chris Norris, CFI to explore what he's learned from working in more than 45 countries and traveling to over 80. From living in the UK to teaching investigators in Afghanistan, Korea, Brazil, and beyond, Chris shares the cultural lessons, communication mistakes, and relationship-building strategies that have shaped his career. The conversation dives into the surprising differences—and remarkable similarities—between people around the world. Chris discusses how curiosity, humility, and adaptability can help anyone build stronger relationships, whether they're leading an international team, conducting an interview, or simply connecting with people from different backgrounds. Along the way, he shares memorable stories about cultural misunderstandings, translating investigative training across languages, and why some of the most important communication lessons have nothing to do with words at all. Learn more about WZ's International presence! Truths: People are more alike than different. Whether you're in London, Seoul, Kabul, or Chicago, the fundamental challenges of communication, trust, and information gathering remain remarkably consistent. Cultural differences matter, but human nature is universal. Curiosity is a communication superpower. The most effective communicators don't assume—they ask. Chris shares how approaching new cultures with humility, patience, and a willingness to learn opens doors that expertise alone cannot. Adaptation builds credibility. From language choices and email etiquette to dress and behavior, small adjustments can make a big difference in building rapport and trust across cultures. Adaptation isn't about changing who you are—it's about showing respect for the people you're trying to connect with. Don't mistake difference for resistance. What looks like disengagement, disrespect, or reluctance in one culture may actually be a sign of respect in another. Effective communicators learn to challenge their assumptions before drawing conclusions. Open-mindedness is the foundation of growth. Chris's message to every class is simple: "Be open-minded, and we'll learn something together." Whether you're leading a team, conducting an interview, or traveling abroad, growth begins when you're willing to see the world through someone else's perspective.

Your painting is really fantastic!"

MinistryWatch has long been a proponent of what some call the “New Paradigm” of missions. This New Paradigm has several components, but at its core is the notion that well-trained indigenous missionaries are better positioned to evangelize their neighbors than American missionaries who come from thousands of miles away with little knowledge of the language or culture of the people they hope to evangelize. The Institute for Great Commission Research (IGCR) at California Baptist University recently released “Missional Imagination: How the Next Generation Understands Missions.” Among the “top line” findings of this landmark study is this: “Supporting local Christians in their context is seen as the most trusted model of missions.” The study continued, “This preference reflects a strong concern for cultural legitimacy, partnership, and long-term witness, and signals a shift away from models centered on external control, short-term intervention, or visibility.” The man who led that study is my guest today. Dr. Matthew Niermann serves as Professor of Architecture and Associate Dean of the College of Architecture, Visual Arts & Design at California Baptist University.  Niermann serves as a director of the Lausanne Movement and editor of the State of the Great Commission Report prepared for the 4th Global Congress in Seoul, Korea in 2024. Niermann holds a Ph.D. in Architectural Design from the University of Michigan, M.A. Apologetics from BIOLA, M.A. Theology and Th.M. of Missiology from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. I'm your host Warren Smith. Until next time, may God bless you.  

What would you do if you were pressured to support a rebellion that you believed was misguided and doomed to failure? What if the safety of your family and business depended on your answer? In A Ram for Mars (NFB Publishing, 2026), Marcus and Miriam, recently freed slaves from Asia Minor, arrive in Israel buoyed by hopes of finding Marcus's long-lost mother and starting a new life together. They discover that the land is seething with social and political unrest, with anti-Roman parties in the ascendancy. ​Marcus, who grew up in a Roman colony and owes his present prosperity to a Roman master, finds these anti-Roman sentiments perplexing. His uncertainty increases when war breaks out and he's asked to ship supplies to the rebel army, including a newfound cousin who protects the northern front. As his entanglement with the rebellion deepens, Marcus is torn between loyalty to the world in which he was nurtured and the need to secure his family's safety. Then his adopted son runs off to join the rebels. What is he to do? Fans of Conn Iggulden, Ken Follett, and Robert Graves will be captivated by this richly detailed and compelling exploration of the Jewish revolt against Rome (66-73 AD/CE) through the lens of a pro-Roman Jew in the rural district of Galilee. More about A Ram for Mars, as well as the trilogy, “A Slave's Story,” can be found here. Christopher D. Stanley is a social and religious historian who writes about early Christianity and Judaism in the Greco-Roman world. He served for over twenty years as a professor at St. Bonaventure University in western New York, where he holds the title of Professor Emeritus. Dr. Stanley has written or edited ten books and dozens of professional articles on early Christian texts and history and presents papers at academic conferences around the world. The “A Slave's Story” trilogy, which grew out of his historical research on first-century Asia Minor, is his first foray into fiction. He continues to write for the academic world as well, including a recently finished book on sickness and healing in the Greco-Roman world that explores some of the history behind this trilogy, Paul and Asklepios: The Greco-Roman Quest for Healing and the Apostolic Mission (T&T Clark, 2023). Jonathon Lookadoo is Associate Professor at the Presbyterian University and Theological Seminary in Seoul, South Korea. While his interests range widely over the world of early Christianity, he is the author of books on the Epistle of Barnabas, Ignatius of Antioch, and the Shepherd of Hermas, including The Christology of Ignatius of Antioch (Cascade, 2023).

Send us Fan MailSouth Korea just held its 9th nationwide local elections on June 3, 2026, and what should have been a routine referendum on President Lee Jae-myung's first year turned into a genuine mess. Polling stations in Seoul started running out of ballot paper mid-day. Voters waited hours. Some gave up and left. In Songpa and Gangnam, people were still voting at 10 p.m. And then the protesters showed up to block the ballot boxes.Joe and Shawn break down what actually happened, why the National Election Commission's explanation is both accurate and embarrassing, and why "we ran out of paper" is such a uniquely devastating failure for an institution that was already under scrutiny. They also take a longer look at Korea's post-1987 democratic history, a list of election fiascos that includes vote-buying rice bags, NIS agents running smear campaigns online, COVID ballot chaos, and a 2022 election where the main controversy was that ballots were being transported in plastic baskets you'd buy at Daiso.Korea's democracy is real. It's also messy, loudly contested, and occasionally embarrassing. This episode is about both of those things being true at the same time. Korea's #1 ghost and dark history walking tour.

I wish you could visit more often."Ko: 상훈은 말없이 창 밖을 바라보았다.En: Sanghoon silently gazed out the window.Ko: 자유로운 삶을 포기할 수 없었다.En: He couldn't give up his free-spirited life.Ko: 진희는 또 한 번 힘을 내어 민서에게 물었다. "민서야, 넌 앞으로 뭘 하고 싶어?"En: Gathering her strength again, Jinhee asked Minseo, "Minseo, what do you want to do in the future?"Ko: 민서는 한숨을 쉬며 "정말 잘 모르겠어."라고 답했다.En: Minseo sighed and replied, "I really don't know."Ko: 대화는 무겁게 흘러갔다.En: Their conversation flowed heavily.Ko: 찻집은 조용했으나 안에서는 큰 파도가 일렁였다.En: The tea shop was quiet, but inside, a great wave was stirring.Ko: 진희는 마음속의 두려움을 솔직하게 털어놓았다.En: Jinhee frankly expressed her inner fear.Ko: "난 가족을 지키는 게 너무 힘들어. 너희와 함께라면 조금은 나아질 것 같아."En: "It's so hard to keep the family together. It feels a bit more manageable with you both around."Ko: 순간, 상훈은 진희의 손을 잡았다.En: In that moment, Sanghoon took Jinhee's hand.Ko: "미안해. 더 자주 올게. 가족이 소중하다는 걸 잊으면 안 되겠어."En: "I'm sorry. I'll visit more often. I mustn't forget that family is precious."Ko: 민서도 용기를 얻어 말했다. "제주에서 무언가 해볼까 해. 둘이 옆에 있어 줘서 고마워."En: Minseo, gaining courage, said, "I think I'll try something in Jeju. Thanks for being by my side."Ko: 찻집 밖으로 나오니 벚꽃잎이 흩날렸다.En: Stepping outside the tea shop, cherry blossom petals fluttered around them.Ko: 형제들은 서로에 대한 애정을 다시금 깨달았다.En: The siblings reawakened the love they had for each other.Ko: 진희는 홀가분한 마음을 느꼈다.En: Jinhee felt a lightness in her heart.Ko: 상훈은 가족이 주는 위안의 중요성을 이해하게 되었다.En: Sanghoon came to understand the importance of the comfort family provides.Ko: 민서는 새로운 시작을 두려워하지 않기로 결심했다.En: Minseo resolved not to fear a new beginning.Ko: 제주의 봄바람이 세 사람의 얼굴을 부드럽게 어루만졌다.En: The spring breeze of Jeju gently caressed their faces.Ko: 가족은 함께할 때 더 강해진다.En: Family grows stronger when together.Ko: 그렇게 그들은 다시 일상으로 돌아갔다.En: And so, they returned to their daily lives.Ko: 가족이 함께인 시간이, 그 무엇보다 소중한 법이다.En: Time spent with family is more precious than anything.

Oorlog? Chipbubbel? Inflatie, hogere rentes en rooie borden? Joh, paar nachtjes slapen en je baadt weer in het groen. Welkom in de bullmarkt van 2026. We bespreken alle chiplosers die vrijdag in het rood belandden en vandaag weer vleugeltjes kregen op de beurs. Intel doet een megadeal met Google. Marvell mag misschien wel de S&P 500 in. Broadcom plust omdat het wel genoeg afgestraft was en ook de Nederlandse chipbedrijven wisten weer dikke procenten toe te voegen aan hun waarderingen. Verder moeten we écht praten over die meute gnoes uit de Lion King die in Zuid-Korea over de beurs banjeren. De Kospi-index daalde 8.3 procent vannacht. Honderden miljarden dollars aan rijkdom in een avondje weggevaagd. Arend Jan vertelt hoe hij tóch belegt in die malle bende ten oosten van China en natuurlijk filosoferen we nog even over het einde van de geheugentekorten. Overigens is er één index die het nog veel beter deed dan die landelijke indexen vorig jaar. De Euro Stoxx Bank Index knalde zelfs die dikke 75% van Zuid-Korea makkelijk voorbij in 2025. Daarom barst er nu een nieuwe boardroom battle los in Italië. Kemphanen Banco BPM en Intesa Sanpaolo strijden om de oudste bank ter wereld: Monte dei Paschi di Siena. Zou het dan toch kunnen? Europese bankenconsolidatie, binnen de landsgrenzen? We zullen het zien. Verder in deze aflevering: Hoe Deense afvalprikkenboer Zealand Pharma grote broer Novo Nordisk uitdaagde en... verloor omdat patiënten massaal begonnen te braken Handel in voorkennis, want de AFM waarschuwt firma's die zich bezighouden met fusies en overnames dat er criminelen op pad zijn die koersgevoelige informatie proberen te ontfutselen. Genoeg reden voor Arend Jan om nog eventjes herinneringen op te halen over oude schandalen. Te gast: Arend Jan Kamp van Stockwatch.nl en de podcast Het Beurscafé BNR Beurs is een journalistiek onafhankelijke productie, mede mogelijk gemaakt door Saxo. Over de makers: Jelle Maasbach is presentator van BNR Beurs en freelance financieel journalist. Zijn favoriete aandeel om over te praten is Disney, maar daar lijkt hij de enige in te zijn. Sinds de eerste uitzending van BNR Beurs is 'ie er bij. Maxim van Mil is presentator van BNR Beurs en journalist bij BNR, waar hij zich focust op de financiële markten en ontwikkelingen in de tech-wereld. Je krijgt hem het meest enthousiast als hij kan praten over ASML, of oer-Hollandse bedrijven zoals Ahold of ABN Amro. Jorik Simonides is presentator van BNR Beurs, economieredacteur en verslaggever bij BNR. Hij wordt er vooral blij van als het een keer níet over AI gaat. Je hoort hem ook in de BNR-podcast Moerdijk: dorp van de rekening. Milou Brand is presentator van BNR Beurs, freelance podcastmaker en columnist bij het Financieele Dagblad. Jochem Visser is presentator van BNR Beurs, maakt Beursnerd XL en is redacteur bij de podcast Onder Curatoren. Vraag hem naar obscure zaken op financiële markten en hij vertelt je waarom het eigenlijk nóg leuker is dan je al dacht. Over de podcast: Met BNR Beurs ga je altijd voorbereid de nieuwe beursdag in. We praten je in een kleine 25 minuten bij over alle laatste ontwikkelingen op de handelsvloer. We blijven niet alleen bij de AEX of Wall Street, maar vertellen je ook waar nog meer kansen liggen. En we houden het niet bij de cijfers, maar zoeken ook iedere dag voor je naar duiding van scherpe gasten en experts. Of je nu een ervaren belegger bent of net begint met je eerste stappen op de beurs, de podcast biedt waardevolle inzichten voor je beleggingsstrategie. Door de focus op zowel de korte termijn als de lange termijn, helpt BNR Beurs luisteraars om de ruis van de markt te scheiden van de essentie. Van Musk tot Microsoft en van Ahold tot ASML. Wij vertellen je wat beleggers bezighoudt, wie de markten in beweging zet en wat dat betekent voor jouw beleggingsportefeuille.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

VOV1 - Bộ Chiến tranh Mỹ đang thúc đẩy một dự án nghiên cứu phát triển chiến hạm quy mô lớn để phục vụ lực lượng hải quân và đang cân nhắc chọn Nhật Bản và Hàn Quốc làm đối tác.Các nguồn tin quân sự từ Hàn Quốc và Mỹ cho hay Bộ Chiến tranh Mỹ sẽ rót một khoản đầu tư lên tới 1,85 USD từ nguồn nghiên cứu – phát triển của hải quân cho một phân khúc của dự án đóng tàu chiến trong năm tài chính 2027.Ban đầu, khoản đầu tư này chỉ dành cho khâu điều tra năng lực đóng tàu của nước ngoài, nhưng kế hoạch này vấp phải sự phản đối từ phía Cục Quản lý Hành chính và Ngân sách trực thuộc Nhà Trắng (OMB) khi cơ quan này cho rằng đây là khoản đầu tư quá lớn, đủ để mua một tàu hộ vệ hoàn chỉnh, đồng thời cho biết đang xem xét kế hoạch đóng mới 2 tàu chiến theo hướng sản xuất thân vỏ, máy móc, kết cấu điện… tại Nhật Bản và Hàn Quốc, còn các doanh nghiệp quốc phòng Mỹ sẽ đảm nhiệm khâu tổng khống chế tác chiến.Theo phương án này, hiện nay, OMB đang tiến hành đàm phán với các doanh nghiệp đóng tàu Hàn Quốc như Hanwha, HD Hyundai, Samsung Heavy Industry và Mitsubishi Heavy Industry, Kawasaki Heavy Industry, JMU… của Nhật Bản.Mặc dù dự án nêu trên chỉ mang tính tình thế khi Mỹ đang khuyến khích các doanh nghiệp nước ngoài, bao gồm cả Nhật Bản và Hàn Quốc, đầu tư xây mới hoặc mua lại để nâng cấp các cơ sở đóng tàu trong nội địa Mỹ, nhưng cả hai phương án này đều mang lại lợi ích to lớn cho Nhật Bản và Hàn Quốc. Đặc biệt, phương án thứ 2 còn góp phần giúp Tokyo và Seoul thực hiện cam kết đầu tư vào Mỹ với tổng kim ngạch lần lượt là 550 tỷ và 350 tỷ USD để đổi lấy việc Nhà Trắng giảm thuế đối ứng.Bên cạnh đó, sự lựa chọn của Bộ Chiến tranh Mỹ và Cục Quản lý Hành chính và Ngân sách trực thuộc Nhà Trắng còn mang lại cho 2 đồng minh của Mỹ ở châu Á một lợi ích phi vật thể, nhưng rất cụ thể. Đó là minh chứng về năng lực đóng tàu rất cao của Nhật Bản và Hàn Quốc. Điều này sẽ góp phần giúp Tokyo và Seoul nâng cao uy tín thương hiệu quốc gia, cũng như đẩy mạnh tiến trình phát triển công nghiệp quốc phòng nói chung và ngành đóng tàu nói riêng./.VOV Nhật BảnTàu ngầm của Lực lượng phòng vệ Nhật Bản được hạ thủy tại một xưởng đóng tàu của Kawasaki Heavy Industry từ tháng 10-2021.

This week we're excited to present a conversation with The Little Sister lead actress Nadia Melliti, moderated by FLC programmer Madeline Whittle. A 2026 Rendez-vous with French Cinema selection, The Little Sister is currently playing at Film at Lincoln Center, courtesy of Strand Releasing. Get tickets at filmlinc.org/sister Devout Muslim teenager Fatima (Nadia Melliti) lives with her loving Algerian immigrant family in Paris, but fears the inevitable fallout if her tradition-minded kin discover her identity as a lesbian. Initially wary of her own sexuality and eager to downplay it, Fatima blossoms when she meets Ji-na (Return to Seoul star Park Ji-Min), but challenges await the nascent couple. In her fourth directorial effort, Hafsia Herzi (also acclaimed for her captivating performances in The Rapture and The Secret of the Grain) rejects the clichés of queer coming-of-age stories, which so often center around tragedy and trauma. Instead, Herzi centers one young girl's relatively drama-free journey of self-discovery and coming out, one telling incident at a time. A true discovery in her first on-screen role, Melliti won Best Actress awards at Cannes and Lumières, as well as the César Award for Best Female Newcomer, while the film took home the prestigious Louis-Delluc Prize in 2025.

Comment on this episode by going to KDramaChat.com Today, we'll be discussing Episode 7 of Our Unwritten Seoul, the hit K Drama on Netflix starring Park Bo Young as Yoo Mi Ji and Yoo Mi Rae, and Jin Young as Lee Ho Su. We also discuss Jang Young Nam, who plays Kim Ok Hui, and Kim Sun Young, who plays Yeom Bun Hong. We discuss: The songs featured during the recap: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow by Nam Hye Seung and Park Sang Hee, and The Long Wait by Nam Hye Seung and Cho Mira. How Mi Rae's childhood illnesses led her to imagine herself as a tree with thick bark, creating a powerful metaphor for the emotional defenses that protect us but also keep us trapped. Mi Rae's growing connection with Han Se Jin and the way he challenges her belief that enduring hardship is the only path available to her. The revelation that Mi Rae dropped her sexual harassment complaint because she feared the impact on her family and on Ho Su. Se Jin's heartbreaking story about missing his grandfather's final phone calls and the guilt that led him to abandon finance for the strawberry farm. The mystery surrounding Kim Rosa, Hyeon Sang Wol, and the surprising discoveries Lee Chung Gu uncovers while investigating her history. The escalating tension between Kim Ok Hui and Yeom Bun Hong, and how their lifelong insecurities and misunderstandings finally come to the surface Gyeong Gu's emergence as the episode's MVP, offering blunt but insightful advice about love, timing, and taking risks. The episode's central message that there is no such thing as perfect timing, and that waiting for ideal conditions often becomes an excuse for avoiding difficult choices. Ho Su's long-awaited confession to Mi Ji and the emotional payoff of a relationship built on years of friendship, misunderstandings, and devotion. The careers and backgrounds of Jang Young Nam and Kim Sun Young, two acclaimed actresses known for memorable performances across many beloved Korean dramas, plus what we're currently watching and our thoughts on the recent controversy surrounding Perfect Crown.

This week, Jun and Daniel sit down for their final "regular" episode before Daniel's upcoming move back to the US. Daniel shares the stressful reality of his international moving logistics, from the staggering drop in the USD-KRW exchange rate destroying the value of his Jeonse deposit, to the uniquely Korean anxiety of landlords holding deposits hostage until a new tenant moves in. Meanwhile, Jun recounts his birthday trip to Busan's trendy Jeonpo-dong and his observations from the Seoul Jazz Festival, where leaving luxury bags unattended on picnic blankets and organizing synchronized audience light shows is perfectly normal.If you're interested in the disastrous Starbucks Korea "Tank Day" marketing fail that mocked the Gwangju Uprising and led to the CEO's resignation, why Korean men are increasingly embracing Kkeul-gyeo (shaved armpits) to match the asexual aesthetic of K-Pop idols, or the massive FOMO driving Samsung employees to strike over SK Hynix's insane profit-sharing bonuses, this episode is a must-listen. The hosts also discuss the cultural etiquette of spitting watermelon seeds, the depressing reality of Korea's only legal casino for locals, and unbox some incredibly thoughtful listener gifts sent from around the world.As a reminder, we publish our episodes bi-weekly from Seoul, South Korea.

This week, NK News Correspondent Jooheon Kim joins the podcast to discuss a North Korean soccer team's rare trip to the South. The Naegohyang Women's Football Club made the journey for the AFC Women's Champions League semifinals, marking the first visit by a DPRK sports delegation in nearly eight years and the first by a North Korean soccer team in 12 years. Kim recounts the team's arrival at Incheon International Airport and explains why Seoul needed to make a special exception for the team to enter South Korea. He also discusses Naegohyang's semifinal victory over Suwon FC Women, which took place in heavy rain before more than 5,700 spectators, and the political controversy surrounding the match.  Later, Jooheon looks at Naegohyang's victory over Japan's Tokyo Verdy Beleza in the final and examines the sanctions questions raised by Naegohyang's $1 million prize money.  About the podcast: The North Korea News Podcast is a weekly podcast hosted by Alannah Hill exclusively for NK News, covering all things DPRK — from news to extended interviews with leading experts and analysts in the field, along with insight from our very own journalists.

this week on Delusional Diaries, Halley and Jaz are back, but they're not alone. Greta is also back behind the mic after all the love the first time around… but this time, they're still riding the high from their trip to Korea and Tokyo with enough stories, inside jokes, and energy to prove they absolutely should have started podcasting from abroad. from salmon sperm eye treatments that may or may not have done anything, to hand-sculpted Korean nail charms that sparked stranger conversations back home than any engagement ring ever could; this episode kicks off exactly how a good episode should: zero filter, zero agenda, and covering everything. the girls go deep on the things that really matter: what you'd actually bid on at a charity auction, whether you'd rather have ten nudes leaked or a year's worth of iMessages exposed, the lost art of Omegle sleepovers, and why blacking out around influencers hits completely different than it used to. there's also a very sincere debate about grandparent names (honey is taken, non-negotiable), a smash-or-pass round on every fashion trend you've been quietly judging, and a surprisingly earnest pitch for why Sabrina Carpenter must perform at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.of course, as always, the episode navigates so many tangents, chaotically in the best way: girls trip shenanigans, internet brain rot, niche humor that keeps getting resurrected, and the kind of couch conversation that turns into twenty different topics before anyone remembers the original point. if this episode proves one thing, it's that spending too much time together only makes these three funnier. this episode feels exactly like being trapped in a group FaceTime with your funniest friends for two hours. practically, it's very Halley, Jaz & Greta…Timestamps1:41 - Korea Recap 10:38 - Manifesting, sleepovers, and rain plans 34:43 - Putting something up for auction 42:41- Questions for Greta 50:42 - Fashion trends More of Delusional Diaries Podcast:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/delusionaldiariespodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@delusionaldiariespodcastYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@DelusionaldiariespodcastSubstack: https://delusionaldiariespodcast.substack.com/Website: https://delusionaldiaries.com/More of Halley:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/halleykmcg/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@halleykateMore of Jaz:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justjazzzyidk/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@justjazzzyidkYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/justjazzzyidkMore of Greta:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gretalouisetome/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@gretalouisetomeLinks Ollie - Ollie.

A man reaps what he sows. 8 Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.Galatians 5:19-23 19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.An AI generated football broadcast just fooled the internet A fake Al Nassr fan video looked so real people thought it aired on TV.2 Peter:1-3But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves. 2 Many will follow their depraved conduct and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. 3 In their greed these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.APOB AI IS UNLEASHING HYPER-REAL FAKE E-GIRLS — INVADING EVERYWHERE!2 Peter:17-2217 These people are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them. 18 For they mouth empty, boastful words and, by appealing to the lustful desires of the flesh, they entice people who are just escaping from those who live in error. 19 They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity—for “people are slaves to whatever has mastered them.” 20 If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. 21 It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them. 22 Of them the proverbs are true: “A dog returns to its vomit,” and, “A sow that is washed returns to her wallowing in the mud.”
