衆院内閣委員会で質問を聞く石破茂首相、４日午前、国会内韓国の尹錫悦大統領の罷免を受け、日本政府からは尹政権下で好転した日韓関係の揺り戻しにつながりかねないと懸念する声が出ている。 Japan is worried that South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol's removal from power will undo the improvements in bilateral relations made under his administration.

Japan is worried that South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol's removal from power will undo the improvements in bilateral relations made under his administration.

D-day is rapidly approaching for South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol, with the Constitutional Court expected to rule on whether to uphold his impeachment in the next week. Whatever the court decides, it will have profound implications for not just domestic politics but also North Korea policy and peninsula security. To better understand what's on the horizon, NK Pro recently hosted a discussion with two experts on the Koreas: Andrei Lankov, a leading authority on North Korean studies, and Jumin Lee, a U.S.-based attorney and contributing analyst at Korea Pro. The experts explore a wide range of possible scenarios, from what a Lee Jae-myung presidency would look like to how North Korea would respond to the political chaos that would unfold if Yoon returns to power. Andrei Lankov is a director at NK News and writes for the site as one of the world's leading authorities on North Korea. He is also a professor at Kookmin University. Jumin Lee is a native South Korean and a U.S. trial lawyer practicing at Los Angeles-based law firm Bird Marella. He is a contributing analyst at Korea Pro, where he provides analysis on legal and political issues, and his commentary has also been featured in domestic and international outlets. He is the author of “Why Anti-Discrimination Law?,” a book that examines proposals for comprehensive anti-discrimination legislation in South Korea. This podcast was originally recorded at a Korea Risk Group event in Seoul on March 5, 2025. Jeongmin Kim, editorial director at Korea Pro and correspondent at NK News, moderated the discussion.

South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol was released Saturday as the prosecution decided not to appeal against a court's release approval.由于检方决定不对法院的释放批准提出上诉，韩国总统尹锡悦于上周六获释。Yoon got off a black vehicle and walked out of the Seoul Detention Center in Uiwang, about 20 km south of Seoul, waving hands and bowing to his supporters who were standing along the road, TV footage showed.电视画面显示，尹锡悦从一辆黑色汽车上下来，走出位于首尔以南约20公里处的首尔拘留所，向站在路边的支持者挥手鞠躬。After arriving at the presidential residence in central Seoul, the impeached leader got off the vehicle again to shake hands with his supporters.在抵达首尔市中心的总统官邸后，这位被弹劾的领导人再次下车，与支持者握手。Yoon said in a statement that he appreciated the court's determination, people's support despite cold weather, and the leadership of the ruling People Power Party.尹在一份声明中说，他感谢法院的决心、人民在寒冷天气下的支持以及执政党国民力量党的领导。The Seoul Central District Court approved the release of the arrested president on Friday, accepting Yoon's request to cancel his detention that was made by his legal team on Feb 4.首尔中央地方法院周五批准释放被捕的总统，接受了尹锡悦律师团队于2月4日提出的取消拘留的请求。Yoon was apprehended in presidential office on Jan 15 and was indicted under detention on Jan 26 as a suspected ringleader of insurrection, becoming the country's first sitting president to be arrested and prosecuted.1月15日，尹锡悦在总统府被捕，1月26日，他因涉嫌煽动叛乱而被起诉，成为该国首位被逮捕和起诉的现任总统。Prosecutors brought the accusation against Yoon at 6:52 pm local time on Jan 26, but the Seoul Central District Court said Yoon's arrest period expired at 9:07 am local time of the same day.检察官于当地时间1月26日下午6点52分对尹提出指控，但首尔中央地方法院称，尹某的逮捕期限已于当地时间当天上午9点07分到期。The prosecution's special investigative unit in charge of Yoon's insurrection case sought to appeal against the court's Friday ruling, but the country's prosecutor general ordered the unit to follow the court's decision, according to local media outlets.据当地媒体报道，负责尹锡悦叛乱案的检方特别调查组试图对法院周五的裁决提出上诉，但该国总检察长命令该调查组遵从法院的裁决。Yoon declared an emergency martial law on the night of Dec 3 last year, but it was revoked by the opposition-led National Assembly hours later.尹锡悦于去年12月3日晚宣布紧急戒严令，但数小时后被反对党领导的国会撤销。A motion to impeach Yoon was passed in the National Assembly on Dec 14, and since then the constitutional court has held 11 hearings on Yoon's impeachment with its final verdict widely expected to be delivered next week.12月14日，国会通过了弹劾尹锡悦的动议，此后宪法法院就尹炳世弹劾案举行了11次听证会，普遍预计下周将做出最终判决。Prosecutionn.控告，起诉，检举；原告及其律师的总称；实施，实行，执行，贯彻，营业；从事Footagen.以英尺表示的长度或距离；（电影或电视的）片段的数量或长度；连续镜头；进尺Detentionn.拘留，监禁；放学后留校Impeachmentn.弹劾；控告；怀疑

In this episode, Jeongmin, John and Joon Ha discuss South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol's ongoing martial law trial, where military commanders have given conflicting testimonies about whether Yoon ordered troops to detain opposition lawmakers and close the National Assembly. The team also breaks down the Constitutional Court's ruling against Acting President Choi Sang-mok's truncated judicial appointments, a decision welcomed by the Democratic Party and criticized by the ruling People Power Party. While Choi has acknowledged the ruling, he insists that a bipartisan agreement is necessary before finalizing the last judicial appointment. On the economic front, China has retaliated against U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs by imposing export controls on tungsten and other rare earth metals essential for semiconductor production. Meanwhile, South Korean government ministries have banned the use of DeepSeek's R1 LLM on official computers, citing security concerns, aligning with similar measures taken by the U.S. government. In diplomacy, South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yul is set to meet U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Munich, marking the first high-level U.S.-ROK engagement under the new Trump administration. This meeting follows a flurry of U.S.-Japan diplomatic interactions, including an upcoming summit between Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba. Finally, South Korea's industry ministry has confirmed that while oil and gas reserves likely exist under the East Sea, there is little evidence to suggest they are economically viable — affirming long-standing expert assessments.

US, Egypt urge 'flexibility' to achieve Gaza truce "Israel and Hamas are moving closer to a ceasefire in Tel Aviv's four-hundred-sixty-seventh day of a genocidal war in the Palestinian enclave of Gaza. US President Joe Biden and his Egyptian counterpart Abdel Fattah el-Sisi emphasised the need for ""flexibility"" from all sides during a phone call to solidify a truce between Israel and Hamas-according to a statement from Sisi's office. A spokesperson for the Egyptian president stated that the two leaders reviewed the latest developments in the negotiations and underscored the importance of the concerned parties' commitment to overcoming obstacles and demonstrating the necessary flexibility to reach an agreement. Israel's relentless attacks have resulted in over forty-six-thousand-six-hundred-forty-five-Palestinian deaths and one-hundred-ten-thousand-twelve wounded in indiscriminate attacks since October 2023." Israel prepares to withdraw from Philadelphi Corridor — report "Israel is reportedly preparing for a major shift as its army plans to withdraw from the Philadelphi Corridor on the Palestine-Egypt border in Gaza. Public broadcaster KAN has reported intensive meetings within the Southern Command, indicating steps toward a phased pullout in alignment with a ceasefire agreement. A security source has revealed plans to vacate the Palestinian side of the-Rafah crossing shortly after a highly anticipated prisoner swap deal is finalised." US removes Cuba from terror list as 553 prisoners are freed "US President Joe Biden lifts Cuba's ""state sponsor of terrorism"" label, a move tied to the release of five-hundred-fifty-three Cuban prisoners. A White House official cited no evidence for Cuba's terror designation, lauding the Catholic Church's role in securing political prisoner releases. Cuba faces decades-long US sanctions, deepened by economic mismanagement and Covid-19. Cuba said it would free hundreds of prisoners held for ""diverse crimes"" shortly after Washington's announcement. Meanwhile, Cuba braces for tighter policies under President-elect Donald Trump's return next week." South Korean impeached President Yoon arrested over his martial law bid "In a dramatic dawn raid, South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol was arrested following his controversial martial law bid. Anti-corruption investigators and police stormed his residence in Seoul after a weeks-long standoff. Yoon, who initially resisted, agreed to cooperate but was taken into custody before delivering his planned speech. In a video message recorded before he was escorted to the headquarters of the anti-corruption agency, Yoon said that the-""rule of law has completely collapsed in this country."" He faces up to 48 hours in detention." US bans smart cars with Chinese, Russian technology "The US has finalised a rule barring Chinese and Russian technology from American cars, citing national security concerns. The rule prohibits the sale of vehicles containing technology components linked to China or Russia, even if the car is US-made. The restrictions, set to take effect in 2027 for software and 2030 for hardware, aim to prevent potential security risks and data breaches. China has condemned these measures as a violation of international trade rules and vowed to take necessary action."

Lee Jae-myung, leader of South Korea's main opposition Democratic Party, was injured on Tuesday after being stabbed in the neck by a man in his 60s during a visit to the southeastern port city of Busan.While taking questions from reporters at about 10:27 am after touring the construction site of a new airport in Busan, Lee was stabbed on the left side of his neck and collapsed on the floor with blood.Citing medical staff in Busan, a Democratic Party spokesman said in a televised news briefing that Lee's jugular vein, which carries blood from the head to the heart, was believed to have been damaged.An unnamed Busan hospital official was quoted by Yonhap News Agency as saying that if the carotid artery, which supplies blood to the head, was damaged, it would have become a life-threatening injury.Lee reportedly suffered a laceration of around one and a half centimeters.He was transported by helicopter to a hospital in Seoul for surgery after receiving emergency treatment in Busan.Video footage showed that the assailant approached Lee asking for an autograph and then stabbed him in the left neck. People around Lee wrestled the attacker to the ground before the police officers arrested him at the scene.About 20 minutes after the attack, Lee was taken to a nearby hospital in a conscious state.The assailant, identified only by his surname Kim in his 60s, told the police that he had the intention of killing the Democratic Party leader, local media reported citing the Busan metropolitan police agency.Kim purchased the knife about 18 centimeters long on the internet last year. He had no other criminal record.South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol ordered the police and relevant authorities to rapidly find out the truth and make every effort to support Lee for his treatment, according to the presidential office.Yoon stressed that such violent acts should never be tolerated under any circumstances.A former governor of Gyeonggi Province, Lee narrowly lost to Yoon, a former chief prosecutor, in the 2022 presidential election. He has led the main opposition party since August 2022.South Korea's next parliamentary elections are slated for April.Source: Xinhua

South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol announced his nominee for unification minister last week, but his pick for the role overseeing inter-Korean exchanges — the “new right” professor Kim Yung-ho — has proven controversial for his past comments calling for regime change and repeatedly predicting North Korea's collapse. NK News correspondent Shreyas Reddy discusses the nomination and what it means for the ministry, as well as the DPRK's new anti-U.S. propaganda posters, YouTube shutting down North Korean channels and more. Then, former U.S. National Security Advisor John Bolton joins the podcast for an exclusive interview to discuss his views on how to create a unified Korean Peninsula and counter DPRK nuclear threats, and why he believes regime change is not necessary to achieve these goals. He also talks about why he believes China should do more to reign in Pyongyang and promote peace, how a withdrawal of U.S. troops would impact negotiations on North Korean WMDs and more. John Bolton has played a key role in shaping Washington's policy toward North Korea over the course of more than two decades, including leading efforts to abandon the Agreed Framework. He served as former President Donald Trump's national security advisor from April 2018 to Sept. 2019, a period that covered all three of Trump's meetings with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Before that Bolton served as under secretary of state for arms control and international security affairs and as U.S. ambassador to the U.N. under George W. Bush.

What does the trip reveal about Yoon's foreign policy? What far-reaching impact will it have on South Korea and the region? Host Ge Anna is joined by Dr. Qu Bo, Professor from China Foreign Affairs University; Dr. Lee Pei May, Assistant Professor of Political Science, International Islamic University Malaysia; Dr. Josef Mahoney, Professor of Politics and International Relations, East China Normal University.

North Korea fired nearly 20 missiles across more than a half-dozen launch events in March, framing the tests and drills as responses to large-scale U.S.-ROK springtime exercises. But now that the calendar has turned to April, even bigger developments could be on the horizon. The DPRK will mark a number of important holidays this month, including the birth anniversary of Kim Il Sung and the founding of the national military. And North Korea has indicated that it will complete preparations for a satellite launch this month, while South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol is scheduled to make a state visit to the U.S. that Pyongyang will closely monitor.  This week, NK News founder Chad O'Carroll and analyst James Fretwell join the podcast to discuss the March that was and prospects for the month ahead — from North Korea's new undersea “nuclear attack drone” and surprise border reopening to ongoing military drills in South Korea and the possibility of more long-range missile testing.

Six months in, South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol still treads a careful balance on some policy matters. Veerle speaks with Ms Saeme Kim, Korea Foundation Visiting Fellow in RUSI's Indo-Pacific Programme from 2021–2022. Saeme explores the policy continuities and changes in the Republic of Korea (ROK) from former President Moon Jae-in to current President Yoon Suk-yeol, outlining the country's soon-to-be-launched Indo-Pacific Strategy and some bold new endeavours with partners like the US. As tensions with Beijing and Pyongyang remain, greater cooperation with partners in Europe and the Indo-Pacific could come at a cost in Seoul's own immediate regional environment. Despite this, a more outward-facing and networked South Korea with expertise in specific subregions and policy areas is likely to materialise. The UK, in particular, stands to gain from working more closely with Seoul, and Saeme offers a few ideas in this regard.

South Korea's National Assembly approved a 62 trillion won supplementary budget aimed at supporting businesses hit by pandemic-related restrictions. The amount approved was 2.6 trillion won more than the 59.4 trillion won announced last month and will mostly be used for cash handouts for small businesses and self-employed people to make up for losses incurred due to COVID-19 restrictions.The additional spending comes after South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol pledged to compensate 5.5 million owners of small businesses for pandemic losses shortly before taking office on May 10.

President Biden will visit Seoul in May for his first meeting with newly-elected South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol, as both countries face increasing mutual concerns, including North Korea's first intercontinental ballistic missile launch since 2017 in March, followed by the April test of a new tactical guided weapon to boost nuclear capability.
