Shameful boycott
The main opposition Democratic Party of Korea's (DPK) boycott of President Yoon Suk-yeol's budget speech at the National Assembly on Tuesday cannot be justified under any circumstances. It was a shameful act that deserves criticism for the dereliction of duty as a responsible political party.

Local councilors' greed
Local councilors around the country are under criticism over their greedy moves for higher pay. Many are pushing for a significant hike in their own salaries, officially claimed as expenses for their activities, for the next four years ahead of the Oct. 31 deadline. Critics are right to say these councilors are lining their pockets while turning a blind eye to the people's li...

Protect victims first
The Ministry of Justice has announced amendment bills to the Stalking Punishment Act and the Electronic Device Attachment Act, alarmed by the shocking murder of a subway worker by her former coworker at Sindang Station in Seoul.

Let probes go on
Political tensions are escalating as prosecutors gear up to investigate a “slush fund” allegedly spent on main opposition Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) Chairman Lee Jae-myung's presidential campaign. Prosecutors raided the DPK's headquarters Thursday to seize evidence of the illicit money, but to no avail due to fierce resistance from party members. The DPK threatened to qu...

Specter of Asian crisis
The Japanese yen and the Chinese yuan have remained weak against the U.S. dollar, deepening concerns about capital outflows from Asia and raising the specter of a region-wide financial crisis. The falling value of the currencies of the two economic giants has also put downward pressure on other Asian currencies, including the Korean won, amid the dollar’s strength.

Contradictions at shipyards
The government unveiled measures Wednesday to narrow the gap among shipbuilding workers and improve the dual structure of main contractors and subcontractors.
