Growing nuclear threats
North Korea has expanded the possible use of nuclear weapons from deterrence to a preemptive nuclear strike. It has also declared its determination not to give up its nuclear arsenal, heightening tensions on the Korean Peninsula.

Downward pressure on economy
A warning light flashes on Korea's trade front. According to the Bank of Korea, the nation's current account surplus plunged to $1.07 billion in July from $7.71 billion a year earlier. It was due in part to the deficit of $1.18 billion in merchandise trade, the first red-ink figure in goods trade in 10 years and three months. Imports of oil and gas surged 99.3 percent and 58....

Time for telemedicine
The main opposition Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) is under fire for backtracking on its active push for the legalization of telemedicine in a major turnabout from its position when it was the governing party. Some lawmakers of the liberal party, who had proposed two amendments to the Medical Service Act, are sitting back and doing nothing after the change of government in M...

Expo race heats up
Korea has thrown its hat into the ring for Busan's bid to host the 2030 World Expo by submitting its application to the Bureau International des Exposition (BIE) in Paris, Wednesday. The venue for the expo will be determined via votes by the BIE's 170 member countries in November next year. The Expo is regarded as one of the three major global events along with the Olympics a...

'You're still not old enough'
The Korea Development Institute (KDI) has proposed to raise gradually the standard age of senior citizenship, set at 65 now. If Korea sticks to its current standard, the nation's burden of supporting the elderly population will reach the highest level among OECD member countries by 2054, the KDI said. So, the state think tank called for raising the age at which one becomes a ...

Chipmaking in crisis

Simplified Chuseok rituals
Sungkyunkwan, an institution dedicated to preserving traditional Confucian culture, has announced a “standardization of memorial service table” ahead of Chuseok, the four-day fall harvest holiday which starts Friday. The move is belated but welcome as it will help modify the ancestral rites, or “charye,” that has caused diverse social conflicts as seen in “holiday syndrome” a...

Shameful gender inequality
The nation's gender gap in employment remains wide despite a number of policies and budgets, according to a study by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family. The study, titled “Life of Men and Women through Statistics,” found that the employment rate of women stood at 51.2 percent last year, far lower than men's employment rate of 70 percent. Last year's 18.8-point gender ...

Opposition going too far
The main opposition Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) seems to have gone too far in attempting to block the prosecution from investigating allegations that its new Chairman Lee Jae-myung spread false information during the presidential campaign. On Monday, the DPK filed a complaint with the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office against President Yoon Suk-yeol for allegedly...
