Seollal and sebae
I'm looking forward to New Year this year. I don't mean the Western calendar New Year, which has passed. I mean Seollal. It's Feb. 11-13 with New Year itself two days before Valentine's Day.

Biden and Korean relations
I'm happy Joseph Biden has begun as the new President of the United States. I think Koreans are too, at least those South of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). Among the many challenges of foreign policy facing the United States, relations with North Korea will remain a flash point over the next four years.

Rule of law (II)
This past week, I'm sure I heard the Statues of Liberty crying. There is the famous statue in New York, and there are others. We name them as we see them. Atlasobscura.com lists some of them. But they were crying, and so was I. It was a deafening sound for those who listened.

Rule of law in democracies
Several events have occurred in the United States and Korea that prompt confusion of citizens concerning the rule of law. President Trump worked very hard to challenge the results of his unsuccessful reelection bid. He's held much-needed economic relief funds hostage to the idea they're inadequate. Finally, he's pardoned a host of friends and associates guilty of many crimes, raising howls and cries galore. In South Korea, President Moon Jae-in has apologized for confusion surrounding the failed attempt to punish and prosecute Yeon Seok-youl, the prosecutor general.

Hope and luck in Korea
At this time in our year and century, with the horrible war that is COVID-19, I thought to write about good luck. The Korean word for good luck is “bok.” In ancient Greek it's “tuche.” Luck is something not to rely on. However, some say luck benefits those who already think prudently. That's what Machiavelli reminded us about fortune. To others, luck is foolish superstition and completely irrational. Each of us gets to decide, right?

Biden and Korean security
As the United States, her allies and the world prepare for the end of the Trump presidency, the calls begin for President-elect Biden to develop a coherent foreign policy respecting America's commitments and partnerships. The morass of public health that is COVID-19 in the United States and elsewhere should speed America's return to multilateral initiatives. This includes relations with the Republic of Korea and foreign relations on the Korean Peninsula, as well as with surrounding countries Japan, Russia and China. The thicket is too thick. It will take more than four years to return Americ...

After the sideshow
While President Trump mulls the end of his presidency, life begins to move forward. Next year, when Joseph Biden becomes president of the United States, the sideshow that's marked Trump's presidency will end. None too soon! Four years marked by a 19th century dodger in 21st century clothing shouldn't have happened. But democracies don't guarantee the ruler's virtue. Thank God we have a new leader in a country premised on “We the People,” not “I the Leader.”

Belated happy birthday!
I want to write this column in praise of The Korea Times on its 70th birthday. I had every hope of visiting Seoul to celebrate with the staff, but COVID-19 has conspired against me. I look forward to visiting in future.

Selma and the 'Mud-Snail Fairy'
By Bernard RowanRecently, I listened again to the song “Broken Wings”, recorded in the 1980s by Mr. Mister, an American group. The song is a stirring reminder of the possibilities of love triumphing over doubt and despair. This applies to love from faith, and to love between people, romantic or otherwise.In my looking around, I discovered that the song and famous MTV video took inspiration from the poignant novel by Khalil Gibran, titled “Broken Wings.” It tells the story of fated love shining past tragedy. It praises women and motherhood as universal paths of improve...

Response to Yang's letter
Recently, I enjoyed the column by fellow opinion writer Lee Seong-hyon entitled “China's conditions to US” that was carried in this paper's Sept. 15 edition. I'd like to share some thoughts about Yang Jiechi's letter on Sino-American relations and some ideas that speak to America's foreign policy, or at least my view of it.
