With the lessons taken from the financial crisis in 1997, the Republic of Korea has been able to surmount the global economic crisis rather successfully.
North Korea spends billions of dollars to make this nuke test system. If they would spend just 20 percent of what they spent on making nuclear weapons, nobody would have to die in North Korea from hunger but the regime chose to make us hungry.
Handwritten political posters – often composed in an artless and unadorned style, usually just words on plain white paper – were ubiquitous in South Korea in the 1970s and 1980s and were one of the few outlets available for expressing political views. Most posters were anonymous and put up under the cover of night.
We just made music that we liked and that people liked in Korea, and then people outside of Korea began to like it – in the same way that we hear pop songs from outside of Korea and enjoy them too.
I shot down two airplanes in Korea, so I wasn’t a slouch.
Jimmy Carter proposed withdrawing the troops from South Korea. He was stopped by the United States Congress.
Not all the roles that I’ve gotten were stereotypical, but in Korea, especially for TV, it’s a bit limited for women in their twenties and thirties. There aren’t enough female roles.
Certainly the Australians were buried in Korea. But I think that from Vietnam on, all the killed were brought home to America or to Australia, in our case.
When I race in Australia or Korea or Japan, I know it will be a big change for me because Ferrari fans are worldwide. It’s very nice if you win, but it’s not so good if you lose. All this is part of being a Ferrari driver.
North Korea and South Korea speak the same language, and actually, we are the same country.
When I started working in human rights, Eastern Europe was communist, South Africa was under apartheid and South Korea had military rule. All the changes have come about not because of the militaries or government but because small groups of people spoke out against what was unfair and unjust.
I’ve been covering North Korea nuclear issues since I was a young reporter in the Tokyo bureau of ‘The Times’ and wrote some of the first pieces about the existence of the program at Yongbyon.
NATO has a special relationship with countries far away from Europe: Australia, Japan, South Korea. They have joint projects and programmes which are being implemented without these countries becoming members of NATO.
My favourite place in South Korea is Jeju Island: it’s a tropical paradise with sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and the magnificent Geomunoreum lava tube system of underground caves.
We must do our part to end poverty in Korea so that the next generation doesn’t experience what we are going through now.
In the summer of 1952, when I was 30, the Army assigned me to an infantry unit fighting in Korea. Meanwhile, though, there was other news in my family: My father had become the Republican presidential nominee. As an ambitious young major, I refused any offers for other assignments.
‘The King of Masked Singer,’ as they call it in Korea, it’s the most popular show in Korea, and it’s my mom’s favorite show.
I’ve been reading a lot about North Korea ever since I got the part in ‘The Interview’ because it’s just such a fascinating place. There are so many amazing stories of bravery coming out of there.
There was this hip-hop collective called People Crew. And at the time in Korea, there was no real place to access rap music. So People Crew used to host this summer school program, which taught rapping and dancing. I begged my mom to attend that school to learn how to rap.
Pyongyang possesses thousands of artillery pieces 30 miles from Seoul. Just one retaliatory salvo could decimate South Korea’s capital.
When I’m in America, everyone thinks of me as the Asian girl. When I go to Korea, everyone thinks of me as an American.
We are categorically against any new military nuclear power, be it Iran, be it North Korea, be it anyone.
North Korea publicly denounced me as an enemy of my people and punished all my relatives. They have this guilty by association policy and they go after three generations of your family or up to eight generations of your family.
There’s hardly any governmental censorship in Korea.
The European Tour plays all over the world: from the U.K. to China, from Korea to South Africa, and from the Middle East to southeast Asia.
If you look at satellite photographs of the Far East by night, you’ll see a large splotch curiously lacking in light. This area of darkness is the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
My real concern is what happens if China becomes the next Cambridge Analytica, what happens if North Korea becomes the next Cambridge Analytica?
So if North Korea continues present isolation, then with such economic difficulties the North Korean government must meet a very serious situation in the future.
I shall make that trip. I shall go to Korea.
I am drawing my inspiration from resource-constrained developed nations like Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and Dubai in attracting global investments. Compared with them, Andhra Pradesh has more resources to leverage on.
To say that the United States has pursued diplomacy with North Korea is a little bit misleading. It did under the Clinton administration, though neither side completely lived up to their obligations. Clinton didn’t do what was promised, nor did North Korea, but they were making progress.
China is the one, the only one, that can control Kim Jong Un, this crazy, fat kid that’s running North Korea.
North Korea is not an undeveloped country; it is a country that has fallen out of the developed world.
We can not underestimate the potential harm North Korea’s capabilities can cause for the rest of the world.
We have debuted in Japan and Korea, but we also really want to make songs in other languages for global fans if there is an opportunity.
I am extremely sorry for the remarks made during the recent Women in Science lunch at the world conference of science journalists in Seoul, Korea.
North Korea is a religion. We are told that Kim is a god and that he knows what you are thinking and how many hairs are on your head. It is the only country which talks about ‘thought crime’ – even thinking is a crime.
The United Nations passed so-called sanctions again on North Korea, and they’ve said they ‘will exercise their preemptive right to a nuclear attack.’ I don’t think this ought to be taken kindly.
Korean food is primarily based on herbs and shoots and sprouts. There’s no pasture land in Korea; we eat like Hobbits.
North Korea was pretty insane. Like the first thing my mom taught me was don’t even whisper, the birds and mice could hear me. She told me the most dangerous thing that I had in my body was my tongue.
There is a different future that is available to North Korea, if they choose differently.
Dwight Eisenhower, the Republican nominee in 1952, made a strong public commitment to ending the war in Korea, where fighting had reached a stalemate.
The basic principle I have is that what is most Korean is what is the most international. I don’t want to come here and act like I’m an American. I want to showcase the dynamic potential Korea has, and I want to prove that as an artist.
I would like to believe that TPP will lead to more exports and jobs for the American people. But history shows that big trade agreements – from NAFTA to the Korea Free Trade Agreement – have resulted in fewer American jobs, lower wages, and a bigger trade deficit.
One of the most important reasons for North Korea continuing its nuclear ambitions is to consolidate the power to stay within the Kim Jong Il family.
I have been with President Trump as he has spoken with leaders from countries on six continents, including Brazil, Bolivia, Ecuador, France, India, Indonesia, Italy, Kenya, Pakistan, Paraguay, Philippines, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, the United Kingdom and many more.
It wasn’t until I went to Korea out of high school and got exposed to the martial arts for the first time and was just completely enamored with the physical ability of the martial arts and making my black belt.
North Korea is not an insane nation. It is not a crazy nation.
The United States needs to hold China accountable for its facilitation of North Korea’s illicit weapons program instead of rewarding Beijing for complacency.
I was sent to Korea, which was excellent training for what came later. I was assigned to remain on duty until I completed one hundred combat missions – or got knocked out – whichever came first.
When I was invited to return to the 2015 One Young World summit in Bangkok, I knew that I had to make it back. One Young World had given me a platform, and for me it was vitally important for new delegates to hear about North Korea.
When it comes to trade, when it comes to standing up to countries like North Korea, when it comes to standing up to guys like Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump is not a conservative.
I do not agree that South Korea needs to develop our own nuclear weapons or relocate tactical nuclear weapons in the face of North Korea’s nuclear threat.
We are just at the studio, me and my choreographers, we are spending like 30 nights and we are thinking, what is my next dance move? Because in Korea there are huge expectations about my dancing. So it was a lot of pressure.
