South Korean official expelled over ‘import women’ comment

A South Korean official has been expelled from the ruling Democratic Party after suggesting that the country “import young women” from Vietnam or Sri Lanka to address declining birth rates. Kim Hee-soo, head of Jindo County in South Jeolla Province, made the remark during a televised town hall meeting, saying these women could be married to young men in rural areas. South Korea faces one of the world’s lowest birth rates, with projections suggesting its 50 million population could halve within 60 years. The comment sparked widespread public outrage and a diplomatic protest from Vietnam. Attempts by Kim to apologise the following day were not enough to quell criticism. Local media reported that Kim said his remark aimed to highlight population issues in rural regions but acknowledged that his language was “inappropriate.” South Jeolla Province also issued a formal apology, […]

North Korea tests hypersonic missiles, warns nuclear forces are war ready

North Korea says it has successfully test fired new hypersonic missiles under the supervision of leader Kim Jong Un to prepare its nuclear forces for a possible war. State media said the launches were part of drills to place the country’s nuclear arsenal on a more practical, combat ready footing amid what Pyongyang called a worsening geopolitical crisis.​ According to reports, the missiles flew around 1,000 kilometres over waters east of North Korea, in what Seoul and Tokyo described as the country’s first ballistic missile test of the year. Hypersonic missiles travel at more than five times the speed of sound and can manoeuvre in flight, making them harder for existing air and missile defences to track or intercept.​ Kim said recent international events, including the U.S. military operation that removed Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, proved the need for a […]

Former Tottenham Star Taricco Suspended for Racist Gesture in South Korea

Former Tottenham Hotspur defender Mauricio Taricco has been suspended for five matches and fined 20 million won ($13,600) by the K League after making a racist “slant-eye” gesture toward a referee in South Korea. Taricco, now assistant coach at Jeonbuk, was sent off after contesting a penalty call and then reportedly shouted the Spanish word for “racist” before pulling his eyes back with his fingers. K League officials ruled his behavior racist and referenced similar gestures as grounds for prior FIFA sanctions. Taricco claimed he was simply questioning whether the referee saw the handball, but the league rejected his explanation. Jeonbuk, under manager Gus Poyet, won the first-division title this season, with Taricco as assistant. The duo have worked together in England, Greece, Spain, China, and France. The K League emphasized zero tolerance for actions widely perceived as racist.

South Korea eyes nuclear submarine launch by late 2030s after US approval

South Korea could launch its first nuclear-powered submarine by the late 2030s, a senior defence ministry official said Tuesday, days after the United States approved Seoul’s plan to move forward with development. The announcement follows remarks by US President Donald Trump, who said he had given Washington’s ally a “green light” for the project after the two countries reached a broad deal covering investment and shipbuilding. Trump, speaking during a regional summit in Seoul, wrote on Truth Social that South Korea would manufacture its submarine “in the Philadelphia Shipyards, right here in the good ol’ U.S.A.” U.S. nuclear submarine technology is among the most tightly guarded military secrets, making Washington’s approval a significant milestone for Seoul. Unlike diesel-powered submarines, which must surface periodically to recharge batteries, nuclear-powered vessels can remain submerged for extended periods, offering major strategic advantages. Seoul has […]

Xi Jinping urges global cooperation and free trade at APEC summit as Trump departs early

Chinese President Xi Jinping has urged world leaders to strengthen economic globalisation and uphold multilateralism at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Gyeongju, South Korea — an event notably missed by US President Donald Trump. Xi took the spotlight during the two-day summit, which began on Friday, meeting with several regional leaders while Trump left South Korea a day earlier after signing deals aimed at cooling tensions in the ongoing trade war between Washington and Beijing. “The more turbulent the times, the more we must work together,” Xi said at the opening session. “The world is undergoing a period of rapid change, with the international situation becoming increasingly complex and volatile.” Positioning China as a champion of free trade, Xi warned against protectionist measures and economic decoupling — a veiled criticism of Trump’s “America First” policy and tariff-driven trade […]
