Hyundai Motor Group said Thursday it will start operating at a shopping mall in Kyoto this week, making for its first in Japan outside Tokyo. The Hyundai Mobility Kyoto Shijo store allows visitors to experience the carmaker’s eco-friendly vehicles, including the hot-selling Ioniq 5 and the hydrogen-powered Nexo. The South Korean carmaker has been making a renewed push for a foray into the Japanese market, which has long remained untapped despite an aggressive overseas expansion in recent y

  The state visit of the Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev to Kyrgyzstan ended Jan. 27. Undoubtedly, the significance of its results will go down in the history of bilateral relations. Moreover, they mark a new stage in the process of regional cooperation. I would even say that the significance of the results of the visit goes beyond the region and may even play an important role in stabilizing the entire system of international relations. There are good reasons for such an assertion. Duri

The Yoon Suk Yeol administration’s rush to mend fences with Japan stokes both hopes and concerns. The hopes are for a modest achievement -- a certain degree of amity after years of bitter feuds. The concerns constitute a minefield. They defy the administration’s contention that its predecessors were “driven by short-sighted anti-Japanism” and the results will be different this time. Frankly, concerns override hopes. The first hurdle to rapprochement is the long-festering

One of the most iconic images of our time shows a polar bear marooned and adrift on an ice floe. Few other images capture the reality of climate change so viscerally. And now, ironically, Davos Man finds himself in a similar metaphorical position. His natural habitat, the hyper-globalized world of the past half-century, is shrinking, and he has gone from skiing in the Swiss Alps to skating on thin ice. Of course, globalization long predates Davos Man. Ever since the dawn of industrialization in

"Bbang" is used here as a suffix to indicate nasty violent celebrations. It refers to the practice in which close friends hit each other on their birthdays. Usually consi

In the US and Japan, men are not required to fulfill mandatory military duty. Therefore, both Americans and Japanese find military life irrelevant to them. In the case of America, for example, the Council on Foreign Relations has recently revealed that presently there are 1.3 million US soldiers on active duty, which consist of only 0.5 percent of the American population. In South Korea, where military service is compulsory, things are radically different. Except for teenagers, nearly all Kore

You will not believe the video that was released Friday night showing Memphis police officers beating -- ultimately to death -- a young Black man. I don’t really mean that, of course. If you live in the US, and participate in society, you likely have no difficulty believing that a gang of violent police officers fatally pummeled Tyre Nichols in what the city’s police chief accurately described as a “heinous” attack. Indeed, if you have an internet connection or a televi
