I am quite sure that most people have the experience of being surprised by a sudden downpour in the middle of a sunny day. Due to the advancement of technology, the predictability of the rapid changes in weather phenomena has improved significantly, but is still not perfect. Why are weather forecasts not always accurate, even in the modern era? Weather predictions do not seem that difficult considering the fact that we can predict solar or lunar eclipse with a great deal of accuracy. Believe

A few days ago, I watched a travel documentary. I love to travel because I can learn about new cultures, meet various people and feel a new vibe. Moreover, traveling is the way for me to relieve stress and get refreshed. From the moment I make travel plans, I get excited. However, because of COVID-19, I have not been able to go anywhere anymore. If I want to feel the vacation vibe, the only thing I can do is watch YouTube for places I want to go. Sadly, this is the only way to satisfy my hun

KH Group, which last week signed a deal to take over the alpine resort Alpensia, vowed to turn the main venue of the 2018 Winter Olympics into a bustling global tourist attraction by building new facilities. “The due diligence and term negotiations went smoothly and we finally inked the asset takeover deal,” said Han Woo-geun, CEO of KH Gangwon Development, a special-purpose company created for the bid. “On top of the existing resort facilities, we will build new multiuse c

The year 2021 is seen as a period of transition as markets recover in the post-COVID rebound. Among the areas that will see an economic boost is the mergers and acquisitions market. What companies must recognize is that the M&A market in the post-COVID era is likely to unfold a slightly different reality than in the past. There will be a more explicit and extensive embodiment of environmental, social, and governance values in M&A deals. ESG and its impact on M&A The COVID-19 pande

By hastily withdrawing American troops from Afghanistan, US President Joe Biden has made a grave mistake, or so many argue. US Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, for example, has called the Taliban’s swift takeover of the country an “even worse sequel to the humiliating fall of Saigon in 1975.” That sequel, top US generals, conservatives and even some liberals predict, will be characterized by the resurgence of transnational terrorism. The prediction is straightforward.

As the Taliban seize control of Kabul and indeed all of Afghanistan, it is worth pondering the less obvious lessons of this 20-year episode. It is a reminder of why I cannot bring myself to be a foreign policy hawk, even though I largely accept the hawks’ worldview and underlying values. Let’s put aside whether or not you favor President Joe Biden’s withdrawal, and note that sooner or later it was likely to happen. Former President Donald Trump had favored withdrawal, too, as

“Is feminism such a problematic word that we should avoid using it?” I asked my staff at Koreana. I suggested “Feminist Narratives” as the title of the magazine’s special focus on acclaimed female film directors. To me, reframing the title to avoid poking a small number of misogynists was not justified. I believed the filmmakers’ projects have had the same objective: to delve into subjects that have always been ignored, overlooked or understated in a deeply p

It has been excruciating to watch the Taliban roll across Afghanistan, undoing in a matter of months two decades of efforts by the Afghan people and the international community to build a decent, secure and functioning state. The Taliban effectively wrapped up its stunning sweep of the country on Sunday, moving into Kabul and prompting President Ashraf Ghani to flee. The Taliban’s virtually uncontested takeover over Afghanistan raises obvious questions about the wisdom of US President Joe
