Pentagon: US to Closely Discuss Joint Military Exercise with S. Korea

The Pentagon said the U.S. will closely discuss with South Korea the timing, size and scope of the upcoming joint military exercise. U.S. Department of Defense spokesperson John Kirby relayed the stance in a media briefing on Wednesday in response to a question on what Washington will do if Seoul asks to reduce or postpone the upcoming drill due to the fluid situation on the Korean Peninsula. Kirby said he cannot answer a hypothetical question but ensured that the U.S. conducts all military operations and exercises on the peninsula in consultation and coordination with South Korea. Citing the allies’ motto “We go together,” the spokesperson emphasized the mutual and bilateral nature of the alliance’s training, saying that decisions are made with Seoul and taking its concerns and wishes into account. Discussions on the kinds of training activities, the scope, timing and number of participants will all be made while closely coordinating with South Korea, according to the spokesperson.

Statements from surviving "comfort women" were played as part of the program.  The council said that over the years, the Wednesday rally has become a venue for communication, solidarity, peace and future education.

New cases spike to fresh high of over 1,600, non-Seoul area also under toughened curbs

South Korea's daily virus cases hit yet another fresh high Wednesday as the country battles the fourth wave of the pandemic amid woes over rising delta variant cases and a slow vaccination process. The country added 1,615 new COVID-19 cases, including 1,568 local infections, raising the total caseload to 171,911, according to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA). The daily figures have stayed above 1,000 for eight consecutive days. Concerns have grown here over a further uptick in new infections amid the fast spread of the more contagious delta variant and the summer season despite toughened virus curbs. The greater Seoul area, home to half of the country's 51.3 million population, has been under the toughest level of distancing since Monday.

 

Under new virus curbs, gyms can play 'Butter' but not 'Gangnam Style'

Gyms in the capital area may need a new instrument in the fight against COVID-19 -- a metronome. As of Monday, the government has banned gyms in the greater Seoul area from playing music faster than 120 beats per minute (bpm) during group exercises. That's to prevent people from breathing heavily and accidentally getting saliva on each other -- an extra precaution amid a record-breaking surge in COVID-19 cases in the country. What it means in practice is that BTS' "Butter" and "Dynamite" are safe to play (the songs have bpms of 110 and 114, respectively) but Psy's "Gangnam Style" is not (132 bpm). One gym owner in Suwon, 46 kilometers south of Seoul, said the new rule has forced him to change the playlist not just for exercise classes, such as aerobics, spin and Zumba but his entire business. "We have both exercise machines and group exercises, so I can't play fast music," he said, adding he is worried the restriction, along with the other curb that limits the speed on treadmills to 6 kph, will further hurt his business.


Baseball player infected with COVID-19 apologizes for illegal gathering

A South Korean baseball player infected with the novel coronavirus apologized Wednesday for an illegal gathering in his hotel room with his teammates and two outside guests, an incident that led to an outbreak on the team and an abrupt suspension of the league play. Park Sok-min of the NC Dinos in the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) said he decided to come forward and clear the air on the situation, amid rumors of a drinking party involving four NC players and others inside a Seoul hotel room while the team was in town for a road series. Earlier in the day, the Dinos acknowledged that four of their players met with two guests inside the hotel room, which was a violation of social distancing rules that banned private gatherings of more than four people. Rules have since tightened in Seoul, and meetings of more than two people are prohibited after 6 p.m.

Reserve training canceled on COVID-19 surges

South Korea is suspending training for its reserve forces for a second consecutive year, as the fourth wave of COVID-19 threatens to spiral out of control. The US provided Johnson & Johnson’s coronavirus vaccine for South Korean troops and military workers, but the supply fell short of covering key demographic groups -- those aged between 20 and 30, who account for the majority of the reserve forces. Those aged 30 and below will receive their shots in August at the earliest, which means they will develop resistance to the virus in mid-October. Training this year is out the window,” the Ministry of National Defense said Wednesday.

 

Japan never admitted a thing’

On Wednesday, single-person protests took place in front of the Japanese Embassy in Seoul calling for an apology from the Japanese government and demanding it redress its colonial sexual slavery. Unlike the 1,400th demonstration that garnered thousands of people on site, due to the pandemic the 1,500th protest was held in the form of one-person protests -- still watched by thousands of people around the world online.

 

The Wednesday protests first began on Jan. 8, 1992 and have been held every Wednesday except during the Kobe earthquake in Japan in 1995 and the Great East Japan Earthquake in March 2011. Thirty years have passed since the first demonstration, but “Nothing has changed,” said Lee Yong-soo, a victim of sexual enslavement euphemistically referred to as a “comfort woman,” in an online interview with The Korea Herald. She is among 14 known survivors.

 

Korea to add W60tr more to tackle economic polarization by 2025

South Korea will scale up its “Korean New Deal” stimulus package by making additional investments worth 60 trillion won ($52.2 billion) to nurture human talents for future industries, and improve ill-functioning employment and the social safety net, the government said Wednesday. Marking the first anniversary of the launch of the Korean New Deal initiative, President Moon Jae-in unveiled an upgraded version focusing on responses to deepening social inequality and economic polarization amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. The newly added pillar of the initiative called the Human New Deal will complete the existing campaign that consists of the two key agendas the Digital New Deal and the Green New Deal, which center on digitalization, sustainable development and balanced regional development.

COVID-19 pandemic spinning out of control in Korea

The COVID-19 pandemic appears to be spinning out of control here, with daily cases hitting a new record high of 1,615, Tuesday, up 465 from the previous day and the biggest daily jump since the coronavirus outbreak reached the country in January last year. Critics said the government is to blame for the worsening COVID-19 situation as it misjudged the spread of the highly contagious Delta variant of the coronavirus and announced a hasty decision to ease social distancing rules. They added that this delivered a misleadingly optimistic message to the people despite lingering concerns over a resurgence in infections. The recent spike in new cases has reignited old criticism that the government failed to secure sufficient vaccines on time, and thus was unable to inoculate enough people at the earliest possible date. The Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) reported Wednesday that the country added 1,615 new COVID-19 cases including 1,568 local infections for Tuesday, raising the total caseload to 171,911 amid the ongoing fourth wave of infections driven by virus variants.

 

Former prosecutor general losing luster in presidential race

Former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-youl, who has been a leading presidential hopeful since he resigned from his post in March, has been losing luster in the race in recent weeks. Recent polls of potential presidential candidates showed that Yoon's popularity has been declining, with him losing out to Gyeonggi Province Governor Lee Jae-myung, a leading hopeful of the ruling Democratic Party of Korea (DPK), in a hypothetical two-way race. In a poll of 1,001 adults conducted from Saturday to Monday by pollster Hangil Research, 43.9 percent of respondents said they would vote for Lee in a hypothetical one-on-one competition, while 36 percent said they supported Yoon. In a hypothetical one-on-one competition between Yoon and Rep. Lee Nak-yon, former chairman of the DPK, Yoon received 36.7 percent, ahead of Lee who garnered 31.7 percent.

 

Net zero fallout: Salt farms are disappearing

The government's ambitious but unorganized campaign to achieve net zero by 2050 in order to control greenhouse gas emissions has created unintended consequences. The nation's salt farms are disappearing. Soil erosion is another problem created by the reckless green energy push. Residents in the neighborhood of photovoltaic power stations, or "solar energy farms," installed on mountaintops live in fear of landslides. In the coastal counties of the southwest that were once home to premium salt, solar energy farms are rapidly replacing salt farms. Scenes captured in Hankook Ilbo photos taken on June 8 in Yeonggwang County, located in the northwestern part of South Jeolla Province, show a dramatic shift of the region from salt farms to solar energy farms. Wind turbines were established in the fields, mountains and wetlands, and the coastal areas, which once housed salt farms, are now covered with solar panels.

LG Factory Looted and Burned in South Africa Riots

South African rioters looted and burned a TV factory belonging to Korea's LG Electronics on Monday as political unrest escalated. Rioting began on July 9, when supporters of former President Jacob Zuma took to the streets in protest against a court decision to jail him for corruption. The LG plant in an industrial park in the port city of Durban suffered significant damage after some 90 unidentified people looted it at 1:00 a.m. Monday and another 120 again at 2:00 a.m., according to the Korean Embassy there. They looted electronic goods, equipment and materials. The production facilities and warehouses were set fire in the afternoon, LG said.

 

Kim Jong-un Honors Light-Entertainment Queen

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has rewarded the country's queen of official entertainment, Kim Ok-ju, with the title of "People's Artist." Kim Jong-un seems to have taken a fancy to the celebrated interpreter of such a propaganda classic as "We Call Him Father" who is still only in her 30s. Even her nearest rival, the leader's rumored ex-girlfriend Hyon Song-wol, has not been given the honor, though she has risen from the Pochonbo Electronic Ensemble to his protocol officer. The official Rodong Sinmun on Monday carried a photo of Kim Jong-un with young entertainers who were being honored in a ceremony at the Mansudae Assembly Hall in Pyongyang the previous day. On his right, with an arm draped over his shoulder and flashing her trademark coy smile, sits Kim Ok-ju.

 

Seoul Ranked World's 11th Most Livable City

Seoul has been named the 11th most livable city in the world, according to U.K. lifestyle magazine Monocle. The magazine has published its annual list of "most livable cities" since 2009. This is the first time Seoul has made the top 20. This year's list was published in the magazine's July-August issue. The magazine "surveyed the cities that stayed resilient, invested in livability and made a splash despite setbacks [due to the coronavirus pandemic]." It cited the Korean capital's high quality of life even through the pandemic, while praising the city's affordable and commuter-friendly transport system, as well as its wide variety of entertainment offerings.

Ex-Prime Minister Lee Nak-yon beats Yoon Seok-youl in latest matchup poll

A new poll of presidential hopefuls finds less support for Yoon Seok-youl, former chief prosecutor of South Korea, and more support for Lee Nak-yon, former head of the Democratic Party. This was the first poll that showed Lee ahead of Yoon in a hypothetical matchup. A presidential suitability poll of 1,011 adult voters around the country conducted by WinGKorea Consulting on Friday and Saturday found that Yoon (26.4%) and Gyeonggi Province Governor Lee Jae-myung (25.8%) were neck and neck. The poll, commissioned by Asia Business Daily, had a 95% confidence level with a margin of error of 3 percentage points. Yoon’s support was down 4.3 points from two weeks before, while Lee Jae-myung edged down 0.8 points. But Lee Nak-yon’s support surged 6.9 points from the previous poll to 16.4%.

 

Blue House urges Tokyo not to exploit potential Moon-Suga summit for domestic politics

The South Korean government expressed deep dismay over reporters in the Japanese press citing Japanese government sources commenting on efforts to organize a Japan visit by President Moon Jae-in and a summit with Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga. The plans for Moon’s visit – which Seoul had been favorably considering – now look to be on hold amid the South Korean government’s annoyance with Tokyo for leaking the content of the two sides’ discussions to exploit for domestic political ends. If you look at recent press reports, they give the impression that [Japan] is making political use out of the issues of [Moon] attending the Olympics and improving South Korea-Japan relations, so we’re watching developments closely,” a key Blue House official said Sunday. We’re willing to have a summit, but there would have been something that comes out of holding it,” the official said, adding that the “attitude from Tokyo going forward is going to be key.”

 

Delta variant accounts for 1 in 4 new COVID-19 cases

As South Korea experiences a full-scale fourth wave of COVID-19 infections, the rate of confirmed patients with the Delta variant of the virus — estimated to be 2.4 times more transmissible — has quintupled in the past week to overtake the rate for those infected with the Alpha variant. Noting the low rate of Delta variant infections observed last month, the South Korean government said that its “disease control efforts should ultimately have been managed more forcefully.” The Central Disease Control Headquarters (CDCH) announced Tuesday that genomic testing of 1,071 domestic patients over the week from July 4 to 10 showed 395 of them to be infected with virus variants, giving a detection rate of 36.9%. This means that over three out of every ten confirmed cases domestically involved a variant.

Presidential candidates at Democratic Party criticize Lee Nak-yon

Presidential candidates of the ruling party have criticized former Democratic Party leader Lee Nak-yon who is recently seeing higher approval rates. Such actions come ahead of “Super Sunday“ when the results of the preliminary votes of the electorates are revealed on August 15 to undermine support for Lee. “They just can’t seem to stand my approval rates rising, their patience is just paper thin,“ said Lee, dismissing the attacks. I think he carried out his role as prime minister with great stability, but I would give him a zero to rate his leadership as the party leader,“ said former Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae. She also pointed out that 100,000 voting party members had left the party during his leadership.

 

South Korea to provide lunch boxes for its Olympic athletes

One of the things Korean athletes participating in the Tokyo Olympics care the most is food. The Tokyo Olympics Athletes’ Village uses food ingredients produced in Fukushima, where a nuclear disaster occurred in 2011. Food ingredients from Fukushima include peaches, tomatoes, cucumbers, flatfish, skipjack tuna, rainbow trout, clams, rice, pork, and chicken. The athletes’ village has decided not to state the origin of the ingredients it uses, leaving athletes anxious about the food there.

For this reason, South Korea leased the Henna Hotel, a three-star hotel about a 20-minute drive from the Athletes’ Village, for its athletes.

 

Italy football team wins European Championship

Italy’s football team returned home on Tuesday after winning the European Championship in 53 years. The team was welcomed at Rome Leonardo da Vinci Airport by a banner that said, “Grazie Azzurri.” Captain Giorgio Chiellini and coach Roberto Mancini hoisted the trophy high over their heads and cheered at more than 200 people that had waited for them from early in the morning. The team marched the streets of Rome around the Piazza Venezia on a double-decker. Some players hoisted the trophy and waved at the crowd wearing a crown that symbolized victory. Many Italians came out to the streets despite the pandemic. They sang songs and applauded the football team.

Another Record-breaking 1,615 New Cases of COVID-19: Distancing Levels Raised Outside the Greater Seoul Area

The Central Disease Control Headquarters announced that as of midnight July 14, they have confirmed 1,615 new cases of COVID-19. This is the largest number of cases confirmed in a day since the outbreak first began in South Korea. The latest wave is centered around the Seoul metropolitan area, but the number of cases outside the capital area is also increasing. So local governments outside the greater Seoul area have decided to raise their distancing levels beginning July 15. Among the latest cases, 1,568 were locally transmitted, while 47 were from overseas. A regional analysis of the local cases showed that 75.2% (1,179 cases) were from the Seoul metropolitan area with 633 cases confirmed in Seoul, 453 in Gyeonggi, and 93 in Incheon. In other areas, 62 cases were confirmed in Busan, 52 in Daegu, 15 in Gwangju, 41 in Daejeon, 11 in Ulsan, 6 in Sejong, 15 in Gangwon, 9 in Chungcheongbuk-do, 36 in Chungcheongnam-do, 9 in Jeollabuk-do, 6 in Jeollanam-do, 19 in Gyeongsangbuk-do, 87 in Gyeongsangnam-do, and 21 in Jeju.

 

Lee Jun-seok Changes His Mind due to Opposition from His Party after Agreeing to Hand out Disaster Relief Fund to All Citizens

People Power Party leader Lee Jun-seok and Democratic Party of Korea leader Song Young-gil agreed to a universal disaster relief fund for all citizens with stronger support for small business owners, but the opposition leader practically changed his mind due to opposition from his own party. Lawmakers are criticizing Lee’s communication and leadership skills, leading experts to predict a rocky aftermath. On the night of July 12, Lee explained his agreement with Song on social media and wrote, “We agreed to review the need to expand the disaster relief fund to all citizens from the current bottom 80% in terms of income, after considering the situation in disease control, if there are any financial resources remaining.” This led to attacks that he practically took back his agreement on a universal pay out. Earlier this day, Lee announced that he had agreed to a universal disaster relief fund after a dinner meeting with Song.

 

Special Prosecutor Park Young-soo, “I Received King Crabs and Gwamaegi from Kim, a Marine Products Dealer, on 3-4 Occasions”

Park Young-soo (69, 10th class of the Judicial Research and Training Institute), the special prosecutor who led the team that investigated Park Geun-hye and Choi Seo-won (formerly Choi Soon-sil) and their abuse of state authority admitted that he received gifts of king crabs, etc. on 3-4 occasions from Kim (43, arrested), a businessman selling marine products suspected of bribing prosecutors, police officers, journalists, and politicians. Park released a statement on July 5 and said, “I received king crabs and gwamaegi as gifts on 3-4 occasions during the holidays, but I did not think the gifts were expensive or problematic.” He further said, “It was my mistake for being careless and simply thinking of him as an acquaintance of Song, who is well trusted by those who know him.

Korea’s job gains lose steam in June, likely further after toughened mitigation rules

South Korea added nearly 600,000 jobs in June, expanding for a fourth straight month in line with economic recovery, although the pickup pace slowed from a month ago amid simmering summer wave of Covid-19 that would rattle the job market in coming months. According to data released by Statistics Korea on Wednesday, the number of employed totaled 27.64 million in June, up 582,000 from a year ago. The number of payroll has been on the increase after a yearlong contraction since March last year. Jobs expanded for four months in a row on rebound in exports, economic recovery, and base effect.
