What’s ticking in Korea today? Here is a quick roundup of important news stories from the major Korean news media today:
The Korea Post media (www.koreapost.com) in English, (www.koreapost.co.kr) in Korean.
KBS (http://world.kbs.co.kr/english/news/)
Military Action against N. Korea Not Preferred Option
"Military action would certainly be an option. Is it inevitable? Nothing is inevitable. It would be great if something else could be worked out. We would have to look at all of the details, all of the facts. But, we've had presidents for 25 years, now they have been talking, talking talking and the day after an agreement is reached, new work begins in North Korea, continuation on nuclear. So, I would prefer not going the route of the military, its something certainly that could happen. Our military has never been stronger." After speaking to Chinese President Xi Jinping on the phone on Wednesday, Trump reaffirmed the position that he would use other means of pressure against Pyongyang rather than military actions.
All 6 THAAD Launchers Installed in S. Korea
The U.S. Forces Korea deployed the four missile launch vehicles to the base Thursday morning. Some 400 local residents and activists clashed with police as they tried to clear the way for the delivery to the site in Seongju, North Gyeongsang Province. Dozens were injured. While confirming the deployment, South Korean Defense Ministry Spokesman Moon Sang-gyun stressed that the move is only tentative.
Far East Development Can Solve N. Korean Issue
President Moon Jae-in says cooperation among Northeast Asian countries in developing Russia's Far East will be one of the means to fundamentally resolve the North Korean nuclear issue. Moon made the remark in a keynote speech at the third annual Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok on Thursday. The president said successful economic development for the region will lead the North to realize joining the regional cooperation is in its interest. Moon stressed North Korea is also an issue that should be resolved for Russia to develop its Far Eastern region.

Yonhap (http://english.yonhapnews.co.kr)
You will not face N.K. threat alone
U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis assured South Korea Thursday that it will not face the North Korean nuclear threat alone. Mattis was responding to Yonhap News Agency's question about reports the North could test another long-range missile on the anniversary of its founding day on Saturday. "We, in this department, we assume everyday," he told Yonhap at the swearing-in ceremony at the Pentagon for Navy Secretary Richard Spencer. "I'll tell you this -- we are tied tightly together." Recalling his phone conversation with South Korean Defense Minister Song Young-moo and the phone call between the two countries' leaders earlier this week, he added, "We're together. You will not face this alone."
N. Korea's H-bomb claim appears true: senior U.S. official
The United States has tentatively concluded that North Korea detonated an H-bomb over the weekend, as the regime has claimed, a senior U.S. administration official said Thursday. The remark underscores the gravity of the threat posed by North Korea's nuclear and ballistic missile programs, as an H-bomb is far more destructive than the atomic weapons the regime has tested in the past. "We're still assessing that test," the official told reporters in a teleconference, referring to the detonation on Sunday. "I can say that so far there's nothing inconsistent with the North Korean claim that this was a hydrogen bomb, but we don't have a conclusive view on it yet," he said on the condition of anonymity.
U.S. lawmakers urge Trump to keep S. Korea trade agreement
A bipartisan group of American lawmakers Thursday urged President Donald Trump to keep the U.S. free trade agreement with South Korea amid a deepening security crisis on the Korean Peninsula.
In a letter addressed to the president, four co-chairs of the Congressional Caucus on Korea underscored the importance of a tight alliance in the wake of North Korean provocations, including its sixth nuclear test Sunday.

The Korea Herald (http://www.koreaherald.com)
Seoul, Tokyo to cooperate in persuading China, Russia to cut NK’s oil supply
South Korean President Moon Jae-in continued seeking ways to cut North Korea’s oil supply on Thursday, in the face of resistance from Pyongyang’s biggest suppliers: China and Russia. In his meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, Moon received confirmation that Tokyo supports his plans. “The two leaders agreed that sanctions and pressure must be strengthened as much as possible, and to cooperate in facilitating (the adoption of) tougher UN Security Council sanctions including cutting crude oil supply,” Seoul’s chief presidential press officer Yoon Young-chan said.
Seoul closely monitoring NK military activity ahead of anniversary
South Korean authorities are closely watching for any military provocations from North Korea as the anniversary of the regime’s foundation approaches, the Unification Ministry said Thursday. “We are closely monitoring for any additional signs of provocations from North Korea (around Saturday),” a Unification Ministry official told The Korea Herald. Last year, Pyongyang launched missiles days before the Sept. 9 foundation day and conducted its fifth nuclear test on the day.
McDonald's Korea chief expresses regret over burger panic
The chief executive of McDonald’s Korea on Thursday sent out an official statement expressing regret over panic caused by suspected links between health dangers and McDonald’s burgers. “I deeply regret that customers who visited our restaurants may have experienced any related illness,” McDonald’s Korea Managing Director Melanie Joh said in the statement. This is the first time that the company’s leadership has officially expressed regret over the issue.

Fear grips Korean 'dreamers' in US
Tens of thousands of Koreans in the U.S. are in fear and uncertainty as they face an impending shutdown of a controversial immigration program that protected young people illegally brought to America by their parents from deportation. President Donald Trump announced earlier this week that his administration will rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, a policy shielding undocumented immigrants that was instituted via an executive order by former U.S. President Barack Obama in 2012.
Moon, Abe agree to push for oil supply cut to North Korea
President Moon Jae-in and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe have agreed to seek tougher U.N. Security Council (UNSC) sanctions on North Korea over its nuclear and missile programs, including cutting off its oil supply, Cheong Wa Dae said Thursday. A bumpy road, however, is ahead for their joint efforts as President Vladimir Putin of Russia, one of five permanent UNSC members, expressed his clear opposition to additional sanctions in a summit with Moon a day earlier. Moon and Abe had their second bilateral talks on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, Russia. The summit took place four days after Pyongyang exploded what it claimed was a hydrogen bomb in its sixth nuclear test.
Can US attack N. Korea without Seoul's consent?
The likelihood of a military confrontation on the Korean Peninsula is growing higher than ever in the wake of North Korea's sixth nuclear test, Sunday. Following the North's latest provocation, U.S. President Donald Trump and his administration have warned that any threat to the U.S. , its territories including Guam or its allies "will be met with a massive military response." Amid escalating tension between Washington and Pyongyang, questions are arising over whether the U.S. can take military action without South Korea's consent if the North launches missiles toward U.S. territories, particularly Guam.

DongA Ilbo (http://english.donga.com)
U.S. pushes for new UN resolution to pressure N. Korea
The U.S. is pushing to put an unprecedented level of pressure to Pyongyang by adopting a new UN Security Council Resolution, which will completely contain and stifle North Korea in a short span of time. The new UN Resolution will enable its member states to use military power when clamping down on North Korean ships in international waters. For the first time ever, Kim Jong Un, the First Chairman of the Workers’ Party of North Korea, has been listed as sanction target, and all other options to pressure the North have been included in the new Resolution such as a ban of the exports of crude oil and petroleum to North Korea and a blanket ban of overseas transportation of workers.
Moon, Abe agree to impose ‘strongest’ sanctions on N. Korea
South Korean President Moon Jae-in and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Thursday reaffirmed their commitment to the "strongest" sanctions against North Korea.
The leaders of the two neighboring countries reached the agreement at a summit on the sidelines of the regional economic summit, Eastern Economic Forum, in Vladivostok, Russia, Moon's chief press secretary Yoon Young-chan said. "The leaders agreed to work together in pushing for a fresh U.N. Security Council resolution that will include the most powerful sanctions so far, such as cutting off oil supplies," Yoon told a press briefing.
Hyundai to supply its first electric bus 'Elec City' to Busan
Hyundai Motor announced on Thursday that it has signed a contract to supply electric buses to companies in Busan with its first electric bus Elec City. This marks the first time that the local auto giant has signed a contract on the Elec City for commercial use. The Elec City was first unveiled in May at Hyundai Truck & Bus Mega Fair, displaying a full range of commercial vehicles. It took the motor company seven years to complete the development of the Elec City. Hyundai Motor's first electric bus has earned a satisfying rating on the driving distance per single charge, a key to successful commercialization of electric vehicles. Equipped with the 256 kWh high-capacity lithium-ion polymer battery, the Elec City can run 309 kilometers per charge (72 minutes) when driven at a regular speed, and it can go as far as 170 kilometers with a 30-minute quick charge.

China Lodges Protest Over Full THAAD Deployment
China on Thursday lodged a formal protest over the full deployment of a THAAD anti-missile battery from the U.S. in South Korea. The Chinese Foreign Ministry summoned Korea's Ambassador to China Kim Jang-soo and "demanded South Korea and the United States stop relevant deployment procedures immediately," a ministry spokesman told reporters. Chinese state media led with coverage of local protests against the deployment of four additional THAAD launchers in Seongju, South Gyeongsang Province.
Investors Flee to Safe Havens as N.Korea Tensions Flare
Investors are scuttling to safe-haven assets like gold as tensions flare on the Korean Peninsula after North Korea's sixth nuclear test. Gold prices have soared to record levels since early this year, while the Japanese yen and Swiss franc are also soaring in value. Funds are quickly exiting the stock market and other volatile investments. Foreigners pulled W1.87 trillion out of the domestic stock market over the past month (US$1=W1,136). "A growing number of investors are tired of the extended market volatility," said Park Sang-woo at Yuanta Securities. International gold prices have surged 16.5 percent so far this year. Domestic gold retail prices reached W196,000 per 3.75 g. Korea imports most of its gold.
Chaebol Heirs Still Helicoptered into Top Jobs
It has taken the offspring of Korea's top tycoons just four years to advance to an executive position in the companies their families founded, whether they are qualified or not and regardless whether the conglomerate is publicly traded. Industry tracker CEO Score surveyed the promotions of 185 members of chaebol families who are currently executives in the "family company." The average time it took them to become an executive was just 4.2 years, joining the company at 29.7 and becoming an executive at 33.9.

HanKyoReh Shinmun (http://english.hani.co.kr)
Moon administration follows Park’s legal playbook in deploying THAAD launchers
The South Korean government’s decision on Sept. 6 to go ahead with the additional deployment of four THAAD launchers means the antimissile system’s deployment with US Force is effectively set in stone.
While the additional deployment appears motivated by a worsening security environment with North Korea’s series of ballistic missile launches and sixth nuclear test, critics also say it means the Moon Jae-in administration has compromised the same procedural legitimacy it has so consistently stressed. Since taking office in May, the Moon administration has faced pressure at home and overseas to deploy the THAAD system. In South Korea, conservatives in particular have led the call for a fast deployment, while the US has turned the screws by stressing that the deployment decision was a “official agreement” between the two sides.
Government announces that temporary deployment of four additional THAAD launchers is complete
The Defense Ministry issued a public statement to announce that it had completed the placement of four additional THAAD launchers on Sept. 7 at the USFK military base in Seongju County.
The Ministry stated that, “The government, in response to the various missile and nuclear tests on the part of North Korea, and in order to safeguard the lives and security of our people from the North’s intensifying threats, has today completed the temporary placement of four additional THAAD launchers in accordance with the agreement with USFK.” The day before, the Defense Ministry had announced that the equipment for the remaining four launchers would be moved, and USFK personnel transported the launchers overland from Osan Air Force Base to the base at Seongju early in the morning of Sept. 7.
Putin rebuffs Moon’s call for stronger sanctions on North Korea
Moon Jae-in and Vladimir Putin reaffirmed their refusal to recognize North Korea’s nuclear status at their Sept. 6 summit, but remained deeply at odds over a future response and solution. While the South Korean president demanded Russia’s cooperation on “powerful sanctions against North Korea, including a halt to its crude oil supplies,” his Russian counterpart dismissed the idea, arguing that the North Korean nuclear issue will “not be solved by sanctions and pressure alone.” Coming at a time when the US is committed to holding a UN Security Council vote on Sept. 11 for a new sanctions resolution, Russia’s unyielding stance suggests that a high-intensity resolution including a crude oil supply halt is unlikely to be passed in the near future.

JoongAng Ilbo (http://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/)
Thaad battery fully deployed in Seongju
The Ministry of National Defense said Thursday that four launchers for the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (Thaad) antimissile system were moved to a U.S. base in Seongju County, North Gyeongsang, completing the deployment of the American antimissile battery. The ministry made an official announcement that the four launchers were temporarily installed based on an agreement with the United States to use the system to protect the people from threats by North Korea. Thursday’s installation of the four launchers completed the deployment of a Thaad battery. A Thaad unit typically consists of six launchers, 48 interceptors, a fire control and communications unit and radar. Two launchers were installed in Seongju in April.
Moon and Abe agree to a truce on historical issues friction
Leaders of South Korea and Japan agreed Thursday to put aside bad blood over historical issues to focus on a united response to the North Korea nuclear and missile crisis. President Moon Jae-in met with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in a bilateral summit on the sidelines of a regional economic forum in Vladivostok, Russia. They talked for 50 minutes on pending issues, including the Kim Jong-un regime’s latest nuclear test and a series of missile launches. “Amid escalating tensions in Northeast Asia due to the North’s nuclear and missile provocations, the two leaders agreed to stably manage the history issue between the two countries and strengthen future-oriented and substantial exchanges and cooperation,” Yoon Young-chan, senior presidential press secretary, said.
McDonald’s expresses its ‘regret’ for illness cases
McDonald’s Korea expressed regret Thursday over a string of allegations that its products made customers ill, including a five-year old girl whose heart stopped for four minutes until she was revived by CPR.
The multinational food chain’s official notice of regret came five days after it temporarily stopped sales of bulgogi burgers nationwide after it was reported that eight people, seven of them young children, showed signs of food poisoning like vomiting and diarrhea after eating the Koreanized burger at a Jeonju branch in North Jeolla on Aug. 25.

Turbulent Career Due to Obscenity Controversy: Farewell to “Kwangma”
Ma Kwang-soo (66), former professor of Korean literature at Yonsei University who became a household name for his novel, Happy Sara, was found dead on September 5. According to the Seoul Yongsan Police Station, at around 1:35 p.m. this day, a relative filed a report to the police after discovering his body at his residence, an apartment in Dongbuichon-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul. A police officer said, "We discovered a suicide note on site, which said that he would leave his possessions to the family member who discovered his body and that he would also put the care of his dead body in that person hands." The police said that the suicide note was written last year. Given that Ma died after being hung, the police believe it likely for Ma to have taken his own life.
Secures Ability to Launch Independent Attack on NK Underground Bunkers
President Moon Jae-in and U.S. President Donald Trump agreed to remove weight restrictions of warheads in the ROK-US missile guidelines on September 4, which will allow significant improvements in the independent missile capability of the South Korean military. This is the first time in 38 years that the two countries have reached such an agreement since the guidelines were established in 1979.
Environmental Ministry Opens Door to Additional THAAD Missiles
The Ministry of Environment gave a conditional approval to a small-scale environmental impact assessment of the base in Seongju, Gyeongsangbuk-do, where the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missiles of the US Forces Korea will be placed. Although the ministry added conditions, such as a regular survey of electromagnetic waves, considering the nervous residents, the ministry concluded that there would hardly be any assessment of the impact on people and the surrounding environment. Thus it appears the four remaining THAAD missile launchers will soon enter the base.

Moon-Putin Meeting...Differ in How to Respond to North's Nuclear
Moon Jae-in South Korean President and Vladimir Putin Russian President met on September 6 in Far Eastern Federal University in Russia's Vladivostok to discuss issues including the current North Korea nuclear crisis and economic cooperation between Russia and South Korea for 2 hours and 40 minutes. The two leaders agreed that the North's nuclear tests are "unacceptable" but differed in how it must be handled including cutting crude oil supplies to North Korea. President Moon said, "When the North refused to take part in the first six-party talks, China cut off its crude supplies and that was when the North agreed to participate," explaining that oil supply cut may be an effective way to pressure the reclusive regime.
Mixed Fortunes of LG Group and Hyundai Group in Terms of Market Value
The market value of LG Group companies has moved up to the third place after overtaking that of Hyundai Motor Group following Samsung and SK. Hyundai Motor lost out to LG after giving away the second place to SK Group in June this year. According to the Korea Exchange on September 6, the aggregate market capitalization (including that of preferred stocks) of LG Group's 16 publicly listed affiliates was 96,883 billion won as of the end of September 5. On the same day, the value of 16 publicly listed Hyundai companies was 95,058 billion won.
Kumho Tire Won't Be Sold to China's Double Star
The negotiation to sell off Kumho Tire to China's Double Star Tire broke apart. The creditors including Korea Development Bank held a shareholders meeting and decided not to accept a request by Double Star to lower the price. A Korea Development Bank official explained, "As Double Star made demands we can't accept including an additional 10-percent discount from the original price of 800 billion won, we had to say no to the offer." In July this year, the Chinese tire maker began making demands for lower prices for Kumho Tire based on the fact that the Korean tire manufacturer saw its financial results worsen recently. Double Star asked for a discount of 80 billion won from the price of 800 billion won after successfully cutting the price by 155 billion won from 955 billion won.

US troops complete missile shield deployment to intercept N. Korean ICBMs
US troops brought four more launchers of missile interceptors and related equipment into a heavily guarded base in an operation backed by thousands of South Korean riot police who cleared roads occupied by protesters. The operation was completed at around 8:30 am (2330 GMT) when US military trucks with their cargo shielded in black rolled through human barricades set up by riot police who used their bodies and plastic shields to push away protesters. TV footages showed angry protesters hurling plastic water bottles and other objectives from behind police barricades at a strategic point outside a townhall near the base used for a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system in Seongju some 200 kilometers (124 miles) southeast of Seoul.
Mass murder cult follower Leslie Van Houten granted parole
Charles Manson began a cult in California known as the Manson Family with his followers in the late 60s. Manson and his followers went on the killing sprees for a month from July 1969 at four different locations and committed nine murders. Manson was found guilty of seven counts of murders in December 1971. His followers including Leslie Van Houten were convicted in the same year. Van Houten was 19 years old when she partook in violently murdering Leno and Rosemary LaBianca. Van Houten was originally not chosen by Manson to partake in the murder but she asked for permission to go and participate. She stabbed Rosemary LaBianca in her lower back and buttocks over a dozen times. She later claimed that the stab wounds were inflicted post-mortem.

E-Mart to sell China stores to Thailand’s CP Group
E-Mart Inc., a discount store unit of South Korea’s retail conglomerate Shinsegae Group, is expected to sell its stores in China to Thailand’s Charoen Pokphand (CP) Group, a move that will lead the Korean discount chain store to completely pull out of China 20 years after it first entered the market. An unnamed official familiar with the deal said on Thursday that E-Mart is in the final stage of negotiations with CP Group, a major agro-industrial and food conglomerate in Thailand, to sell its Chinese operations to the Thai company, and an official announcement will be made next week after details are tuned. According to multiple sources from the retail industry, E-Mart is expected to sell five out of the six stores that are still in operation in China to CP Group.]
GM Korea CEO reaffirms not to exit from Korea, but focus on building the operation
The new chief of General Motors Co. (GM) stressed on the pivotal role of GM Korea in the American carmaker’s global network and operation to quench speculation about the company pulling out of the Korean market. “I have heard the many rumors of media regarding our operation in GM Korea,” Kaher Kazem, CEO of GM Korea, said at a media conference held at the GM Design Center in Incheon on Wednesday.
“Our team and I are committed to turning around our Korean operations, working with all stakeholders and our partners to improve our competitiveness and profitability.”
