Chairman Cho stresses client-oriented technological competitiveness, responsible management
In his New Year’s speech, Chairman Cho, who was appointed Hyosung CEO last year, delivered three key messages to his employees for 2018.First, he emphasized focus on all management activities for the company to be client and market oriented. The number of competitors is rapidly surging, he said, and the most important action for survival is thus to reflect the voices of clients and markets in products. This means refraining from self-flattery and thinking the company knows all there is to know about the market. “Hyosung needs to meet and engage more clients than our competitors and quickly respond to market changes to remain one step ahead,” he said.

Global rate jumps feared to upend asset market
A recent surge in global interest rates is feared to have a negative impact on the asset market amid growing risk-taking by investors, analysts said Thursday.

According to market sources, the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasury notes came to 2.71 percent Tuesday, up 31.5 basis points from the end of last year. One basis point equals 0.01 percentage point. The benchmark return on South Korea's soared to a three-year high of 2.784 percent Tuesday, though it edged down Wednesday. Lee Mi-seon, a senior researcher at Hana Financial Investment Co., said the asset market will face a tipping point should the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasurys exceed 3 percent.

Trump’s address a ‘serious message’ to North Korea: experts
US President Donald Trump reiterated his administration’s “campaign of maximum pressure” on North Korea, casting doubt on the prospects of further talks after the PyeongChang Olympics. On matters regarding North Korea, Trump used his first State of the Union address Wednesday to highlight the growing threat posed by North Korea and highlighted the brutal nature of the regime. “No regime has oppressed its own citizens more totally or brutally than the cruel dictatorship of North Korea,” Trump said. “North Korea’s reckless pursuit of nuclear missiles could very soon threaten our homeland. We are waging a campaign of maximum pressure to prevent that from ever happening.”
Female prosecutor calls for sexual harassment prevention
The female prosecutor who spoke up about sexual harassment within the prosecution has asked the public to shift its attention and efforts to measures to resolve the pervasive mistreatment of women in society, rather than focusing on her experience.“Please look at why the organization (the prosecution) did not listen to a lone victim, instead of what happened to me at the funeral,” Seo Ji-hyun, a public prosecutor at the Tongyeong branch of the Changwon District Prosecutors’ Office, said in a statement released by her lawyer Wednesday. Seo earlier revealed that a sexual harassment incident had occurred at a funeral in 2010. “As a prosecutor of South Korea, I knew more than any others about the law. But I was not protected by the system -- or could not ask for protection, to be exact,” she said, referring to the difficulties victims face in opening up about their experiences.

Olympic spectators warned of record-low cold
February's PyeongChang Winter Olympics are expected to be the coldest Games in decades, according to an American news magazine on Tuesday.Since the 1994 Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway, the PyeongChang Olympics, starting Feb. 9, "may set a record for being the coldest," TIME said. The weekly magazine predicted temperatures in the Gangwon Province city will "hover around 7 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 13.8 degrees Celsius) with the wind chill."The figure slightly differs from the South Korean climate watchdog. The Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) told The Korea Times temperatures around PyeongChang and Daegwallyeong, some 60 kilometers apart within the province, will drop as low as minus 9 degrees Celsius on the Olympics' opening day, and minus 11 the following day.

Trump Rejects Victor Cha as Ambassador to Korea
The White House has decided at the last minute not to nominate prominent Korea-policy wonk Victor Cha as ambassador to South Korea. Cha, who heads the Korea program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, apparently fell foul of U.S. President Donald Trump by opposing his "bloody nose" strategy of launching a limited strike against North Korea.
On Tuesday, the White House confirmed that it is no longer considering Cha and is looking for another candidate.
Is N.Korea Playing Games with Winter Olympics?
There is growing concern that North Korea is playing games with South Korea over its participation in the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, apparently under the impression that the South Korean government desperately needs the publicity coup.Kim Jae-chun at Sogang University said, "North Korea thinks it's doing us a big favor by sending athletes to the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics and thinks the government is indebted by the gesture." In a telegram Monday night, North Korea said that it had "no choice but to cancel" a joint cultural performance at its Mt. Kumgang resort since the South Korean media "continues to propagate popular opinion that insults the sincere measures we are undertaking in relation to the Pyeongchang Olympics."
Samsung Loses Top Spot in Indian Smartphone Market
Samsung has ceded the top spot in India's burgeoning smartphone market to China's Xiaomi. Samsung ruled supreme in India's smartphone market, scaled at more than 100 million phones a year, since 2011. But Chinese rivals aggressively expanded their presence in India, Southeast Asia and Europe and are now posing a direct threat. Even as Samsung was battling it out with Apple in the premium market, Chinese rivals expanded their share of the affordable market, trapping Samsung awkwardly somewhere in between.

NK Breaks Another Promise, But It Will Be Difficult to Forfeit the PyeongChang Olympics
A variable has emerged in inter-Korean relations, which had shifted toward dialogue after North Korea's decision to participate in the PyeongChang Winter Olympics. North Korea was not comfortable with the coverage by the South Korean press and on January 29 notified South Korea that it would cancel the North and South Korea joint cultural event at Mount Kumgang scheduled for February 4. This is not expected to affect North Korea's participation at the PyeongChang Olympics. But this is already the second time that North Korea has broken its promise, so the embers of conflict remain. The Ministry of Unification announced that they sent a letter in the name of the minister of unification, Cho Myoung-gyon to North Korea's Ri Son-kwon, chairman of the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland and expressed their regrets. A unification ministry official said, "We said that since we have taken the first step toward improving inter-Korean relations after much difficulties, North and South Korea should fulfill the items agreed upon based on mutual respect and understanding."
MB Expected to Stand before Prosecutors After the PyeongChang Olympics
The Prosecution Service's investigation of former President Lee Myung-bak (77, illustration) is accelerating as it narrows in on the former president from all sides, and the questioning of Lee is gradually coming into sight. Given the progress made in the investigation and the PyeongChang Winter Olympic Games, it is likely for former President Lee to stand before the "photo line" at the Prosecutors' Office late next month or in early March. According to the law enforcement authorities on January 28, prosecutors are considering calling in former President Lee for questioning after the PyeongChang Olympics given the progress made in the investigation of the special activity expenses of the National Intelligence Service (NIS) and the investigation of DAS, a automobile parts maker.
