Korean Air heiress returns home amid probe into violent tantrum

Ms. Cho Hyun-min, the controversial second daughter of chairman of Korean Air

The second daughter of the chairman of Korean Air Lines Co. returned home from an overseas trip on Sunday amid controversy over claims that she hurled water into the face of an advertising firm employee last month.

Police launched a preliminary inquiry into Cho Hyun-min, a senior executive at the country's largest air carrier, on Friday after media reports that she yelled and threw water at a manager of the company's advertising agency during a business meeting in her office in Seoul on March 16.

Cho is the sister of Cho Hyun-ah, who was jailed in 2014 in the so-called nut rage scandal, in which she ordered her flight back to an airport gate in New York because she was upset about the way her nuts were served on the plane.

The 35-year-old, who handled the company’s advertising projects, came under fire after an audio file was released earlier this month in which a woman, presumed to be Cho, is heard yelling at an executive-level official.

Prime Minister Lee Nak-yon says the government will learn from the deadly sinking of the Sewol ferry to create a safer country. Lee made the vow on Monday in a speech at the government’s joint memorial ceremony for the victims of the country's biggest maritime disaster that took place exactly four years ago. The prime minister said the Moon Jae-in administration will always remember the tragic incident and find the truth behind what went wrong. Lee said the incident has exposed “embarrassing elements” of the nation, including how society as a whole is insensitive to the lives of people and safety. He said it taught that an irresponsible and incapable government can cause immense misfortune to the people and that distortion of truth can be a cruel crime.

Some 5,000 Koreans gathered in the city of Ansan for the government’s first memorial remembering victims of the 2014 Sewol ferry disaster on Monday, which marked the fourth anniversary of one of the country’s worst maritime disasters that claimed the lives of more than 300 people. Ansan in Gyeonggi Province is where the vast majority of the victims -- high school students who were on a school trip to Jeju Island -- lived. Most of them were second-year students at Danwon High School located in the city. “Many say time will make things better, but I feel like such sayings are all lies. (Four years have gone by and) I‘m still not okay. I’m still not ready to let you go,” Nam Seo-hyeon, an older sister of the late Nam Ji-hyeon, one of the many Danwon High School students who lost their lives in the disaster, said in her open letter to her sister.

China releases 30 North Korean defectors: report

China has released 30 North Korean defectors who some feared would be forcibly sent back to the reclusive state, Radio Free Asia reported Tuesday, citing a defector who has taken asylum in South Korea.The defector told the U.S.-funded broadcaster the previous day that the Chinese government freed them as it is concerned about criticism in the international community that Beijing deports North Korean defectors back to their home country, where they face severe punishment.He alleged that Chinese authorities last month caught many defectors who had long stayed in China but did not have an identification card when strengthening security and inspection around a March 25-28 visit to China by North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

S. Korea qualify for 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup

South Korea have qualified for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup after they finished fifth at a continental football tournament. South Korea, 16th in the FIFA rankings, routed 72th-ranked Philippines 5-0 in the fifth-place match at the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Women's Asian Cup at Amman International Stadium, Amman, Jordan, on Monday (local time). The AFC Women's Asian Cup, which features eight teams, doubles as the final Asian qualifier for the 2019 Women's World Cup in France, with the top five nations qualifying for the showpiece event in women's football.The top two teams from the two groups that reached the semifinals were awarded the World Cup spots, while the third-place teams from each group had to square off in the fifth-place match to earn the last ticket to the World Cup.

Foreigners with voting rights being ignored

In 2005, South Korea gave foreign permanent residents with F-5 visas the right to vote in local elections. The upcoming June 13 local elections will be the fourth time for these people to exercise their voting rights since the law revision.However, the government and the National Election Commission (NEC) are still failing to provide candidate information in other languages, virtually violating the voting rights of foreigners who cannot speak Korean, multiple sources claimed Monday.Amid the growing influx of foreign workers and permanent residents in Korea, their rights have been expanded in recent years. However, they still have limited access to information about elections. Currently, Korean language proficiency is needed to get information about candidates and go through the voting process.

Park Abandons Appeal

Ex-President Park Geun-hye has given up on appealing against her 24-year jail sentence for corruption and abuse of power, the Seoul Central District Court said Monday.Park missed the deadline for her appeal last Friday and submitted a waiver to the court on Monday to override an appeal filed by her younger sister last week.Prosecutors have launched their own appeal because they consider the sentence too lenient.

Park's decision means she will probably boycott the proceedings just as she boycotted the last few months of her trial and it will go ahead without her.

Ex-N.Korean Diplomat Says Pyongyang Will Drag Talks out

The former No. 2 man in the North Korean Embassy in London and now a vocal critic of the regime, has predicted Pyongyang will drag out talks about its nuclear program as long as possible while extracting concessions.Thae Yong-ho was quoted on Monday as saying that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un "will drag on for two to three years" without dismantling his nuclear weapons "while waiting for the U.S. president to be replaced."

GM in Tense Standoff with Korean Labor Union

GM is locked in a tense standoff with its Korean labor union as an April 20 negotiating deadline set by the U.S. automaker approaches. If the two sides fail to narrow differences over wages cuts and other cost-saving measures, GM Korea faces court receivership, which could cost more than 150,000 assembly line workers their jobs.GM headquarters in Detroit has issued an ultimatum warning unionized workers that they have until this Friday to agree to cost-cutting measures or risk bankruptcy for GM Korea. GM withdrew a request for a short-term loan to finance operations and told state-run Korea Development Bank, GM Korea's second-largest shareholder, to show up for negotiations.

White House remains committed to US-North Korea summit

The White House announced that while a place and date for a planned summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has not been decided, it remains unchanged in its plans to hold the meeting in “May or early June.”A senior US government official declined to give details when asked about the meeting’s place and schedule during an Apr. 13 briefing on a US-Japan summit scheduled for Apr. 17–18, but said Trump’s public remarks about the summit being held in May or early June were still valid. With a decision on the summit’s venue required for security and protocol issues to be discussed, observers are predicting Pyongyang and Washington will not be able to put the matter off much longer.The official also responded to reports that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe plans to request discussions during the North Korea-US summit on eliminating missiles within firing range of Japan, stressing that Trump was “always keeping careful consideration of the interests of our allies and our alliances as well as the interests of securing the American people here at home.”

Blue House entering final stages of preparation for inter-Korean summit

Twelve days before the inter-Korean summit on Apr. 27, the Blue House has entered the final stages of coordination. Amid a flurry of working-level and high-level meetings about communications, protocol, security and reporting, the Blue House is working to set the mood by unveiling a platform for communicating with the public about the summit.Over this weekend, President Moon Jae-in cleared his schedule and remained in his residence as he continued planning for the summit. He is reportedly focusing on a way to achieve the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and a permanent peace treaty, which South Korea regards as the main agenda items, and on a strategy facilitate results in the subsequent North Korea-US summit.

North Korea increases diplomatic efforts with China, Russia, and Mongolia ahead of spring summits

Pyongyang appears to be increasing its diplomatic efforts with friendly nations ahead of its summit with Seoul and Washington. Analysts see North Korea as attempting to firm up its own position and expand the playing field for dialogue by establishing even closer ties with friendly nations such as China, Russia, and Mongolia.The Rodong Sinmun, the newspaper of the Workers’ Party of Korea, printed a front-page article and photograph on Apr. 15 on leader Kim Jong-un’s meeting the day before with Chinese Communist Party International Liaison Department director Song Tao, who was visiting North Korea with a group of Chinese artists. According to the piece, Kim “expressed satisfaction with the recent development of relations between the two parties and countries [North Korea and China], announcing plans to continue strengthening party relations with exchanges of high-level delegations between the two sides and actively promoting cooperation and associations among various areas and fields to actively carry on and develop the traditional friendly relations between North Korea and China to a new stage of development to meet new historical demands.”

Kim resigns from FSS post after NEC ruling

Kim Ki-sik, the head of Korea’s financial watchdog, resigned after the National Election Commission (NEC) determined on Monday that he violated laws related to political contributions by rushing to donate his money to a think tank months before his term ended as a lawmaker.The Blue House said it would accept his resignation.After a meeting that lasted over four hours, the NEC concluded that Kim, who took over as governor of the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) at the start of this month, had given about 50 million won ($46,500) from his political coffers to a think tank called “A Better Future” that comprised first- and second-term lawmakers in the Democratic Party, including himself.

Opinion manipulation linked to DP lawmaker

Police are looking into whether expelled members of the ruling Democratic Party ran a systematic online opinion manipulation campaign to tilt the race in favor of Moon Jae-in’s candidacy in last year’s presidential election, a probe that could prove to be embarrassing for the Blue House and ruling party ahead of the June 13 local elections.

Household debt risks are new focus of government

With household debt in Korea growing at a slower pace, the government is now trying to address the related risks. Measures to accomplish this include reducing loans made by a state-run provider and increasing the share of fixed-rate loans, which are considered less vulnerable to rising interest rates than variable-rate loans.In a press briefing Monday, Choi Jong-ku, chairman of the Financial Services Commission (FSC), the country’s financial regulator, said the government will reduce the amount of mortgages known as conforming loans by as much as 1 trillion won ($930.7 million).A conforming loan refers to the mortgage provided by the Korea Housing-Finance Corporation, a state-run housing loan provider. It is a long-term, fixed-rate mortgage and local banks issue the loans on behalf of the Korea Housing-Finance Corporation.
