Korea's Escalator Etiquette Debate | South Korea News

Thursday, September 10, 2026 • Duration 02:10

In Korea, the long-standing escalator etiquette of standing right, walking left is under official review after a government forum sparked debate over safety vs. speed. A near-even split in public opinion shows people still value the “ppalli-ppalli” rush culture, but experts argue social norms—not rules—drive behavior. Psychologists explain that people follow the crowd to avoid being seen as rude, even when laws don’t enforce it. The Ministry is now exploring how to shift mindsets toward safer, more considerate escalator use without forcing change, aiming to balance efficiency with collective responsibility.

Korea Eyes Westinghouse Nuclear Deal | South Korea News

Thursday, September 10, 2026 • Duration 02:01

South Korea is eyeing a colossal $120 billion deal with Westinghouse to build up to eight nuclear reactors in the U.S., potentially unlocking global export potential—but at steep financial risk. The plan blends Westinghouse’s tech with Korea’s APR1400 designs, possibly via joint ventures or even a Korean stake in Westinghouse, which could resolve past IP disputes. Yet experts warn that buying into Westinghouse may not fix all legal hurdles, recalling Toshiba’s disastrous acquisition. With U.S. presidential involvement and lawmakers soon to be briefed, this high-stakes negotiation could reshape global nuclear energy—and might just sink Korea if it missteps.

Lee Jae Myung’s Global Push | South Korea News

Wednesday, September 9, 2026 • Duration 02:00

President Lee Jae Myung is on a whirlwind global tour early in his term, betting that proactive diplomacy now will yield lasting results before constitutional limits cut short his window — and amid whispers that his push for international engagement may be subtly tied to broader debates over revising Korea’s one-term presidency rule. He’s not just traveling for optics: his agenda targets AI, energy, and quantum tech partnerships with nations like France, aiming to boost investment, security ties, and Korea’s global clout. With his administration pushing for a two-term system, Lee’s strategy is clear — seize every opportunity while he can, to build a stronger, more influential Korea before time runs out.

Police Stations Now Must Transfer Family Cases | South Korea News

Wednesday, September 9, 2026 • Duration 01:25

Police departments now face stricter rules: any case involving a close relative of a current or recently employed officer must be transferred to another precinct—spouses, parents, children, and siblings all included. This expands on prior policies, which only prohibited officers from handling family cases, now banning entire stations if the relative was active or worked there within three years. The change follows public outrage after a high-profile investigation where an officer’s father allegedly interfered, sparking demands for stronger safeguards. Guided by an external oversight committee, the new guidelines include rare exceptions for victim safety or immediate detention, requiring approval from higher authorities. The National Police Agency vows to continue reforming to restore public trust and ensure fair, impartial investigations.

Bare-Knuckle Fights Surge in Schools | South Korea News

Wednesday, September 9, 2026 • Duration 01:50

School violence is surging to record highs, fueled by a dangerous new trend: bare-knuckle “yacha rules” fights among teens, spreading online with disturbing encouragement. As students return to in-person school, physical altercations are climbing — especially on campus — while cyberbullying and verbal abuse decline. The Ministry of Education is stepping in with crackdowns, police partnerships, and new programs focused on conflict resolution and relationship repair, recognizing these unregulated fights aren’t just playground brawls but serious threats to student safety.

Seoul Boycotts Japan's Sado Mine Memorial | South Korea News

Wednesday, September 9, 2026 • Duration 01:43

South Korea is skipping Japan’s annual memorial for wartime forced laborers at the Sado mine for the third straight year, citing unresolved disagreements over how to properly acknowledge the forced nature of the labor. While Japan plans to hold the ceremony in Niigata, Seoul insists Japan hasn’t been sincere enough and has instead hosted its own separate remembrance. The dispute stems from Japan’s 2024 UNESCO World Heritage designation of the mine, which came with a promise to honor victims — a commitment Seoul says Japan has failed to meet. The World Heritage Committee has urged Japan to fully disclose the site’s colonial-era history, including the brutal exploitation of over 1,500 Koreans who labored there to produce war materials. South Korea vows to hold its own memorial later this year and demands Japan comply with UNESCO’s call for historical transparency.

Korean Rescue Team Returns to Nepal | South Korea News

Korea’s first disaster relief crew is packing up to head home this Friday after a tense 10-day mission in Nepal, bringing back vital supplies like blankets and tents.

Despite the first team’s departure, Seoul’s rapid-response unit and the Korean Embassy remain on the ground, supporting local authorities and the families of those still unaccounted for.

Smilegate Founder Divorced Out $1.8B | South Korea News

Wednesday, September 9, 2026 • Duration 01:47

A Seoul court just ordered Smilegate founder Kwon Hyuk-bin to hand over 35% of his company shares—worth nearly $1.8 billion—to his ex-wife, setting a record for the largest divorce asset split in Korea. While Kwon retains majority control, the ruling forces major corporate decisions to require joint approval, shifts dividend distribution, and could reshape Smilegate’s governance. Though appeals are expected, this landmark decision signals a seismic change for the gaming giant behind Crossfire and Lost Ark.
