  • Still adjusting

    Professor Yang from Catholic Uni is the best. Give him more air time. Incredibly clear and gifted at distilling complex economics into comprehensible talk.

    Really sad no more host Kwon Jang-ho. Miss his brisk pacing and news bites. He was an exceptional host.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Korea 24 - 2026.05.14
Q: What are teachers asking for to make field trips safer and more manageable again?
Teachers want the state to assume more liability and provide clearer exemptions, distinguishing between genuine negligence and unavoidable accidents, so individual teachers won't bear criminal liability for off-campus activities.
Korea 24 - 2026.05.04
Q: Professor Yang, how do you view the UAE's exit from OPEC amid the Iran war and what might it mean for prices in the near term?
In the short term, the impact is limited due to supply being constrained by the Strait of Hormuz; once that unblocks, prices could ease slightly but remain relatively high because restarting facilities will take time and demand for semiconductors stays strong.
Korea 24 - 2026.04.27
Q: What was fueling the KOSPI rally despite global tensions?
Investors were optimistic that the worst of the Middle East conflict was behind us and that major IT firms would report strong earnings, supported by record profits in semiconductors and ongoing demand from AI infrastructure.
Korea 24 - 2026.05.01
Q: What inspired President Lee Jae Myung to address Labor Day with a focus on safe workplaces and dialogue between labour and management?
He drew on his own history as a factory worker and a perceived need to safeguard fundamental labour rights, suggesting the government will pursue enforcement and education to prevent violence and discrimination in workplaces.
Korea 24 - 2026.04.21
Q: Can you walk us through what happened in the Johnny Somali sentencing and how it compares to similar cases?
The court handed down six months with labor for Johnny Somali, which prosecutors had sought to be longer (three years). Observers argue this is unusually light given multiple charges, including obstruction of business and deepfake distribution, and note potential implications for future deterrence and cross-border enforcement.
