  • 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 - 2026.03.09
Q: How is Korea navigating the currency and energy challenges in the near term?
The won has depreciated to the weakest level since 2009 amid higher oil prices, with government actions including price caps on fuel and potential tax relief to stabilize prices and protect consumers.
Korea 24 - 2026.03.09
Q: What is the current status of international oil prices and what caused the spike?
Oil prices surged due to disruptions in crude supply tied to Iran tensions and the closing of the Strait of Hormuz, with OPEC Plus adjusting production in response to storage constraints and geopolitical risk.
Korea 24 - 2026.03.05
Q: What are the main risks facing global energy markets due to the Iran-Israel conflict?
Experts described potential price spikes if Middle Eastern production is disrupted, but noted that oversupply and diversified supply sources could limit temporary price increases; longer-term disruption could drive higher costs if major facilities are damaged.
Korea 24 - 2026.03.04
Q: To start us off, can you walk us through how markets moved across Asia on Wednesday, beginning with the COSPI here in South Korea?
The COSPI dropped over 12% while the KOSDAQ fell about 14%, with emergency circuit breakers activated, reflecting broad risk-off sentiment across Asian markets driven by the Middle East crisis and oil price pressures.
Korea 24 - 2026.02.26
Q: What concrete steps do you believe the South Korean government should take to acknowledge responsibility and provide meaningful redress to adoptees?
I advocate for restorative justice, including restoration of citizenship and creating an archive of adoption cases to help others get access to documentation.
