Critics are calling on Seoul and Washington to formulate a new approach to deal with North Korea's fast improving nuclear program. Here's a look at Kim’s latest nuclear moves.___NUCLEAR WEAPONS ON THE BORDER?During a military meeting that ended Thursday, Kim and other senior officials confirmed additional “operation duties” and “modified operation plans” for military units near the border with South Korea.State media dispatches didn’t mention nuclear weapons directly. But outside experts believe North Korea's vague language signals its intention to forward-deploy tactical nuclear weapons systems. They base their assessment in part on recent public comments from North Korea about such plans, and on a slew of tests of short-range nuclear-capable missiles designed to attack strategic facilities in South Korea, including U.S. military bases there. One big hint came in April, when North Korea test-fired a newly developed guided weapon that it said would improve the efficient operation of “tactical nukes” and boost the firepower of front-line artillery units. Later that month, Kim said he could use his nuclear program preemptively if provoked.North Korea now has a “much higher chance to use its tactical nuclear weapons on a battlefield” if a war breaks out on the Korean Peninsula, said Kim Yeol Soo, an expert at South Korea’s Korea Institute for Military Affairs. The weapons likely to be deployed at the border are some of the more mobile, solid-fueled, short-range missiles that North Korea has test-launched since nuclear diplomacy with the United States collapsed in 2019. North Korea has called those missiles -- which foreign experts say are potentially capable of evading South Korean and U.S. missile defenses -- “tactical” weapons, implying its intent to arm them with lower-yield nuclear weapons.North Korea has likely already acquired the technology to arm its missiles with nuclear warheads, so its deployment of tactical nuclear weapons could happen any time, said Kim Taewoo, former head of the state-funded Korean Institute for National Unification in Seoul.Some experts, however, said North Korea might not deploy nuclear-armed missiles because of possible problems maintaining them. ___WILL SOUTH KOREA RESPOND BY DEPLOYING NUCLEAR WEAPONS?North Korea’s apparent push to deploy tactical nuclear weapons may be part of Kim’s recent vow to counter the United States “strength for strength” amid stalled nuclear diplomacy. It also comes as Washington and Seoul work to strengthen their combined defense capabilities to cope with North Korean nuclear threats. South Korea’s new conservative government, which took office last month, has said it will expand its conventional arms capabilities and strengthen its defenses in conjunction with the United States.While the Koreas have avoided major conflict since the end of the 1950-53 Korean War, there have been deadly skirmishes and attacks in recent years that have killed dozens.North Korea has a history of escalating threats and provocations when a new government is inaugurated in South Korea or the United States to create a potentially favorable environment for future negotiations. The country has often then dialed down its rhetoric and launched charm offensives.That may happen this time. But nuclear weapons on the front lines would complicate how South Korea responds to any future North Korean provocation. New South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, during a summit with U.S. President Joe Biden last month, secured a U.S. commitment on the regional deployment of U.S. strategic assets such as long-range bombers and aircraft carriers in response to provocations by North Korea. The allies may also conduct their largest combined military training in years in August.But Yoon has said he won’t pursue nuclear development or ask the United States to redeploy nuclear weapons in South Korea as a deterrence against potential aggression by North Korea. The South Korean military said it’s closely monitoring North Korean activities over the possible move to deploy tactical nuclear weapons, but didn’t elaborate.Some experts say North Korea’s expansion of tactical nuclear weapons and pursuit of long-range missiles capable of reaching the U.S. mainland have reduced the credibility of America’s “nuclear umbrella,” though the Biden administration has repeatedly reaffirmed a U.S. commitment to defend South Korea with its full range of military capabilities.There are also calls for the reintroduction of U.S. nuclear weapons in South Korea. “We should switch to a strategy of terminating North Korea's nuke threats through a nuclear balance,” said Kim Taewoo, the former head of the Korean Institute for National Unification. “The deployment of tactical nuclear weapons means that North Korea’s nuclear threat would be right in front of us.” ___WHAT'S NEXT? Tactical nuclear weapons were part of a five-year arms development plan Kim Jong Un announced last year. He has ramped up ballistic missile testing to an unprecedented pace this year to boost his country’s ability to attack both the U.S. mainland and South Korea. For weeks, U.S. and South Korean officials have noted signs of an imminent nuclear test by North Korea, which would be its first since 2017 and seventh in total. Such a test could be part of an attempt to build a warhead that could fit on tactical missiles or multi-warhead missiles. But North Korea hasn’t carried out such a test yet, possibly because of its continuing COVID-19 outbreak and opposition from China, its last major ally and biggest aid provider.North Korea has so far rejected the Biden administration’s offers of open-ended talks, calling for Washington to first abandon its “hostile policy,” a term it uses in reference to U.S.-led economic sanctions and joint U.S.-South Korean military drills. Experts say it's only a matter of time before North Korea conducts a nuclear test, which is seen as an essential step in enlarging its nuclear arsenal under Kim’s five-year plan. Such a test would likely further complicate a push to resume nuclear diplomacy.","portalUser":{"id":"8dFR8PhLJl4s","name":"AP","username":"associatedpress","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/AP-200x200_TbSS3S6KN.jpeg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"37.566","longitude":"126.9784","name":"Seoul,South Korea","city":"Seoul"},"keywords":"North Korea,South Korea,U.S.,Kim,the United States,Seoul,North Korean,South Korean,Washington,North Korea's","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-24T10:39:11.524121+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"RMi1LBKSuruC","slug":"english/bts-to-hold-global-concert-as-ambassadors-of-2030-busan-world-expo","title":"BTS to hold global concert as ambassadors of 2030 Busan World Expo","postType":1,"coverMedia":null,"coverCaption":null,"reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2022-06-24T07:12:05.847634+00:00","highlightSummary":null,"highlightSummaryFlag":0,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":null,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":0,"content":"{\"time\": 1656054725.146963, \"blocks\": [{\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"New Delhi, Jun 24 (PTI) K-pop sensation BTS will be headlining a global concert to support South Korea\\u2019s bid to host the 2030 World Expo in Busan.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"According to a press release, the city of Busan has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with HYBE Labels for the promotion of the 'Busan World Expo 2030'.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"As part of the agreement, BTS will be serving as ambassadors of the 'Busan World Expo 2030' and will hold the Global Busan Concert.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"\\\"Given the importance of its bid as a nation to host the World Expo 2030 in Busan, BTS and HYBE will do our best to successfully bring the World Expo to Busan.

The office didn’t specify the number of people placed under the monthlong travel ban or who they are, although they may include current and former staff members and developers. Prosecutors refused to provide more details, saying the investigation was ongoing.Daniel Hong, a former Terraform developer, tweeted a government notice showing that he was banned from leaving the country through July 19. Hong tweeted: “stop asking me why i couldn’t make it to NYC frens, this is why: the Korean government imposed an exit ban for all ex-@terra_money employees today.”The collapse of TerraUSD and Luna, developed by Terraform Lab’s Stanford-educated co-founder Do Kwon, affected an estimated 280,000 South Korean investors while causing broader turmoil in the global cryptocurrency market.TerraUSD was designed as a “stablecoin,” which are pegged to stable assets like the U.S. dollar to prevent drastic fluctuations in prices. However, around $40 billion in market value was erased for the holders of TerraUSD and its floating sister currency, Luna, after the stablecoin plunged far below its $1 peg in May.South Korean prosecutors launched the investigation last month following collective complaints filed by dozens of investigators. They could try to summon Kwon, who is reportedly in Singapore and faces accusations that he exaggerated the stability of his currencies. The Bank of Korea, South Korea’s central bank, said in a report published earlier this month that the collapse of TerraUSD and Luna was a major factor in the global currency market shrinking by more than 40% compared to late last year, when its market value reached over $2.3 trillion. The U.S. Federal Reserve’s recent decision to raise its key interest rate to fight inflation has also contributed to the slide by further repelling investors from volatile assets, the bank said.","portalUser":{"id":"8dFR8PhLJl4s","name":"AP","username":"associatedpress","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/AP-200x200_TbSS3S6KN.jpeg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"37.566","longitude":"126.9784","name":"Seoul,South Korea","city":"Seoul"},"keywords":"South Korea,South Korean,SEOUL,Terraform Labs,The Seoul Southern District Prosecutor’s Office,Daniel Hong,Korean,Terraform Lab’s,Stanford,U.S.","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-22T08:03:18.472755+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"115e1HbX9J3M","slug":"english/asian-shares-dip-despite-wall-st-rally-eyes-on-fed-chair","title":"Asian shares dip despite Wall St rally; eyes on Fed chair","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/Japan_Financial_Markets_73141_AA1m2T-pT.jpg","coverCaption":"A man wearing a protective mask walks in front of an electronic stock board showing Japan's Nikkei 225 index at a securities firm Wednesday, June 22, 2022, in Tokyo.

But she said they told her that none of their relatives, neighbors and acquaintances has died of COVID-19, though they’ve heard rumors of such deaths in other towns.“During an earlier phone conversation, one of my sources cried a little bit when she said she was worried that some bad things could happen in her family (because of COVID-19). But now she and others have become stable and sometimes laugh when we talk on the phone,” Kang said.During a recent ruling party meeting, Kim said the country's pandemic fight has passed the stage of “unexpected serious crisis.” State media have urged the public to rally behind Kim in a firmer way to overcome the pandemic completely.Cho Joonghoon, a spokesperson for South Korea’s Unification Ministry, which oversees relations with North Korea, told reporters last week that the North may announce its COVID-19 crisis has been resolved this month. Nam, the South Korean professor, said the outbreak appears to have eased in Pyongyang, North Korea’s capital, but will likely continue in rural areas, where some people with symptoms are venturing out of doors because they rely on market activities for a living and have no access to public rations. “I think North Korea will declare a victory over the pandemic a bit later. It would lose face if it proclaimed victory too soon and new patients cropped up afterwards,” Nam said. Kang, the defector, said that North Korean residents in Hyesan abide by the government's anti-pandemic orders and that few fever patients go outside during quarantine periods.Because North Korea believes that the pandemic, U.N. sanctions and other economic difficulties will continue, there's little chance it will lift major restrictions soon, said Lim Eul-chul, a professor at Kyungnam University’s Institute for Far Eastern Studies in Seoul.“The United States and other countries with advanced health care and medical systems haven’t declared an end to COVID-19. So North Korea will also find it much more difficult to do so,” Lim said.The global vaccine alliance GAVI said earlier this month that it understands that North Korea has accepted an offer of vaccines from China. But North Korea has ignored South Korean and U.S. offers of medical support. Despite its COVID-19 outbreak, North Korea has continued test-firing missiles this year. But it hasn't yet carried out a widely expected nuclear test, possibly because of worries about a potential backlash from people still struggling with the virus. North Korea may officially declare victory over the virus when its daily fever cases and the pandemic situation in neighboring China ease significantly, said Ahn Kyung-su, head of DPRKHEALTH.ORG, a website focusing on health issues in North Korea. But he said such a declaration doesn’t mean much because North Korea likely only acknowledged the outbreak last month because it had determined that it was manageable.“According to North Korea, it defeats everything. It doesn’t acknowledge things that it can’t overcome. It always wins absolutely, no matter whether it faces military, economic or pandemic difficulties,” Ahn said.","portalUser":{"id":"8dFR8PhLJl4s","name":"AP","username":"associatedpress","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/AP-200x200_TbSS3S6KN.jpeg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"37.566","longitude":"126.9784","name":"Seoul,South Korea","city":"Seoul"},"keywords":"North Korea,South Korea,South Korean,Seoul,China,North Korean,Kim,Kang,SEOUL,Kim Jong Un's","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-21T01:27:15.547617+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"8ElLRmBZPmfi","slug":"english/pianist-18-from-south-korea-wins-van-cliburn-competition","title":"Pianist, 18, from South Korea wins Van Cliburn competition","postType":1,"coverMedia":"","coverCaption":"","reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2022-06-19T21:57:09.659848+00:00","highlightSummary":null,"highlightSummaryFlag":0,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":null,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":0,"content":"{\"time\": 1655675828.909984, \"blocks\": [{\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — An 18-year-old from South Korea has won the 16th Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, one of the top showcases for the world's best pianists.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"The competition held in Fort Worth, Texas, ended Saturday night with Yunchan Lim becoming the competition's youngest winner of the gold medal.

While still determined to get information about her biological parents, Mathieson treasures the snippets of her past that have emerged as she presses on with her search.“It was nice to get additional photos,” Mathieson said about images recently sent from the Korea Welfare Service, her adoption agency. “I will cherish them.”","portalUser":{"id":"8dFR8PhLJl4s","name":"AP","username":"associatedpress","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/AP-200x200_TbSS3S6KN.jpeg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"37.566","longitude":"126.9784","name":"Seoul,South Korea","city":"Seoul"},"keywords":"Korean,Mathieson,Brothers,South Korea,Busan,Canadian,Lee Chang-keun,Belgium,Seoul,Lee","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-11T02:09:13.048695+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"jecbAwZP7x7g","slug":"english/north-korean-leader-reaffirms-arms-buildup-in-party-meeting","title":"North Korean leader reaffirms arms buildup in party meeting","postType":1,"coverMedia":"","coverCaption":"","reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2022-06-10T23:42:10.838754+00:00","highlightSummary":null,"highlightSummaryFlag":0,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":null,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":0,"content":"{\"time\": 1654904530.006691, \"blocks\": [{\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un doubled down on his arms buildup in face of what he described as an aggravating security environment as he concluded a major political conference that came as U.S. and South Korean officials said his plans to conduct another nuclear test explosion was imminent.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"Kim’s comments published by North Korea’s state-run Korean Central News Agency on Saturday didn’t include any direct criticism of the United States or rival South Korea amid a prolonged deadlock in nuclear diplomacy during the three days of discussions that wrapped up Friday. \"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"Kim defended his accelerating weapons development as rightful exercise of sovereign rights to self-defense and set forth further “militant tasks” to be pursued his armed forces and military scientists, according to the agency.

The Japan Tourism Agency says tours are being accepted from 98 countries and regions, including the United States, Britain, China, South Korea, Thailand and Singapore, which are deemed as having low infection risks.Japan’s partial resumption of international tourism is being carried out under guidelines based on an experiment conducted in late May. It involved about 50 participants, mostly tour agency employees from Australia, Singapore, Thailand and the United States. In one case, a tour for a four-member group was cancelled when one of the participants tested positive for COVID-19 after arriving in Japan. Under the guidelines, participants are requested to wear face masks most of the time and to purchase insurance to cover medical costs in case they contract COVID-19. The rules don't set a cap for the number of people in one group, but tour guides must be present throughout the tour. After facing criticism that its strict border controls were xenophobic, Japan began easing restrictions earlier this year. On June 1, it doubled its cap on daily entries to 20,000 people a day, including Japanese citizens, foreign students and some business travelers.The daily limit will include the package tour participants for the time being, and officials say it will take some time before foreign visitors can come to Japan for free, individual tourism.Japan's inbound tourism business has laid dormant during the pandemic and even though the country welcomes tourists and their spending, infection concerns persist among Japanese, especially in popular tourist destinations.Unlike most Western countries where mask-wearing has largely been abandoned, most people continue to wear them even in situations, such as outdoors in uncrowded settings, where they are no longer requested. The latest mask wearing rules call for people to wear them on public transport systems, in hospitals and other public facilities. People can doff their masks outdoors when others are not around or talking loudly. It's unclear how popular the package tours options will be with foreign tourists, most of whom have to apply for tourist visas that can take weeks to obtain. But the yen is trading at 20-year lows against the U.S. dollar and weak against other major currencies, which would make traveling in the high-cost country something of a bargain. Foreign tourist arrivals fell more than 90% in 2020 from a record 31.9 million the year before, almost wiping out the pre-pandemic inbound tourism market of more than 4 trillion yen ($30 billion).","portalUser":{"id":"8dFR8PhLJl4s","name":"AP","username":"associatedpress","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/AP-200x200_TbSS3S6KN.jpeg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"35.6895","longitude":"139.6917","name":"Tokyo,Japan","city":"Tokyo"},"keywords":"Japan,the United States,Thailand,Singapore,Japanese,TOKYO,The Japan Tourism Agency,Britain,China,South Korea","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-10T05:06:08.783785+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"Mpk447EvwvuQ","slug":"english/online-cosmetics-retailer-purplle-turns-unicorn-after-33-million-fundraise","title":"Online cosmetics retailer Purplle turns unicorn after $33 million fundraise","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi_FKM2SCmTq.jpg","coverCaption":"Purplle was established in 2012 by Taneja, Rahul Dash and Suyash Katyayani (Photo Credit: Twitter/@mynextcompany)","reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2022-06-09T14:39:45.282202+00:00","highlightSummary":"\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003ePurplle raised $33 million as a part of a Series E funding round\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eThe company has raised $215 million in equity funding to date\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003ePurplle will use the new capital to scale its private labels and strengthen its product\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e","highlightSummaryFlag":1,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":1,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":2,"content":"{\\\"time\\\":1654785583894,\\\"strCount\\\":3712,\\\"blocks\\\":[{\\\"type\\\":\\\"paragraph\\\",\\\"data\\\":{\\\"text\\\":\\\"Online \u003ca href=\\\\\\\"https://opoyi.com/list-of-skincare-products-must-for-monsoon\\\\\\\"\u003ecosmetics\u003c/a\u003e marketplace Purplle has entered the coveted \u003ca href=\\\\\\\"https://opoyi.com/english/india-hits-a-century-of-unicorns-boosting-startup-economy\\\\\\\"\u003eunicorn club\u003c/a\u003e after the Mumbai-based company raised $33 million as a part of a Series E funding round led by \u003ca href=\\\\\\\"https://opoyi.com/english/united-states-south-korea-fly-20-fighter-jets-amid-north-korea-tensions\\\\\\\"\u003eSouth Korea’s\u003c/a\u003e Paramark Ventures.\\\"}},{\\\"type\\\":\\\"paragraph\\\",\\\"data\\\":{\\\"text\\\":\\\"Existing investors Blume Ventures, Kedaara Capital and billionaire Azim Premji’s Premji Invest also participated in the funding round, the company said in a statement.
