South Korea [Publisher Column] "The moment trust is broken, diplomacy loses its power"

By UN Journal Lee Jon-young Trust. When this one word is broken, even the strongest national power loses its persuasiveness, and even the most eloquent diplomatic messages return as empty echoes. Today's international society is a complex web of intertwined national interests. Consequently, "consistency between words and actions" plays a greater role in diplomacy than ever before. However, reality is different. A "Myeonjongbokbae (面從腹背 outwardly obedient, yet inwardly betraying) attitude— is evident throughout international relations. This duplicity in diplomacy recurs not only between nations

South Korea [Special Feature] Pride of a 40-year kimchi legacy: Future of K-kimchi pioneered by Seohan Food Co.

South Korea [Publisher Damwha Column] The path toward a fair Republic of Korea

By UN Journal Lee Jon-young This year marks the 80th anniversary of liberation, a deeply meaningful occasion. Over the past eight decades, the Republic of Korea overcame poverty through industrialization and transcended authoritarianism through democratization. These two pillars have been recorded as the ‘century of the nation’ and the ‘century of the people’. Yet today, we stand before a new question: “What should the Republic of Korea strive for in the future?” The national vision set forth by the Lee Jae-myung administration is clear: “A nation where the people are the masters, the Republic

South Korea [Publisher Damwha Column] “Visa-free entry for Chinese tourists and tax-funded tourism subsidies are gambling”

By UN Journal Lee Jon-young The central government and some local governments are expanding visa-free entry for Chinese tourists and even offering subsidies funded by taxes to attract more Chinese tourists. While citing the recovery of the tourism industry post-COVID-19 as justification, this amounts to nothing more than reckless gambling using local finances as collateral. China has long been central to Korea's tourism market, and visa-free expansion could temporarily inject vitality into aviation, lodging, and food services. However, increased tourist numbers do not automatically translate i

South Korea [Publisher Column] Prayer is peace, harmony, and a heart attitude for someone

By UN Journal Lee Jon-young Every day, we pass through a landscape of fierce words and division. Politics puts more weight on blame than responsibility, and those who are called leaders only talk about ‘strategies’ to defeat their opponents rather than the people. In the midst of this, I say, “This is a time when prayer is needed.” However, true prayer is not a monologue to heaven, but a heart attitude for our neighbors, and it should be the starting point of practice to reflect on my thoughts and actions for someone other than myself. Prayer is ‘courage’ for the weak. Even at this moment, som

South Korea [Publisher Column] “Invited artists” and “recommended artists”: Titles show status and trust in the art world

By UN Journal Lee Jon-young In the art world, the title of ‘artist’ is not simply a job title or a nameplate. It is the result of public verification and a symbol of the trust that creators receive from the art world. In particular, the titles ‘recommended artist’ and ‘invited artist,’ which are commonly seen in exhibition halls, have functioned as symbolic language that goes beyond simple distinctions to encapsulate the creative journey and artistic position of the artist. However, in recent years, there has been an increasing number of cases where the mandatory step of being a recommended ar
