North Korean leader Kim Jong ‌Un said exercising the country’s position as a nuclear state is the only way to cope with an unpredictable and complicated global security situation, KCNA state news agency reported on Tuesday. “Unimaginable, astonishing incidents and events” are occurring because of the “gangster-like” greed of hegemonic forces, making confrontations around the world more violent, Kim said, blaming the US for worsening bloodshed in Europe and the Middle East. He was speaking at a Central Committee meeting of the ruling Workers’ Party, running from Saturday to Monday, KCNA said.

World Cup 2026: Tournament kicks off under shadow of politics and restrictions Submitted by Shaheryar Mirza on Thu, 06/11/2026 - 14:33 As this year's edition of the global competition gets underway, it is rife with barriers to entry and fears that fans will have to worry about more than team's performances People walk past a mural with political messages ahead of the match in Mexico City, Mexico, on 10 June 2026 (Kai Pfaffenbach/Reuters) Off The world's most prestigious sporting event kicks off on Thursday, but for many it's a moment where the beautiful game meets the ugly realities of visa restrictions, price gouging and political interference.  The first match of the tournament will take place between host country Mexico and 2010 host South Africa, followed by South Korea taking on Czechia.  The Canada-US leg of the tournament starts Friday afternoon, with Canada facing Bosnia and Herzegovina and the US taking on Paraguay later in the evening. The US will host 78 out of 104 matches, with Canada and Mexico allotted 15 each. Despite Mexico's smaller footprint during the tournament, its opening ceremony could not escape the politicised landscape, with thousands of protesters descending on the Estadio Ciudad de Mexico ahead of the opening match.

PoliticalCrisis🇰🇷South Korea22d ago

A South Korean protest calling for a redo of last Wednesday’s local election over ballot shortages at polling stations has taken an unexpected turn, with some protesters demanding that actress and singer IU send coffee to the rally. The demand appears to stem from IU’s decision in 2024 to provide prepaid food and drinks for demonstrators calling for the impeachment of former president Yoon Suk-yeol over his failed martial law bid. The protesters calling for a new election, who are widely seen as...

‘Tank Day’ event causes outrage with ‘malicious mockery’ of deadly crackdown during dictatorship era The chief executive of Starbucks in South Korea has been dismissed after the company ran a promotional event using slogans that evoked a massacre of pro-democracy protesters during the country’s dictatorship era, sparking outrage and boycott calls. The coffee chain launched a “Tank Day” campaign on 18 May for its “Tank” tumbler series. The date coincides with one of the most politically sensitive days in South Korea’s calendar, when citizens commemorate the 1980 democratisation movement in Gwangju, 167 miles (270km) south-west of Seoul.

A court has sentenced a former South Korean justice minister to 25 years in prison for his role in ex-president Yoon Suk-yeol’s brief and disastrous declaration of martial law in 2024. Park Sung-jae was found guilty of involvement in “insurrection”, the Yonhap news agency reported from the Seoul Central District Court on Monday. Yoon’s December 2024 martial law declaration lasted only about six hours as lawmakers raced to the assembly building and voted it down in an emergency session.

As South Koreans brace for another sweltering summer, a grim joke has taken hold in casual conversation: “This will be the coolest summer for the rest of our lives.” For many young people, that line is no longer dark humour but a blunt summary of how the climate crisis feels – relentless, immediate and deeply personal. Among South Korea’s young generations, a wave of what experts call “climate anxiety” is reshaping their daily lives, from how they exercise and shop to whether they plan to marry...

Beijing/Seoul — Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s first visit to North Korea in seven years wasn’t just loaded with rhetoric hailing historic ties between China and its longstanding – and only – treaty ally. Instead, the two-day state visit was a chance for Xi to spell out his vision for China’s alignment with its nuclear-armed neighbor into … The post Why China’s Xi wants a ‘brighter’ future with North Korea appeared first on Egypt Independent .

South Korea’s Kospi saw a violent reversal after briefly topping 8,000, crashing over 6% as tech stocks plunged and foreign investors dumped shares. Samsung Electronics’ steep fall amid an 18-day strike call intensified the rout, wiping out much of the index’s world-beating 2026 gains and dragging broader Asian markets lower.
