YOON SUK-YEOL

North Korea has test-fired three suspected ballistic missiles Wednesday, just after President Biden left the region after a trip reinforcing U.S. alliances with South Korea and Japan.

Biden used to talk about the passion he gained traveling abroad. But his first trip to Asia as president has looked like a slog.

Yoon Suk-yeol’s first leadership test: Forging a relationship with President Biden, the leader of his country’s most powerful ally.

The leader of South Korea was asked by a Washington Post reporter about what role he and his administration should play in helping the advancement of women and improving gender equality.

Biden began engaging personally with Korea's president on the 10th day of his tenure, part of an effort to exert more influence in the region.

No other country that has developed an indigenous nuclear weapons stockpile has agreed to trade all of it away for concessions. It's fantasy to believe North Korea will be the first.

President Biden's five-day trip to South Korea and Japan is meant to emphasize U.S. commitment to the region in the face of a more assertive China.

US Hyundai Georgia FILE -- Gov. Georgia officials could announce a second massive electric vehicle plant to be built by Hyundai near Savannah in coming days. It would be the second huge electric vehicle plant announced in Georgia in less than a year. South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol, who took office earlier this week, pledged during his campaign to strengthen U.S.-South Korea ties. It's unclear what models would be assembled at the new Georgia plant.

Hyundai is finalizing those plans as President Joe Biden is set to travel to South Korea next week as part of his first visit to Asia during his presidency. It would be the second massive electric vehicle plant announced in Georgia in less than a year. South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol, who took office earlier this week, pledged during his campaign to strengthen U.S.-South Korea ties. The South Korean automaker would add a third American assembly plant to the Hyundai factory in Montgomery, Alabama, and a Kia factory in West Point, Georgia. It's unclear what models would be assembled at the new Georgia plant.

A U.S. official familiar with the project says South Korean automaker Hyundai Motor Group is expected to announce its plans next week to build a massive electric vehicle plant near Savannah, Georgia.

Yoon Suk-yeol is not going to “have much of a honeymoon period,” said Kathleen Stephens, president and CEO of the Korea Economic Institute of America.

North Korea launched a new ballistic missile test from a submarine on Saturday (May 7).

The reported launch comes just days before South Korea's new president takes office.

The Washington Post interviewed the president-elect, who wants to take South Korea in a more assertive direction, recalibrating its foreign policy from a fixation on North Korea.

American James “Jimmy” Hill refused to postpone his trip to Ukraine last month to bring medical treatment to his longtime partner Irina Teslenko, who has been suffering from progressive multiple sclerosis, his family said Saturday. (March 19)

Never mind the pop culture juggernaut and tech boom. The presidential election revealed a divided and grumpy nation.
