Quick Glance: South Korea’s ‘Luke Skywalker’ Triumphs Against President Yoon
- Former minister Cho Kuk aids in leftwing alliance's electoral victory
- Former justice minister Cho Kuk, convicted on corruption charges, played a pivotal role in the defeat of conservative President Yoon Suk Yeol in parliamentary elections.
- Cho calls for Yoon and PPP leader Han Dong-hoon, both former prosecutors, to be held accountable for abuse of power.

Quick Glance: South Korean Exporters Warn of China as Rival
- South Korea's economy needs to urgently adapt to the increasing competition from China, as the country's biggest exporters battle for market share in sectors like chips, shipbuilding, and display panels, warns the finance minister.
- The growth of South Korea's economy slowed from 2.6 percent in 2022 to 1.4 percent last year, hindered by high interest rates, China's economic slowdown, and a decline in global demand for memory chips, the country's top export.
- The country's lowest fertility rate in the world and high household debt levels as a proportion of GDP are also causing concerns for officials.
- The government recently indicated it would reverse a cut in the R&D budget for 2024 to reform the country's research and development efforts and enhance economic competitiveness.
