'편가르기'가 점점 더 심해지는 시대
Hello and welcome.
You're watching Press Perspective for this Friday January 24th here in Seoul.
I'm Min Sunhee.
Today we address the impact of political polarization on the stability of our societies and more.
For more I have Kelly Kasulis Cho with The Washington Post.
Kelly it's good to have you back this week.
I also have Colin Marshall with the foreign pundit's take on the issues at hand.
Colin as always thank you for being here.
1) Kelly, there are grave concerns about the deepening political divide here in Korea.
As a foreign journalist covering the events here, what is your assessment?
2) Colin, what do you suppose is further aggravating Korea's political polarization this time around?
3) Kelly, some pro-Yoon supporters have spoken of seeing hope in Mr. Trump's return to the White House where he promptly moved to pardon the January 6th rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol in 2021.
In fact, Kelly, what has been the response to Mr. Trump's pardon of these rioters?
4) Colin, back here in Korea.
Dozens were arrested for storming the Seoul Western District Court in the early hours of Sunday following the decision to formally detain President Yoon Suk Yeol.
Now among those arrested, about half were men in their twenties and thirties.
What are your thoughts regarding this phenomenon?
5) Meanwhile Kelly, I hear this growing political gap between Gen Z women and men is a phenomenon that extends beyond Korean borders.
Do tell us more.
6) Colin, a local survey shows most Koreans believe the government should take the lead in bridging the political divide, but few trust its ability to do so.
What is your interpretation of this finding?
7) Kelly, let's now move on to some other lighter stories.
Starting from this weekend, Korea celebrates an extended lunar new year holiday and quite a number of people are planning to go overseas as the Korean passport allows visa-free access to 192 destinations without a visa.
This is according to the Henley Index for this year.
Do tell us a bit about this index, and the rankings for this year as well as their broader implications.
8) Colin, there has been yet another foreign media report about robots tackling labor shortages amid Korea's aging population.
How do you care to explain this continued media interest?
All right.
