Last update: 9 hours ago

Ilbe Crackdown Talk: President Lee Jae Myung said he may push “strict conditions” to punish hate speech and mockery online, including shutting down sites like Ilbe and seeking punitive damages, after reports of far-right-linked youths mocking the Roh Moo-hyun memorial. Buddha’s Birthday Agenda: At Jogye Temple, Lee also framed his government as one that “saves people’s lives,” stressing compassion and protection for vulnerable citizens. Starbucks Fallout: Seoul’s Starbucks prepaid balance hit 420 billion won by end-2025, spotlighting a regulatory gap as protests over “Tank Day” and related campaigns continue. Inter-Korean Sports Signal: North Korea’s Naegohyang Women’s FC left South Korea after winning the AFC Women’s Champions League, with the team staying silent on chants to “see them again.” Energy Pressure: South Korea’s Middle East crude imports fell 37% in April amid regional tensions, while LNG spot-market procurement and LNG cargo approvals moved ahead.
