A sad, solitary ending for victims of lonely death
On Jan. 19, a bell was tolling ceaselessly in the memorial area in front of Furnace No. 16 at the Seoul Municipal Crematorium and Cemetery. While the body was being cremated, thirty or so friends and relatives of the deceased kept crying. They shared their grief through hugs and caresses. After that, coffins rolled into Furnaces No. 17 and No. 18, and the green light blinked on, indicating that cremation had begun. Unlike the deceased in Furnace No. 16, these were cases of godoksa – a Korean word meaning the solitary death of someone who lives alone – and the bodies had been found several days after death. The emptiness of the memorial area in front of the furnaces suggested how lonely their lives had been. Despite their hardship, there was no one to remember them. They had been alone at the moment of death, and they remained alone until the moment their bodies disintegrated.
President Trump places additional tariffs on US steel imports
US President Donald Trump has finally played the card of placing additional tariffs on imported steel. While the tariffs are not as tough as originally feared, their impact will still be considerable. As Trump’s pressure on trade extends in all directions, concerns about the spread of Trump’s “America first” approach are growing not only in Canada, China and the EU but also inside the US. Affected companies in South Korea admit they may have to stop exporting to the US. During a meeting with leaders from American steel companies at the White House on Mar. 1, Trump said he would be slapping a 25% tariff on steel and a 10% tariff on aluminum and that these tariffs would stay in place for a substantial period of time. Next week, Trump is planning to officially sign an executive order containing the plan.

Me Too movement keeps building up steam
The Me Too movement in Korea has spread from the prosecutors’ office and judiciary to the entertainment industry, academia and clergy, leading to mass mobilizations of activists holding rallies. The theater has been hit especially hard with accusations against influential men, including theatrical directors Lee Youn-taek and Oh Tae-seok and actors Jo Min-ki, Oh Dal-su and Cho Jae-hyun.
FKI asks Trump to exempt Korea from tariffs
The Federation of Korean Industries (FKI) asked the U.S. government to exempt Korea from higher tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. The business lobby group said Sunday it sent letters to all U.S. legislators and high-ranking government officials, including Senator Orrin Hatch, who is the Senate Finance Committee chairman, Commerce Department Secretary Wilbur Ross and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. In the letter, FKI Chairman Huh Chang-soo stated that while Korea understands the Donald Trump administration’s efforts to reduce U.S. trade deficits, a move against Korean steel imports should be reconsidered.

Good Job on Agreeing to the Shorter Working Hours, But We Still Need to Minimize the Side Effects
On February 27, the parliamentary Environment and Labor Committee passed an amendment of the Labor Standards Act, which decreased the maximum weekly working hours to 52 hours from the previous 68. This is significant for the ruling and opposition lawmakers finally reached an agreement after five years since they first embarked on discussions to shorten working hours. The latest amendment does not recognize double bonuses on holiday labor and companies will continue to pay 150% of the normal wages. The bill also designates legal holidays, such as National Liberation Day (Aug. 15) and Independence Movement Day (Mar. 1), as paid holidays, so workers in the private sector will also be paid for their break. The lawmakers also decided to reduce the number of special jobs that are allowed unrestricted labor from the current twenty-six to five.
The Main Culprit, Park Geun-hye: A Stronger Sentence than "Accomplice" Choi Soon-sil Inevitable
On February 27, prosecutors sought thirty years of imprisonment for former President Park Geun-hye (66), and the majority of the people expect the court to make a similar decision. Former President Park had already been found guilty for fifteen of the eighteen charges against her in the trials of her accomplices, and since in the case of bribery, a major charge against her, a public official is the principle offender, her responsibility is heavier than her accomplice, Choi Soon-sil (62). The prosecutors' decision was somewhat predictable after the first court ruling of Choi on February 13. Choi schemed with Park on thirteen of the charges, and was found guilty for eleven of the charges in her first trial.In particular, the court recognized Choi's conspiracy with former President Park on charges of demanding and receiving bribes from large companies such as Samsung. The court is expected to recognize a total of 23.2 billion won, recognized as bribes in Choi's case, as the bribes involving the former president. This includes 7.3 billion won the two received from Samsung, including the possession of the horse; 7 billion won from Lotte Group; and 8.9 billion won, which the two demanded from SK Group.
North Korea and the U.S. Both Want Dialogue, But First They Need to Narrow Their Differences on Denuclearization
Kim Yong-chol, vice chairman overseeing South Korean intelligence in the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) cum director of the United Front Department, who visited South Korea to attend the closing ceremony of the PyeongChang Olympics met with President Moon Jae-in on February 25 and said that Pyongyang had "ample intentions of holding talks with the United States." After his remark was released to the public, the possibility of direct talks between North Korea and the U.S. has increased. There are still many challenges, but just the fact that the two countries agree to the need for talks is great progress. White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders responded to Vice Chairman Kim's remarks by saying, "We will see if Pyongyang's message today, that it is willing to hold talks, represents the first steps along the path to denuclearization."
