Most Popular S. Korean PM to attend enthronement of Japanese emperor on Oct. 22 South Korea's prime minister plans to visit Japan next week in what would be the highest-level trip since Japan imposed export curbs in a deepening trade and diplomatic row. According to the Prime Minister's office on Sunday, Lee will be making a trip to Japan from October 22nd through the 24th to attend the enthronement ceremony of Japanese Emperor Naruhito. Government sources said they expect Lee to take part in a banquet hosted by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Thursday, and hold separate talks with him, which would mark the highest-level dialogue since tension flared up last year over the issue of Japan's wartime use of South Korean forced labor, Prime Minister Lee is also likely to bring Abe a message from President Moon Jae-in. 2019-10-14 U.S. should view talks as way to resolve insecurity between nuclear powers: Choson Sinbo A North Korean newspaper on Saturday said that Pyeongyang's latest missile test has become a new nuclear deterrent against the United States. Choson Sinbo said the North's successful test of what it claimed was a "new-type SLBM Pukguksong-3" provides the regime with another nuclear deterrent. The newspaper claimed that as a result of the North's successful test, the U.S. needs to treat its talks with Pyeongyang as a process of resolving security instability between nuclear powers rather than expecting the regime to denuclearize first and then receive compensation. Following the North's SLBM test, the U.S. flew an E-8C surveillance aircraft over areas near the Korean Peninsula for the first time since 2018 on an apparent mission to collect intelligence regarding North Korea. 2019-10-13 Cho Kuk steps down as justice minister 35 days after taking post Justice Minister Cho Kuk offered to step down on Monday, amid the ongoing investigation into corruption allegations against his family. In a written statement handed out to reporters on Monday afternoon, Cho said that he felt apologetic to the public regarding the ongoing probes into his family, adding that he will now put down everything in order to take care of his family. Speaking to reporters as he left the Justice Ministry for the last time as the ministry's head, Cho said that his role in bringing about prosecutorial reform has ended, and he asked for the public to support the government and his successor in completing the reform. "I apologize and am grateful to the public. I will now return to my role as a citizen. The task of prosecutorial reform will be handed over to my competent successor. More importantly, I believe that the public will finish the picture." The surprise announcement came just three hours after Cho unveiled a set of reform measures. Those include plans to balance out the prosecution's investigative power by leaving only three special investigative units that focus on corruption scandals involving high-ranking officials, as well as measures to protect the rights of suspects and stakeholders probed by the prosecution. For the past two months since Cho was chosen to be justice minister by President Moon, Cho's family have been at the center of attention over allegations of corruption. Those allegations include suspicions of forging a university award to help Cho's daughter gain admission to medical school and of involvement in a dubious private equity fund investment. Kim Mok-yeon, Arirang News. 2019-10-15 Typhoon Hagibis hits Japan on Sunday, leaves dozens of casualties due to strong wind and rain The most powerful typhoon to hit Japan in decades has caused 10 deaths near Tokyo and left at least 16 other people missing. Typhoon Hagibis is now in the far north of Japan, so the authorities have lifted rain and flood advisories in the Tokyo area. The storm is expected to head out over the ocean this evening. In Fukushima, the authorities at the damaged nuclear plant reported irregular readings from the sensors monitoring the contaminated water. Korea was also hit by the storm, indirectly. It caused service to be halted on a train line near Busan after high winds damaged a bridge. 2019-10-13
