Most Popular Son Heung-min scores 'goal of the season' in 70m solo run In football, Tottenham Hotspur's South Korean forward Son Heung-min has scored what's being called the goal of the season. On Saturday, against Burnley, Son took control near his own side's box after a penalty kick and dribbled 70 meters down to the other end, past six defenders, to put it away. In the 31st minute, that put Tottenham up 3-nil, and they went on to win 5-nil. Football fans have gone wild over that goal. Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho, when asked for his reaction, compare Son to one of football's other all-time greats, saying simply, "Sonaldo. Sonaldo Nazario" It's been a great season for Son Heung-min, who matched the record for most goals scored by a Korean player in Europe and was named the AFC Asian International Player of the Year. 2019-12-08 S. Korea’s FM visits Osan Air Base to encourage S. Korean, U.S. troops South Korea's Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha went to Osan Air Base, south of Seoul, on Saturday to encourage South Korean and U.S. troops. Kang had lunch with the troops, and sat down for talks with Commander Hwang Seok-jin of South Korea’s Air Force Operational Command and the commander of the U.S. Seventh Air Force, Kenneth Wilsbach. The minister called the Seoul-Washington alliance "all-weather and all-purpose" and said that it's based on shared values, such as freedom, democracy and a market economy. Kang also said the secret to the alliance's strength is South Korean and U.S. troops working together. She also delivered donations raised by foreign ministry staff to express their appreciation for the troops' efforts. 2019-12-08 Moon, Trump agree to maintain momentum of dialogue with N. Korea Meanwhile, South Korean President Moon Jae-in spoke on the phone Saturday morning with President Trump for about 30 minutes, and they agreed that dialogue with North Korea should continue. Here's the announcement yesterday at the Blue House. "The two leaders agreed that the recent situation on the Korean Peninsula is grave, and they acknowledged the need to maintain the momentum for successful dialogue on denuclearization negotiations between North Korea and the U.S." The Blue House says the talks were held at President Trump's request, and the two leaders agreed to talk whenever necessary. A senior official at the top office said it's difficult to reveal what kind of detailed measures were discussed. But the official said the leaders did not discuss other issues like defense cost-sharing for American troops in Korea or the military intel-sharing pact with Japan. 2019-12-08 N. Korea claims 'important' test conducted at Sohae satellite site North Korea claims it conducted a "very important test" on Saturday at its Sohae Satellite Launching Ground. Pyeongyang's state-run Korean Central News Agency carried a statement Sunday issued by the North's Academy of National Defence Science. It says the test was successful and the results were reported to the Central Committee of the North's ruling party meaning, essentially, the regime's leader Kim Jong-un. The results, it said, will help the North change its strategic position. Sohae Satellite Launching Ground refers to the North's missile engine test site in Dongchang-ri. It's the one that the regime partially dismantled last year after the Kim-Trump summit in Singapore in June and promised to completely dismantle at the inter-Korean summit in last September. A couple of days ago, CNN had reported some new activity observed at the site, suggesting that the North was moving to resume missile engine tests. Pyeongyang didn't provide details on what exactly it tested on Saturday. But experts think it was a solid fuel engine. The North has been working to acquire solid fuel missiles because they're quicker to launch and harder to detect. The North's latest test implies that the regime could, at any time, resume the ICBM tests that have been on hold since November 2017. The North is further pressing the U.S. to show flexibility in the nuclear talks by the end of the year. Pyeongyang has warned that it will walk a "new path" if those negotiations don't bear fruit by year's end. It has recently said its Christmas present for America is completely up to the U.S. to decide. Oh Jung-hee, Arirang News. 2019-12-09
