Lee Jae Myung 일본 다카이치 신임 총리 “한일관계 미래지향적 발전 기대” Japan’s new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi says she would like to meet with President Lee Jae Myung and continue developing future-oriented ties. This came on Tuesday, as she held her first press conference upon taking office. "I would like to see Japan and South Korea develop a future-oriented and stable relationship. I hope to hold talks with the President I love Korean food. I use Korean cosmetics. I watch Korean dramas. And should a chance to meet the President arise in the future, I will gladly take it." She also underscored trilateral cooperation with Seoul and Washington in responding to North Korea, while voicing expectations ahead of the APEC Leaders Meeting in Gyeongju next week, which would be her first major multilateral stage. Takaichi further expressed appreciation for Korean culture. The message contrasts sharply with her past hardline stance on historical and territorial disputes, and her controversial visits to the Yasukuni Shrine honouring Japan's Class A war criminals. At home, she has vowed swift measures against inflation and appointed several conservative figures to her first Cabinet. #Japan #Prime_Minister #SanaeTakaichi #LDP #Diplomacy #일본 #총리 #다카이치사나에 #외교 #한일관계 #Arirang_News #아리랑뉴스 📣 Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/arirangtvnews 📣 Twitter : https://twitter.com/arirangtvnews 📣 Homepage : https://v2.arirang.com/ 2025-10-22, 20:00 (KST) yt:video:-nMdma5rClg -nMdma5rClg UCzznO4xSV8BKnUBPyswtCUw Arirang News https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzznO4xSV8BKnUBPyswtCUw 2025-10-22T13:23:23+00:00 2025-10-22T13:31:20+00:00 South Korean student’s murder in Cambodia linked to 2023 Gangnam drug case: NIS 국정원, 캄보디아서 살해된 한국인 유학생 대치동 마약 사건과 연관있다 밝혀 South Korea’s National Intelligence Service has uncovered a link between a Korean student’s murder in Cambodia and a 2023 Gangnam drug scandal. Park Jun-han has the latest. The National Intelligence Service confirmed on Wednesday that the main suspect in the brutal killing of a South Korean university student in Cambodia was an accomplice of the mastermind behind the 2023 Gangnam "drugged drink" scandal, where South Korean minors were targeted with a so-called "drug drink" made by mixing methamphetamine with milk. Regarding organized crime, the intelligence agency also dispatched a rapid response team to Cambodia earlier this month under the directive of President Lee Jae Myung, who ordered the agency to “eradicate the scam network completely, no matter what it takes.” The agency also estimates that between one-thousand and two-thousand South Koreans are involved in "romance scam crimes" occurring in Cambodia. On the same day, an on-site government audit was held at the Korean Embassy in Cambodia. The embassy reported to the National Assembly Foreign Affairs and Unification Committee that around one-hundred abduction and confinement cases remain unresolved out of 5-hundred-50 reported over the past two years. While 450 victims were rescued or released, cases surged from less than 20 in 2023 to 2-hundred-20 in 2024 and 3-hundred-30 by August 2025. Lawmakers from South Korea criticized the embassy’s response to the abduction and confinement crimes targeting Koreans and urged a thorough response. On the judicial side, a Seoul court found three South Koreans guilty of luring a friend to a Cambodian voice phishing group. The main suspect received a 10-year prison term for orchestrating the victim’s 20-day captivity, during which his bank account was exploited for fraud. Two accomplices were sentenced to five years and three-and-a-half years, respectively. The victim, deceived by their false promises, was rescued by South Korean Embassy staff in Cambodia. The South Korean authorities are sparing no effort in a crackdown on these transnational crimes as they are actively collaborating with the Cambodian police and international agencies to rescue victims and dismantle the criminal networks.

Our Moon Ji-young was there with this report. In the midst of a paradigm shift driven by AI, the future competitiveness of the semiconductor ecosystem is becoming increasingly crucial. Against this backdrop, marking its 27th anniversary, the Semiconductor Exhibition commenced in Seoul on Wednesday, showcasing the entire spectrum of the semiconductor industry's supply chain. “In the AI era, with semiconductor technology at the core, this year's event highlights the seamless integration of Korea's semiconductor ecosystem: design, manufacturing, and post-processing.” Samsung Electronics unveiled a physical HBM4, a 6th-generation high-bandwidth memory chip. The company has not only completed development of its 12-layer HBM4 but is also actively accelerating preparations for mass production. Furthermore, Samsung showcased its broad portfolio, ranging from the 7th-generation GDDR7 graphics DRAM, currently supplied in large volumes to NVIDIA, to advanced system semiconductors and foundry services. Meanwhile, another industry leader, SK hynix, prominently positioned its HBM4 exhibition at the booth's center. Notably, the company had already supplied HBM4 samples to key customers such as NVIDIA as early as March, outpacing its competitors. It also introduced innovative memory module solutions specifically optimized for data centers and AI servers, alongside advanced storage solutions tailored for AI data centers and cloud infrastructure. Beyond these industry giants, fabless firms showcased their latest innovations, including intellectual property technology, logic processing units, and vehicle-to-infrastructure solutions. Furthermore, domestic materials, parts, and equipment companies demonstrated their advanced manufacturing technologies, underpinning the entire semiconductor production process. Running through this Friday, the show brings together 280 global semiconductor manufacturing and equipment companies exhibiting across 700 booths, and is expected to attract more than 60,000 industry professionals.

I'm Kim Mok-yeon. As the APEC Leaders' Meeting kicks off soon in South Korea, diplomatic activity is accelerating on all fronts. U.S. President Trump is turning up the heat on Beijing with a new rare earth deal with Australia, signaling sharper pressure ahead of possible talks with Xi Jinping. There's even speculation about a surprise meeting with Kim Jong-un at Panmunjeom. Meanwhile, Seoul prepares for back-to-back summits with both Washington and Beijing — all as Japan enters a new political chapter with hardline conservative Sanae Takaichi now in office. With overlapping flashpoints and fast-moving shifts, the Lee administration’s “practical diplomacy” is about to face one of its toughest tests yet. For more on this, we connect to Andrew Millard, Assistant Professor of International Relations at Changwon National University. A big welcome. Also joining us is Hannah Kim, Associate Professor at Sogang University GSIS. Good to see you again. 1. (Millard) Let’s start with this — President Trump has decided to strengthen cooperation with Australia on rare earths and critical minerals in response to China’s tighter export controls. Some view this as a strategic move to raise pressure ahead of U.S.-China talks at APEC. How do you see this? 2. (Kim) Meanwhile, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng are expected to meet. The two previously played key roles in brokering a trade truce during the tariff war. Could this meeting signal any improvement in U.S.-China relations? 3. (Millard) Now turning to the summit front — President Trump reconfirmed his plans to meet with Xi Jinping in Korea, saying a “fantastic deal” could be reached. If the U.S.-China summit takes place, what variables will shape its outcome? 4. (Kim) On a related note, there’s growing speculation that President Trump could meet Kim Jong-un at Panmunjeom during APEC. How realistic is a revival of U.S.-North Korea talks? And do you expect North Korea to make any statement before APEC? 5. (Kim) Meanwhile, North Korea has just launched a ballistic missile — its first since the Lee Jae-myung administration took office. The launch comes roughly a week ahead of the APEC Summit and President Trump’s visit to Seoul. What do you make of the timing? What might Pyongyang be signaling here? 6. (Millard) Switching gears — just ahead of APEC, the Trump administration is reportedly replacing its acting ambassador to South Korea. Kevin Kim, Deputy Assistant Secretary for East Asian and Pacific Affairs, is being mentioned as a possible successor. With President Trump’s visit approaching, what’s behind this sudden change? 7. (Kim) Now looking at the U.S.-Korea agenda — a bilateral summit is also set during Trump’s visit. There’s been word of real progress in tariff negotiations, which had previously stalled. Could a deal be finalized during APEC? And what should we be watching for? 8. (Millard) Looking at Seoul’s broader diplomacy — South Korea is planning summits with both the U.S. and China during APEC. Many see this as a key test for the Lee administration’s “pragmatic diplomacy” approach. What kind of strategy and posture will South Korea need going in? 9. (Kim) Turning to Japan — yesterday on the 21st, Sanae Takaichi was elected as Japan’s new Prime Minister. She’s widely known as a staunch conservative. How might her leadership impact Korea-Japan relations and trilateral cooperation with the U.S.? 10. (Millard) And lastly — the Korean and Japanese leaders are expected to meet for the first time at APEC. In line with Seoul’s pragmatic approach, what diplomatic tone and strategy should the Yoon government take with Japan’s new leadership? Thank you for your insights PROF. MILLARD and PROF.KIM, we appreciate it. #APEC #APEC_2025_Summit #Diplomacy #Rivalry #Potential #AndrewMillard #HannahKim #APEC_정상회의 #외교 #미중경쟁 #북미회담 #Arirang_News #아리랑뉴스 📣 Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/arirangtvnews 📣 Twitter : https://twitter.com/arirangtvnews 📣 Homepage : https://v2.arirang.com/ 2025-10-22, 20:30 (KST) yt:video:1IEXmMr4oXc 1IEXmMr4oXc UCzznO4xSV8BKnUBPyswtCUw Arirang News https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzznO4xSV8BKnUBPyswtCUw 2025-10-22T11:59:13+00:00 2025-10-22T13:12:37+00:00 [LIVE] NEWSCENTER (2025-10-22) ▪ S.

Korea threat: NATO Deputy Secretary General 러–북 군사 협력 심화•방위비 부담 증대 속 “한국은 필수적 파트너”: 나토 사무차장 단독 인터뷰 NATO's deputy chief has called for cooperation with South Korea to address mutual security concerns especially in light of North Korea's military pact with Russia. Arirang's Oh Soo-young covers her comments AS SHARED in this exclusive interview. Your Excellency, Deputy Secretary General of NATO, Radmila Shekerinska. Thank you for joining us today. Good evening. Nice to be here. We're living at a time when the United States is calling on its allies to step up, invest more in defense, and pay more for their own security. How does a partnership with South Korea contribute to that effort for NATO? You're absolutely right. There were strong calls from various sides within the alliance that we need to spend more on our defense because in the present changed global security environment, we need to invest more. We have seen a more aggressive Russia. We have seen the threat that Russia poses to almost all of their neighbors, and it was very important that NATO keeps the technological edge, keeps the military advantages that we have always had, and for this we need to invest more. We won't change the defense spending overnight, but some of the allies have actually moved to almost 5 percent even as we speak, and this shows a clear sense of leadership and purpose. We're also investing a lot in our innovation because spending this money has to come up in parallel with more research and development, more innovation, and adding this innovation into defense and military capabilities. And this is also an area in which we do cooperate with our partners, and we value very much the cooperation that we had with the Republic of Korea. We cooperate in issues such as space cyber. We cooperate on the usage of artificial intelligence in defense. All these issues contribute to countries being able to spend more, but also being competent and ready to spend better and smarter. North Korea showcased new intercontinental ballistic missiles equipped with solid fuel engines, along with hypersonics last week at this massive military parade that they had. What kind of growing threats do the allies face when it comes to Moscow and Pyongyang's military and technological cooperation? The security in the Euro-Atlantic influences the security in the Indo-Pacific and vice versa. But we have seen these theaters even more interconnected after the Russian war against Ukraine, seeing North Korean troops present there and fighting on behalf of Russia was a very clear signal to a much, much deeper and stronger military cooperation between Russia and the DPRK. What was visible on the battlefield became visible also in other fields. So it was clear that North Korea is profiting from experience in war fighting, lessons in strategy in this new warfare, but also from technology transfer. And this practically deeper military cooperation is a source of concern on both sides in the Euro-Atlantic but also in the Indo-Pacific. And this is why the security is now very rarely seen just in regional context but much more globally. But this is also one of the reasons due to which our cooperation with the partners in the Pacific is crucial. It is necessary and it's beneficial for both. North Korea is definitely profiting from Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine. But at the same time, though, North Korean regime leader Kim Jong-un has pretty much signaled that he's ready to talk with U.S. President Donald Trump. () From a Euro-Atlantic perspective, what kind of progress do you hope to see if this high-profile meeting happens? Well, I have no doubts. NATO, in essence, is a defensive alliance. So we have always supported efforts to reach peace agreements, and we have been very supportive to a dialogue on difficult issues. We have supported President Trump's efforts to broker a peace agreement, or initially a ceasefire, between Russia and Ukraine. And we have continued our support to Ukraine throughout this period so that Ukraine can negotiate from a position of strength. And this is why we believe that it is our duty to help Ukraine in this fight. But our goal is to help Ukraine get to the negotiating table and ensure a sustainable, lasting peace. So this is our policy when it comes to all conflicts. This is our policy when it comes to issues of global security... #SouthKorea #Russia #NorthKorea #NATO #Military #Cooperation #Security #RadmilaShekerinska #대한민국 #러시아 #북한 #나토 #군사 #협력 #안보 #Arirang_News #아리랑뉴스 📣 Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/arirangtvnews 📣 Twitter : https://twitter.com/arirangtvnews 📣 Homepage : https://v2.arirang.com/ 2025-10-22, 17:00 (KST) yt:video:klJ4sUyGl4s klJ4sUyGl4s UCzznO4xSV8BKnUBPyswtCUw Arirang News https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzznO4xSV8BKnUBPyswtCUw 2025-10-22T10:08:51+00:00 2025-10-22T10:16:35+00:00 S. Korean officials head back to U.S. for tariff negotiations on Wed. 김용범 "의견 많이 좁혔으나 한두가지 대립… 국익맞는 타결시도" Just days after returning from trade talks in the U.S. South Korean officials were back on a plane earlier on this Wednesday headed for Washington, D.C. Our Kim Bo-kyoung reports. Presidential Chief of Staff for Policy Kim Yong-beom and Industry Minister Kim Jung-kwan departed for Washington, D.C. on Wednesday once again, for tariff negotiations with the U.S. It has only been a few days since the two officials returned from earlier trips to D.C., during which they talked to U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to finalize the details of the 350-billion U.S. dollar investment package. Before heading out to the U.S., they told reporters they were going there to discuss one or two remaining issues. "It looks like we’ll be tense until the very end. We’ll do our best to make sure our national interests are protected until the last moment." When it comes to the possibility of reaching the agreement by the upcoming summit between presidents Lee and Trump that will be held in line with the APEC Leaders' meeting, the presidential chief of staff for policy said the government is not considering signing an MOU based only on a partial agreement while leaving key issues unresolved just because of the event. If the trade agreement does get reached, other results that were made during the previous summit between the two leaders would also be able to be announced as they could not be unveiled due to unresolved parts related to trade at that time. "If the trade MOU and related issues are finalized, the trade results will be announced too. I also expect that many of the key achievements tentatively agreed at the Washington summit can be made public together." He added that security and other issues are being coordinated by National Security Advisor Wi Sung-lac at the National Security Office.” Meanwhile, the impact of U.S. tariffs is starting to show in Korea Customs Service data, with exports to the U.S. for the first 20 days of October plunging 24-point-7 percent compared to the previous year. Even considering there were two less working days during this period, exports to the U.S. were still down more than ten percent. Total exports to all countries from October 1st to 20th totaled 30-point-one-five billion dollars, down seven-point-eight percent from the same period last year, largely due to that fall in exports to the U.S. Kim Bo-kyoung, Arirang News. #SouthKorea #UnitedStates #Trade #Tariff #Trade_negotiations #대한민국 #미국 #무역 #관세 #관세_협상 #Arirang_News #아리랑뉴스 📣 Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/arirangtvnews 📣 Twitter : https://twitter.com/arirangtvnews 📣 Homepage : https://v2.arirang.com/ 2025-10-22, 17:00 (KST) yt:video:O13xnlwTa6Y O13xnlwTa6Y UCzznO4xSV8BKnUBPyswtCUw Arirang News https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzznO4xSV8BKnUBPyswtCUw 2025-10-22T10:05:33+00:00 2025-10-22T10:09:24+00:00 South Korean student’s murder in Cambodia linked to 2023 Gangnam drug case: NIS 국정원, 캄보디아서 살해된 한국인 유학생 대치동 마약 사건과 연관있다 밝혀 Back on the local front. Intelligence officials have shared a disturbing link between the murder of the Korean student in Cambodia this past summer and a drug scam targeting teenagers here back in 2023. Park Jun-han explains. The National Intelligence Service confirmed on Wednesday that the main suspect in the brutal killing of a South Korean university student in Cambodia was an accomplice of the mastermind behind the 2023 Gangnam "drugged drink" scandal, where South Korean minors were targeted with a so-called "drug drink" made by mixing methamphetamine with milk. Regarding organized crime, the intelligence agency also dispatched a rapid response team to Cambodia earlier this month under the directive of President Lee Jae Myung, who ordered the agency to “eradicate the scam network completely, no matter what it takes.” The agency also estimates that between one-thousand and two-thousand South Koreans are involved in "romance scam crimes" occurring in Cambodia. Meanwhile, the Gyeonggi Nambu Provincial Police Agency is deploying all resources to locate 15 South Koreans who have not returned home, and were reported missing in the southern part of Gyeonggi-do Province. According to the reports, 2 of the 15 non-returnees were reached and are reportedly being held captive in Cambodia. One man in his 20s claimed he was kidnapped, and a ransom demand for 20-thousand U.S. Tether, or 30 million Korean won in cryptocurrency, was made to his family. The remaining case involves a woman in her 20s, whose family stated, “Our daughter went to Cambodia and has since lost contact. We suspect she is being held captive.” On the judicial side, a Seoul court found three South Koreans guilty of luring a friend to a Cambodian voice phishing group. The main suspect received a 10-year prison term for orchestrating the victim’s 20-day captivity, during which his bank account was exploited for fraud. Two accomplices were sentenced to five years and three-and-a-half years, respectively. The victim, deceived by their false promises, was rescued by South Korean embassy staff in Cambodia.

Korea's Assembly committee carries out on-site audit in Cambodia over crimes targeting Koreans 캄보디아대사관 등 해외공관서 오늘 국감… 한국인 범죄피해 현안 And in related news. South Korean lawmakers carried out an on-site audit of their embassy in Cambodia amid soaring criminal activity targeting Korean nationals there. During the audit on Wednesday lawmakers criticized what they called a complacent response by the embassy citing media reports that officials told victims to report kidnappings directly to the local police. Accordingly they highlighted the need for an emergency manual by the embassy to address abduction and confinement incidents involving South Koreans. After the audit lawmakers of the Legislation and Judiciary Committee also made their way to a so-called "scam compound" and met with Cambodian police officials to discuss stronger partnership in protecting Koreans in the Southeast Asian country. #NationalAssembly #Audit #Cambodia #Korean #Crime #국정감사 #캄보디아 #한국인 #범죄피해 #Arirang_News #아리랑뉴스 📣 Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/arirangtvnews 📣 Twitter : https://twitter.com/arirangtvnews 📣 Homepage : https://v2.arirang.com/ 2025-10-22, 17:00 (KST) yt:video:WYTnBiRXqzc WYTnBiRXqzc UCzznO4xSV8BKnUBPyswtCUw Arirang News https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzznO4xSV8BKnUBPyswtCUw 2025-10-22T09:53:33+00:00 2025-10-22T10:06:43+00:00 N. Korea launches SRBMs ahead of APEC in S. Korea next week 북, 5개월여만에 탄도미사일 발사… 트럼프 방한 앞두고 도발 North Korea launched a series of short-range ballistic missiles earlier on this Wednesday as South Korea delves into final preparations for its hosting of global leaders for the APEC gathering and more next week. Kim Do-yeon covers this latest display of defiance. North Korea fired short-range ballistic missiles at around 8:10 AM on Wednesday, its first launch of this kind in more than five months. South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said the missiles were launched from the regime's Hwanghaebuk-do Province, just south of Pyongyang, and traveled approximately 350 kilometers northeast. According to local reports, the missiles are believed to have fallen on land rather than in the sea. This marks North Korea’s first ballistic missile provocation since President Lee Jae-myung took office in early June. The JCS said it has shared intelligence on the launch with the U.S. and Japan, and that Seoul's military is maintaining a full readiness posture. The Presidential Office also stated that the National Security Council held an emergency military readiness review to assess the launch's impact. It added that the government will closely monitor the North for additional launches and review necessary measures. The provocation comes ahead of the APEC Leaders Meeting in South Korea next week, which U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are scheduled to attend. Experts say the launch was a message of pressure aimed at the U.S. "When the North Korea issue is discussed during the APEC period, Pyongyang's message is that the denuclearization issue is absolutely impossible. This also contains a message of pressure toward the U.S., telling America to come forward while remembering demands for the suspension of ROK-U.S. military drills and the recognition of its nuclear status." The launch also comes 12 days after a military parade in Pyongyang to mark the 80th anniversary of the Workers' Party where it showed off its arsenal, including its latest ICBM which experts say can be tested soon as well.
