I'm Kim Mok-yeon. One of Trump’s boldest economic weapons is now on trial. The U.S. Supreme Court is hearing whether the president had the legal authority to slap massive tariffs under emergency powers, a ruling that could redefine the scope of executive trade policy. All these developments come as America is stuck in its longest-ever government shutdown, grinding federal services to a halt and shaking investor confidence. And in South Korea, the nation is unveiling its biggest budget yet, 728 trillion won, focused on AI and future industries. But with deep political division, its execution remains uncertain. Tonight, we connect the dots across two economies facing high-stakes turning points. For this we connect with Kim Yong-jin, a Professor at Sogang Business School. Welcome. Also joining us is Hwagyun Kim, Professor of Banking and Finance at Texas A&M Univ., Mays Business School. Good to see you. 1. (Yongjin) Let’s begin with the major legal battle unfolding in Washington. President Trump's high-stakes tariffs, grounded in the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, are now under Supreme Court review. How do you interpret the legal weight of this case, and could it end up redefining the boundaries of presidential authority on trade? 2. (Hwagyun) So over 90 billion dollars in tariffs have already been paid under IEEPA. Prof. Hwagyun, If the Court rules these tariffs unconstitutional, would the government be forced to refund that money? What kind of legal and economic complexities are we looking at? 3. (Hwagyun) And even if those tariffs are struck down, Trump still has Section 232 as a backup, citing national security. How does that legal framework compare in terms of flexibility and presidential authority? 4. (Yongjin) And beyond the legal tools, there’s also the geopolitical angle. Trump has used tariff power as a bargaining chip in trade negotiations. If that authority is scaled back, could it weaken U.S. leverage or trigger pushback from trade partners Prof. Yongjin? 5. (Hwagyun) Now to the political paralysis that’s unfolding alongside. The U.S. shutdown is already impacting federal workers, food assistance, and air travel. From a financial market perspective, Prof. Hwagyun, how much could this shake investor confidence? 6. (Yongjin) And building on that, there’s growing speculation the prolonged shutdown could lead to a U.S. credit rating downgrade. How real is that risk Prof.Yongjin—and how might global markets react if it happens? 7. (Hwagyun) With legal and political dysfunction on multiple fronts, how do you gauge the risk for the U.S.to lose credibility as a global economic leader Prof. Hwagyun? 8. (Yongjin) Let’s turn now to South Korea. President Lee is proposing a 728 trillion won budget, branding it the country’s first “AI-era” budget. Prof. Yongjin, from a macroeconomic perspective, does this signal a meaningful shift in industrial policy? And how are markets likely to respond? 9. (Yongjin) Now zooming in on the budget’s fiscal side, The AI budget expansion has sparked concerns about fiscal sustainability. Given Korea’s growing debt and its non-reserve currency status, how serious are the long-term risks? 10. (Hwagyun) Finally, looking at Seoul’s political deadlock— If Korea’s budget impasse drags on, how might global investors interpret the delay Prof. Hwagyun? Could it affect Korea’s policy credibility or long-term competitiveness? Thank you for your insights Prof , and Prof. , we appreciate it. #UnitedStates #President #DonaldTrump #Tariff #Supreme_Court #Trial #AI #KimYongJin #HwagyunKim #미국 #대통령 #도널드트럼프 #대법원 #관세 #심리 #Arirang_News #아리랑뉴스 📣 Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/arirangtvnews 📣 Twitter : https://twitter.com/arirangtvnews 📣 Homepage : https://v2.arirang.com/ 2025-11-06, 20:30 (KST) yt:video:UOzgRd2jXio UOzgRd2jXio UCzznO4xSV8BKnUBPyswtCUw Arirang News https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzznO4xSV8BKnUBPyswtCUw 2025-11-06T10:24:04+00:00 2025-11-06T10:27:53+00:00 S. Korea posts US$ 13.47 billion current account surplus in September 9월 경상수지 135억달러 흑자… 반도체 수출호조에 동월기준 최대 로그인 Speaking of trade but here in South Korea. Steady exports of semiconductors kept South Korea's current account in the black in September for the 29th month in a row. Our correspondent Kim Do-yeon covers the latest numbers. South Korea’s current account surplus continued for the 29th month straight in September, driven by strong exports. The Bank of Korea announced Thursday that the preliminary current account surplus registered for the month stood at 13-point-4-7 billion U.S. dollars, the largest for any previous September. This is also second highest monthly surplus for any month since the year 2000 and considering the surplus this year from January to September, it's the highest ever for the period with 82-point7-7 billion dollars about 23 percent higher than the same period last year. "The biggest factor here is the boom in semiconductor exports, as the industry has entered a super-cycle. In non-IT items, while automobile exports to the U.S. have declined, the sector is performing well, supported by export diversification to Europe and other regions." According to officials, this figure in September was driven by a 14-point-24 billion dollar surplus in the goods account. Exports rose 9-point-6 percent from the previous year, while imports increased by 4-point-5 percent. Compared to the month before, it's up 4-point-8-4 billion dollars. However, the services account deficit widened to 3-point-3-2 billion dollars larger than the previous month and the same month last year. This was partly because the transport balance swung to a deficit for the first time in five months. Looking ahead, the central bank expects the surplus to shrink in October due to fewer working days from the Chuseok holiday but forecasts a return to a strong surplus trend for November and December.

The government's budget proposal for next year is under scrutiny with rival lawmakers clashing over spending size and fiscal direction. Our National Assembly Correspondent Moon Hye-ryeon has the latest. Ruling and opposition lawmakers held a comprehensive policy inquiry into South Korea’s largest-ever budget proposal on Thursday, sparring over its overall scale and spending priorities. Prime Minister Kim Min-seok and Finance Minister Koo Yun-cheol opened the session with remarks outlining the government’s position on the 728-trillion-won budget for 2026. Kim stressed the need for proactive fiscal measures to support growth and recovery — particularly in people’s daily lives — while also addressing concerns over long-term fiscal sustainability. "In drawing up this year’s budget, the government carried out a record 27-trillion-won expenditure restructuring and prepared a range of measures to ensure fiscal sustainability." He said the budget centers on three areas: building an innovative economy, strengthening the social foundation so all citizens can grow together, and bolstering national security and diplomacy with a focus on public safety and the national interest. Koo added remarks on the urgency of the situation and asked lawmakers to process the bill before the December 2nd deadline. "If key projects like developing advanced industries, reviving local economies, and easing household burdens are not carried out on time, the 728-trillion-won budget cannot deliver its full impact." The ruling Democratic Party echoed the government’s view, arguing that the proposal puts meaningful resources toward cultivating long-term growth engines. But the main opposition People Power Party warned that expanded spending could undermine fiscal soundness. One PPP lawmaker also criticized the government’s tariff agreement with the United States — which includes a 350-billion-dollar investment package — noting that National Assembly approval is required when policies impose a heavy financial burden on the state or the public. A DP lawmaker, meanwhile, pointed to rising domestic demand, improving consumer sentiment, and gains in the stock market as evidence of the Lee administration’s economic achievements and justification for its expansionary fiscal approach. The policy inquiry continues Friday, with full deliberations for each government ministry set to begin next week.

Korea become top 3 leader in AI with 260,000 NVIDIA GPUs? AI 3대 강국의 신호탄인가? 엔비디아 최신 GPU 26만장이 시사하는 점 At the APEC CEO Summit in Gyeongju last week NVIDIA pledged 260-thousand advanced GPUs for South Korea. So what are the implications of this investment for the country? Our business correspondent Park Jun-han takes a look. With the supply of 260,000 NVIDIA GPUs, South Korea has the capacity to become one of the world's top three AI countries. This is what Presidential Senior Secretary for AI and Future Planning Ha Jung-woo said last Friday, the day the government and industrial giants announced the GPU supply deal with the world's most advanced chipmaker. Although it might seem impressive to hold hundreds of thousands of GPUs, it's natural to wonder what this number actually signifies and what they will be used for. "Artificial intelligence — from large language models to physical AI — demands tremendous computing power for training, which is why the NVIDIA GPUs will play a critical role. With 260,000 secured, South Korea now ranks among the global top three, positioning us not just to build AI models but to develop core AI technologies that drive innovation across industries." A professor here also claims that early access to chips from NVIDIA, which dominates 90 percent of the advanced semiconductor market, marks a significant milestone, positioning South Korea to gain a competitive edge. "Since NVIDIA holds nearly 90 percent of the global GPU market, high-performance GPUs, essential for advanced physical robots, can realistically only be sourced from NVIDIA. With tens of thousands of GPUs operating like supercomputers, data centers are being built to support large-scale AI training. As more of these systems are established, we expect South Korea’s AI ecosystem to grow exponentially." Securing high-performance GPUs is certainly encouraging, but how they are used, for what purposes, and how effectively they are allocated may prove just as crucial as obtaining the chips themselves. This will be a key factor shaping South Korea's future with AI.

The U.S. launched an intercontinental ballistic missile back on Wednesday while on the same day Russia looked to its prospects of resuming nuclear weapons testing. Our defense correspondent Kim Bo-kyoung has details. Just six days after President Donald Trump urged the U.S. military to restart nuclear weapons testing, the U.S. on Wednesday fired a Minuteman-3 intercontinental ballistic missile. According to the Air Force Global Strike Command, the unarmed nuclear-capable missile was launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The rocket traveled around 6-thousand-8-hundred-60 kilometers. landing near the Ronald Reagan Ballistic Missile Defense Test Site in the Marshall Islands. This follows after Trump announced on social media, just one hour before holding a summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping on October 30th, that he instructed the Pentagon to resume nuclear weapons testing. He did, however, hint at working on a joint denuclearization plan with Russia and China. "We did our nuclear, we're the number one nuclear power, which I hate to admit, because it's so horrible. Will they be working on a plan to denuclearize, the three of us? We'll see if that works." His remarks came during a Miami business forum, and amid growing concerns about nuclear proliferation and strategic competition between the world’s leading powers. No specific plan or details came out from the White House regarding his comments, though. Meanwhile, responding to the U.S., Russian President Vladimir Putin, on the same day on Wednesday, ordered his top officials to submit proposals on possible nuclear weapons testing. In a televised meeting with his Security Council, he said Moscow had always strictly adhered to the obligations not to do any tests, but it would do so if any other nuclear power had started. "Russia has always strictly adhered to its obligations under the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty, and we have no plans to withdraw from it. At the same time, as I stated in my address to the Federal Assembly in 2023, should the United States or other treaty signatories conduct such tests, Russia would be compelled to take appropriate reciprocal measures." Russian Defense Minister told Putin that Washington's recent remarks clearly demonstrate active buildup of strategic offensive weapons with the chief of the General Staff adding Russia should respond effectively to such actions. To this, Putin asked all the ministries and relevant agencies to do everything necessary to collect additional information on this issue, analyze it, and draft proposals.

Cha Yun-kyung has a glimpse. This is "5-han House" an exhibition space located in the K-Business Square at the Gyeongju Expo Grand Park. Here, visitors can experience five elements of traditional Korean culture: "Hansik" or Korean cuisine; "Hangeul," the Korean alphabet; "Hanji," traditional paper; "Hanbok," clothing; and "Hanok," a traditional house. Foreign visitors can use AI to draw Korean traditional paintings or practice writing their English names in Hangeul. Although Korean culture may feel unfamiliar to them, it is perceived as something as innovative and refreshing as cutting-edge technology. "It gave us an idea of how Korea has five different pillars of Korean culture. So very nice, very happy to be here." They can practice traditional calligraphy and enjoy pansori, or Korean folk music performances. These unique Korean cultural experiences provided a refreshing break from their hectic schedules and allowed them to relax. Captivated by the charm of Korean traditions, foreign visitors went to Gyeongju’s Gyochon Hanok Village. There, they explored tiled-roof houses lined with stone walls, experiencing the essence of Korean heritage. "It's very traditional, and also incredibly beautiful. For me, I really enjoyed the food. It's amazing and very varied. People here are very friendly and welcoming." The 5-han house will reopen from November 10th until the 23rd after a revision, welcoming visitors every day from 9 AM until 6 PM.

It's Thursday November 6th here in Seoul. I'm Min Sunhee. Quite a number of Gen Z members appear to be seeking comfort in dramas that delve into a past that took place well before their time. For more on this phenomenon AND related trends I have freelance journalist David Lee. David it's good to have you here. I also have freelance journalist Raphael Rashid with us. Raphael welcome back. 1) David, for the sake of our viewers who have not read your article, do give us a rundown including details of your interviews with members of the Gen Z here. 2) Raphael, so Gen Z are finding comfort in a past they did not experience. What do you believe are the deeper generational anxieties driving this nostalgia? 3) David, do you suppose the Gen Z who watch these nostalgia-driven dramas are also walking away with a renewed sense of determination about their future? 4) Raphael, what would you choose to underscore as the general appeal of these retro dramas, if you will, for the broader audience? 5) David, do you foresee a greater number of similar screen productions here in Korea going forward? 6) Meanwhile Raphael, the Economist recently published an article about "how East Asian pop culture is inspiring Gen Z protests". Again, what is the gist of this coverage, and what are your takeaways? 7) And David, for the sake of context, do remind us about the influence of K-pop during South Korea's own public protests following its short-lived martial law. What was seen and heard on the ground? 8) Raphael, pundits say pop culture strongly influences politics as it shapes public opinion and mobilizes voters. Do you believe K-pop inspired protests, if you will, served to boost political interest among the youth here in Korea? 9) David, we have some time left, so I'd like to touch upon another article by you with regard to our Gen Z in which you seek to explain why they "are falling prey to scam operations in Southeast Asia". Do tell us more. 10) Raphael, you recently wrote an article about tattooists in South Korea "winning legal recognition" amid the shift in attitude among the Gen Z here with regard to self expression and more. Do walk us through your story and your takeaways while covering it. All right. #GenZ #Generation #Nostalgia #Pop_Culture #K_pop #K_content #Drama #Screen #DavidLee #RaphaelRashid #Z세대 #대한민국 #대중문화 #세대 #드라마 #영화 #향수 #Arirang_News #아리랑뉴스 📣 Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/arirangtvnews 📣 Twitter : https://twitter.com/arirangtvnews 📣 Homepage : https://v2.arirang.com/ 2025-11-06, 17:30 (KST) yt:video:52zbtT7ofW0 52zbtT7ofW0 UCzznO4xSV8BKnUBPyswtCUw Arirang News https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzznO4xSV8BKnUBPyswtCUw 2025-11-06T09:10:57+00:00 2025-11-06T09:39:22+00:00 [LIVE] THE DAILY REPORT (2025-11-06) ▪ Supreme Court trial on Trump tariffs begins ▪ S.

Let’s talk about the latest K-pop trends, with our K-pop expert Jeff Benjamin, who is now connected with us. Welcome back Jeff! Q1. Jeff, it’s hard to tell when the best time for a song release or a comeback is, because every month seems to be busy in the K-pop world. But how is the K-pop lineup looking in the month of November? Q2. Let’s get into more details and start with solo acts. Former Wonder Girls member Sunmi is releasing her first full-length album and Super Junior’s Kyuhyun is returning too. These are second generation idols. What do you make of these veteran artists’ comebacks? Q3. And now to some big boy groups. Who’s back in the scene this month and what transformations or notable points should we look out for? Q4. Then we have the MC of the recent APEC gala dinner, Cha Eun-woo, whose album will be released soon. Don't forget he’s serving in the military right now. Having things ready to release while you’re in the army has almost become the norm now, right? Q5. November is also a great time for ballads, which are back on the charts. Why is that, and which ballads are currently trending? Q6. These days, music videos and social media challenges are just as important as the music itself. Are there any noteworthy promotional and marketing strategies you’re seeing lately? Q7. Year-end music awards are approaching as well. How will the comebacks this November impact the year-end competition in the K-pop scene as well as the K-pop direction for next year? Thank you Jeff for that! Always great talking to you. Have a wonderful month of November, filled with K-pop!

This marks his first single in about a year since “Easy Lover.” The new song is a self-written and composed ballad in his signature emotional style. And he teamed up with singer-songwriter Kwon Jin-ah for it. Blending country-pop rhythms with Park Jin-young’s comforting lyrics and Kwon Jin-ah’s delicate vocals, the duet create a soothing synergy designed to ease the fatigue of daily life. The song portrays the small joys of plugging in earphones after a long day and finding quiet happiness on the way home. Park said that he wanted to send comfort and encouragement to everyone living through intense, demanding days. To celebrate the release, Park Jin-young will hold a solo concert titled “Happy Hour” at Kyung Hee University’s Peace Hall in Seoul on December 13th to 14th. Both the new release and the concert will definitely be "happy hours" for his fans. And fans of this next veteran K-pop artist we are covering today, are also happy with a new album? TVXQ! member U-Know Yunho is stepping into a new chapter with his first full-length solo album, “I-KNOW.” This is his first full-length album as a solo artist, and it comes 22 years since his debut. The album, released on Wednesday, unfolds around the concept of ‘fake’ and ‘documentary,’ exploring the duality between U-Know Yunho the artist and Jung Yun-ho the man. “I-KNOW” features 10 tracks in total, led by double title tracks “Stretch” and “Body Language.” Yunho described the new album as his most personal project yet. He shared that he felt ready to reveal a more vulnerable side of him after over two decades in the industry. If you haven’t listened to the album yet, make sure to give it a listen. Can’t believe it's his first full-length solo album. And lastly we have a new release in the field of K-drama? Korean actress Lee You-mi, who gained global popularity through the Netflix hit “Squid Game,” has returned in another Netflix series “As You Stood By”. On Wednesday, a press conference for “As You Stood By” was held at CGV Yongsan I’Park Mall in Seoul with director Lee Jung-lim and lead actors Jeon So-nee, Lee You-mi, Jang Seung-jo, and Lee Mu-saeng. The new series is based on Japanese novel “Naomi and Kanako” and depicts the story of two women, who decide to commit murder after being left with no choice but to kill or be killed. In the series, Lee You-mi delivered a passionate performance as Hui-su, a victim of domestic violence. “As You Stood By” consists of a total of 8 episodes and will be released globally on Netflix on Friday, November 7th.
