Korean to win MLB World Series 스포츠: 김혜성, MLB 월드시리즈 우승 Time now to take a look at what's been happening in the world of sports. We have our sports editor Paul Neat joining us. Hello, Paul. Hello. The roster for the men's national football team was announced this afternoon. Any returns or surprise inclusions? Yes, the squad for the two friendlies in November. There are returns for Cho Gue-sung, who has put his injury issues behind him and is in great form for his club in Denmark, FC Midtjylland. He became a breakout star during the last World Cup, but is back in the squad for the first time in nearly two years. Yang Min-hyeok returns for the first time in eight months, while Kwon Hyeok-kyu of FC Nantes in France is looking for his first cap. Jens Castrop keeps his place in the squad, having made his debut in September. The matches, the last South Korea play this year, are part of preparations for the World Cup next year. Bolivia in Daejeon on Friday, November 14th, then Ghana in Seoul on Tuesday, November 18th. Over the weekend, there were goals for some players on the roster for their clubs. Oh Hyeon-gyu scored in a 1-0 win for Genk in Belgium, while in England, Paik Seung-ho scored in a 4-0 win for Birmingham over Yang Min-hyeok's Portsmouth. Moving on to baseball. A South Korean star has won the World Series. Yes, Kim Hye-seong appeared in Game 7 for the LA Dodgers against the Blue Jays. He is only the second South Korean to get a World Series ring, following Kim Byung-hyun with the Red Sox in 2001. Overall, he's the fifth South Korean to appear, and was the first since Choi Ji-man in 2020. It was Kim's only appearance in the World Series. In Game 7 in Toronto on Saturday, local time, he replaced Miguel Rojas at second base to begin the bottom of the 11th inning. This was after Will Smith had given the Dodgers a 5-4 lead. Kim played 71 times in the regular season, spending time at second base, shortstop, or center field. He hit three home runs, earned 17 RBIs, and 13 steals batting at point-280. The KBO Korean Series, meanwhile, concluded on Friday. Yes, a win for the LG Twins, who also won the regular season. The series went to Game 5 in the best-of-seven series. LG had built up a 2-game lead, winning 8-to-2 and 13-to-5 at home in Seoul. But the Hanwha Eagles won Game 3 at home in Daejeon, offering a ray of hope. But Game 4 on Thursday, also in Daejeon, brought another LG win, setting up Game 5 to be the decider. LG ran out 4-1 winners to make it their second title in three years and fourth overall. Kim Hyun-soo was named MVP, who went nine-for-17 with five walks. And finally, to Son Heung-min and LAFC. Another goal for the South Korea national team captain. Yes, Son on Sunday local time got a goal and an assist. LAFC beat Austin FC in the second match of the MLS Cup Playoffs first round. Son got the game's first goal, 21 minutes in firing into the bottom corner from inside the box. Scorer then turned provider when Son played in Denis Bouanga four minutes later to make it 2-0. It was Son's 10th goal and fourth assist in 12 matches for LAFC. The match finished 4-1, and came after a 2-1 win on Wednesday. Up next is the Vancouver Whitecaps in the next phase at home on Saturday, local time. More to look forward to from Son, then. Thanks for that, Paul. See you next week. Yes, Thank you. #Football #National_team #LAFC #SonHeungmin #MLB #KimHyeseong #WorldSeries #LA_Dodgers #국가대표 #손흥민 #메이저리그 #김혜성 #월드시리즈 #우승 #Arirang_News #아리랑뉴스 📣 Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/arirangtvnews 📣 Twitter : https://twitter.com/arirangtvnews 📣 Homepage : https://v2.arirang.com/ 2025-11-03, 20:00 (KST) yt:video:3eH-NFdcSxo 3eH-NFdcSxo UCzznO4xSV8BKnUBPyswtCUw Arirang News https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzznO4xSV8BKnUBPyswtCUw 2025-11-03T13:20:42+00:00 2025-11-03T13:29:21+00:00 S. Korean defense minister, U.S. counterpart visit JSA ahead of annual defense talks on Tues. 한미 국방장관, 오늘 JSA 함께 방문… "한미연합에 있어 상징적 의미" South Korean Defense Minister Ahn Gyu-back, and U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth visited the Demilitarized Zone on Monday. This was ahead of the allies' annual defense talks, the Security Consultative Meeting slated for the next day. The defense chiefs were briefed on current operations at Observation Post Ouellette, and visited the conference facility in Panmunjeom. With the DMZ being at the forefront of inter-Korean ties and a venue for dialogue between U.S. President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, Minister Ahn underlined that the two defense chiefs' visit to the DMZ itself has a symbolic meaning. The U.S. defense secretary was impressed to see both countries on joint search operations along the MDL, Ahn said, and also surprised to see how close the North Korean villages are to the area. #SouthKorea #UnitedStates #Defense_Minister #AhnGyuback #Defense_Secretary #PeteHegseth #JSA #대한민국 #미국 #국방장관 #피트헤그세스 #안규백 #판문점 #Arirang_News #아리랑뉴스 📣 Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/arirangtvnews 📣 Twitter : https://twitter.com/arirangtvnews 📣 Homepage : https://v2.arirang.com/ 2025-11-03, 20:00 (KST) yt:video:u__DVGdUdvY u__DVGdUdvY UCzznO4xSV8BKnUBPyswtCUw Arirang News https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzznO4xSV8BKnUBPyswtCUw 2025-11-03T13:14:20+00:00 2025-11-03T13:27:49+00:00 [Weather] Sudden cold will be gone from tomorrow afternoon [날씨] 내일 오후부터 다시 평년 기온 되찾아 The early winter cold is here again.

Korea clinches tariff deal with U.S. at APEC; cash investment agreed, steel left out 한미, APEC 계기로 막판 관세 협상 타결… 현금 투자 합의, 철강은 제외 Welcome to Within The Frame, where we bring the most pressing issues across the globe into focus. I'm Kim Mok-yeon. APEC has wrapped up, and with it came a critical breakthrough for South Korea. Seoul and Washington reached a long-delayed tariff agreement after three months of tense talks. The deal includes 200 billion dollars in Korean investment into the U.S., partly in cash and capped annually—a move aimed at reducing market uncertainty. Auto tariffs were lowered to match those for Japan and the EU, but steel was left out, still facing a steep 50% rate. While the government touts the agreement as a win, concerns remain over investment risks and long-term returns. To take an expert's view on the latest achievements, we invite Shin Se Don, Professor of Business Economics at Sookmyung Women’s University. A big welcome. Also joining us is Shim Myungkyu, Associate Professor of Economics at Yonsei University. A big welcome. 1. (Shin Se Don) Let's start with Prof.Shin, one of the key economic outcomes tied to the APEC Summit was the dramatic conclusion of S.Korea–U.S. tariff negotiations. The government says this helps reduce economic uncertainty. Professor, how do you evaluate the overall outcome of this deal? 2. (Shim Myungkyu) Now, looking at the timing, the Korea–U.S. tariff negotiations had dragged on for three months. Prof.Shim, what do you think led to the breakthrough happening just in time for APEC? Would you say the MASGA project worked as a critical leverage point? 3. (Shin Se Don) One of the most contentious issues was regarding the cash investment ratio. The two sides agreed to designate 200 billion dollars of Korea’s investment in the U.S. as cash-based, with a cap of 20 billion annually. Prof.Shin, Would you say this is a positive step in terms of foreign exchange market stability? 4. (Shim Myungkyu) On that note—the government plans to cover the 20 billion per year using returns from foreign exchange reserves. Prof.Shim, If those returns fall short, what concerns does that raise? And what kind of policy safeguards should the government put in place to address that risk? 5. (Shin Se Don) Moving on—the memorandum includes a clause specifying that only “commercially viable projects” will be pursued to increase the chance of principal recovery. Prof.Shin, What standards or processes will be used to judge whether a project is commercially viable? And do you think this clause can serve as a practical safety net? 6. (Shim Myungkyu) Meanwhile—the auto tariff has been reduced from 25% to 15%, now aligned with levels set for Japan and Europe. But some argue that it's still a disadvantage compared to the past rate of zero. Prof.Shim, From the perspective of Korea's auto industry competitiveness, how would you assess this result? 7. (Shin Se Don) However, steel exports are still facing a high 50% tariff. What realistic response strategies can Korea’s steel industry adopt under these conditions Prof.Shin? 8. (Shim Myungkyu) As for semiconductors—the government says it secured “terms equal to Taiwan’s,” but the U.S.–Taiwan negotiations are still ongoing. Prof.Shim, What variables could shift Korea’s position before the final terms are settled? 9. (Shin Se Don) Lastly, we cannot leave out NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang's visit. S.Korea’s acquisition of 260,000 NVIDIA GPUs, essential for AI development, is being hailed as a major win. Prof.Shin, Alongside this supply deal, what ripple effects could stronger NVIDIA–Korea partnerships have on boosting Korea’s global competitiveness in AI? Thank you for your insights Prof , Prof , we appreciate it. #SouthKorea #UnitedStates #Trade #Tariff #Tariff_negotiations #Cash_investment #ShinSeDon #ShimMyungkyu #대한민국 #미국 #무역 #관세 #관세_협상 #현금투자 #Arirang_News #아리랑뉴스 📣 Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/arirangtvnews 📣 Twitter : https://twitter.com/arirangtvnews 📣 Homepage : https://v2.arirang.com/ 2025-11-03, 20:30 (KST) yt:video:BbSHUYI12kg BbSHUYI12kg UCzznO4xSV8BKnUBPyswtCUw Arirang News https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzznO4xSV8BKnUBPyswtCUw 2025-11-03T11:57:16+00:00 2025-11-03T13:24:07+00:00 [LIVE] NEWSCENTER (2025-11-03) ▪ US$ 200 bil. investment fund to support Korean firms first ▪ KOSPI tops 4,200 mark after APEC Korea clears geopolitical uncertainty ▪ Here are some key economic takeaways from APEC 2025 Korea ▪ Parties split over APEC, Korea-U.S. tariff deal as budget talks loom ▪ Lee to deliver 2026 budget speech on Tuesday ▪ S.

Oh Soo-young reports. Korea's benchmark KOSPI hit a historic milestone on Monday, surpassing the 4,200 mark for the first time during trading. The index opened zero-point-three-nine percent higher, at 4,123.3-6, and surged to 4,221.87 at closing, 2-point-78 up from the previous day of trading. It comes just five trading days after crossing 4,000. The rally was driven by individual investors, snapping up over 650 billion won worth of shares, or around 455 million U.S. dollars. Large-cap stocks accounted for the surge. Samsung Electronics gained 3.35 percent, hitting the symbolic 110-thousand mark for the first time. But what stole the show was SK hynix. The semiconductor company jumped 10.95 percent to top the 600-thousand won level, backed by stronger profit forecasts from analysts. Market sentiment is improving after several major developments during the APEC forum hosted in Gyeongju City last week. The Korea–U.S. summit on the sidelines concluded follow-up tariff talks, before the U.S. and China agreed to avoid further escalation in their trade dispute, helping stabilise business prospects. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s first visit to Korea in 15 years also added momentum. He pledged to supply 260-thousand GPUs to the Korean government and local firms, signaling stronger cooperation in chips and AI. "Across the world, for all companies and investors, there’s only one keyword needed to attract investment that’s AI. Whether it’s the U.S., Japan, or Korea, you can’t talk about money now without mentioning AI. If you trace back all this talk about AI-related facility investment, infrastructure investment, capital expenditure it's clear semiconductor-related firms have much to gain." Korea's blue chip KOSDAQ also gained 1.57 percent to 914.55, recovering to the 900-level. Experts say with key corporate earnings from shipbuilding, defense, and nuclear-energy sectors due this week, the KOSPI’s upward trend is likely to continue. "Amid global power competition and supply chain realignment, the world truly needs Korea and that’s being proven through actual money market movements. The KOSPI’s growth rate this year alone is about 60 percent. If the index itself rose 60 points, it means many individual stocks have doubled or tripled." Still, there's a possibility of overheating after the rally, and U.S. monetary policy and liquidity shifts remain the key external risks in the near-term future.

Lawmakers are weighing in on the results of South Korea's hosting of this year's APEC forum and the response remains sharply divided along party lines. Our correspondent Moon Hye-ryeon has the latest. The National Assembly is divided over the outcomes of last week’s APEC Leaders Summit, reflecting deep political tensions over the government’s approach to international diplomacy and economic policy. On Monday, the main opposition People Power Party sharply criticized the landmark South Korea-U.S. tariff agreement, which includes a 350 billion U.S. dollar investment package. Party leader Jang Dong-hyeok called on the government to release full details and undergo parliamentary scrutiny. "They keep praising themselves for reaching a South Korea-U.S. tariff agreement, but just like three months ago, neither a fact sheet nor the official agreement has been made public." Party floor leader Song Eon-seog called any attempt to bypass parliamentary approval “a clear violation of the Constitution,” arguing that the deal affects citizens’ lives and the nation’s key industries. Opposition officials also raised concerns about financial risks, cautioning that transferring U.S. investment funds without oversight might expose South Korea’s foreign exchange market to volatility. On the other hand, the ruling Democratic Party framed APEC Leaders Summit as a diplomatic triumph. Party leader Jung Chung-rae stressed that the government’s agreements must now be translated into concrete results and pledged to prepare and expedite special legislation related to U.S. investment, while hosting nationwide events to inform citizens of the summit’s achievements. "We will do our utmost to ensure that the outcomes of APEC are communicated to the public, including by establishing a provisional special committee for follow-up support on APEC and tariff negotiation outcomes." Democratic Party floor leader Kim Byung-kee emphasized that strategic sectors such as AI, semiconductors, and research and development were at the center of global collaboration during APEC. He called the upcoming budget deliberations a critical opportunity to strengthen South Korea’s competitive edge and turn the agreements into tangible growth for the future. With both parties staking out strong and opposing positions, attention now turns to how the government will translate the APEC agreements into action as lawmakers prepare to review next year’s budget, which could determine the future of key strategic industries and public investments.

Our correspondent Park Jun-han reports. With the official events of APEC 2025 Korea now concluded, this year's meeting saw several major economic deals finalized, ranging from government agreements to corporate investment and supply contracts. The details of the tariff negotiations between South Korea and the U.S. were finalized last Wednesday. South Korean President Lee Jae Myung and U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 350 billion U.S. dollar investment package after their second summit in two months. The details of the finalized deal include 200 billion dollars in cash, capped at 20 billion dollars a year, and 150 billion dollars invested in shipbuilding cooperation. The two sides agreed to pursue the shipbuilding project led by South Korean companies, with profits shared equally and including not only direct investments but also financial guarantees. In return, U.S. tariffs on Korean automobiles will be dropped from 25% to 15%. Also, pharmaceuticals and lumber get most-favored-nation status, and aircraft parts and generic drugs become free of tariffs. Although the two sides have agreed on the details, the formal fact sheet has not been disclosed yet. In other news, South Korea and China signed a renewed 400 billion yuan, about 70 trillion Korean won worth won-yuan currency swap agreement for 5 years on Saturday, extending a deal that expired last month. During the summit, six memorandum of understanding were signed by the two countries, including the "silver economy," startup innovation, economic collaboration through 2030 in the services trade, fresh fruit exports, and joint crackdowns on voice phishing and online fraud.

This is according to Industry Minister Kim Jung-kwan. Our Byeon Ye-young covers his remarks. Industry Minister Kim Jung-kwan says the country's 200 billion dollar investment package for the U.S. will not be a simple handout, but a strategic fund designed to benefit Korean firms first. Speaking at a lecture for mid-sized company CEOs in Seoul on Monday, Kim explained that the funds will be overseen by two committees, one chaired by U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and another by himself, to ensure joint approval and transparency. He said the 200-billion-dollar investment will go to projects with commercial viability. Or in other words, businesses capable of generating cash flow. The minister added that detailed guidelines on how companies can access the funds will soon be shared with business associations, urging firms not to miss out, saying, if there's intent to expand into the U.S. market, this is an opportunity that should be explored. Kim also said the recently concluded Korea-U.S. tariff agreement helped ease pressure on the foreign exchange market and paved the way for strategic investment. He called it a "new path," with companies in the past needing their own capital and financing. He added that formal documents summarizing the tariff deal, including an MOU and fact sheet, are in their final stages. At the event, the head of the Federation of Middle Market Enterprises of Korea thanked the minister for his efforts, recalling how U.S. President Donald Trump recently described Kim as a "very tough negotiator," to which Kim replied was "a great honor."
