Last update: 6 hours ago

Nuclear Tensions: North Korea’s Kim Jong-un vowed to accelerate nuclear expansion “to overtake the world,” framing nuclear forces as the core of national defense and blaming South Korea-U.S. moves for worsening security on the peninsula. Markets Shock: South Korea’s KOSPI plunged nearly 10% Tuesday, led by Samsung and SK Hynix after regulators warned leveraged ETF risks and investors worried the AI-led rally ran too hot. Legal Fallout: A South Korean court sentenced former Justice Minister Park Sung-jae to 25 years over his role in Yoon Suk Yeol’s 2024 martial law bid. Ukraine POW Talks: Seoul said it will accept all North Korean POWs captured in Ukraine if they choose South Korea, with foreign ministers set to meet June 30. Entertainment Court Case: Actor Kim Soo-hyun is reportedly preparing a comeback as a lawsuit tied to an endorsement dispute heads to an August hearing. K-pop Stalking Case: A court sentenced BTS member Jungkook’s stalker to one year in prison, suspended for two years, with possible deportation. Tech Industry: Samsung’s HBM4 ramp hit $1bn sales in four months, as AI memory demand keeps heating up. Sports (World Cup): South Korea still has a path to the last 32 after Mexico’s win over them, with the next match shaping qualification.
