Big names, small bets: Stars take a chance at the June box office

At first glance, Korea's June box office looks like a tentpole affair. Leading the charge is Yeon Sang-ho's zombie hit "Colony," fresh off its Midnight Screenings bow at Cannes, which blew past 4 million admissions this week and has 5 million in its sights. Close behind is "Wild Sing," the dumb-fun comedy starring heartthrob Gang Dong-won, which drew more than 160,000 tickets on opening day and has held second place ever since. And the firepower keeps coming from Hollywood: Steven Spielberg's "D

KT&G emerges as unlikely foreign favorite

So far, 2026 has been as good as it gets for South Korea's benchmark Kospi, with investors piling into chipmakers and artificial intelligence-driven data center plays. But outside the AI trade, few stocks have attracted as much attention as KT&G. Foreign ownership of the tobacco maker recently exceeded 50 percent for the first time in seven years as its shares climbed to a record 190,000 won ($123), up from a 52-week low of 119,200 won.

Ahead of Xi visit, North Korea signals denuclearization is off the table

Just one day before Chinese President Xi Jinping is set to arrive in Pyongyang for a rare state visit, North Korea on Sunday delivered an unmistakable message: Its nuclear weapons program is not up for negotiation. A strongly worded statement by the North Korean leader's influential sister, Kim Yo-jong, and Kim Jong-un's inspection of nuclear and missile production facilities appear to be an attempt to define the terms of the summit before Xi even lands, making clear that any discussion of denuc
