Main opposition chief ups call for election do-over, seeks to abolish early voting

Rep. Jang Dong-hyeok, chair of the main opposition People Power Party, on Sunday escalated his demands for an election do-over after the ballot shortage incident, citing ongoing protests. “The people want a reelection. Attempting to gloss over the matter with a parliamentary investigation, push it aside with a special counsel recommended by the ruling party, or end it by replacing only a few election commission staff members, they will never be able to quell the public anger that has spread like

What is 'Arirang' without its melody? 'Ballet Arirang' finds the answer in spirit

When BTS chose "Arirang" as an album title and wove the familiar refrain — "Arirang, Arirang, Arariyo" — into its music, the move sparked widespread discussion about meaning, identity and cultural heritage. Now comes "Ballet Arirang." The title invokes Korea's familiar folk song, yet not a single note of the "Arirang" melody will be heard on stage. Instead of borrowing the tune, the production seeks to translate the spirit of "Arirang" into ballet. "There is no 'Arirang' melody in the performanc

백신 없는 변종 에볼라 확산에 비상… “시간과의 싸움”[이창수의 영어&뉴스 따라잡기]

아프리카 콩고민주공화국(민주콩고)에 ‘분디부조 변종 에볼라’가 빠르게 확산되면서 국제사회가 긴장하고 있다. 3일 현재 민주콩고에는 1000명 이상의 의심 환자(suspected cases)가 발생했고 누적 사망자가 240여 명을 넘어섰다. 민주콩고에서 에볼라 발생이 확인된 것은 최근이지만 세계보건기구(WHO) 관계자에 따르면 몇 주 전부터 물밑에서 확산돼 왔다(spread under the radar/undetected). 뒤늦게 당국이 대응에 나섰지만(try to catch up) 에볼라 확산 속도는 역대 최고 수준이다. 의료 전문가들은 현 상황을 ‘시간과의 싸움(a race against time)’으로 묘사한다. 이번 에볼라 진원지(epicenter)는 몽브왈루이고, 가장 창궐한 지역(the hotspot of the outbreak)은 이투리로 알려졌다. 이투리는 오래전부터 분쟁에 휘말려 있는(is mired in conflict) 곳으로, 극단적인 폭력 사태가 빚어지고

미국이 이란과의 전쟁으로 촉발된 원유 공급 불안에 대응하기 위해 전략비축유(SPR)를 대규모로 방출하면서 비축량이 1980년대 이후 최저 수준에 근접한 것으로 나타났다. 미 CNN방송은 1일(현지 시각) 미국 에너지부 자료를 인용해 전략비축유 재고가 지난주에만 800만 배럴 감소했다고 보도했다. 이는 전주 감소분(910만 배럴)보다는 적지만, 지난 5월

Desire exposed at National Gallery Singapore show

SINGAPORE — The entrance to the exhibition tucked away on Level 4 of the sprawling National Gallery Singapore is closed, its doors covered in what appears to be red tape printed with the exhibition title: “Passion is Volcanic: Desire in Southeast Asian Art.” It is an effective marketing ploy; when something is prohibited, people often desire it more. As you open the door to the museum’s first-ever age-restricted exhibition (rated 18), a guide gives you a cursory look to check if you are eligible

Why ambiguity matters to German painter Andi Fischer

For German painter Andi Fischer, some of the most important moments in painting happen when things do not go according to plan. "Failure is not the opposite of success, but part of the same process," Fischer said in a recent written interview with The Korea Herald. The artist’s latest exhibition in Seoul, "Feil Good" at Gallery Baton in the spring, reflected a philosophy that embraces uncertainty, mistakes and unexpected outcomes.

美 전략비축유, 2년만 최저…에너지업계 "6~7월 유가 상승" 경고

[미국-이란 전쟁] 미 전략비축유 재고, 전쟁 후 12% 감소… "방출된 비축유의 절반 해외로, 국제유가 상승 압박 커져" "미-이란 당장 합의해도 호르무즈 병목 해소까지 6주 걸려" "6~7월 수요 급증하는 성수기, 국제유가 계속 오를 것" 이란과의 전쟁 여파로 미국의 전략비축유가 2년여 만에 최저치로 줄어 국제유가 추가 상승 우려가 커졌다. 실제 에너지 업계에선 오는 6~7월 유가 상승 압력이 한층 커질 거란 경고가 잇따르고 있다. 28일(현지시간) CNN에 따르면 현재 미국의 전략비축유(SPR) 재고량은 3억6500만배럴로 집계됐다. 이는 2월28일 미국·이스라엘과 이란 전쟁 시작 이후 3개월 만에 5000만배럴(12%)이 줄어든 동시에 2024년 4월 이후 2년여 만에 최저치라고 CNN은 전했다. 또 전임 조 바이든 행정부에서 기록한 비축량 최저치(3억4700만배럴)에 근접한 수준이라고 덧붙였다. 바이든 전 행정부는 2022년 러시아-우크라이나 전쟁으로 인한 에너지 위기 해소를 위한 전략비축유를 대량 방출했다. 당시 비축량은 1980년대 이후 40년 만에 최저치를 기록했었다....
