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

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
