The South Korean won took a slight dip following the announcement of Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election. While the news headlines proclaimed a “tumble,” the actual change was relatively minor. The won had been on a downward trend for some time, and the recent drop was just a small blip on the larger scale.
Many commenters, particularly those of Korean descent, expressed concern about the implications of Trump’s win for the Korean Peninsula, specifically regarding his stance on North Korea’s nuclear weapons program. Some worried that Trump, in prioritizing China, might tacitly accept North Korea’s nuclear arsenal, potentially even treating it similarly to Pakistan.… Continue reading
Kamala Harris’ victory in Colorado is a significant win for the Democrats, but it’s not enough to secure the presidency. While many are celebrating the state’s vote, there’s a palpable sense of disappointment that this wasn’t a landslide victory for Harris. This echoes the frustration felt after Hillary Clinton’s loss in 2016, where some believed a lack of turnout was due to complacency. Now, there’s no excuse for low voter engagement, and the anxieties are real.
Despite the excitement surrounding Colorado, the national picture is far from rosy. The focus has shifted to the swing states, and there’s a growing sense of unease about the possibility of a Trump victory.… Continue reading

Early exit polls in the US election indicate a high turnout among female voters, potentially boosting Kamala Harris’s chances. Preliminary data reveals that women constitute about 53% of the electorate, exceeding male voter turnout by six percentage points and marking a one-point increase from the last election.
