Lee Jae Myung faces mounting criticism over minister picks
President Lee Jae Myung faces calls to cancel some ministerial picks as he moves to fill Cabinet posts, while all eyes are on whether Lee will override the criticism raised against some nominees. The conservative main opposition People Power Party's interim leader, Rep. Song Eon-seog, demanded that Lee not proceed with presidential nominations of at least two nominees at a closed-door meeting with President Lee and the ruling Democratic Party of Korea's floor leader Rep. Kim Byung-kee, according to the People Power Party. There, Kim demanded that Lee approve all 16 minister nominees who completed the confirmation hearing over the past week. This came alongside the main opposition party's statement Sunday that the presidential nominations of Rep. Kang Sun-woo to lead the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and former Chungnam National University President Lee Jin-sook for Education Minister should be withdrawn. In South Korea, a president may proceed with the approval of their nominations for all Cabinet ministers once they have undergone a parliamentary confirmation hearing. The National Assembly is supposed to adopt confirmation hearing reports if the two rival parties agree on the presidential nomination, but they are not required for a president to proceed with his approval. Kang, a two-time lawmaker of the ruling party, is suspected of having abused her authority by asking her secretaries to do her personal chores. Lee is embroiled in allegations related to academic plagiarism and excessive spending on her children's education overseas, which allegedly involved a violation of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. The brewing controversy over Lee's nomination of Kang has drawn mixed reactions, even from within the ruling party. Rep. Jung Chung-rae, who openly expressed support for Kang by describing her as not only "a warmhearted mother and outstanding lawmaker" but also a "soon-to-be gender equality minister," has taken the lead in the primary to elect the new chair of the ruling Democratic Party of Korea. Jung's contender and former party whip Rep. Park Chan-dae, on the other hand, called for prudence before the presidential confirmation of the matter. According to the presidential office, Lee was to make up his mind on his nominations following a presidential office closed-door briefing on Sunday; his final decision had yet to be announced as of press time. Meanwhile, such controversies appear to have had little impact on Lee's popularity. A poll by Gallup Korea showed Friday that Lee's job approval rating reached 64 percent, as responses hovered around the mid-60 percent range over the past month. Among those who disapproved of Lee's performance, only 11 percent cited his presidential nominations as the reason for their disapproval. Before Sunday, Lee approved the nominations of six ministers of the Cabinet. These are Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Koo Yoon-cheol, Science Minister Bae Kyung-hoon, Justice Minister Jung Sung-ho, Foreign Minister Cho Hyun, Interior Minister Kim Jung-kwan and Interior Minister Yun Ho-jung. Prime Minister Kim Min-seok gained a final presidential confirmation on July 3. They were among the 16 ministerial nominees who underwent confirmation hearings throughout the previous week. Along with them, Lim Kwang-hyun, who was picked for the role of the chief of the tax authorities — a vice-ministerial level position — also went through the hearing. South Korea's Cabinet comprises 20 members, including a prime minister and 19 ministers. Among them, incumbent Agriculture Minister Song Mi-ryung, who had been serving in the role before President Lee took office, will not undergo a confirmation hearing. The two remaining nominees — Chae Hwi-young of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and Kim Yun-duk of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport — have yet to go through confirmation hearings.

UN land mine experts visit S. Korea to discuss reducing minefield risks
Two land mine experts from the United Nations Development Program visited South Korea this week, as the devices remain a serious concern on the Korean Peninsula — particularly due to the risk of displacement caused by flooding. The visit by Sean Moorhouse, UNDP technical adviser for mine action, and Kwon Goo-soon, UNDP chief technical adviser in Vietnam, was made at the invitation of South Korea's Defense Ministry. Their visit aims to "provide technical advice on managing previously undocumented minefields and strengthening the systems that manage risk," Kwon said in a written interview with The Korea Herald. "This visit continues UNDP's longstanding cooperation with the Republic of Korea and reflects our shared commitment to making communities safer. Korea's leadership in mine action, both at home and abroad, is deeply valued," Kwon added. Hundreds of thousands of land mines were laid during and after the 1950–53 Korean War, especially along the heavily fortified Demilitarized Zone and other strategic areas. Many of these minefields remain uncleared, poorly mapped, or entirely undocumented, posing risks to civilians, farmers and development projects. Kwon underscored that South Korea "has made steady progress in building technical expertise and aligning its mine action work with international standards. "The government's focus on strengthening risk management and exploring new survey techniques shows a strong commitment to protecting its citizens." Kwon stressed South Korea's growing role in global mine action, noting it had become a key partner in international demining efforts through its support for countries such as Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Ukraine and Syria. "What sets this partnership apart is Korea's focus on linking mine clearance with sustainable development. Clearing land is not only about removing danger: It's about unlocking opportunities for farming, education, infrastructure and local economies," Kwon said. For its initiatives in Vietnam, UNDP collaborates with the Korea International Cooperation Agency, an international development agency under South Korea's Foreign Ministry, to combine mine clearance with rural development and community engagement. More recently, Korea has extended its support to demining efforts in Syria under an initiative known as "REVIVE." Before joining the UNDP in August 2023, Kwon served as a professor of global cooperation and North Korean studies at Seoul Cyber University. Kwon suggested that demining could be one avenue for inter-Korean cooperation. "Historically, mine action has served as a neutral and humanitarian space for cooperation, even in politically complex environments," Kwon said. "While the current situation on the Korean Peninsula remains sensitive, mine action could offer a constructive platform for future dialogue and practical collaboration."

LG Uplus debuts financial AI model on AWS Bedrock
LG Uplus, one of the top three telecommunications providers in South Korea, said Sunday that it has launched its specialized small language model, ixi-Gen, on the Amazon Web Services Bedrock marketplace ― becoming the first Korean telecom company to bring an internally developed artificial intelligence language model to the global stage. Built on LG's large language model Exaone, ixi-Gen has been optimized for financial applications through targeted learning on finance-specific data sets. According to LG Uplus, the model delivers up to 31 percent improved performance in financial tasks compared to general-purpose AI models, while maintaining high levels of accuracy, safety and content filtering. AWS Bedrock is a fully managed AI service that enables developers to build applications using foundation models from leading providers without managing infrastructure. Its marketplace functions as a central hub for organizations to explore, compare and integrate AI models ― offering over 100 models globally from major players such as Amazon, Meta, Mistral and Cohere. To be listed on the Bedrock marketplace, AI models must pass rigorous security and performance evaluations. LG Uplus emphasized that ixi-Gen's successful listing reflects both its technical sophistication and trustworthiness ― qualities increasingly sought after by enterprises adopting AI. The mobile carrier plans to expand the capabilities of ixi-Gen beyond the financial and telecommunications sectors into other industries where domain-specific AI solutions are in demand.
