    What a coincidence. Today, I talked with students in my “democratization” class about the Sewol ferry disaster, “Spring Day” & blacklists under Park. I heard they had donated 100 million won, but wasn’t aware they visited the victims’ families in 2014. So courageous.

    세월호 참사 6주기를 앞두고 세월호 희생자 유족들을 인터뷰하던 중, 그들의 입에서 뜻밖의 이름이 흘러나왔습니다. 유족을 찾은 이들은 당시 데뷔 2년차 아이돌 그룹, 방탄소년단(BTS)이었습니다.

    Important to note this happened "in 2014," during the Park Geun-hye administration which was engaged in a witch hunt against the Sewol victims' families and blacklisting celebrities that it considered left-leaning.

    As a scholar who researches performative works that document and mourn the ferry disaster, I was so surprised to read this article and learn that met with and consoled the victims’ families, and donated 100 million won to the 416 Family Committee in 2014.

    There is little military rationale for South Korea to build nuclear-powered submarines, and pursuing them may not be worth the costs.

    In my latest publication, I argue that West Germany actually generated a financial SURPLUS from unification, not a LOSS as the dominant narrative tells us. I'd say this is relevant for Korea, or at least for the Korean unification debate and public opinion.

    Amidst growing regional threats, disputes over alliance burdensharing, and concerns about U.S. retrenchment, might South Korea seek nuclear weapons? My report w/ former fellow Ain Han sorts through the data & looks beyond US and ROK elections.
