This article is by Michael Lee and read by an artificial voice. [GIVE IT A GO] The first thing I noticed standing beneath the Seouldal balloon was how silent it was. Aside from the faint rustling of the turning leaves in the surrounding trees, there was almost no sound in the wide expanse of Yeouido Hangang Park. Above me, the helium balloon - pale yellow and tethered to a steel rig - barely stirred in the wind. For a moment, it was easy to forget that I was in one of the largest cities in

Park Myung-lim The author is a political professor at Yonsei University. The world is descending into disorder. Humanity's values of freedom, equality, democracy and peace are deteriorating. Most alarming of all, the shared standards and universal ideals that once guided humankind have vanished. It feels like only yesterday when the collapse of socialism, the end of the Cold War and the rise of globalization were hailed as the final victory of market economies and liberal democracy. Today

Readers have long left traces of their thoughts in the margins of books - a practice known as marginalia. Writers and scholars such as Michel de Montaigne, Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin were all fond of this habit. But what might be the most extraordinary marginal note in human history? In the 17th century, French mathematician Pierre de Fermat (1601 - 1665) filled the margins of

Asset management can also be reduced to three core elements: tax, income and price - forming the acronym "TIP." These are the primary colors of asset management. The

Kim Jung-ha The author is an editorial writer at the JoongAng Ilbo. Human cognition evolved to grasp the predictable world of classical mechanics - apples fall, objects have mass and motion follows rules. Quantum mechanics, by contrast, defies intuition. Before measurement, particles exist in superposition, simultaneously occupying multiple states and their behavior can only be described in probabilities. Even Albert Einstein rejected this indeterministic view, spending decades as what

Chin Jung-kwon The author is a professor at Kwangwoon University. The phenomenon once confined to the fringes - post-truth - has now become the center of public life. The real danger lies not in the noise it generates, but in how it dissolves our shared sense of reality. Korean politics today is driven less by facts than by fabricated stories that take on the force of belief.
