The Rivals of Amziah King
Matthew McConaughey was a star to connoisseurs of up-and-coming actors long before his official ascension into the firmament in March 2014, when he won an Oscar for “Dallas Buyers Club” before “True Detective” premiered on HBO. Cinema made room for his specialness before most folks knew his name.
Who to blame for Korea's World Cup failure
Hong Myung-bo holds a press conference at Chivas Valle Verde in Zapopan, near Guadalajara, Mexico, to announce his resignation, June 28 (local time). Yonhap After Korea’s early exit from the football World Cup, I find myself among the ranks of those disappointed by the team’s performance, though certainly not the most disappointed. I had hopes that Korea would do fairly well this time, hopes that have been emphatically dashed.

How much does K-pop cost?
NewJeans / Courtesy of Ador The upcoming concerts of BTS in front of Gyeongbok Palace and Blackpink at the National Museum of Korea are milestones for basically the world’s most successful national branding strategy. The culmination of K-pop’s bond between public bodies and private companies, these concerts demonstrate how the persistence of successive governments is reaping dividends for the country both culturally and financially.
Investigating Coupang
Coupang delivery vehicles are seen in front of a logistics center in Seoul on Dec. 8, 2025. Yonhap For the most part, things seem to have died down for Coupang since its massive data breach last year and the messy aftermath. Bigger news stories have pushed it out of our minds. The issue is unresolved, though, and I’m sure in a few weeks when we can all concentrate properly and the news cycle returns to Coupang’s problems, everyone will again remember to feel properly outraged.
Panicle Hydrangeas from Garden to Vase
As the season approaches its end, Panicle Hydrangeas continue to morph into the most brilliant fall tones. These flowers can be perfect for fall designs and winter installations. Drying the blooms will help to extend their beauty even further. Select flowers that are completely papery to the touch. You can feel that there isn’t much moisture in the petals. Remove all extra leaves and any damaged flowers from the stem. Hanging is a very popular method of drying.

QOSHE - 'Yoon must go' - Scott Shepherd
A passenger watches President Yoon Suk Yeol deliver a speech, on a television at a bus terminal in Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province. Yonhap On July 11 2023, I started writing an article titled “Autocracy Rising” about Yoon’s tendency towards misusing his power. I gave up on the piece after three days. I felt it was too controversial and may open me and my young family to some kind of attack — even before this week’s chaos, Yoon has demonstrated a habit of going after his critics.

An ode to the Ajumma
Ajummas in the Korean TV drama "Reply 1988" / Courtesy of CJ ENM By Scott Shepherd About five minutes ago I was sitting in a café trying to write an academic paper with a deadline looming unpleasantly large in my consciousness. I’ve completed most of the research so now it’s just a question of shaping the argument and sorting out all the fiddly bits. Apart from me, the place was empty; I was focused, completely absorbed in the task at hand.

Jjajangmyeon nationalism
By Scott Shepherd Among many Koreans with whom I have spoken there is an unfortunate misconception: that, apart from fish and chips, British cuisine doesn’t exist. This illusion persists even among the very wisest and most unimpeachable members of society, namely my wife. Accompanying this belief is an unspoken comparison between Korea’s impressive culinary achievements and Britain’s alleged lack thereof: look at all the jjangs and tangs, the jeons and myeons and baps and guks.

Disappearing towns
A village in Seoul where local residents get ready to move out to make way for an urban redevelopment project in this July 2020 file photo. Korea Times file By Scott Shepherd Every so often, the Korea Times publishes an article about the destruction of one historic neighborhood or another, usually in a poor district of Seoul. Each piece brings for me a nostalgic pang for the Korea of yesteryear.
Squat, Lee and Linton: Names and identity in today's Korea

Korea's summer of hell
By Scott Shepherd This summer I went to the land of my birth, the United States, for the first time in almost a decade. I only had sporadic access to the internet, and I didn't really keep up with the news. But throughout the trip I extolled the virtues of Korea at any chance I got. "What delicious food it has!" I would tell my interlocutors.

Yoon's Real Suneung Problem
By Scott Shepherd The details about the hullabaloo are almost boring in their predictable uniformity: a politician's statement, the outraged response, the government's hasty clarifications, meetings, more statements. Someone gets fired, but not the person who made the initial statement. The episode has probably raised the blood pressure of the people involved to unhealthy levels, but for everyone else it is a reminder of what Qoheleth teaches us. There is nothing new under the sun.
Entry prohibited for foreigners
By Scott Shepherd "Oegugin churip geumji," said the doorman. Entry prohibited for foreigners. This article was nearly a very angry one. After I was denied entry to a bar two weeks ago for not being Korean, I was fulminating internally over the piece that I would write. I was going to write about the closemindedness and inherent insularity of Korea that the "no foreigners" rule reveals.
Yoon's Japan plan: compromise or betrayal?
By Scott Shepherd This week has been a busy one in Korean politics. While everyone was still debating the rights and wrongs of President Yoon's diplomatic trip last week to Japan, main opposition leader Lee Jae-myung was indicted Tuesday on charges of corruption and bribery. My attention has yo-yoed between the two stories all week, though there are some clear links between them.
Conformity and courage
By Scott Shepherd For about five months now, two lines of Rudyard Kipling's poem "If" have been going around my head: "If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, / But make allowance for their doubting too." The climax of the poem states that if you can indeed do this (and a dozen other things), then "Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, / And ― which is more == you'll be a Man, my son!" (I'm sure that by now some well-meaning censor has "corrected" the final line to "you'll...
Resolution remains elusive for Seoul's disabled accessibility issues
By Scott Shepherd Following some 75 protests on Seoul's subway network since December 2021, Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon declared a zero-tolerance approach in the last week of 2022. And sure enough, 2023 began with The Korea Times reporting that police were referring 24 protesters to the prosecution: criminal charges were to be pressed.
The Blue House, Korean Age
By Scott Shepherd I've never really been able to wrap my head around the Korean age system, although I can understand it in principle, I just can't figure out what it means when someone tells me that a person is 10 or 20 or 30 in Korean age. I find myself unable to picture a Korean-age 10-year-old in the same way that I can instantly imagine an international-age 10-year-old.
Europe's sins and the World Cup
By Scott Shepherd Gianni Infantino, the head of football's governing body, FIFA, gave a pretty strange speech a few weeks ago, just before this year's World Cup started. It touched a nerve with a lot of people for all kinds of reasons.
K-Censorship
By Scott Shepherd Last month I wrote a piece for the Korea Times in which I argued that the New Jeans song "Cookie" contains strong sexual connotations and is therefore inappropriate for minors to be singing. When I sent it to my editor, I asked if she thought there would be any legal trouble considering the sensitive nature of the topic. She told me that she thought the article seemed fine but that she'd double check. The disclaimer at the bottom of this article is true, by the way.

The cookie controversy
By Scott Shepherd The past few weeks have seen a controversy erupt surrounding the newly-debuted K-pop group NewJeans, most of whose members are under 19 (the age of consent in Korea), with complaints that the lyrics of their song "cookie" have sexual undertones. It's important to note at the outset that none of this is the fault of the group members. They are simply teenagers who are probably, like most K-pop artists, bound by contract to sing and dance in whatever way their agency tells them to.
They [censored] you up, your mum and dad
By Scott Shepherd The opening line of "This Be The Verse", Philip Larkin's famous poem on parenthood, is far too vulgar for the delicate sensibilities of a reader of The Korea Times, so I won't repeat it here. But as those well-read in British poetry know, the central claim of Larkin's poem is that your parents mess you up. Here's the rest of the first stanza: They may not mean to, but they do. They fill you with the faults they had And add some extra, just for you.

Immune responses following third COVID-19 vaccination are reduced in patients with hematological malignancies compared to patients with solid cancer
Main Text (Cancer Cell 40, 114–116; February 14, 2022) In this report from the CAPTURE study (NCT03226886), we demonstrate that a third dose of COVID-19 vaccine boosts neutralizing antibody (NAb) and cellular responses in patients with cancer, including those that had undetectable NAb titers (NAbT) following two vaccine doses or for whom NAbT waned. We have noted that one key member of the CAPTURE consortium—Sanjay Popat—was inadvertently not included in the author list.

FIRST-PERSON: Helpful hints for July 4 worship services
FRANKLIN, Tenn. (BP) — Independence Day is this weekend, and this year’s patriotic holiday is unique: for the first time in eleven years, the 4th of July will fall on a Sunday. Southern Baptists will choose to gather on this Lord’s Day in different ways. Some will hold festive patriotic celebrations, but others will opt for more typical worship gatherings. Most will find middle ground somewhere between these two poles. My aim here isn’t to endorse one approach over another.
IMB celebrates work of Deaf Pathway Global
In 2020, Deaf people numbered nearly 70 million people around the world. Of those, 1,444 Deaf people die every day without Christ, according to IMB’s 2020 Annual Statistical Report. Most Deaf people around the world have none of the Bible in their heart sign language. Those numbers should concern any Great Commission Christian, IMB President Paul Chitwood told those at a June 15 gathering held in conjunction with the SBC Annual Meeting in Nashville.
