Russia's Seoul outreach, Hormuz mission and cyber threats — Ep. 154

Jeongmin and Joon Ha discuss Russia’s overtures toward South Korea amid Seoul’s dispute with Ukraine over two North Korean POWs. They also cover the possible expansion of the Cheonghae unit toward the Strait of Hormuz and South Korea’s raised cybersecurity alert. Then they turn to the KOSPI’s sharp decline, the Bank of Korea’s decision to hold interest rates and the Lee Jae Myung administration’s government reforms. The episode ends with a look ahead to Q3 GDP figures and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s visit to Seoul. #KoreaPro #SouthKorea #Russia #KOSPI #BankOfKorea #StraitOfHormuz
