Last update: 10 hours ago

ROK-Canada Military Ties: A South Korean frigate and submarine are in Greater Victoria for two weeks of joint drills, ceremonies and a Royal Theatre concert featuring both navies’ bands and K-pop hits like BTS—part of Seoul’s push toward a major Canadian submarine deal. North-South Sports Diplomacy: North Korea’s Naegohyang Women’s FC left South Korea for China and then Pyongyang after winning the AFC Women’s Champions League, with the team staying tightly controlled as supporters chanted “see you again.” Geopolitics & Security: France banned Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir from entering the country over his role in the Gaza-bound Global Sumud flotilla incident, escalating European pressure. Domestic Policy: President Lee Jae-myung called for tougher rules on online hate speech and mockery, weighing sanctions and even punitive damages. Sports Spotlight: Si Woo Kim kept a two-shot lead into the CJ Cup Byron Nelson final round, setting up a Scheffler-and-Clark chase.
