Theresa Fallon “Many people would like to see China play a constructive role, but I think now that we're in the third year of the war, this idea is wearing a bit thin.” 8 hours ago
Mahjoob Zweiri “What we have witnessed in the past few hours is that they talk about an agreement on the first stage. It could be understood that Hamas wants to release itself from the pressure globally, including the United States. So, they are giving concessions on the first stage, which leads to 40 days of ceasefire and exchange of captives. I think 33 old and sick captives. And then moving on to other stages. But we are seeing that we are going back to the main conditions, which means we are still talking about the main principles [complete ceasefire and withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza] that Hamas talked about. As the time of some sort of agreement on the first stage came, the Israeli military and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came to say actually, there is no agreement: We will go to Rafah regardless of any agreement. It reflects the divisions within the Israelis and crisis within the Israeli politics. On the other hand, Hamas has been more cautious. They do not want to show real progress made but they also do not want to say things have not changed. I think it's obvious some change has happened otherwise we would not expect [CIA chief] William Burns to be in the region.” 8 hours ago

“It didn't matter which administration was in power, whether it was the left or whether it was the right. Yoon [Yoon Suk-yeol] went after corruption in the system. He has a track record of pursuing justice, no matter what the political cost may be. And in a society that is seen to be largely unfair, where there's deep divisions between the rich and the poor, and where many ordinary people feel as if equal opportunity is not guaranteed, there's hope that he will bring justice to South Korea.”

“Men in their 20s are deeply unhappy, considering themselves victims of reverse discrimination, angry that they had to pay the price for gender discriminations created under the earlier generations.”

“The pursuit of a solution to the North Korean nuclear issue has now shifted back to a long-term trajectory; there can be no quick fix. If Moon [Moon Jae-in] rushes to hold another summit with the North Korean leader, it will be a meaningless political stunt. Since the perception of 'North Korea' in South Korean society has long been discussed within the framework of biased ideological thinking, or 'camp logic,' the problem of inter-Korean relations has also been framed according to progressive and conservative viewpoints rather than an accurate assessment of the situation. Now is the time to abandon this lunacy.”

“The conscription system should be maintained. It is impractical to switch to an all-volunteer system. But it is possible to reduce the number of conscripts and increase the number of volunteers. To do so a lot of changes have to be made to make the military more suitable for the younger generation.”

“The craze for the metaverse reflects the sadness and anger of the MZ generation due to polarization. They do not consider the metaverse as an alternative or replacement of reality, instead it's just another part of their lives. They are the generation that has communicated with the world through devices since birth, unlike the older generation.”

“Most of those in the top real estate bracket are highly educated people. They are increasing their real estate holdings faster than others, and they are investing more in the education of their children. In other words, both real estate and education are inherited. This situation is especially true among those in their 40s or 50s. There used to be a belief among Koreans that everyone can earn income and buy a home under the same conditions. The possibility of moving up the socioeconomic ladder through savings and purchasing a home used to be a source of strong motivation for individuals, and it became a driving force of economic development as a result. Being able to purchase real estate, which was once a means to climb up the socioeconomic ladder, is now only widening the gap between classes and making that gap permanent.”

“The gap between those who have assets and those who don't has expanded dramatically. The gap has also widened among those who do have assets, depending on where they own property. In the past, one could accumulate assets by saving their income, but now it has become almost impossible to make up for that gap through earned income or savings.”

“The MZ generation has distinctive characteristics: they have less loyalty to the company or organization they belong to and rather have higher loyalty towards themselves. At the same time, they are a generation of (economic) instability. The MZ generation is understood to have an unstable future. For example, they aren't able to buy a house even if they save 100 percent of their income over many years working at a company…. So, unlike baby boomers, they don't want to commit themselves to one job, because they know it's not going to work. They are the generation that spent their childhood during the era of Korea's rapid economic growth, meaning that they have high standards and expectations in terms of their lifestyle, as well as a tendency to be keen on high-end goods such as luxury brands. But these goods are becoming more and more expensive. They are exploring different jobs, similarly to how corporations diversify their business portfolios, to increase their chances of being successful, because they don't know which of their jobs will hit the target.”

“The times have changed. In the past, we believed only those in extreme poverty were in a difficult situation, but today those in the middle class are also having difficulties, with many of them in irregular jobs. Such promises of handing out money, especially Governor Lee's [Lee Jae-myung] basic income policy pledge, are reflecting the changes.”

“For them [Millennials and Generation Z], the older generations are, whether they are conservative or liberal, people with vested rights and interests. Unlike the older generation who usually have a specific political inclination, younger people are a non-ideological generation. It is said they were liberal (in the 2017 presidential election) but became conservative in the by-elections (by choosing PPP [People Power Party] candidates). They do not care about ideology, and move according to their own interests, so they will vote for a candidate who can deal with their issues regardless of whether the candidate is conservative or liberal.”
