[Why Korea 13] The Country That Had No Guns. How Did It Become the World's Armory?

  July 2026, Ankara, Türkiye. The President of Korea took the stage at NATO's defense industry forum. He said this: "Let's move beyond simply trading weapons systems, toward a partnership where we research together, produce together, and operate together." NATO's Secretary General called Korea's defense industrial base "fantastic." After that speech ended, I couldn't shake one thought. A little over seventy years ago, this country barely had a gun to its name. 1950: We Had Nothing Before dawn on June 25, 1950, North Korean troops crossed the 38th parallel. The Korean military had the will to fight, but not the weapons to fight with. Mostly surplus M1 rifles supplied by the US military after World War II — no tanks worth the name, barely any artillery, and next to no anti-tank weapons or ammunition reserves. North Korea pushed south behind Soviet T-34 tanks. In the opening days of the war, Korea's forces collapsed with almost nothing to...

[Why Korea 07] Why Did Korea Make AI a National Strategy?

  Recently, the Korean government unveiled its vision of becoming one of the world's top three AI nations . At first, it sounded like just another government initiative.

So why did Korea decide to make AI a national priority? AI Isn't Creating a New Industry. It's Transforming Existing Ones. Korea has never been a country rich in natural resources. Instead, it built its economy through technology and manufacturing. Today, industries such as automobiles, semiconductors, batteries, and shipbuilding remain the backbone of the Korean economy. But AI is beginning to change how those industries compete. Cars are no longer judged only by engine performance. Software continuously updates vehicles, and AI increasingly assists drivers. Factories are changing as well. Instead of relying only on the experience of sk...

[Why Korea 12] How Korea's 'Dying' Shipyards Roared Back?

  My younger brother lives in Ulsan. Ulsan was once the city with the highest average income in all of Korea. That was when shipbuilding, automobiles, and petrochemicals were all running at full speed at the same time. Then shipbuilding began to crack, and the mood shifted. Foreclosure listings flooded the market, and the streets grew quiet. These days, my sibling says things seem to be slowly coming back. The worst is probably over. But it's still hard to say the local economy has truly recovered. The news talks about Korea's shipbuilding revival. But the temperature on the ground rises more slowly than the headlines suggest. So how did the crisis begin — and how did the industry get to where it is today? The End of the Boom: Korea's Shipbuilding Collapse (2008–2016) In the early 2000s, Korea was the world's number one shipbuilder. A significant share of the world's vessels were being built in shipyards in Geoje, Ulsan, and Mokpo. Order backlogs were overflowi...
