Policy Forum 04-03A: Don’t Misunderstand Firing of South Korean Foreign Minister February 5, 2004 Brent Choi
In this brief essay, Brent Choi, North Korea specialist for the Joongang Daily, argues that the recent dismissal of South Korean Foreign Affairs and Trade Minister Yoon Young-kwan has been grossly misinterpreted by the U.S. media as an outgrowth of the struggle between pro-U.S. and anti-U.S. factions within the Roh administration. Instead, Yoon’s dismissal must be interpreted through the socio-cultural prism of South Korea’s bureaucratic society.
