AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

U.S.-ROK Alliance Shock: President Lee Jae-myung backed Trump’s push to restart North Korea diplomacy, calling it a “pacemaker” for peace, while also stressing Seoul must boost defense spending toward 3.5% of GDP after Trump ordered a “substantial” cut to joint drills. North Korea Response: Pyongyang dismissed the scaled-back Ulchi Freedom Shield as no “goodwill measure,” with Kim Yo Jong saying the reduction won’t change its “provocative” nature, even as Trump says he expects to meet Kim later this year. China Diplomacy: Chinese FM Wang Yi met Cho Hyun in Seoul, saying Beijing is ready to play a constructive role and is “actively considering” a China-South Korea summit at APEC, while urging Seoul to pursue more independent diplomacy. Markets & Tech: Foreign investment in South Korea surged to a record $3.02T in Q2 on a stock rally; Samsung is weighing a major shareholder return program, while SK Hynix’s buyback lifted related stocks. Business & Finance: Kakao Mobility reportedly filed confidentially for a U.S. IPO, and BitGo Korea cleared VASP registration to expand crypto custody services. City Life: Seoul plans shaded walking routes as extreme heat hits, and new land-use data shows 92% of Koreans live in just 17% of the country.
