Mwamba continued to advocate while explaining the situation in Congo. I listened carefully gathering information from his words. How much time had passed? Shortly after Medvedev returned from his brief meeting with President Yoon Chang-ho. As he downed champagne right after taking his seat I asked him. "How did the meeting go?" Medvedev rubbed his neck and nodded. "Well enough I suppose. Today was just to congratulate his inauguration so we didn't get into detailed negotiations. I also needed to…-

As conversations flowed, President Yoon Chang-ho entered the banquet hall. Upon seeing this, Powell spoke up. "I'll be heading over to that table now. I'll likely be in the U.S. before the year ends, so let's continue our discussion then." "Sounds good. I'll wait for you in the U.S." Powell stood up from his table and moved over to where Medvedev was seated. That table was filled with congratulatory delegations from countries friendly to Russia. "Chairman Medvedev." Medvedev turned his head, having…

There was no need to use democracy as justification. All they needed to do was oust Kim Jong-il, force him to step down as a symbolic figure and restructure the political system into a collective leadership under Jang Seong-taek. "You want to remove Kim Jong-il?" "Yes. Kim Jong-il is always the variable when trying to do business with North Korea. I've met with him multiple times for discussions and tried persuading him through friendly means. But he's the type to change his mind on a whim. You can't…

The unusually cold winter was drawing to a close. I headed to the Capitol to attend President Yoon Chang-ho's inauguration ceremony. When I arrived singers were performing celebratory songs as part of the pre-ceremony events. A crowd had gathered to witness the inauguration. I made my way past the sea of people toward my designated seat on the platform. Despite requesting a spot in the back row my seat was assigned near the front. This inauguration saw unprecedented attendance from foreign…

Jeong Tae-hoon and Jang Geun-seok were arguing in front of the interrogation room. When I stepped out they both stopped and turned to look at me. Jang Geun-seok called out to me immediately. "Mr. Kim Mu-hyeok!" Jang Geun-seok tried to walk past Jeong Tae-hoon but Tae-hoon blocked his path. Irritated by Jeong Tae-hoon acting like my bodyguard Jang Geun-seok stopped and glared at him. "Step aside. It's all over now." "Yes sir." Following the order Jeong Tae-hoon took a step to the side. Jang…

Seo Jae-hoon slowly opened his eyes. His emotionless gaze sparked to life the moment he spotted me. "How are you holding up?" "Why don't you come see for yourself? The room next to mine is empty. Interested?" There was nothing left to hide between us. No need for fake formalities or pretenses to mask our true feelings. We naturally dropped the honorifics. I smirked at Jae-hoon's behavior. Pulling out a metal chair tucked deep under the table I sat facing him. "I heard you didn't say a word for ten…

I approached Oh Hyeon-woo and his family who were standing to greet their guests. As I got closer I first greeted Oh Jeong-seok, the Chief Justice. "Congratulations Chief Justice." "Boss Kim! You made it! Good to see you." "You look quite radiant today sir. One might mistake you for the groom." "Haha this guy and his jokes." Oh Jeong-seok laughed heartily at my comment drawing a few glances from nearby guests. "So you're here Mu-hyeok?" Oh Hyeon-woo grumbled with pursed lips. "Why the long face?…

Things started moving quickly with Seo Jae-hoon's case. The detention warrant review requested by Il-seong Group's Legal Department was rejected by the court. Despite Jang Geun-seok's multiple attempts to meet with the judge overseeing the detention warrant review, the judge refused all meetings. Without even a single hearing, they issued a summary dismissal. Goryeo Daily published articles about it every day and other media outlets followed suit with their own coverage of Seo Jae-hoon. Then came time…

Though reporters swarmed him with questions Jae-hoon remained silent surrounded by guards as he boarded the transport bus. The bus pulled away from the courthouse picking up speed. After a long drive Jae-hoon stepped off the transport bus. "Welcome Vice Chairman Seo…

I sat alone in the empty sauna of Myeong-dong Hotel sweating it out. I'd lost track of time when the glass door opened letting in a rush of cool air. With a towel draped over my head I spoke without turning. "Lee Myeong-su. Took you long enough." "Whew this is the first time I've seen the sauna completely empty. Nice and quiet." "Stop deflecting. It's better if we're not seen together that's why I cleared it out. Sit down." Myeong-su walked over and sat beside me turning the hourglass as he…
