Regarding the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue, we reaffirm that we are staunchly committed to realizing the denuclearization of the peninsula and upholding the international nuclear nonproliferation system. Both sides will continue to strictly enact all UN Security Council resolutions. And at the same time, we are committed to continuing to solve the North Korean nuclear issue through dialogue and talks.

North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the 'Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times.' Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!

There is a lot of extreme emotion in Korean film. It's because there are a lot of extremes in Korean society.

Well, we ought to make clear to everybody that the next Korean War, if one were ever to happen, is going to be the last Korean War because it's going to end with a unified peninsula, and it's go to be under Seoul, not Pyongyang.

The reason why I always wanted to make an American film was because of the Western genre. It is something that I would very much like to make in the future, because it's very uniquely American, and I can't make a Western film in Korean.

As a child I always loved traditional Korean masked dances. There is something magical about a mask because we all wear or hide behind a metaphoric mask, and ultimately underneath this metaphor is our true vulnerable core. I think we all want to reveal ourselves but can only do so when we feel we are safe.

In Korean films there is only really a strong tradition of melodramas.

If the United States is accommodating, the North Koreans become accommodating. If the United States is hostile, they become hostile.
Noam Chomsky

Where are the Black businesses? They're not here. The Koreans are here, the Chinese are here, the Arabs are here, the Indians are here. Everybody that wants to make a dollar is making a dollar on our lack of thought to do something for ourselves that was not present in that older generation that came from the South.
Louis Farrakhan

The steady progress made by North Korea on its nuclear and missile programs is deeply concerning. The US cannot solve this problem alone. However, in order to take steps that could fundamentally affect the North Korean leadership and its decision-making, we need to work even more closely with our allies in the region who feel this threat acutely. I would urge China, in particular, to intensify its leadership role in helping to solve this crisis.

The Korean War has also show quite clearly that in a major conflict manpower is as important as horsepower.
Aly Khan

After listening to the radio, I learned what the North Korean government had been telling us about the war was not true. This myth allowed the North to hold the South responsible for the war.
Kang Chol-hwan
23.
I remember the Korean War very well. And I remember the soldiers who were POWs who supposedly were "brainwashed," quote, unquote, who gave in, so to speak. And when they came back, they were treated like pariahs and traitors.
Martin Scorsese

I was told many times that my writing was either too Korean - or not Korean enough.
Min Jin Lee

For women in my family, in Korean culture, women are really valued in their youth, and then when they get older, it's like they almost become irrelevant.
Margaret Cho

I will bring more Korean dance moves and Korean songs overseas.

The entire world has one goal, and that is the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula, we want to achieve that peaceably, but all options are on the table.
Mike Pence

I tend not to use the humor which would only apply to Koreans, or which would only affect the Koreans, as much as I can.
Park Chan-wook

I don't think there's much chance that the North Koreans would attack Guam or any other territory out of the blue. They would only counterattack if they felt existentially threatened. The questions is, At want point will North Korea feel it is threatened enough to make such a strike? We don't know that yet.
Charles K. Armstrong

All of which suggested literary translation, and Korean seemed a good bet - barely anything available in English, yet it was a modern, developed country, so the work had to be out there, plus the rarity would make it both easier to secure a student grant and more of a niche when it came to work.
Deborah Smith

Gaining trust is not difficult for me. I needed to gain the trust of the North Korean supervisors.
Werner Herzog

Women in Korean myths disappear after giving birth. The reason they were born is to produce sons.
Kim Hyesoon

It makes it very hard to say what you believe in and not be attacked for it. And it's not fair; I'm Korean, but I'm not supposed to talk about my experience and my life? It's unaccepting.
Margaret Cho

Robert Scheer

Trump has put the resolution of the North Korean nuclear issue at the top of his priority list, and he has employed a tactic of maximum pressure and engagement, but engagement can only occur if the conditions are right.
Moon Jae-in
39.
The era of strategic patience with the North Korean regime has failed. Many years, and it's failed. And, frankly, that patience is over.
Donald Trump
40.
We would welcome that, but it's going to require a commitment on the part of the North Koreans to denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula and pursuing a stable relationship with their neighbors. Instead, we've seen a lot of provocations and a flouting of international norms and obligations.
Josh Earnest

If Sony's not going to show 'The Interview,' that's it. No more North Korean movies for me.

Park Chan-wook

The North Korean regime is extremely fiery, extremely insecure, sometimes hysterical. And when you're around somebody who's screaming and unstable, the last thing you want to do is add to the instability with your own unstable, hysterical rhetoric.
David Brooks

I'm smart cause I'm Korean, I'm not so smart cause I'm from the south. They cancel each other out, so I'm even.
Henry Cho

North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un reportedly has had 15 of his top officials executed. So the lesson here is when Kim Jong Un comes to work with a new haircut, you tell him, 'Looking good, Un.'

In my creative films, if there was something, some humorous moment that is lost to a non-Korean speaking audience, I'll be very sad.
