South Korea Storm

A purported video of South Korea's First Lady accepting a Dior bag as a gift has set in motion a political storm for President Yoon Suk Yeol and his People Power Party (PPP) just weeks before the parliamentary election.

Continuing its dominating performance, India men's hockey team defeated South Korea 5-3 in the semi-final to set up a summit clash at the Asian Games.

South Korea scrambled 80 aircraft, including, F-35A stealth fighters, in response. About 240 aircraft participating in the Vigilant Storm air exercises with the United States continued the drills, the military said.

South Korea hunkered down for the arrival of Typhoon Haishen on Monday, after the powerful storm battered Japan's southern islands but appeared to pass through without major damage or casualties.

Flights were grounded in South Korea and storm warnings issued on both sides of the Korean peninsula as a typhoon forecast to be one of the most powerful in years made its approach Wednesday.

Goals from Lee Jeong-Hyeop and Kim Young-Gwon did the job for the Koreans, who dominated a wet semi-final in Sydney to move a step closer to ending a title drought dating all the way back to 1960.

South Korea's two top technology firms, Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics, have a history of bitter rivalry, but their latest spat over a handful of washing machines has prompted a barrage of public mockery.

A severe storm hit South Korea's southern regions Saturday, forcing flights to be grounded and causing property damage, weather authorities said.

Thousands of South Korean police forced their way into the compound of a splinter Christian group Wednesday in their search for a fugitive businessman wanted over April's ferry disaster.

Divers were battling atrocious weather conditions and powerful swell on Sunday in their grim search for corpses believed trapped in the sunken South Korean ferry, a coastguard spokesman said.

Dive teams raced on Friday to pull more than 100 bodies from a sunken South Korean ferry as storm clouds loomed and the victims' families angrily pressed officials to wrap up the recovery effort.

Snow-choked roads cut off thousands on Tuesday as parts of Japan struggled to dig out from its second storm in a week, with the death toll rising to at least 23.

As the US struggles to avert a debt default, Asia's policymakers have trillions of reasons to believe they may be shielded from the latest financial storm brewing across the Pacific.

In the second round in April, Australia will play Uzbekistan and Japan take on arch-rivals South Korea for a place in September's World Group play-offs.
