Adieu 2025 and welcome 2026!
The turbulent year 2025 fades away and the New Year 2026 is dawning now. In 2025, Korea experienced some good things, but also went through devastating wildfires, massive flooding and bombing accidents, in addition to the usual border tensions with the North and internal political turmoil caused by the arrest of ex-President Yoon Suk Yeol.
In 2025, the world, too, experienced some good things. But it also witnessed international conflicts, such as the Iran-Israel war in June, in addition to the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war and the Israel-Hamas war. Severe climate disasters hit many countries, including India and Pakistan, and civil wars devastated Sudan and Congo. Meanwhile, the drastic increase in the US tariffs appalled many countries.
Bidding adieu to the tempestuous 2025, we are now greeting the New Year, hoping that in 2026, everything will be better than in 2025. We hope that in 2026 the world will become a serene, peaceful place where we can live safely and comfortably without worry or anxiety. We wish that we would put an end to regional wars and international conflicts, banish tyranny from the earth and overcome the climate crisis.
