Professor Jang Dal-joong emphasized that security issues on the Korean Peninsula are closely related to the international situation and must be approached from an international perspective. Professor Choi Dae-seok also said that 2024 is evaluated as the worst period for inter-Korean relations and that we must prepare for the possibility of North Korean provocations in the first half of 2025.
Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Choi Yun-hee said that as the conflict between the U.S. and China has intensified due to China’s maritime expansion policy, Korea should seriously consider whether to intervene in the event of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. Professor Nam Sung-wook and Professor Kim Myeong-seop discussed the importance of the ROK-US alliance during the second Trump administration, and reporter Geum Cheol-young vividly conveyed the horrors of the war by introducing the Russia-Ukraine war, which he personally covered.

Meanwhile, the KWO Nagy Forum, which means ‘Korea War-memorial Organization Forum to Protect the Country,’ was designed to accurately recognize the importance of national security and the rapidly changing international situation and inform the public about this. The KWO Nagy Forum is scheduled to be held on various topics in 2025.
