SEOUL, March 16 (UPI) — South Korea’s Ministry of Intellectual Property has appointed former Go champion Lee Sedol as its first ambassador, 10 years after his landmark competition with AlphaGo.
The ministry said Friday that the appointment would help it communicate its policy direction to the public in a more symbolic and accessible way.
A few years after the 2016 contest against AlphaGo, Lee retired from the strategic board game that is popular in Korea, Japan, and China. He is now a special professor at the country’s Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology.
Back then, AlphaGo ultimately beat Lee in the five-game series. However, Lee managed to secure a historic victory in the fourth game.
“Professor Lee is recorded as the first and also the last human to defeat AI,” Intellectual Property Minister Kim Young-sun said at the event.
“Regardless of the outcome of his match against AI, I believe that he demonstrated a desirable model for the AI era — not viewing AI merely as something to overcome or challenge, but as a partner with which we can cooperate and coexist,” he said.
Lee promised to support the ministry, the country’s government organization responsible for policies related to patents trademarks, and other intellectual property rights.
“Ten years ago, there was the match against AlphaGo. I think that may have been the starting point of AI. Now it has become difficult to imagine a world without AI,” Lee said.
“In line with these changes, I believe that an important task for the MOIP is how well it collaborates and adapts to this environment to continue developing and advancing,”

President Lee Jae Myung on Monday called for authorities to swiftly introduce a cap on local fuel prices, and preemptive responses to cope with surging gas prices and volatility in foreign exchange markets as the U.S.-led war with Iran has intensified in the Middle East.
Lee made the remarks during an interministerial meeting to assess the latest developments following U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran and Tehran’s retaliatory attacks across the Middle East, which have prompted the price of Brent oil to surge through US$100 per barrel.
“As the crisis in the Middle East deepens, uncertainty in the domestic and global economic environment is expanding significantly, posing a considerable burden on the Korean economy relying heavily on global trade and energy imports from the Middle East,” Lee said.
Lee also called for preemptive responses Monday with worst-case scenarios in mind to address the economic fallout from heightened tensions in the Middle East, urging financial stability measures and the exploration of alternative energy routes.
“As it is difficult to predict how the situation will unfold, the government must prepare preemptive response measures with a sense of urgency, keeping even the worst-case scenario in mind,” he added.
Lee urged the government and the Bank of Korea to prepare additional preemptive measures to respond to rising volatility in financial and foreign exchange markets, instructing authorities to expand the 100 trillion-won ($66.8 billion) market stabilization program if necessary.
“We should identify hidden risks and meticulously prepare response measures.”
Lee also called for measures to address uncertainty surrounding energy supplies amid concerns over disruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a major global shipping route.
“We will coordinate with strategic partner countries to promptly explore alternative routes that do not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz,” he said.
In addition, he urged the government to crack down on collusion between refiners and gas stations, price fixing, and hoarding, calling for strict punishment of violators and the implementation of a price cap system on gasoline and diesel.

March 6 (Asia Today) — South Korean President Lee Jae-myung’s approval rating rose to 65%, matching its highest level since he took office, according to a new national poll released Thursday.
A survey conducted by Korea Gallup from Monday through Wednesday among 1,001 adults nationwide found 65% of respondents approved of Lee’s job performance, up 1 percentage point from the previous week. Negative evaluations fell 1 point to 25%.
The poll shows Lee’s approval rating has increased steadily in recent weeks, rising from 63% in mid-February to 64% in late February and reaching 65% in the latest survey.
The figure matches the peak level recorded in early July shortly after Lee’s administration began, marking a return to the highest level in about eight months.
Regionally, approval exceeded 60% in most parts of the country, except in the conservative strongholds of Daegu and North Gyeongsang Province, where support stood at 49%, and Busan, Ulsan and South Gyeongsang Province, where it reached 58%.
Support was strongest in Gwangju and South Jeolla Province, where Lee recorded a 94% approval rating.
Across age groups, approval ratings exceeded 50% among all generations. Support was highest among voters in their 40s at 79% and those in their 50s at 77%. Among centrist voters, approval reached 70%.
Respondents who evaluated Lee positively most frequently cited economic and livelihood policies at 18%, followed by real estate policy at 16% and foreign policy at 11%.
Among those with negative views, the most common reasons included dissatisfaction with real estate and economic policies at 13%, concerns about changes to laws at 8% and criticism of authoritarian leadership at 7%.

Feb. 27 (Asia Today) — President Lee Jae-myung has put his Bundang apartment up for sale at a price below market value, the presidential office said Thursday, describing the move as a demonstration of his commitment to stabilizing the real estate market.
Presidential spokesperson Kang Yu-jeong said Lee listed the apartment in Bundang, Seongnam, jointly owned with first lady Kim Hye-kyung, earlier in the day.
Although Lee was a single-home owner using the property for residential purposes, the decision is intended to “personally demonstrate to the public his determination to normalize the real estate market,” Kang said. The apartment was listed below both last year’s transaction price and current market estimates, she added.
A presidential official said Lee had long signaled his intention to sell the property and obtained consent from the tenant before listing it.
The apartment, a 164-square-meter unit in the Yangji Village Geumho 1 complex, was reportedly listed at 2.9 billion won ($2.17 million). Similar units are currently on the market for between 3.1 billion won and 3.2 billion won ($2.32 million-$2.39 million).
The official said Lee believes that selling the home and investing the proceeds in exchange-traded funds or other financial instruments would be “more economically advantageous” than holding the property.
“If the real estate market stabilizes in the future, it may be better to sell now and purchase a residence to use after leaving office,” the official said.
The opposition People Power Party had criticized Lee for promoting real estate market normalization while retaining the Bundang property, which some expect could benefit from redevelopment.
Party leader Jang Dong-hyuk recently pressured Lee to sell the apartment, saying he would dispose of his own multiple properties if the president did so.
Earlier, several presidential aides, including the spokesperson and press secretary Kim Sang-ho, also listed non-occupied homes for sale in line with the administration’s housing policy stance.

Feb. 25 (Asia Today) — President Lee Jae-myung on Tuesday promoted expanded financial rewards for whistleblowers who report stock price manipulation, saying payouts could reach tens or even hundreds of billions of won.
“Now, reporting stock manipulation can earn you tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of won in rewards,” Lee wrote on social media. “It is certainly easier than winning the lottery to change your life.”
Lee urged individuals to refrain from engaging in stock manipulation, warning that such conduct would lead to severe consequences. He added that even participants in manipulation schemes could receive reduced punishment and financial rewards if they come forward.
The president shared a post by Financial Services Commission Chair Lee Won-eun outlining plans to raise whistleblower rewards to as much as 30% of illicit gains recovered.
A day earlier at a Cabinet meeting, Lee made similar remarks about rewards for reporting collusion, telling Fair Trade Commission Chair Joo Byung-ki that generous payouts could serve as a deterrent.
The administration has said it aims to strengthen enforcement against unfair market practices by increasing incentives for insiders to report wrongdoing.

Feb. 25 (Asia Today) — President Lee Jae-myung on Tuesday defended his directive to review a comprehensive survey and possible sale orders for uncultivated farmland, rejecting criticism that the move amounts to communist-style policy.
Lee said on social media that some critics “misunderstand the constitutional principle of land to the tiller and talk about the Communist Party” in response to his order.
He clarified that the review does not target inherited farmland or land left uncultivated due to age or unavoidable circumstances. Instead, he said it focuses on cases in which individuals submit farming plans for speculative purposes, acquire farmland and then fail to cultivate it themselves.
Under South Korea’s Constitution and the Farmland Act, only those who intend to farm the land directly may acquire farmland. Prospective buyers must submit a farming plan detailing how they will cultivate it. If they fail to do so, authorities may issue a sale order through legal procedures.
Lee emphasized that the “land to the tiller” principle was enshrined in the Constitution under former President Syngman Rhee, who also led postwar land redistribution by acquiring land from non-farming landlords and distributing it to farmers.
“The government’s land reform based on this principle became the foundation of South Korea’s economic development,” Lee said, adding that even critics of Rhee acknowledge his achievements in land reform. “Syngman Rhee was not a communist,” he said.
At a Cabinet meeting Monday, Lee said high farmland prices are making it difficult for people seeking to return to farming or rural life.
“We need to lower the cost of returning to farming, and fundamentally that requires bringing down land prices,” he said, calling for a full-scale investigation and possible sale orders if illegal activity is found.
Lee added that soaring real estate prices are at the root of many social and economic problems in the country.

In her apparent baby announcement, Katie was also quick to take a swipe at Lee’s ex partner Alana Percival, who he was engaged to last year.
In a shock rant, Katie took to social media and said: “Alana I know rejection doesn’t feel nice and I’m married to Lee Andrews the man you want and will never have again.
“Your constant lies and put downs is clearly showing how bitter you are, go live your life little girl.
Who is Katie Price’s husband Lee Andrews?

Lee also shared images – since proven to be AI – of him working with Elon Musk and Kim Kardashian
It’s been revealed shameless Lee told former girlfriends that he had studied at Cambridge University, and has a PhD in biotechnology science
But The Sun has seen a response from the university explaining it could not find a record of Lee being registered as a student with a date of birth they had provided
His LinkedIn profile says Lee has been a Member of the Board of Advisors to the Labour Party since 2015
Lee was also mocked for repeating theexact same wedding proposalon Katie – that he did for another woman just four months ago.
“I know the truth and your now embarrassing yourself, go and have the little respect for yourself that’s left.
“I know all about you and who you are.
“At least I’m the real woman he has found and deserves, but please just enjoy watching us build our empire as I’m having his child.
“I’ll enjoy the ride and big d*** energy now, I’m in the saddle.
“He’s the most beautiful human I know who never took anything from you.”
Katie furiously added: “Now disappear back under that bridge you irrelevant little troll.”
While Lee also appeared to confirm the baby news by sharing a picture of him and Katie and writing: “Perfect couple, soon to be triple.”
Over the weekend, he shared an image seemingly showing him cradling Katie’s tummy with his hand.
Last month Alana, 32, and Crystal, 40, told The Sun exclusively how they were hoodwinked by the businessman — branding him a lying swindler who preys on women.

The cause of death for Victoria Jones, the daughter of Hollywood legend Tommy Lee Jones, has been revealed a month and a half after she was found dead in a hotel in San Francisco on New Year’s Day.
The San Francisco medical examiner released a report Tuesday ruling her death accidental, the result of the toxic effects of cocaine. The 34-year-old was discovered dead at the Fairmont San Francisco in the early hours of Jan. 1.
San Francisco police responded to a call at 3:14 a.m. regarding a report of a deceased person at the hotel. Officers met with medics at the scene who declared an adult female dead.
Jones briefly pursued acting, making a cameo alongside her father in “Men in Black II” (2002) and later appearing in “The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada” (2005), which was directed by her father. She later largely remained out of the spotlight and struggled with substance abuse.
In August 2023, her father petitioned that she be placed under temporary conservatorship, according to Marin County court records.
At the time of the filing, she was under a 14-day involuntary psychiatric hold at a hospital in the community of Greenbrae, and her father wanted her to be transferred to a rehabilitation facility, according to a copy of the petition acquired by the San Francisco Chronicle.
“The proposed conservatee needs to recover and work towards sobriety,” the petition stated. “For these reasons, the proposed conservatee will suffer irreparable harm if her residence is not changed from a hospital to a rehab facility.”
Margaret Caron Schmierer was granted temporary conservatorship over Jones in August 2023. Jones retained an attorney and fought the conservatorship.
Then, in December 2023, Tommy Lee Jones filed a petition for the convervatorship to be terminated, which was granted, court records show.
In 2025, Jones was arrested twice in Napa County.
She was charged with three misdemeanor counts — being under the influence of a controlled substance, possession of a narcotic and obstruction of a peace officer — from an incident on April 26. She was later charged with misdemeanor domestic battery from an incident on June 13, court records show. She pleaded not guilty to all charges and the cases remained open at the time of her death.
Jones was the daughter of Tommy Lee and ex-wife Kimberlea Cloughley. She is also survived by her older brother, Austin Jones.
Tommy Lee Jones is known for his Academy Award-winning role as U.S. Marshal Sam Gerard in “The Fugitive” (1993) alongside other iconic roles such as Agent K in “Men in Black” (1997) and as Sheriff Ed Tom Bell in “No Country for Old Men” (2007).

Victoria acted as a child, appearing in Men in Black II and later The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada.
She also made a one-episode appearance on One Tree Hill.
Although she stepped away from acting, Victoria still appeared with her father at public events.
In the year before her death, Victoria was arrested at least twice, court records show.
A police report was made in April last year by her husband, Navek Ceja, 44, who alleged she had been taking cocaine, the Daily Mail reports.
He claimed his wife had been using the drug over a 48 hour period while staying at his family’s luxury winery in Napa.
Cops arrived at the scene and said Jones was talking quickly and “was fighting with her body movements”.
She tried to fight away the officers and claimed the 911 call was a mistake, the report adds.
Jones later admitted to using cocaine and was taken to a local jail where officers found a white powder inside her coat.
She was charged with being under the influence of drugs, resisting arrest and possessing a controlled substance.
Two months later, Jones and Ceja reportedly got into a heated fight at the Carneros Resort and Spa in Sonoma.
Ceja, 44, told police that they got into an argument after he confronted her about her drug and alcohol use.
Jones allegedly slapped Ceja around the face twice.
Police were called and Jones was arrested and taken back to the Napa County Jail where she was charged with a misdemeanour domestic violence charge.
Both of the cases were never resolved with Jones due to be in court on the domestic violence count on January 20.
