Syd-Koreas president, Thomas More Kim Dae Jung, ble den 13. oktober 2000 kåret til vinner av Nobels Fredspris. President Kim Dae Jung er praktiserende katolikk, og hans anstrengelser for nasjonal forsoning både innen Syd-Korea og mellom de koreanske stater har også en kirkelig kontekst. På disse sidene bringer vi bakgrunnsstoff og nyheter om Kim Dae Jung og om og fra den katolske kirke i Korea.
