| Summary/Abstract |
EVERY AMERICAN PRESIDENT wants to make history. Few of them succeeded; most of them simply were not up to the mark; and some made it with a negative mark, to put it mildly. All and every master of the White House wants to be remembered for a long time, if not forever; by the end of the second term, if the head of the American state reaches this phase of political glory at all, the desire becomes an urge. Personal ambitions become inflated in each and every "lame duck" (the absurd or even ridiculing term applied to the president at the end of his presidential career, which means that he has become, to a certain extent, "waste material"). Each and every "lame duck" tries to use the last chance to prove to the Americans, the world community and, in the final analysis, to himself that he was not another faceless pawn in the Oval Office, that his election was not a mistake and that he has formulated a development algorithm for his country or, better still, for the world, that would not be immediately pushed aside by the next administration on the American political Olympus.

| Summary/Abstract |
The two biggest stories of 2021 in South Korea were a cutthroat presidential nomination and the nationwide outcry over soaring housing prices. Both the ruling and opposition parties had gone through a noisy and murky nomination process. In 2021, housing prices continued to rise, causing citizens’ anxiety and anger to reach their peak, and the president apologized for the failure of the real estate policy. Despite the maladministration, president Moon Jae-in, unlike previous presidents, did not become a lame duck. Meanwhile, the popularity of Hallyu, or the Korean Wave, continued with the success of the movie Minari, K-pop band BTS, and the Netflix drama series Squid Game.
