About this episode
Hello!
Today we have on Max Kim, the Seoul correspondent for the LA Times and a repeat TTSG guest to provide a worthy service. If you are interested in what's happening in Korea but don't know a whole lot about Korea history, politics, or even who President Yoon might be outside of a few viral clips of him singing and his incredibly stupid recent coup attempt, Max is here to provide his analysis and his reportage on everything from what Yoon might been thinking, how he came into power, the Korean traditions of protest, and everything else you might want to know that we could fit into an hour and fifteen minutes.
Please read Max's writing on this.
a great piece from 2022 in the Baffler about Yoon
LA Times article from yesterday on "who is running South Korea right now?"
A moving piece about the Gwangju Massacre
