This week Jun and Daniel risk it all by using the charged 2024 US presidential election as a reason to compare and discuss the political systems and landscape in Korea and America. Our hosts attempt to discuss politics while remaining as neutral as possible, covering topics like the two-party system, campaign financing, big tech's political leanings, and the unique characteristics of conservative and progressive parties in both countries. They also explore the complex relationship between the US and Korea, from military presence to economic dependencies.

If you're interested in learning about how the Electoral College works, why Korean presidents often end up in jail after their terms, what drives young Korean men to become more conservative, or how tech companies navigate political waters differently in Korea versus America, tune in to hear Daniel and Jun discuss all this and more! Also in this episode, Daniel shares his personal struggles with voting and political engagement, while Jun explains the intricacies of Korea's political history and its path to democracy.
