On the Fringe

Season 2, Episode 2: Korea's Festering Crisis


Listen Later

Hello all! 안녕하세요 여러분! We have our second episode of Season 2.

(Little secret: this is actually the first one we recorded for the season)

Kicking this off, our thoughts and prayers are with those who lost loved ones in the Jeju Air plane crash in Jeolla nam-Do. I (Dave) have flown Jeju Air and have found them to be a reputable and safe airline overall.

In this episode, Gavin and I dissect the political mess in South Korea, including providing background into both sides of the protests (for and against President Yoon’s impeachment) and what we predict for the country moving forward based on our analysis. They’re in a VERY tight spot economically (maybe except for exporting electronics and computer chips) and the ongoing political crisis is not helping the situation.

Have a listen and give us some feedback. Don’t forget to subscribe or send us a shout or an emoji (👍 or 🖕works!)

On the FringeBy Slightly scripted. Slightly edited. And at times, slightly unhinged. Welcome to On The Fringe!
