South Korea's economic landscape has been significantly shaped by its large family-owned conglomerates, known as chaebols. These entities have driven the nation's rapid development, but also face criticism for their dominant market position and governance issues.

Skip Montreux and Dez Morgan examine the world of South Korean chaebols and the phenomenon known as the Korea Discount. They explore the history and structure of these powerful business entities, their economic influence, and the controversies surrounding them. Their discussion also covers how these conglomerates impact the valuation of South Korean companies on the global stage, and the reasons behind the Korea Discount.
