Voters will soon elect a new leader for South Korea, who will shape the country’s economy, domestic politics, and foreign policy for the next half-decade. This event will help attendees better understand the major fault lines in the presidential election, identify key issues for voters, and interpret what each leading candidate could mean for the U.S.-South Korea relationship.

 

KEI President and CEO Scott Snyder will moderate a discussion between three leading U.S. and South Korean journalists who will offer informed, on-the-ground perspectives on the presidential frontrunners. The conversation will explore the factors shaping the election, including economic challenges, national security concerns, and regional dynamics, along with generational and other divides among the electorate.
