About this listen

In this episode, I speak to Yeseo Im, an Advertising and Business Analytics student at Sookmyung Women’s University in Seoul. With experience in student government, an international exchange in Switzerland, and an internship in the ad-tech industry, Yeseo brings a unique perspective on South Korea’s evolving protest culture and civic engagement.

We explore the current climate for peaceful demonstrations in South Korea, the role protests play in shaping political and social change, and the key issues that have mobilized the public in recent years. Additionally, we discuss how South Korea’s approach to civil unrest is perceived by the international community and global media.

Join us for an insightful conversation on activism, social movements, and the power of collective voices in South Korea.

P.S. President Yoon was arrested the day after the recording of this episode, on the 15th of January 2025.
