View descriptionShare

Originally broadcast 10/4/22

In South Korea's recent presidential election, conservative candidate Yoon Seok- youl won back the position from the previous centre-liberal Democratic Party. Yoon was a controversial candidate, with campaign rhetoric that was openly sexist, anti-worker and sabre-rattling towards North Korea.

Writer and activist Ju-Hyun Park breaks down the social and economic factors underpinning Yoon's victory, the roots of South Korean misogyny in militarism and imperialism, and the future of North and South relations on the Korean peninsula.
