In the thirty years before 1997, real GDP in the Republic of Korea grew an average of 8.1% a year. By this measure, South Korea grew faster than almost every other developing country at the time.

We are joined by Ernabel Demillo, a frequent guest on K Drama Chat and Department Chair of the Communication and Media Culture Department at Saint Peter's University and host of the Emmy-award winning "Asian American Life" show on CUNY-TV. We discuss:The song we feature during the recap: Fallin' by Isaac Hong.Queen of Tears is now the second most popular K Drama of all time on tvN, after Crash Landing on You; both shows are written by Park Ji-eun.tvN has announced two extra episodes at the end of Queen of Tears; what will the episodes be about? Kim Soo-hyun has been nominated for Best Actor in the Baeksang Awards; we feel that Kim Ji-won, Han So-hee, Park Seo-joon, and Kim Tae-ri were snubbed.The Hong family is in a terrible situation. They've been locked out of their house, they don't have cars, their credit cards have been canceled, they've lost control of their company, and they're lost their jobs.The only people who take them in are Hyun-woo and his family.The Hong family is so unaccustomed to hardship and they're miserable in Yongdu-ri.There is such a contrast between the two families in the way they treat each other.There is a huge contrast between the two mothers in the way they treat Hae-in.Both dads are having an identity crisis: they have lost their jobs and purpose.Hyun-woo and Hae-in are driving us crazy because they won't communicate with each other! We think their lack of communication stems from the time Hae-in emptied the nursery and Hyun-woo left the marital bedroom. When this happened, they stopped talking to each other and then their pride wouldn't let them ask the other back into the bedroom.Hyun-woo and Hae-in kept missing opportunities to patch up their relationship, including when Hae-in overheard Hyun-woo talking about wanting to be by her side, when Hyun-woo came home all beat up, and when Hae-in realized the pink MP3 player was hers.There are many in Korea who think the story of Hae-in and Hyun-woo is based on the true story of the granddaughter of the Samsung chaebol who married an ordinary staffer. In 1999, Samsung heiress Lee Boo Jin married Lim Woo Jae.Hyun-woo does a great job of convincing David Yoon that he doesn't know where Hae-in is, even though he did pick them up in a van.The reference to Prince Sado, who was the father of the prince Yi San in Red Sleeve, and who later became King Jeongjo.Instead, Hyun-woo is investigating the land broker, the owner of the data restoration company, the failed investment fund, and the location of the Chairman. Hyun-woo convinced the deceived farmers to sue the land broker, which meant the land broker couldn't leave the country for his honeymoon. Later, the land broker and his thugs try to beat up Hyun-woo, who manages to defend himself ably because he was a champion boxer in his youth.Our crazy predictions for this show:Hyun-woo is going to try and prove that the power of attorney that Moh Sul-hee signed is invalid because it's a forgery, she's not really Moh Sul-hee!Hyun-woo's brother, Baek Hyun-tae, is going to be important because he knows a lot about stocks and previously owned Queen Group stock.Beom-seuk, the Chairman's estranged son, will have some insight into the embezzlement that could save the Chairman, or the person who knows where the secret fund is.Cheon Da-hye, Soo-cheol's wife, will come back and turn on David Yoon.Moh Sul-hee and David Yoon are now at odds with each other because David Yoon didn't want the Hong family banished. David Yoon wants to be with Hae-in.We speculate about why David Yoon is so obsessed with Hae-in.Until the very end, Hyun-woo is in the dark about Hae-in's feelings towards him. He thinks she hates him because he abandoned and deceived her.We feel so sorry for Soo-cheol, who now knows that everything about his wife was fake. She even told him that their son is not his biological son.It looks like Beom-ja will have a romance with the village marriage counselor, who looks like Leslie Cheung. Leslie Cheung is a debonair Hong Kong singer and actor. This prediction came from Laurel, one of our listeners!The theme of regret in this show. Hyun-woo, Hae-in and Beom-ja all express regrets over their actions.Hae-in is so brave when she reveals during the press conference that David Yoon threatened her. In this instance, Hyun-woo finally learns that Hae-in still cares for him.The amazing acting with their eyes by Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Ji-won.The K Drama elements we see in this episode, including: all the crying, all the food, all the drinking, the Trip and Catch, the Bulgari Serpenti necklace that Moh Sul-hee wore, and the Subway scene!Ernabel's recent trip to South Korea with a professor from her school who used to be a police chief in South Korea.The shows we're watching now: Ernabel is watching Marry My Husband, Sung Hee is watching Doctor Slump, and Joanna is watching Captivating the King.ReferencesA sneak peak into the life and work of South Korean singer Isaac HongFallin' by Isaac Hong on YouTubeThe Uncanny Similarities “Queen Of Tears” Bears With A Real-life Heiress StoryPodcast episode with Dan Pink on Brene Brown's show about the Power of RegretLeslie Cheung on WikipediaPodcast episode with Brene Brown and Dan Pink on the Power of Regret

We discuss:The song we feature during the recap: Love You With All My Heart by Crush.Soo Cheol calls Hyun-Woo “maehyeong” 매형, which means older sister's husband.How Hae-in loses her will to live when Hyun-woo admits that he wanted a divorce.How Hyun-woo decides to make Hae-in hate him so that she has a reason to live.How Hyun-woo wants to stay by Hae-in's side even if it means being the subject of her rage, humiliation and hatred; he has powerful reasons for wanting to be by her side.Both Hae-in and Hyun-woo are left wondering if everything the other person said and promised was a lie.Through the flashback of the marriage proposal, we can piece together how our couple got engaged, broke up, got back together, and finally married.How we held our breaths when Hyun-woo discovers that Hae-in has lost her memory of Germany and Hyun-woo wanting a divorce, which means Hae-in has to relive this trauma TWICE.The crazy divorce settlement scene with Song Joong-ki as Vincenzo Cassano.How Hae-in realizes that Hyun-woo was suffering during their marriage; she learns this when she overhears Hyun-woo at Grandma's Home Cooking restaurant.The Chairman wants Hyun-woo fired by Hae-in defends him from the Security Team.How Hyun-woo followed David Yoon when he was following Hae-in.

We recap the episodes and then we discuss:How some Korean families have a pattern where the children share one syllable of their name. An example would be: Baek Hyun-woo and Baek Hyun-tae. This helps us keep the characters straight and know who is related to whom.How Hyun-woo is increasingly ambivalent about his wife. Despite his anger and hate toward his wife, he can't help it, he begins to fall in love with her all over again.What is probably the root of the couple's problems: Hyun-woo came home one day to find staff clearing out the nursery. When he got a cold response from Hae-in, he ordered his things moved to the bedroom and the couple started to sleep separately.Hyun-woo and Hae-in keep missing opportunities to patch up their marriage.Hyun-woo's sister says Hyun-woo likes soft women, women who need to be taken care of. Is this why he was attracted to Hae-in in the first place and why he's falling for her again?Hyun-woo's confession about his tears when he found Hae-in Germany was his last ditch attempt to figure out his feelings toward his wife and to see if they could patch things up in their marriage.Hae-in doesn't understand why he's pulling away. She keeps saying, “I never said that.” Hae-in's tough armor is starting to crack. She is being nice to others and noticing happy, loving families around her.Hyun-woo keeps abandoning Hae-in and Hae-in, for her part, has been abandoned by her husband and family.The crazy plot by David Yoon, Grace, Cheo Da-hye and the former employee. We think David Yoon has a ponzi scheme that he's running, that he doesn't really have a fund that is returning 90% to investors.The evil things that David Yoon is doing to the Hong family, especially Hyu-woo, including installing hidden cameras, searching Hyun-woo's room, planting the microwave receiver in Hyun-woo's room, and getting Hyun-woo's safe opened.We learn that David Yoon and Cheon Da-hye grew up in the same orphanage and even met the Hong family when the Chairman gave a speech at the orphanage. So when did David Yoon and Cheon Da-hye start plotting against the Hong family?We learn that Moh Sul-hee had a different identity thirty years ago, that she was in prison at some point and gave birth to a baby boy while in jail. Could this boy be David Yoon?Hong Beom-ja is turning into a really likable character because she's the one who seems to care about other family members, including Hae-in.We learn how Hae-in's brother, Soo-won, died in a boating accident, while saving Hae-in. Hae-in's mother never forgave Hae-in for the death of her son.Hyun-woo and Hae-in's sweet time in Germany is coming to an end because once Hae-in turns on her phone, she sees the photo of the divorce agreement sent by her mom. The numerous K Drama elements in these episodes, including lots of crying, crying while kissing, the umbrella scene, Hyun-woo's confession about his tears, the product placements for Mercedes-Benz and other products, Hyun-woo tending to cuts on Hae-in's hand and knee.All the references to Crash Landing On You in this show, which makes sense the shows share the same writers.Kim Ji-won's background and acting career!

Today, we'll be discussing Episodes 3 and 4 of Queen of Tears, the hit K Drama on Netflix starring starring Kim Ji-won as Hong Hae-in, Kim Soo-hyun as Baek Hyun-woo, Park Sung-hoon as Yoon Eun-Seong, Kwak Dong-Yeon as Hong Soo-cheol, Lee Joo-bin as Cheon Da-Hye. We discuss:The three versions of the song Tell Me It's Not a Dream by 10cm.Why the show is called Queen of Tears.How our leads seem not to care about each other much BUT they defend the other to anyone who criticizes them and Hyun-woo definitely doesn't like seeing Hae-in with David Yoon.How we learn that Hyun-woo was a sharpshooter in the military.How the Netflix website says that Hae-in has never stopped loving her husband and she can't understand why he's pulling away. We see lots of things to back this up: she seems happy that Hyun-woo is jealous of David Yoon, she defends him against her family, and she wants to cuddle with him.David Yoon turns out to be quite the snake. We think he's out to gain control of the Queens Group.

He's not only toxic, he's cheating on her with her best friend, Stacy. Michael is deep in debt but somehow manages to buy Stacy diamond necklaces? And he thinks Jia won't notice.

Chaebol is a noun that refers to a large family-owned business conglomerate. Coming from the Korean words chae (CHAY) which means ‘money,' and bol (BALL) which means ‘faction,' our word of the day has been with us since the 1970s. Here's an example of it in use: I had no idea the local comedy club scene was a chaebol. It didn't take long to learn that seven of the ten clubs were owned by one man, and the other three were owned by his brothers.

El PIB per cápita en Corea del Sur supera los 31.000 dólares, un nivel que confirma que es una economía plenamente desarrollada. No ha sido fácil para el país asiático alcanzar ese hito, pero en unas pocas décadas ha pasado de ser uno de los países más pobres del mundo a ser parte de las economías más avanzadas. En ese proceso ha llegado no solo a superar a España, sino que incluso nos deja cada vez más atrás.Hablamos, sin duda, de uno de los grandes éxitos económicos de las últimas décadas. En 1957, Corea del Sur y Ghana tenían ingresos per cápita similares. Hoy, 65 años después, la diferencia entre ambas naciones es abismal, tanto en términos de renta como en estándar de vida.En los 60, Corea era un país corrupto, inestable, y que dependía de las ayudas de Occidente. Era un país que venía de vivir una guerra civil en la década anterior, agravada por la intervención de potencias extranjeras. Era un país precario, con una economía rural, arrasada por la ocupación japonesa primero, y por dicha guerra después. Con un fuerte control de los precios agrarios, y una política industrial proteccionista. Pero en los siguiente 20 años llevó a cabo una transformación industrial que al resto del mundo le llevó más de 100 años.En realidad, hablar de milagro tiene un punto de injusticia, porque detrás del crecimiento coreano hay una serie de decisiones políticas imprescindibles para el fuerte desarrollo experimentado por este país. Por ejemplo, la protección de las industrias clave, el fuerte aperturismo al comercio internacional y la mejora educativa. Todas estas medidas, impulsadas por el General Park Chung-Hee y sus hombres de confianza, tenían como objetivo convertir a Corea del Sur en una economía exportadora.Las políticas de protección a la naciente industria química y a la industria pesada durantes algo más de un lustro fueron fundamentales. Una estrategia que Corea copió directamente de Japón, y que incluso hoy en día otros países, como Taiwan, tratan de imitar.Park y las entidades financieras del país, controladas por el régimen, concedieron grandes cantidades de crédito a las industrias del acero, los petroquímicos, los automóviles, las máquinas pesadas, la electrónica y la construcción naval. Y, por otro lado, redujeron drásticamente las barreras a la importación de los bienes necesarios para que estos sectores pudieran fabricar sus productos. Una de las medidas más destacadas fue la eliminación de aranceles para bienes intermedios de producción, pero solo para las importaciones que se fuesen a utilizar para producir bienes que se fueran a exportar. En algunos casos, incluso se subvencionó la importación de insumos necesarios para la producción de estas industrias clave.Con estas políticas ya en marcha, comienzan a crecer con fuerza los chaebol, que es como se conoce a los grandes conglomerados empresariales de Corea del Sur. Algunos de ellos se han convertido en potencias mundiales que han llegado hasta nuestros días, como Samsung, LG o Hyundai. Estas compañías se convirtieron en las grandes dominadoras de la economía coreana, siendo así las más capacitadas para realizar inversiones masivas en capital y, sobre todo, innovar.En el otro lado, las industrias que no fueron consideradas como clave para el régimen sufrieron un fuerte aumento de la competencia exterior, por el fomento de las importaciones de algunos bienes, y por la asignación de gran parte de los recursos financieros en los sectores más importantes.Una emprea grande, eficiente y que invierte en capital, que invierte en maquinaria, en tecnología, en factorías... cuenta con los ingredientes perfectos para ser productiva y ganar cuota de mercado. Así, las exportaciones de Corea del Sur pasaron de representar un 2% del PIB en el 62 a un 30% en 1980. Corea pasó en un abrir y cerrar de ojos de la agricultura de subsistencia a un modelo completamente industrial. En los 60 el 35% de las mercancías que se exportaban eran bienes manufacturados. En 1995, esa cifra ya era del 96,9%. El General Park sabía que Corea tenía que comenzar su carrera exportando, y supo reconocer que el país tenía pocos recursos naturales. Como consecuencia, la política comercial cambió para centrarse en la expansión de las exportaciones.A todo esto se suman las reducciones arancelarias a nivel mundial fijadas en la Ronda Kennedy, en 1967, y en la Ronda de Tokio, en 1973. Estas medidas permitieron que los bienes producidos en Corea tuviesen una mayor penetración en los países desarrollados.Con todas estas medidas en marcha, es cuando vemos claramente la evolución. Volviendo al dato del PIB per cápita, vemos cómo Corea del Sur superó los 10.000 dólares en 1994, y los 30.000 en 2017. Un ascenso de récord para un país que hace poco más de 35 años se situaba en la extrema pobreza. Para ponerlo en contexto, si lo comparamos con España, fijándonos en el PIB a valores de paridad de poder adquisitivo, vemos cómo en 1970 en Corea era de 2.496 dólares, mientras que aquí estaba por encima de los 13.000. Hoy, en el gigante asiático supera los 43.000 dólares, mientras que aquí está en los 42.000. La carrera de Corea del Sur empezó hace más de 60 años, y ni la crisis asiática del 97, que les llevó a ser rescatados por el FMI; ni la crisis mundial de 2008, de la que salieron rápidamente; ni la pandemia, han logrado ponerle freno.

This episode of the Korea Now podcast features an interview that Jed Lea-Henry conducted with Peter Banseok KWON. They speak about the origins of South Korean “self-reliant national defence” under Park Chung-hee, the pressures that forced this change in policy direction, the relative absence of indigenous industry inside the country at this time, the intertwining of defence building with economic development, the role played in this process by the Heavy and Chemical Industrialization Plan (HCIP), the central position that the Chaebol found themselves in during this period, the spin-offs (in both directions) from this dual track of military and economic development, the success and failures of these policies, and their remaining legacy inside Korea after the assassination of Park Chung-hee. Peter Banseok KWON is an Assistant Professor of Korean Studies at the State University of New York (Albany), and is a previous recipient of the Soon Young Kim Postdoctoral Fellowship in Korean Studies at the Korea Institute, Harvard University.

Big family business groups known as chaebol still dominate in the Republic of Korea, stifling the growth of other businesses and causing investors to look twice before putting money in the country. These huge diversified companies led the country's emergence but have since become a drag on its growth. A recent report by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development looked at the issue. Randall Jones, head of the OECD's Japan and Korea desk, suggested some ways to fix the problem at an event hosted by the Asian Development Bank Institute.

Working on Chaebol reform, William helped to restructure Korea's corporate sector, assisted in the implementation of loan conditions, monitored the restructuring efforts through the IMF, and ran nation-wide supervision of the negotiated changes. In 2014, William retired from his position at the World Bank, and now lectures on macro-economics at Kyung Hee University and L'institut des études politiques de Paris.   Donate at Patreon – https://www.patreon.com/jedleahenry Website – http://www.jedleahenry.org Libsyn – http://korea-now-podcast.libsyn.com Youtube – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_qg6g1KyHaRXi193XqF6GA Twitter – https://twitter.com/jedleahenry Academia.edu – http://university.academia.edu/JedLeaHenry Research Gate – https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Jed_Lea-Henry  

김기식 is out as head of the Financial Supervisory Service. Blue House doubled down by having the 선관위 (National Election Commission) decide on the illegalities of m Kim's alleged violations. They ruled he broke the law and he immediately resigned and the resignation was immediately accepted by 청와대. Some lingering side effects and questions. What is wrong with the vetting system at the Blue House? Should 조국 or 임종석 be held responsible? What happens to reform of the financial/Chaebol sector? Is this a black eye/setback for 문재인's 적폐청산 and holding his administration to a higher standard? Difficult balance of wanting "your guys" in key roles to sincerely carry out policies and recognizing the writing of the wall and backing down. Progressives hope the reform drive does not slow down despite setback. Conservatives want a special prosecution./state investigation. People want 전수조사 on ALL lawmakers with expenses and overseas trips. Petition with well over 200,000 signatures to Blue house. Ruling party/progressives support comprehensive probe. Opposition is opposed. Wonder why? They need to remember the old saying "be careful what you wish for." Investigation continues on the 드루킹/online brigade controversy. Media is having a field day with framing this as a huge scandal. 청와대 and 김경수 have seemingly tweaked their stories as to the extent of contact with 드루킹 and how the process of vetting his recommendation of Osaka chief consulate took place. Lingering question of the timing of when the "macro" software was used by 드루킹 and his 경제적공진화모임 (경공모) crew. What was his M.O.? Why did he turn into such a fierce hater of the Moon government? Opposition once again calling for a 특검 into the affair and saying 김경수 needs to be prosecuted. 내로남불 all over again. Growing calls to look into Naver's murky online news commenting and upvoting system. Claimed that "macros" had no effect on their servers. That has proven to be a false assertion. Conservatives and opposition feel they have a winning hand with this controversy. Progressives and ruling forces say mountains are being made of molehills and a very deep and detailed investigation into the entire online news process will reveal that both sides will come out tainted and possibly the opposition will take the bigger hit. Once again, "be careful what you wish for." 조현민 getting swamped with more and more allegations of outrageous and vulgar behavior to her staff at Korean Air. More employees have come forward after the water rage incident and subsequent rant recording. Lots of lurid details into her 갑질 behavior and general craziness with the work environment she created. "gap-jil" is now a term introduced to the English vernacular after NY Times piece. Pretty shameful. Cho is now suspended from corporate activities pending investigation. Growing calls to remove the entire "3rd generation" of owner's spawn from the corporation by 정의당 members. Her Korean-American status also legally problematic as she was found to hold an executive post at Jin Air, a big no-no for a foreigner to have operations power at an actual airline. People still demanding the "대한" moniker and flag be stripped from the airline. Korean Air still has rights to "한국항공" so ultimately there may not be any major changes. Despite the pessimism with 금수저 folks getting their comeuppance, this issue not going anywhere anytime soon. Rare update on North Korea! CIA chief Pompeo met with 김정은! Secret meeting apparently over Easter weekend. What the heck is going on? Trump blabbers details to the press. Gives his "blessing" for negotiations to end the Korean war during the Inter-Korean summit. De-nuking will be on the table. 5 locations mulled over Trump's meeting with Dear Leader Jr. Some optimism sprinkled with a LOT of skepticism in the ensuing US-North Korean talks on whether a real deal can actually get done. Will Trump try cement his "legacy" through this summit? Will he even get there? Still a lot that can happen from now until June.
