Experiencing Interruptions?

Modern Korea ep.2 <Great Expectations>

The major corporations and financial industry are thought to be the cause of growth in exports and also the danger of the IMF. The realities of the ‘97 Asian Financial Crisis and the IMF bailout are looked into in detail.
While the government-led economic growth was being replaced by a neo-liberalistic one represented by a ‘global standard,’ there was an expert bureaucratic body. Meanwhile, Korea’s first general trading company was turned into the 4th largest major corporation by Kim Woochoong, who criticized the government and pushed for greater focus on international exports. With the old order of Korean economics facing the new, the summer of ’99 tells the story of the ticking time bomb of Daewoo.

Director Statement

Korea achieved the fastest economic growth and maximization. During this process, there were incidents unique to Korea, hard to find in any other country.
The unification rallies held by university students despite heavy opposition by the dictatorship (Ep.01), the Daewoo conglomerate that went bankrupt due to mismanagement of loans (Ep.02), the birth of the college entrance exam that made students fight for their rankings in school (Ep.03), the collapse of a department store that took countless lives (Ep.04), the birth of a baseball team for a region that was politically persecuted (Ep.05), and a 100,000 member cult that awaited the end of the world (Ep.06).
We look at those events in modern history lacking social consensus, solely through records of the time without an unbiased lens.
