Ku Yaerin, Kyung Hee University Student speaks about the Korean youth perspective.
The recent protests in Korea against the Park administration have stunned the world and brought new attention to Korea’s position as a vibrant democracy. Notable is the number of young people involved in those protests, including middle school and high school students, who have poured into the streets demanding change. But what sort of change, exactly, do they want? In this seminar we explored the background of these protests and consider their implications for Korea’s future domestic and international policies.
최근 박근혜 행정부에 대한 한국의 시위는 세계를 깜짝 놀라게하고 역동적 인 민주주의로서 한국의 위상에 새로운 관심을 가져왔다. 주목해야 할 것은 변화를 요구하는 거리에 쏟아 부은 중학생과 고등학생을 포함하는 시위에 참여한 젊은이들이다. 그러나 정확히 어떤 종류의 변화를 원합니까? 이 세미나에서 우리는 이러한 시위의 배경을 탐색했고 한국의 미래 국내 및 국제 정책에 대한 시사점을 고려했습니다.
