On April 13, Koreans will head to the polls to elect all 300 members of the National Assembly. This year’s election comes at a time when South Korean voters are concerned about economic growth, employment, and social welfare. They also come in the aftermath of North Korea’s fourth nuclear test, the closure of the Kaesong Industrial Complex, and at the height of renewed tensions between North Korea and the international community.
Please join KEI and The Korea Society for a discussion of the election outcomes, how they are likely to shape the remained of Park Geun-hye’s term, and what they may mean for South Korea’s presidential election in December 2017.
Lunch will be served.
