Join us for this rapid reaction program held soon after the ruling of South Korea’s Constitutional Court on the impeachment trial of suspended President Yoon Suk Yeol. If the impeachment motion is upheld, the country will have 60 days to hold a presidential election. How will the outcome of the case affect Korea’s democracy and society, U.S.-Korea relations, inter-Korean relations, and Korea’s regional relations with countries such as Japan, China, and Russia? Join us for a discussion with Michelle Ye Hee Lee, Tokyo bureau chief for The Washington Post, covering Japan and the Koreas. The discussion is moderated by policy director Jonathan Corrado and policy program officer Chelsie Alexandre. This rapid reaction program will take place soon after the Constitutional Court's ruling. All registrants will receive an update regarding the time and date of the live webcast as soon as it is confirmed. The same YouTube link that hosts the live webcast will continue to host the video recording thereafter.
This program is made possible by the generous support of our individual and corporate members and the Korea Foundation.
