Park Geun-hae was the daughter of Park Chung-hee the dictator @24:22

Never learned this in school, but really is such an important part of global history..

Sorry for the re-upload.
The previous version was only available in 360p because of a mistake with Adobe Premiere and I didn't check the video quality.
So here is the same video but in HD quality... sorry about that.

Man this video is over an hour long and at the end I still thought 'it's over already?!'
Awesome video man. I learned so much that should be talked about way more

[nickburns]

A jaw dropping and amazing documentary. As some one who has just discovered Korean culture I've found this invaluable. Thank you so much.

Dude, this is one of the best history content that talks about Korea, great job

[Nihilitty]

My grandmother lived in North Korea, 6 months before the war she moved south, and survived the Northern occupation of Seoul. If she hadn't made that decision I probably wouldn't be writing this comment.

[magdawszeborowska]

Literally Korea had the same struggle as my homecountry Poland. Always struggling because of stupid neighbors that are pain in the ass for centuries, while the only thing people wanted is living in peace

I'm South Korean and you made me more understandable my country's history :) Thank you, I also like watching other history videos of other countries

[Pitsas]

Holy shit, this is such a good overview of Korea.
Just as a note, although the government DID invest in the music industry, it did not actively participate in the detailed production and "owned" the process. It kept a "aid but dont get involved" attitude. If it did, imho k-pop would have flopped early on.
But other than that, a fantastic video.
Kudos mate, keep up the good work!

I am Korean(from South). Thanks for the quite good history lesson. I am not super professional about the history. But I should say a specific error. 24:23. The name of president by military coup is “Park Jungee”. “Park Keunhae” is his daughter, president 2013-2017, who was finally impeached.

[northstardiversed]

the fact that you squeezed almost everything in in just 1 hour is amazing, I'd keep going on for at least 5 if I were to make a video about it-

[Silent]

Really found this video to demonstrate a lot of in-detail history and how both Koreas fared after the war. Been reading on the history since 2008 and visited South Korea & the DMZ back in the early 2010s, but definitely have picked up some good knowledge from this well-produced and narrated video. Thanks again for sharing!

[glennmiller]

A well-presented highly educational crash course on the two Koreas thoughtfully crafted with balanced perspective.
I commend you on this impressive undertaking. Will be looking at more of your videos. Subscribed.

[dondon_lee]

That fire nation reference gave me chuckle. Thanks mate, your hard work is really appreciated.

[Imperial_Dynamics]

Excellent video. Especially the south Korean cultural influence. I'm a Greek living in Thessaloniki, Greece's second largest city after Athens. I decided to learn Korean because of kpop and squid game. So I registered in a local private school. I was blown away when they told me the class was full and I would have to wait the formation of another. Let it sink for a minute... Huge demand for Korean lessons in... Greece! And not in Athens.

[belindadomingo]

Thank you for your explanation of the Hallyu wave and its purpose as ‘soft’ power. I had no idea the strategy came from a Samsung think tank! Keep up the great work

[sjsbviufvibwvuspi]

"Alright back to depression" me after watching most of his videos

[SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

We built our metro before Seoul, and it's way more beautiful than theirs. Gotta give props

[wadejameskennedy]

Thankyou. Not only informative, interesting but entertaining. The best history session I have witnessed, so far !
