A proposito di questo titolo

In the winter of 2016, millions of South Koreans took to the streets in peaceful protests, demanding the resignation of President Park Geun-hye over a corruption scandal involving her confidante Choi Soon-sil. This episode dives into the Candlelight Revolution, exploring how a secret tablet, a powerful shamanistic cult, and a pentagon-shaped protest ground called Gwanghwamun Square brought down a president. Lucas and Luna discuss the role of the Constitutional Court, the legacy of Park Chung-hee, and the unlikely alliance of activists, students, and conservative grandmothers who lit up Seoul's cold nights. They also examine what the impeachment means for South Korea's democracy today—a story of people power, institutional checks, and the fragility of democratic norms.
