The civil society that exists in South Korea may have been dormant for a while, people thought that the young generation was only interested in K-Pop and their material needs, but you can see how it woke up and how young people lead the way in all of this.

Live from Seoul, Marc Flury outlines South Korea's bizarre presidential impeachment scandal - in which President Park Geun-hye's relationship with cult leader Choi Soon-sil revealed corruption and influence peddling - and explains how the story is implicating the country's corporate leaders and mobilizing a re-awakened civil society against the conservative government.

In other important Korea news, Marc dropped hottest, best-reviewed videogame of 2016, THUMPER, available now.
