South Korea Has a New President: What Comes Next? | Eye on Korea Ep. 12

KEI President Scott Snyder sits down with Ambassador Philip Goldberg, former U.S. Ambassador to South Korea, for a wide-ranging conversation on South Korea’s political transformation following the election of president Lee Jae-myung, and what it means for foreign policy and U.S.–ROK relations.

Ambassador Goldberg reflects candidly on the final months of his tenure in Seoul, including the declaration of martial law and the impeachment proceedings against former president Yoon Suk Yeol.

I produce Eye on Korea for KEI, booking guests and organizing each taping alongside the picture and audio edit. A sit-down with a former ambassador leaves no room for a second take, so the priority was a clean multi-camera capture and a cut that keeps a long, dense conversation watchable without flattening the nuance.
