Billy's back to teaching us about Korea! This time, we've hit the '60s so it's all about the American-backed improvised authoritarian who became the first president of the Republic of Korea, after their forced split from their neighbours to the north - it's Syngman Rhee! But how did he end up as president of the ROK (rock!🤘)? How did he slip into authoritarianism? And how did student protests lead to revolution and Rhee's resignation? Korea expert, Owen Miller, is here to walk us through it all. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
