Two Koreas, Two Goals: The Politics of Football ft. Jung-Woo Lee

THE FOOTPOL PODCAST

This week, Guy and Francesco are joined by Jung-Woo Lee from Edinburgh University to explore the fascinating intersection of football and politics in North and South Korea. Among the subjects covered in the episode include: the origins of football on the Korean peninsula and how it evolved in the North and South; the role of football in shaping national and political identities, including the communist regime's promotion of its teams in the North and the significance of the 2002 World Cup in the South; and insights into Korean football migration—how it compares to other migrant journeys and its broader implications.
