ON MEDIA
Besides the academic work, I strive to share my knowledge with the wider public on Korea-related subjects such as Korean economy, politics, society, and popular culture on TV, radio and news in Hebrew (TheMarker, Calcalist, Haaretz, Ynet), English (Forbes, Sunday Times, Korea Times, Study International), and Korean (Donga Daily, Yonhap, Maeil Business Group). On this page, I shared some of the interviews as well as recorded lectures and podcasts in all three languages. Enjoy!
