Trash balloons. Underground tunnels. Martial law.
In the season finale of Broad Abroad: Korea, I travel to the DMZ to get a firsthand look at the world’s most surreal border—and then stumble into protests the next day. From secret infiltration tunnels to speakers blasting K-pop into North Korea, this episode unpacks the bizarre reality of life at the edge of two Koreas.
My guest Bryan Jun breaks down South Korea’s wild political rollercoaster—yes, including President Yoon’s declaration of martial law and impeachment. But don’t worry: there’s also some lighter bonus episodes on Korea coming soon.
As always: Travel curiously.
