Chaebols are family-owned conglomerates in South Korea that have long been at the centre of public interest. Their outsized influence skyrocketed as the country rapidly emerged from post-war poverty to become a major developed economy. But chaebols have also been a source of public anger, as they earned a reputation for corruption and engaged in unfair business practices often blamed for growing inequality. Amid one of the country’s biggest scandals, huge protests in 2016 demanded the break-up of chaebols accused of bribing then-president Park Geun-hye. But years later, how much progress has South Korea made towards reining in the powerful chaebols?

If they have billions, they do everything until reach Trillion. If they reach Trillion they still aim for Quadrillion never ending greed.
Well, they could've stop at $10 million or 100 million, and enjoy early retirement. They coud enjoy awesome life, partying all day everyday with celebrities and supermodels.
But no, fortunately for us all, they choose to continue and climb ever higher, past 1 billion, 10 billions, 100 billions, on and on. This spirit is what enabled our civilization grow so rapidly within single lifetime.
Look at all the heroes, kings, and emperors of the past.. the greedy and the ludicrous, who build great monuments and vast empire were the one that make it into history. Vision and ambition are what separates us humans from other animals.
It reminds me of gambling addicts putting the means of their money on the line, like- what will make them money when they have all of it?
South Korea is the definition of oligarchy aka late stage capitalism. Nobody ever taught us that the board game monopoly is actually based on real life and that game never ends well.
Idiots living in first world countries have the luxury of crying about late stage capitalism. The Chaebols were/are major stake holders in Korean industrial policy they got to were they are not because of MSMEs(Taiwan did that and they are a one trick pony excelling in Electronics Industry and no where else). Everything is late stage capitalism for you lot. You need internationally competitive domestic manufacturing corporations and that is expensive hence why these general trading companies come out on top by reaching into multiple sectors. This isnt evil or catastrophic, this is just how countries without natural resources like develop(unlike Canada and Australia). USA had extremely productive land and decades of security and deep pockets to restructure their industry and still be able to compete. SK is sandwiched between China, NK and Japan two of whom are nuclear armed states. Sanctimonious liberal delusions is a luxury for them.
That being said South Korea should definitely increase its top marginal income tax rate.
Every capitalist country is like this, not just South Korea.
but they gave the people a better life. korean oligarch lifted out millions of koreans out from poverty and increased quality of life. so they aren't evil as you taught.

Koreans do not have much antipathy toward chaebols. This is because large companies such as Samsung, SK, LG, and Hyundai make money through exports. Because they earn money through exports, the government gives them preferential treatment. If growth was achieved through domestic demand, it would be difficult to expect a favorable attitude from the government.
They can just leave Korea in that case anytime.
This is like the car manufacturers and the oil industry influencing America's politics.

Not sure what you are comparing it with. A corrupted democracy is not the same as a dictatorship.

@@eemoogee160actually it’s even worse. At least you know who you are up against in a dictatorship.

I don't know if you are korean or not but I am getting very frustrated with this line of thinking.
YES every capitalist society have issues that are similar to the ones experienced in South Korea. However, this line of thinking drastically minimizes the blatancy and severity of the corruption and societal impacts these korean oligarchs (chaebols) have on regular Korean citizens and Korean culture at large.
Imagine if Steve Jobs (Apple -> Samsung Electronics) 'negotiated' with the US government to acquire Lockheed Martin (Korean Defense contracts); operated GEICO (Samsung Insurance) and JP Morgan (Samsung Investments) by acquiring controlling stakes, and also bought out NVDIA (Samsung Semiconductors); Owned Pfizer (Samsung Biologics). They are actually big players in other industries including shipbuilding, theatres, shopping malls, and the list - actually - goes on.
All the while ignoring worker safety, enforcing draconian labor policies (80+hour work weeks), underpaying workers while also bribing officials to influence monopolistic policies and committing accounting fraud to maintain their profit line.
imho, they are the reason why korea has the lowest birthing rate in the WORLD at < 0.7 births per couple. (no money, no time)
YES other countries have low birth rates too but like at the 1.0-1.5 range.
Your argument ignores the large difference in severity and blatancy of the corruption and undermining of ethics and common decency
Except SK is actual cyberpunk dystopia straight outta fiction
The same story is now unwinding in India. Some of the chaebols of India are:
1. Ambani (Reliance industries)
2. Adani (Adani ports)

forbes ranked Samsung as the best employer in the world, ahead of american tech giants like Apple, Google, MS, amazon, faceboo etc
Its a tiny country, what choice do they even have.
In fact, s.korean want to be doctor rather than being employed to Chaebol company
They guarantee better payment and QOL than smaller companies in general, so why not?
Japan was also like that before World War II, but it was not in a situation like the current South Korea because it lost the war and forced the United States to dismantle the chaebols.
Yes! That system was adopted in South Korea during the Japanese occupation of Korea. It’s a traditional Japanese system that still runs in Korea. ‘zaibatsu’ is the Japanese term.
I guess the current Chaebol system is a (huge) side effect of trying to catch up to the world, that was decades ahead in the race, therefore having to focus whatever we had on a handful of companies, hoping they would succeed globally against established competitors.
that is bc the chaebols were founded when park chung hee, who made some career in the japanese imperial army, seized power in SKorea by military coup and ruled the country until he was assacinated in 1979
Actually, Japan still has this system in place and still active. It's naive to think Japan blushed it off when their economy is virtually run by these large Japanese companies are also family dominated businesses.
@@ytn00b3
Japan is amateur. Those corporations are actually not run by families. (Even the Toyota family owns only 0.1 - 0.2% of Toyota Motor Corporation's stocks.)
Korea is more like Sweden, which is even more massively dominated by a number of families, particularly by one family, the Wallenbergs. They are one of the most influential families in all of Europe, renowned for its influence in banking, politics, diplomacy, and the industrial landscape. In the 1970s, already, businesses under their control employed 40% of Sweden's industrial workforce and represented 40% of the Stockholm Stock Exchange's total worth.
Think this article is more from SME business point of view & few corrupt people rather than the people, whose income has increased from 130$ to 33000$ resulting in a developed economy.
Same goes for Russia china and India too.only difference they're not called cheabols

Not in China, you can't control the government there. you fk around, you find it out really fast. Ask Jack Ma, and the company didi. There is no elite families in China.

What's impressive about those South-Korean oligarchies is that they're legitimately competitive in their respective fields worldwide. Unlike those Russian ones that are mainly on energy sectors thus in the scope of pure local corruption.
There’s nothing impressive about South Korea. It’s a Cyberpunk dystopia with high suicide rate.
The scandals don't stop, is it because the punishment is mild? The Korean people do not deserve these dishonest politicians and businesspeople.
While they made scandals, chaebols are important for Korean economy. They made up of 65% of Korean GDP and they played a role in transitioning south Korea from poor country into high tech developed country and they lift millions of Korean out from poverty. This is the thing that everyone always forgot when talking about chaebols. Chaebols aren't evil as people think.

I find it interesting how the Koreas managed to carve out two dystopias on one Peninsula. North Korea is like George Orwell's 1984 while South Korea is literally Cyberpunk 2077.
That's a really interesting perspective
The chaebols become more powerful than the government
Exactly, and one of the few reasons why many mega-corps boycotted/sandal China's government is simply. Corporations in china have no power, and for mega corp...they always wanted more power and money at the expense of others.

Chaebol exist in every country on the earth.
This is the unique economy model of capitalist Korea when the family corporations have grew so big that they are untouchables. Any wrong policies implemented to curb their powers could endanger many people livelihoods. Imagine the top 4 Chaebols namely Samsung, Hyundai, LG & SK are contributing about 60% of their country GDP. Another problem is that Korea has a constitution which states that a President can only serve 1 term (4yrs) hence any policies implemented by the predecessor could be reversed by the current President. I don't see how this situation can be changed unless a big world recession to shake up their whole economy, which happened in 1997 Asian financial crisis when some Chaebols (Hanbo, Jinro, and Kia Groups) have bankrupted.

This report is missing an important fact which can mislead its own conclusion. They are not really close family members, but rather more of mortal enemies of one another. They have a long history of family disputes and backstabbing within the same family. They hate one another and many of them don't even talk to one another. That's why all those families broke up into totally different company groups.

What the family should've done, is to ask for help from other Royal families.

You've realized the most important point. It's not a question of capitalism or communism. At least in Korea.

The people of Khalistan, Kashmir, Tamil Nadu, and South Tibet, occupied by India have been advocating for independence for decades, with their movements met by suppression from the Indian government.

Very informative! Hello from Philippines
Capitalism + Democracy = Capitalocracy 😅
Korea has a future of cyberpunk levels of dystopia if this continues.
It shows how strong the power of Korean media is.
Korean comments criticizing China are deleted.
If Korea had been successfully united by Kim Il Sung during the 1950 - 1953 civil war, perhaps now there would be no such thing as Hyundai, Samsung and other well-known brands.
Many Americans don't realize that several practices legal in the U.S. are illegal in Korea. For example, in the U.S., politicians can receive significant sums of money for a two-hour lecture on Wall Street, which would be considered bribery in Korea. Additionally, lobbying-a legal profession in America- is illegal in Korea.
Americans often mention companies like Apple and Microsoft without understanding the complexities and regulations behind the scenes. The idea of an incumbent president going to prison might seem improbable in many democracies, but it is a reality in Korea.
Their corrupt politics deprives them of fast trains. Neither America nor Canada has national high-speed rail systems.
Japan has characteristics of an autocratic country, with the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) dominating the political landscape.
Although it appears that the people have a choice, many regulations and practices reinforce this dominance, limiting true democratic choice.
If companies are lost. Leave them. Let's create more mega-companies
Wasn't this how korea always has been? There were always a few feudal clans dominating the whole joseon society, all having a close relationship with the emperor.

Most of Chaebols grew exponentially during the military dictatorship under President Park in 1960s and 1970s. The country was in poverty and was constantly being threatened by North Korea, which had stronger economy and military. So, the military goverment in South Korea decided to focus all the resources in the country to a few most promising companies, including Samsung, Hyundai, Daewoo, LG, etc. In return, those companies promised to supply South Korean military with arms and supplies at low cost. That is the origin of South Korean defense industry that became so big recently. It is easy to criticize Chaebols and South Korean government. But, considering the dire situation SK was in 1960, they probably made the best decision they could under the circumstances.
The US is the exact same way.

‘작은 정부, 큰 시장’에 반대
“내 정체? 진보적 시장주의자”
박상인 서울대 행정대학원 교수는 대표적인 진보 경제학자로 꼽힌다. 그는 대학 시절부터 오롯이 경제학도의 길을 걸어왔다. 서울대와 예일대에서 경제학을 전공했으며 귀국한 후 모교인 서울대 행정대학원에 자리를 잡았다.
연구자이자 교육자로 일하는 와중에도 박 교수는 한국산업조직학회·여론집중도조사위원회·경제정의실천시민연합 등의 단체에서 꾸준히 활동해왔다.
그는 “제 정체가 뭐냐고 물으면 진보적 시장주의자라고 말한다”고 답변했다. 박 교수는 지금 한국 경제는 시장경제가 제대로 작동하지 않는다고 말했다. 시장은 기본적으로 내버려두면 된다고 생각하는 사람이 많지만 이는 시장에 대한 몰지각에서 비롯된 오해라는 주장이다.
정부가 개입하지 않으면 시장은 잘 돌아간다고 여기는 관념은 ‘작은 정부’와 ‘큰 시장’을 주창하는 잘못된 이데올로기적 시각의 산물이라는 설명이다. 시장에 대한 적절한 정부의 개입이 필요하다는 것이다.

The form of 'Chaebol' is actually really common in less developed regions such as South Asia and Southeast Asia. However, among countries with a similar economic level to South Korea, South Korea is the only one with such a backward system. That's why South Korea's Chaebols are attracting attention even though they are not the worst conglomerate in the world.
