The Shocking Burning Sun Scandal - Interview with Chloe Hadjimatheou

Our latest episode of Afternoona Asks is out – and we think it’s our best yet! We interviewed BBC Journalist Chloe Hadjimatheou, who has just co-created and presented a podcast series on the shocking sex scandals which shook the world of K-Pop. The podcast series is available via BBC Sounds.
Chloe takes us behind the scenes, and tells what it took to pull off this in-depth series, the extraordinary bravery of the female Korean journalists who broke this story and the reaction to this scandal in the wider society in Korea. We cover feminism in Korea and why it's seen as a negative, and the impact it's having on women in modern Korea now. We found chatting to her fascinating and we hope you do too!We have split the podcast into two parts: a more generic, spoiler-free chat with Chloe, then we give you the opportunity to drop off to listen to the Burning Sun podcast (if you haven't already) and rejoin us for the second half.We learn some more Korean phrases from Grace, including how to say Gangnam properly!To listen please go to: BBC Sounds Burning Sun Podcast or download the BBC Sounds app to your deviceDo follow Chloe Hadjimatheou on Twitter to keep updated with her next projects and see her past programmes.
