South Korea's presidential election, which took place on December 19, 2012, was one of the most colorful and contested in South Korea's history.

She is also the first woman president of South Korea, a fact of historic importance. What can we expect from her presidency? And just as important, what can we demand? Come find out about the person, the issues, and the claims. Give us your insights. Conducted in Korean and English. With food and beverages. Organized by the Duke Korea Forum.
