Mulloskeys Adventures Abroad

Promotion in Korea can be obnoxious, loud, in your face and usually involves an absurd amount of noise and environmental pollution. That said, there’s something oddly comforting about the fact that it’s unapologetic about how loud, vile and annoying it is. There is very little that is subversive or scheming about it (well, with the [...]

It doesn’t take an interest in political science to be fascinated with some of the tactics used during election campaigning in Korea. Simply put, it’s much more fun.
