The chaebols are being challenged, at a time when the stakes have potentially never been higher, with the country mired in political turmoil.
On today’s Big Take Asia Podcast, Rebecca Choong Wilkins talks to Bloomberg reporter Youkyung Lee about how a surprise takeover bid for one of the world’s biggest refined metal producers, Korea Zinc, is sending a chill through the chaebol world.
