YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Former South Korean Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn joins Freya Leach to discuss the biggest threats facing South Korea today: North Korea’s aggression, China’s influence, internal ideological divisions, and a collapsing birth rate driven by high living costs, pressure on working women, and shifting social values. He argues that appeasement has failed, and that stronger deterrence and alliances with countries like the United States and Australia are essential.

Recorded at CPAC 2026 in Dallas.

Hwang Kyo-ahn served as Prime Minister and Acting President of South Korea from 2015 to 2017, stepping into the nation's highest office during the constitutional crisis triggered by the impeachment of President Park Geun-hye. The son of North Korean refugees who fled south during the Korean War, Hwang spent thirty years as a prosecutor specialising in national security before entering government — a career that forged his uncompromising stance on the Kim regime and the pro-North Korean forces he argues are embedded within South Korean politics itself.
