This episode of Open Secrets investigates the immense power held by South Korea’s largest corporations, known as chaebols. Companies such as Samsung, Hyundai and SK Group dominate the economy, shaping everything from industry to politics. While South Korea is seen globally as a modern cultural and economic powerhouse, this documentary reveals a different reality — one of deep inequality, concentrated wealth and allegations of corruption, monopolistic practices and labour violations. Through investigation and analysis, the film explores how so much power came to be held by so few, and what it means for the millions of people living and working within this system.
