How to Lose a Country in 10 Cult Steps 50th Episode Special!For our 50th episode, we’re taking you to Seoul — where one of the most advanced democracies on earth briefly found itself run like a very organized cult retreat.This is the unbelievable (and somehow very modern) story of how President Park Geun-hye — once marketed as the “Queen of Clean Politics” — let her childhood friend, Choi Soon-sil, quietly run the country using a mix of spiritual guidance, shaman-lite rituals, and a suspicious amount of influence for someone with zero government title.For our 50th episode, we’re breaking down how a country lost control in ten very culty steps — and what it takes to get it back. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

304 Victims. South Korea Cult? Sewol Ferry Disaster #sewol #southkorea On April 16, 2014, 304 lives lost. A nation in mourning. Was the Sewol ferry disaster really just an accident? As details emerge — a vanished president, cult connections, and eerie coincidences — a darker theory refuses to fade: Was this tragedy a carefully planned sacrifice? 11 years later, South Korea is still searching for answers. And the truth may be more terrifying than anyone imagined. ▶Timestamps: 0:00 - 0:23 Beginning 0:23 - 0:58 The Day the Sewol Sank 0:58 - 2:10 Chaos and Betrayal 2:10 - 2:52 A Vanished Leader 2:52 - 7:18 The Cult Conspiracy 7:18 - 9:45 A Web of Failures 9:15 - 10:25 A Nation’s Wound 10:25 - 10:39 In Memory Like and subscribe for more videos on mysteries! #Sewol #Sewolferry #Sewoldisaster #Sewol2014 #sewolferrytragedy #Jeju #SouthKorea #Korea #UrbanLegend #KoreanPolitics
