Award-winning novelist, Min Jin Lee chats with Ronny Chieng about her latest book, "American Hagwon." The two discuss hagwons, the specialized Korean skill schools at the center of Lee’s novel, bond over the traditions of respect, sacrifice, and discipline embedded within Asian culture and education, and debate the real value of an elite higher education. Plus, Lee breaks down how her novel’s exploration of an immigrant family enduring financial instability attempts to answer the question of why bad things happen to good people. #DailyShow #MinJinLee #AmeriacnHagwon #Pachinko
