Jeongho Choi is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science and International Relations at Kyung Hee University. His research focuses on comparative politics, public opinion, and political behavior, particularly exploring populism, political representation, public support for democracy, and democratic backsliding. Methodologically, he uses various quantitative methods, including multilevel modeling, computational text analysis, and machine learning. His dissertation investigates how issue-congruence between the public and political parties influences public support for populism in different regions and argues that public support for populism is a response to discontent with contemporary democratic systems.
