2019-12-13 Cherie Yang on TBS eFM

TNKR Special Ambassador Cherie Yang was interviewed live on the radio today. Some special things about it:

* Yes, LIVE on the radio. You can listen here.
* Cherie was interviewed along with me for a podcast a few years ago, but today was her first 1:1 live interview

* And it was in English. Even if I live to the age of 400, I am sure I will never do a live interview in Korean.

Cherie has been a regular panelist on TV talk shows, given speeches around the world including the USA, UK and South Korea, but she was nervous about this interview. I gave her tips during the week and met with her to help her get prepared.

Cherie's first live radio interview

Cherie was interviewed by Jasmine Lee, the former National Assembly member who is involved in many activities.

They took a few photos before getting started.

TNKR's co-founders Casey Lartigue and Eunkoo Lee joined to cheer Cherie on.

I first met Jasmine around 2012 or 2013, we both had very different careers then. Jasmine interviewed me earlier this year as the start of TNKR appearing regularly on TBS eFM. Eunhee Park and Scott Kim were interviewed in October, and today Cherie Yang was a featured guest.

I have many roles in TNKR, and one is being a magnet attracting attention. I rarely turn down a media opportunity, but I make it a point to try to create opportunities for refugees in TNKR when it makes sense to do so.

Let's not shake hands (Korea Times, July 2, 2014) by Casey Lartigue, Jr.

Let's not shake hands By Casey Lartigue, Jr. While there are many things that I love about Korea, there are two things that drive me crazy. One is that, in my observation, most Korean men don't wash their hands after using the bathroom. I know some people get defensive about non-Koreans commenting in a negative way about Korean culture and life, that they want to attack the messenger and the messenger's native country. So I will start by clearly stating that many men in America don't wash their hands either. According to the Website Stop Handshaking , while 92 percent of adults in America say they wash their hands in public restrooms, an observational study of 6,076 adults sponsored by the American Society for Microbiology (ASM) found that only 66 percent of men actually washed their hands in public restrooms (88 percent of women did so). As an aside, I am curious how they "observed" that many peopl...

Radio, Harvard

I'll be a guest on XM 169 The Power this morning from 10:15 a.m. EST. I'll be talking about teaching English abroad. I'll be interviewed by Brian Higgins of MYB Talk . I sang last night for about five hours with friends but I'm sure my voice will be fine. Tuesday, I'll be interviewed by a Harvard University representative who wants my input on a new doctoral program for education leaders . It is a collaboration between the Harvard Graduate School of Education, the Harvard Business School and the Harvard Kennedy School. Some folks at the Booker Rising site are (again) reminding me that I'm not as smart as I think I am. CJL

North Korean defector seeks justice (Korea Times)

It was international news when 12 North Korean waitresses and a male manager who worked at a restaurant operated by the North Korean regime in China arrived in South Korea in 2016. The waitresses have mostly maintained a low profile. There have been numerous accusations and assertions, with some saying the waitresses didn't want to escape, some accused the Park Geun-hye administration of playing politics by releasing details of the case, etc., etc., etc. My blog at the Korea Times today features an exclusive interview with one of the former North Korean waitresses who filed a criminal case against the former manager. You can read about it here on the Korea Times website. https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/opinion/2023/02/728_345165.html Keep in mind that there are many more facts to the case and that it is much deeper than this brief excerpt of her comments. She also shared legal documents that I shared with the Korea Times well in advance to give them time to review t...
