20-01-13 Russian TV interview



A Russian TV crew stopped by the TNKR office yesterday to do a few interviews.

* First they recorded me giving Sharon some public speaking tips
* Second, they interviewed Sharon at length.
* Finally, they asked me a few questions about TNKR.

They were efficient. We have had some TV crew members who have come in, gotten photos and video from a variety of angles. This team was quick, clear what they wanted, then finished.


Here's the information and photos they posted on Facebook:

Телеканал Россия-24 "Специальный репортаж Максима Киселева" в Южной Корее

6-я съемка в Глобальном образовательном центре "Учить северокорейских беженцев" #TNKR

Sharon Jang дает интервью о своей жизни на Севере и Юге

Центр помогает северокорейским беженцам в изучении английского языка, а также в выступлениях в других странах с речами о своих историях. Центр был основан в 2013 г. Casey Lartigue Jr. совместно с Eunkoo Lee 이은구

Однажды Casey Lartigue услушал от северокорейских беженцев, что одной из самых больших проблем, с которыми они столкнулись в Южной Корее, было изучение английского языка. Английский необходим при поступлении в университет, на работу и даже при использовании Интернета. Также он необходим для наведения мостов между северокорейцами и остальным миром. Так появилась идея создания TNKR

It is amazing that media finds us so often.
* We don't have a communications team.
* We rely on volunteers.
* We don't follow the Social media strategy of experts, mainly I just throw posts on Facebook when I take a break from our activities or when I am in a taxi on the way to a meeting.
* * These days our Instagram and Twitter accounts are silent these days, so I may start posting there again.

Despite that and other challenges, media still finds us. So it must be that our good work, not fancy media strategy, that results in media finding us.

Chosun Monthly magazine [Korean language]

  Chosun Monthly Magazine has made an announcement (in Korean) about the Seoul Honorary Citizenship award that I received on December 9, 2022.  Our Korean staffers say that the magazine is a big deal in South Korea. Here's the overall roundup of media about the award. In the next two months, I have extended interviews coming up in two different magazines, one in the USA and one in South Korea. Both articles will be in respected publications so they should raise awareness of FSI's work that your support makes possible. * * * Support FSI via Stripe or PayPal . https://donate.stripe.com/3cs28F5IAcc85IAaEF or PayPal .

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...
