2021-02-10 Workable Words ep. 2 (Eunhee Park)


A few weeks ago, Eunhee Park interviewed me on her Youtube channel. This time it was my chance to interview her.

I talked to her about things that inspire her as well as asked her if she thinks she inspires others. Watch it here!



Eunhee Park is a North Korean Defector. We often hear their stories, but isn't there more to them than that? Workable Words talked with Eunhee about ways that her words are workable. Who or what inspires her? Has she inspired others into action? Eunhee studied in FSI (formerly TNKR) for several years, going from an A-B-C level English speaker to T-E-D! She is now Development Coordinator of FSI. The interview was conducted by Casey Lartigue, co-founder and co-president of Freedom International Speakers (FSI) along with South Korean researcher Lee, Eunkoo. Eunhee's Youtube channel: Eunhee from North Korea https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6gzfVMs1Z6TTF_Wa8K_icw Eunhee's recently interviewed Casey on her YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOWGkJVM-3A Credits to executive producer Esther Bo Kim for editing the video and to assistant producer Dahye Kang for the recording and marketing materials.

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

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...
