Arirang Radio with Eunhee Park (2021-11-24)


I am now a regular guest on Arirang Radio's "Korea Now" show. When I am available, then I go on the show twice a month with a North Korean refugee.

This past Wednesday 11/24, it was with Eunhee Park. 

It was a special moment:

1) Eunhee went from A-B-C to T-E-D! Six years ago, she was a basic speaker of English, but here she was handling a live radio show.

2) Her first radio interview was four years ago, also on Arirang Radio. At that time, she wasn't quite ready, so the producers asked if I could go on with her. Which turned out to be a good idea. She wasn't ready for the world of radio. Right after the host announced us, Eunhee whispered to me (but apparently not recognizing how great the microphones are): "I forgot my notes." She disappeared, leaving the host to talk with me.

3) She will soon be going to the USA! So it is great to see her before she leaves

I should next be on the show on December 8th from 7:20 to 7:50 pm.

Helping North Koreans 'strike the blow' (Korea Times)

H ave you ever engaged in action not because you were sure it would change the world, but to satisfy your own heart? That, I emailed to an American friend, is why I have joined the effort to help North Koreans who are trying to escape from their homeland. I can’t change the direction of policy in North Korea or China but I can row the boat I am sitting in rather than lamenting that I can’t steer the yachts somewhere else. So I have tried to do what I can: Attending protests in front of the Chinese embassy in Seoul (and I plan to do so when I visit America in April); donating money to the Citizens’ Alliance for North Korean Human Rights ( www.nkhumanrights.or.kr ); educating myself, writing articles and emailing friends; and, as a member of the board of trustees, I recently submitted a resolution to the Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association (FDMHA) in Washington, D.C., to try to call attention to the plight of North Koreans. Our organization’s missi...
