Teri Shim's "Greenlight to Freedom" animation (2022-01-09)

I know people feel comfortable saying that young South Koreans don't care about North Korean refugees... but when they do, and when they do something, can we acknowledge that?

Teri Shim is a South Korean high school student who made an original animation based on Chapter 2 of Greenlight to Freedom by North Korean refugee Songmi Han with Casey Lartigue. It is so wonderful to have Teri use her skills making animations to help us inform people about the book. This is now the second animation she has made for FSI.

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.
