Eunmi Park speech to American travelers to Korea (2022-07-19)

Eunmi Park was the featured speaker at an event with American travelers visiting South Korea.

She gave a speech in English and then took questions from the travelers.

It was fantastic for Eunmi. She heard some of the questions that people have about North Korea and her story. She got a few ideas about topics she should include in her book. One of the travelers was in tears as she listened.

These sessions are wonderful for the attendees because they get to hear from people from North Korea directly. It is great for the speakers in Freedom Speakers International because they get to engage with audiences in a friendly low-pressure situation.

In my case, I had a mentoring session on the way to the speech, introduced FSI at the beginning of the event and answered questions, listened to a mentoring session while I was in taxi and then back at the office, did my usual work, then from about 8 something Lee Eunkoo and I listened to another mentoring session.

After her speech, Eunmi came to the FSI office with us to work on her book until almost 5 pm. Yes, she spent almost 8 hours with us today.

It was a joyful day despite talking about some serious issues.

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...
