Calling my name (Songmi on Yumika's YouTube channel)


It is so wonderful when a North Korean refugee you wrote a book with mentions you during an interview. I'm the "with" author so that means that for many I am better unseen and unheard. But I'm not the typical "with" author. The book was my idea and I wrote it.



Songmi explained how she first got involved with FSI, going back to when we were TNKR.


Then yes! They started talking about me!


Songmi told the audience that I wrote the book with her.


Then they both praised and thanked me!

In your faces, you stupid conspiracy theorists!

Yumi is hilarious! She pretended to read the book, using simple English "Thank you very much."

Here are all four parts of the interview with Songmi.

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 .

From nothing to something super special (2023-02-10)

FSI has moved into a better institutional neighborhood where we are the poorest in the area. In August 2022, I was elected as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Freedom Speakers International (FSI) and in January 2023 FSI achieved incorporation status in South Korea. This has meant that FSI must upgrade operations and structure and I am the one, as chairman and co-president, who will be blamed if it doesn’t happen. I really should not be the chairman, for a variety of reasons, but anyway I am. Eunkoo and I are not the typical executives of a growing organization. In addition to being mainly responsible for building and fundraising for the organization, we are the hands-on leaders who are constantly in contact with North Korean refugee speakers. We look forward to the day we can afford staff to handle many tasks. Until then we can expect to continue having more days like yesterday, even on Eunkoo’s birthday. 2023-02-10 Meeting #1: planning We started Eunkoo’s birthday with a planning...
