Ken Eom on Diverse Voices radio (2022-08-26)

North Korean refugee Youngnam “Ken” Eom was a featured guest on “Diverse Voices” hosted by Jasmine Lee.

Youngnam first joined FSI in 2015 and has remained active with us ever since. FSI co-founder Eunkoo and I joined Youngnam for his in-person interview at the TBS e-FM radio station.

Jasmine, host of the show, has interviewed FSI staff members and speakers before. She is the first non-Korean to be elected to South Korea’s National Assembly. I first met her in 2012 or 2013.

Casey Lartigue awarded "Social Contribution" Award (Hansarang)

On April 20, 2017, I was awarded the "Social Contribution" award by the Hansarang Foundation. When I was first nominated, my response was: "Hahahaha! I won't win, but it is a great honor to be nominated." It was until I was a finalist that I took it seriously. Then instead of saying "I am honored to be nominated," I wanted to WIN ! Which I did! I was awarded a plaque, 10 million won (about $9,000), and many congratulations from many people (including other awardees that night).

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 .
