TNKR on KBS news corner 2016-02-20 at 6 pm

 

TNKR (now FSI) will be featured for one minute on the KBS News corner on February 20, 2016 at 6 pm.

KBS was with us from 10:30 a.m. until 5 pm when we finally left the Matching session. That's right, KBS reporters were with us for 6 1/2 hours, for what was planned to be a one-minute segment. Is segment the right word? Feature seems too grand. Well, it is longer than the commercials, one minute of TV time is a long time, and it is better to have a short segment or feature rather than nothing else. Still, it feels like a roller coaster at an amusement park. Wait in line a long time for a two minute ride.

The Korea Herald is also planning an article soon, a reporter interviewed the TNKR co-directors a few days ago, and returned yesterday from 1 to 7 pm to learn more about what we are doing...

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...
