20.05.20 Feedback from Eunsun Kim

2020-05-20 Eunsun Kim, author of "A Thousand Miles to Freedom," stopped by the TNKR office today. Eunsun was the winner of TNKR's third English speech contest, has spoken at several TNKR events over the years, and been in a student in every TNKR program.

Her feedback is valuable. She has seen us grow from something to nothing over the past five years, so she can discuss things not only as we operate now, but also from knowing how we have developed. Also, she has worked with other refugee focused organizations, so she has a good understanding of the local scene, and also knows which ones are to be avoided..

She signed a few copies of her book, which we plan to share with TNKR Members.

Here she is in an interview with the singer Sting, where she hilariously admitted she had no idea who he was. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bx-a3xgNVYk

Without her autograph, you can order her book directly from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Thousand-Miles-Freedom-Escape-North/dp/1250092841

To start the processing of getting a signed copy of her book as well as others by North Korean refugees, become a TNKR member.

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...
