2021-02-10 Workable Words ep. 2 (Eunhee Park)


A few weeks ago, Eunhee Park interviewed me on her Youtube channel. This time it was my chance to interview her.

I talked to her about things that inspire her as well as asked her if she thinks she inspires others. Watch it here!



Eunhee Park is a North Korean Defector. We often hear their stories, but isn't there more to them than that? Workable Words talked with Eunhee about ways that her words are workable. Who or what inspires her? Has she inspired others into action? Eunhee studied in FSI (formerly TNKR) for several years, going from an A-B-C level English speaker to T-E-D! She is now Development Coordinator of FSI. The interview was conducted by Casey Lartigue, co-founder and co-president of Freedom International Speakers (FSI) along with South Korean researcher Lee, Eunkoo.

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...
