Education of Lee Eun-koo
When my South Korean co-director and I began having disagreements about a project centered on North Korean refugees, she pulled the “expert card” on me. Based on her years of experience working with refugees, interviewing them directly in Korean, and her academic background (she has a master’s degree in North Korean Studies), Lee Eun-koo said that as a newcomer I didn’t know it was “known” that North Korean refugees are passive. Warning that expecting refugees to take charge of how they learn was doomed to fail, she threatened to quit. She frowned at me numerous times as we held our first “M...

Time and a dime
It is often noted that South Korea and Ghana had similar GDP levels per capita in 1960, but since then Korea has flourished while Ghana has floundered.

Is Donald Trump a racist?
Leading up to the US presidential election, there were news reports about white supremacists supporting a candidate.Yes, in 2008, white supremacist David Duke said Barack Obama as president would be “a visual aid” and “indisputable proof” that whites had lost control of the U.S.

Art of dealing with Trump
To the relief of expats, visitors, experts and veteran Korea watchers, Yonhap News reported on Nov. 10 that in a 10-minute phone call with South Korean president Park Geun-hye: “Trump says U.S. will remain 'steadfast, strong’ in defending against NK.”

Sogang University professor Park Eun-sung’s speech last Saturday about the challenges North Korean refugees face in learning English was so good that I searched for conference organizers so I could sign up to speak at a future conference.

Some say 'I'm a Little Big Hero'
If I hadn't known I was on TV, I would have learned it quickly because of the messages I started receiving: “Hey! Do you know you’re on TV?” I rarely watch TV, even when I have been interviewed. But this time, I was parked in front of the TV along with colleagues (including one of the North Korean refugees who told me “You look better on TV”). We were watching a 50-minute cable TV special about an organization I co-founded here in South Korea.

'Her name is Eun-hee Park'
Friends and family who don't know much about North Korea often ask me why some people conceal their faces in photos I post on my Facebook page.

Apathy about North Korea
I recently attended a United Nations conference in Seoul at which a couple of distinguished speakers asked: Why aren't more of the almost 30,000 North Korean refugees directly involved in activism against North Korea? A few others at the conference asked: Why don’t South Koreans care more about their Northern brethren? And others asked: Why are so many expats in Korea interested in helping North Korean refugees?

From Hwang Solo to Team Hwang
On December 11, 1969, a North Korean agent hijacked domestic flight Korean Air NAMC YS-11 from Gangwon to Gimpo just 10 minutes after take-off at 12:25 pm. All 50 people on board (46 passengers and 4 crew members) were abducted by North Korea.

Storming the Bastille for freedom
I was delighted to be invited to be a keynote speaker alongside esteemed Yonsei University economics professor Kim Chung-ho on May 28 at the inaugural Students for Liberty (Korea) conference in Seoul, but I also wasn’t sure I would be an appropriate speaker.
