    New Malden

    Thank you Korea Women International (KOWIN) for hosting me in New Malden, Korea Town in the UK, on Saturday June 10th, 2023.

    About 50 Koreans living in the UK attended, both in person and by zoom, and I was very moved to hear that my story was received as an exemplary reunited Korea, not a theoretical one but a real one.

    Bratislava

    Thank you Faculty of Management, Comenius University in Bratislava for giving me the opportunity to present our book The Hard Road Out/ 가려진세계를 넘어 in Slovakia.

    As a South Korean, I addressed the anxiety of being from a divided nation. The words from an Ukrainian student who attended the talk will stay with me:

    "I am afraid Ukraine is going to end up divided like Korea. I have taken in everything that you have said today. Your story could me mine soon."

    The suffering is real. Not a theory. Not a fiction. Closer to us than we think.
