With high profile incidents like the recent sinking of the South Korean Navy ship and the capture of American journalists, tensions mount in the Korean Peninsula.
It’s time for us to get educated.
As part of its T.H.I.N.K. (Topple Hunger in North Korea) Conference in Los Angeles, the Korean American Coalition is assembling a rare panel of experts on North Korea, including two of the highest profile defectors from the “Hermit Kingdom.” This is a unique opportunity to gain fresh insight into a country that remains stubbornly frozen in the Cold War era, in a region that holds deep cultural, economic and military ties with the U.S.
The event, which will take place on June 25 and 26 at the Westin Bonaventure, will feature guest speakers Sang Man Han (Founder, Han-Schneider Int’l Children’s Foundation), Cheol-Hwan Kang (DPRK defector & Journalist in Seoul), Professor David Kang (Director, USC Korean Studies), David J. Karl (President, Asia Strategy Initiative), Dr. Ae-Ran Lee (DPRK defector and 2010 Int’l Women of Courage Award recipient), John S. Park (Sr. Research Associate, U.S. Institute of Peace) and Suzanne Scholte (President, Defense Forum Foundation).
