Technology is a double-edged sword, but perhaps not in this case, for the country that resides in “the darkest corner of the world.” This article discusses how North Korea can be opened up to the rest of the world and contemplates methods such as “youth movements” through the spread of communications technology. There’s lots of […]
Hello! My name is Maxxe. I presented with Think North Korea (affiliated with the larger group, Liberty in North Korea) at the Lovett School on Monday. The experience was eye opening, to say the least. I got interested in TNK when they presented for our school. I happened to be one of few in the […]
On Thursday, Michael and I went to a branding workshop. At the Coke headquarters on GA Tech campus, this workshop was one that I’d looked forward to the entire year. Coca-Cola, the most recognized brand in the world, has tremendous experience with tailoring ads and campaigns to compel customers to 1. buy their products and […]
I’m Pranav, a sophomore at Westminster who started working with LINK this year. My interest in North Korea first came from a National Geographic documentary that documented the human rights struggle in North Korea with a film crew disguised as a surgeon’s assistant. Up until that point, I was a part of the majority of […]
When an idea is in its first few stages, you know that the beginning is bound to be a little rocky. Before the Alternative Gift Fair, I anticipated that we weren’t really going to be able to stand out amongst the other booths. How could we, when we had nothing to sell? We decided on […]
Woo, that was a close one. The traffic at Pace was very tight, due to some construction that was occurring on campus. The cars were inching along at a snail’s pace, and I was deeply concerned that we would not make it on time to our own presentation. But we made it (although barely) and […]
Today was a good day. Woke up with butterflies in my stomach, tired to my core. But I tried to suppress it all when I walked onto the stage to present in front of the entire high school, close to 1000 students. And…I saw faces. Many faces, contrasted with bright colors of polos and khakis. […]
Last Friday, my friends Dillon and Michael joined me in visiting a local high school to spread awareness about Liberty in North Korea. For security purposes, the name of the school will have to be omitted, but I can definitely say with confidence that it was a great deal of fun. The faculty coordinator was […]
On March 20th, Michael and I attended the GivingPoint Sparks Event! It was at this building with a long hallway, which was filled with about 14 teams of about 1-3 people each. The hallway eventually led to a colorful room filled with wines for adults to sample. When I first walked in, I was caught […]
A summary about the status quo of North Korea North Korea is commonly believed to have the most oppressive dictatorship on the planet. If you question government legitimacy, you will be denied every basic right, and will either be sent to a prison camp or publicly executed. You are not allowed to leave the country […]
