About Me

MY CURRENT MISSION

Just staying alive!

ABOUT ME

** I will conduct my internship program at UNU-FLORES in Dresden for 4 months. I am very excited to have an opportunity to stay in Dresden. **

I'm happy, outgoing, simpatico person from South Korea. The small Asian girl who has a huge curiosity about everything & the World and also wants to explore it. I completed a bachelor's degree in Political Science and Diplomacy, and minoring in Interior Architecture and Built Environment, at Yonsei University in Seoul. Also, I have experience as an exchange student at Sciences-Po in France for six months. I am very interested in Europe, and I've spent my time studying the European Unions currently. Also, I conducted research and studies about UN(United Nations) and EU(European Union).

In Korea, I'm doing many various things. I have a lot of interests for everything. so those make me crazy busy sometimes :)

1. I'm a Rock band member of my university with my friends. I can play bass guitar.(but I'm not a pro. not excellent playing lol)
2. I'm a journalist and editor for Sports magazine. Especially I'm a manager of department of Ice hockey. It gives me energy and fun.
3. Also I'm working on a editorial staff of the European Research Institute under Yonsei-SERI EU Centre. I wrote and published the articles about Scandinavian design and culture/ Humanitarian assistance for North Korea.
4. Love to travel Korea. Go excursion whenever I have a time.!
