At Harvard, it’s easy to lose track of the rest of the world. When your entire existence here is regimented into eight semesters, 128 credits, and a minimum GPA of 3.0, you sometimes forget that this isn’t the only – or even the best – way to do things. And it wasn’t until last week, when I heard the Korean artist Park Dae Sung speak on campus, that I personally got a wake-up call.
Since September 19, the Korea Institute at Harvard University has been displaying the ‘Park Dae Sung: Ink and Soul’ exhibition on the Councourse floor of the Center for...

I enrolled in two courses at SNU ISP—one on the East Asian financial system and another on the application of international law. Through these courses I was able to engage with Korean professors who have served for decades in the Korean...
Thanks to funding from centers such as Harvard’s Korea Institute, I was able to conduct fieldwork for my senior thesis this summer. The Korea Institute supplemented the costs of spending time in research, creating contacts, transcribing Korean interviews into English notes, and making site visits once in the country.
Before embarking on this research, I had formalized the question, “How does liberal religious advocacy influence South Korea’s human rights foreign policy on North Korea towards civil and political rights (CPR) v. economic, social, and cultural rights (ESCR)...
Faculty Project: Database of North Korean Cyber Operations Faculty Director: Prof. John Park, Director, Korea Project, Harvard Kennedy School
This summer, I was a Research Assistant for Professor John Park at the Harvard Kennedy School-affiliated Belfer Center. Over ten weeks, I conducted a research project called ‘Database of North Korean Cyber Operations’. Effectively what this meant was that I would be examining North Korea’s activities, attacks, espionage acts in cyberspace. The end goal was to develop my own knowledge, assist Professor Park and his...
