Israel - Who are they?


Israel- Who are they?

International Relations report from Hyo

I soon depart to Israel on 11th August, 2013, to participate the program called "Scoop Israel."In brief, the program aims to provide the "objective viewpoint" regarding the relation between Israel and other Middle-Eastern Asian countries , especially focusing on the Israel-Palestinian conflict. I was selected as one of the 22 youth journalists from 15 countriesin the world to participate the program which lasts for one week. 
 (Here is the details regarding the program, http://www.scoopisrael.com/)

Distortion, propaganda, exaggeration....
Surrounded by the flood of the media reporting, we are get lost about the truth and the verity of what is exactly going on in the domain.

For the following days, I would try to have a brief overview about the country itself, Israel but in the further way, we would see what is going on in the Middle East territory and the conflicts between Arabic world and Israel.

Writing is a big joy to me as much as having a waffle with blueberry jam

I do believe the power of writing. It moves people, inspires and connects each other with invisible strings and emotion. It allows you to delve into oneself, and draw for the better future. Yes, I am addicted into writing, regardless of language what I use, I enjoy scribbling down on the note whenever something new and fresh ideas come into my mind.

With just one sentence, you can change the world by step by step.

That is the power of the pen.




Exciting moment to interview Korea's favorite movie star, Ahn Sung Kyi

So far so now, I have worked as a journalist since 10-year old. I exactly remember the moment when I had an interview to be the youth journalist for the newspaper called, "여럿이함께 (Together)" with my next door friend. The first interviewee of my life was a 70-year old grandmother who was selling vegetables on the street. I cannot still forget the thrill of the moment by interviewing her and listen to her life story with shining two eyes.





Former president of Korea, Myung Bak Lee at the World Conservation Congress in Jeju

In 2006, I participated in the national article writing competition hosted by "중앙일보(JoongAng Ilbo)," one of the Korea's prestigious newspaper agencies. I was selected as one of the five youth journalists in my age group, by getting the 2nd prize in the national competition. Since then, I have uploaded articles regularly through the internet and one of my articles were published on the daily newspaper for the column section. The column was dealing with the fact that Koreans' national satisfaction index placed 45th among 47 countries, The first moment in my life when your article is published on the newspaper!


2011- Environment Research in China; Beijing, Shanghai, Suzhou and Hangzhou

I worked as a journalist for the school newspaper, "Gimfl Square" at my high school days as well. We published the magazine twice in a year. It was chance to improve my English reporting skills by getting support and advice from my friends, my school seniors and teachers.  


After entering to the Ewha Womans University, I started my internship as the staff reporter for the newspaper agency situated in the Jeju Island, Republic of Korea. Jeju Island is designated as the Unesco's World Heritage and it is one of the major tourist attraction site in Asia. I worked for the staff reporter for The Jeju Weekly and also assisted for the Chinese newspaper edition 济州周刊.


Beautiful Jeju Isalnd. 

My former editor Mr. Thacker was such a respectable journalist. He became one of my role models, by showing his enthusiasm and passion for the high-quality, transparent and objective writing. I got instructions from him regarding the English reporting from A to Z. He always encouraged me to go to the spot and find the article items, deal wide topics ranging from Society to Sports section.



I am currently working for the economic news policy briefing at OECD in Paris

I also worked as the media team intern for the World Conservation of Congress's Daily Newspaper, as the youngest and the only intern journalist for the conference Nature+. For 10 days, I was in charge of interview section and policy briefing. I interviewed President of Guyana Bharrat Jagdeo, Director general of IUCN julia marton-lefèvre, President of WBCSD Peter Bakker, Founder of the Google Earth Outreach program Rebecca Moore etc. 



Power people whom I interviewed so far includes.....

President of Guyana Bharrat Jagdeo













Currently, I am working as an intern for the policy briefing newsletter by OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) which is published by every two week. 



Writing is my life.

I do not know how I would end up in 10 years from now on, but the thing I can assure is that I would keep writing regardless of my profession. I also would like to publish my own book, write about people whom I met. 



Now ready to read?

I would not hesitate to use this word.


Lover
사랑, love, 爱, amour, حب,  愛 , αγάπη, amore, любить amor


The world is full of many things to love, such as;
Breathing fresh air by strolling down the riverside in the morning, having a nice cup of espresso while flipping through your old photos, waking up late in the bed on Saturday morning etc.  I love and appreciate every single trivial stuffs in my life.




Love does not only mean falling in romance :-)


I started the blog out of the conclusion that there is a certain limit to express my idea with just several sentences through Facebook. I want to share my idea with others and hope to inspire each other for the better tomorrow.


Are you Ready?





Love....

Writing diary every night before going to bed
Traveling with hiking shoes; Feel the blue sky, ocean and trees

Traditional Korean Clothes Hanbok! Isn't it beautiful?




Busan; My beautiful hometown in Korea. Beautiful ocean city. You see seagulls rather than pigeons. You eat fresh seafood rather than frozen beef. Most of all, you breathe brisk air from the coast side rather than smoke from running cars.

Paris; Love Bill Evans? Ernest Hemmigway? Monet? Wine? Cheese? Baguette? Then this is the perfect place for you.  Center of Romance!
