The TED story

1. [My First TEDx Experience] As an exchange student at Tsinghua University in 2019, I participated in TEDxTHU as an audience, which was my first TEDx experience. I was fascinated by how students independently organized events every semester, and I immediately thought "I should organize my own TEDx event when I'm back in Korea." 2. [TEDxEwha] I talked to my best friend about TEDx event and she loved it, so we prepared for over a year and successfully finished the TEDxEwha event. Throughout the whole time, we could experience so many things that are so valuable that can't be described in words. I especially learned how communication is essential and important while preparing for the event. 3. [TEDxSeoul] After I graduate from university, I joined TEDxSeoul as a member and organized two events. TEDx Book Club Event and TEDx Korea Brunch Workshop with Will Davis from TEDx Development. The brunch workshop meant a lot to me in that I could see how other TEDx communities and events are going on especially during the pandemic through Will's presentation, and networking with Korean TEDx organizers.
