He has so much interested in communities movement based on their villages/cities because he believes that stories of communities can bring changes to their society, not only physical development or reconstruction. He's been trying to make a change as a curator of TEDxItaewon, Seoul. He is TEDx Ambassador for Korea also and has attended TEDActive(Palm Springs) and TEDxSummit(Doha) 2012. He would like to share his ideas and passion with global network for villages/cities and North Korea by managing his organization.

1) TEDx event experience in S.Korea. => I know we all have quite different backgrounds, but in this inter-national and multi-national backgrounds we can make a difference together. There is so famous street called "ITAEWON" in Korea, a place international people gather and enjoy shopping. This is a perfect multinational circumstance. With gathering, networking, sharing ideas and enjoying TED, we all can understand the cultural difference and come to know the way solving problems around us. 2) TEDx event sharing in developing countries => I've been to Nepal three times and other asian countries also. IMHO, the sustainable support to the young generation in developing countries is holding TEDx event! I hope to hold TEDx event in Nepal this summer and other developing countries next year. Holding TEDx events is the way to make them to be connected to various people, knowledge, and ideas. Hope to hear your voices and to see at our TEDxItaewon event. Thanks! :-)
