An Evening Inside North Korea: Information, Technology, and Change

Moderated by Hannah Song, CEO of , this conversation will feature Sokeel Park, LiNK’s Chief Strategy Officer, and Hannah Oh, a young North Korean activist whose life was transformed by exposure to uncensored information and foreign media.
Through Hannah Oh’s personal story and Sokeel’s insights, we’ll explore how information and technology, and power intersect inside the world's most repressive state, and how even small shifts in access are reshaping what’s possible for ordinary North Koreans.The regime forbids nearly every freedom. To make matters worse, the regime has isolated the people from the rest of humanity, preventing them from sharing their stories with the world. The only voice that is allowed is the regime’s and this has led to a lack of international support for the North Korean people.
Despite its reputation as the most closed country in the world, North Korea is not static. Smuggled devices and content, emerging technologies, and the ingenuity of North Korean citizens have begun to erode the regime’s monopoly on information. These changes represent one of the most meaningful opportunities to accelerate change inside the country today.
