Seoul, Seoul, South Korea
I am currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in International Studies at Yonsei University in Seoul, with a focus on human rights and security studies, particularly in the context of East Asia. My academic interests center on understanding the intersection of international relations, regional security, and human rights through rigorous analysis. I plan to continue my academic path by pursuing a Master’s degree and eventually a PhD in International Area Studies, with the goal of contributing to research and academic discussions on regional security dynamics and human rights issues. Alongside my studies, I actively seek opportunities to engage with these topics beyond the classroom. I am committed to applying my academic training in practical contexts and hope to contribute to research, policy, or organizational work within international institutions, NGOs, or research organizations. My objective is to develop strong analytical expertise while contributing to meaningful work addressing contemporary regional and global challenges.
