Please join us on next Monday evening, February 2 for a discussion with Jin-sung Jang, the author of Dear Leader Poet, Spy, Escapee – A Look Inside North Korea, a book about his life as the former “court poet” to Kim Jong-il, his work as a high-ranking counterintelligence agent, and his breathtaking escape to freedom. Mr. Jang, currently the editor-in-chief of New Focus International, an authoritative website reporting on North Korea, will provide a rare insider’s view into contemporary North Korea on his first visit to the U.S. The discussion will be led by Dr. Su Mi Terry, a former CIA analyst and current senior research scholar at Columbia University’s Weatherhead East Asian Institute. The book will be available for sale, and a reception and book signing will follow.
