    This is the final episode of Korean Adoptees Series. You don't wanna miss the story of Sun Yung Shin (신선영). She shares her experience of connecting with the adoption agency Holt, her first trip to South Korean in 1987, a pivotal time when Korean people were protesting dictatorship and fighting for democracy, what this female adopted Korean American identity brings to her, and her decision to legally change her previous name to Sun Yung Shin (신선영).

  • 002 | Poverty by South Korea and Imaginative Solutions in Long Time No Sex

    Send us Fan Mail

    Long Time No Sex surprises me so much at the start of this year. I love the parts that LTNS comes up with interesting and strong ideas to end poverty and women’s plight in South Korea. So I discuss what caused poverty in South Korea, situation of women, and the touching impressive details in LTNS.
