Dear Friends and Colleagues,
It's truly inspiring to see such a diverse and passionate group of individuals gathered. We are communicating these days, all united by a common goal: addressing the urgent human rights issues facing North Korea. As a representative of the International Democracy Hub (IDH), I am deeply honored to work with you.

In a world where our voices often feel drowned out by the noise of larger political agendas, it's easy to become disillusioned and disheartened. But here, in this hub, we have the opportunity to make our voices heard, to stand up for what we believe in, and to demand change.

We, the younger generation, understand the power of collective action. We refuse to accept the status quo, and we are determined to be the agents of change our world so desperately needs. The human rights abuses in North Korea are not just statistics or headlines; they are the stories of real people, people just like us, who deserve to live in freedom and dignity.

Today, as we come together to discuss and debate, let us remember the faces behind the statistics. Let us honor the courage of North Korean defectors who have risked everything to escape oppression. And let us reaffirm our commitment to stand in solidarity with the people of North Korea until their human rights are fully recognized and respected.

This issue may seem daunting, but I am confident that together, we can make a difference. Our generation has the power to shape the future, and it is up to us to ensure that it is a future where human rights are upheld, and justice prevails.

So let's roll up our sleeves, let's dive into these discussions with passion and determination, and let's work towards a world where every individual can live with freedom, dignity, and hope.

Thank you for joining us on our journey to improve North Korean human rights.

Warm regards,
Hyeon_IDH Represenataive
