Gwangju Employers Federation to Host Friday Forum with North Korea Expert Kim Dongsik on the 23rd

The Gwangju Employers Federation announced on May 21 that it will host the 1,686th Friday Breakfast Forum special lecture on May 23, inviting North Korea expert Kim Dongsik as the guest speaker under the theme "No One Reported Me."

Kim, currently the CEO of North Korea Strategy Consulting, has served as a lead researcher at the National Security Strategy Institute under the National Intelligence Service, an analyst at the Defense Security Command, and spent 15 years as an operative for the External Liaison Department of the Workers' Party of Korea. He also operates the YouTube channel "Kim Dongsik's North Korea S-File" and has published several books, including "No One Reported Me," which reveals the realities of North Korea's strategies against South Korea.

This forum will focus on the following topics: the shift in North Korea's policy toward the South and its operational principles; the selection and training of infiltrators; North Korea's infiltration and operational tactics against South Korea; and the characteristics and outlook of recent spy ring cases. In particular, the lecture will emphasize national security measures, such as thorough security strategies to protect, maintain, and expand existing spy networks, as well as efforts to maximize internal conflict and division within South Korea through spy organizations, and to weaken the nation's power.

Yang Jinseok, president of the Gwangju Employers Federation, stated, "Kim, who graduated from the Kim Jongil Political and Military University, was dispatched to the South for the second time in 1995 to carry out a mission, but was apprehended and later defected. Since then, he has spent nearly 30 years engaged in North Korea's operations and intelligence analysis against the South, including serving as an analyst at the Defense Security Command (now the Defense Counterintelligence Command) in 1999. This will be a valuable opportunity to hear about a dramatic life that can offer insights for business management."
