Learning to use human-centered design was a game-changer! Talking directly with youth in our community revealed insights we’d missed, shaping a project that truly meets their needs. #LearningSprintIOCYL @iocyoungleaders

Inspired by Sarah Johnson, 27, who launched Mindful Moves to support youth mental health through sports. Her partnerships with schools, mental health pros, and local sports clubs were key to creating safe spaces for young people to grow. 🙌 #LearningSprintIOCYL @iocyoungleaders

I appreciate @GPAffairs1 for inviting me to speak on "From Protest to Policy" which is important topic to discuss especially with what is going on right now from social instability around the world to wars to conflict to endless crisis.

@GPAffairs1 I am here. Where is the twitter space?

Seoul Foreign Correspondents’ Club weighs in

[James Paek @jamespaek]

@koryodynasty What right do they have to exclude MBC to not to report due to dislike of the reporting? Similar to Trump dislike to CNN. Yoon is very much like Trump. No question and no doubt.

[Raphael Rashid @koryodynasty]

Re: Itaewon disaster, many people believe the South Korean government is scapegoating those at the bottom of the chain while entirely avoiding responsibility themselves. Namely putting blame on the head of Yongsan fire station, which is not going down well.

[Raphael Rashid @koryodynasty]

Frontline firefighters who were dispatched as the first emergency workers at the Itaewon crush today expressed their frustrations, given how they are now basically being scapegoated for the disaster.

[Raphael Rashid @koryodynasty]

Lee Sang-ho (mentioned above) is reporting the results of a reported vote by Yoon Suk-yeol press pool reporters re: decision to ban MBC from his overseas trip, overwhelmingly in favour of taking "joint action", could include a boycott. Details of joint action TBC.

대통령실의 왜곡/편파 보도 방지 대책은 북한과 똑같네요.

[Raphael Rashid @koryodynasty]

3/ It would be deeply disturbing if it turns out the Yoon Suk-yeol government pressured the BBC to "correct" its report because it didn't like the sentence "This footage from last year shows police controlling the crowds at the same spot", which is true.

Yoon's government will potentially call on prosecutors to make up evidence to prosecute and criminalize foreign press and potentially issue a travel ban on foreign press media for entering Korea for press coverage. Korea has dark days ahead of us. #IStandWithMBC

[Jake Kwon @therealjakekwon]

Something odd in today’s South Korean govt press release: they are officially requesting that BBC correct their report of Itaewon crush. Any clarification? @BBCLBicker @wj_bae @jeanmackenzie
