August 16, 2023 ㅡOn Wednesday, August 16, 2023, Asia Society Korea held the finale of its title summer student program, “Voice of Youth,” during which this year’s cohort of fellows presented their research findings to a panel of distinguished judges. 

The event marked the conclusion of the 2023 season of Voice of Youth, which entailed a rigorous selection process and a period of intensive research. During the two months leading up to the presentations, the five fellows refined their research utilizing resources provided by Asia Society Korea, such as mentorship by members of Asia Society Korea’s network. 

We would like to extend our gratitude to this year’s panel of judges:

• H.E. Vu Tung Nguyen, Ambassador, Embassy of Vietnam
• H.E. Akiva J. Tor, Ambassador, Embassy of Israel
• Young Joon Kim, Board Member; former Partner of Milbank LLP
• Joon Oh, Board Member; Chair of Save the Children Korea
• Mason Richey, Senior Contributor, Asia Society Korea

We are proud to announce the winners of Voice of Youth 2023:

• Winner: Byeong Kyu Jun, Korea National Open University, Bachelor’s degree in Economics
• Runner-Up: Isabelle Pia Sison, Korea University, Master’s degree in Area Studies (East Asia)

Asia Society Korea serves as a platform for young and bright thinkers to pursue solutions for the next generation. The Voice of Youth program is a medium through which the ideas developed among this circle are shared with and built upon by the broader community. We are honored to host such interaction and look forward to expanding this network over the coming years.
