South Korea

We are in Korea on the invitation of the Korean Tourism Organisation. An interview with the current president of KTO turned out to be very interesting. His name is Charm Lee and I'm sure he has much more to say than we had time to ask in our little interview. Mr. Lee is a naturalized Korean citizen originally from Germany. A big man, towering over his colleagues, Mr. Lee is the first foreign-born, naturalized person to hold such a high post in Korean society. His appointment caused much debate in Korea. He speaks perfect Korean, from what I can tell because I would be easy to fool. He has lived in the country for 30 years and is married to a Korean women. He became famous through acting in television and I'm sure he has many more stories to tell. I hope to come back to Korea and do a portrait of this interesting person straddling two very different cultures.
