I want to share an experience from my reporting internship at Seoul National University FactCheck Center, which recently shut down after the current government cut its budget.

The head of the Presidential Inauguration Committee directed sexist and vulgar insults at me.
Before I continue, let me introduce myself again. I’m a journalist and South Korean national. Some people might wonder how I can explain this situation while being based in NYC. I lived my whole life in South Korea, and I've only been in the States for four months.
I have completed two internships. I worked as a legislative assistant at the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea and as a fact-checking reporter at the SNU FactCheck Center. President Yoon was elected during my reporting internship.
