Hi! This is Seungmin. I am a third-year studying Econ and IR at Yonsei University.

Growing up, I was that kid who couldn't help brain dumping everything I learned to everyone I know (sorry, Mom).

Now I channel that nerdy energy into IR academia, where I get to build bridges between research and real-world impact—whether that's influencing policymakers, guiding business leaders, or making complex ideas accessible to everyone, including my very patient mother.

Because everyone deserves access to understanding our interconnected world!

I am currently working as a research intern at CSIS Korea Chair. When I am not at my desk, catch me practicing amateur photography through my trusty Fujifilm X70.

Seriously, please feel free to message me at seungmin@yonsei.ac.kr for free headshots! (And networking in general of course!)
