NGOs Damhwapungwol (曇華風月): ‘A Heart That Knows Shame Protects the World’
UNJournal Jon Lee | Before ever speaking of enlightenment, Buddha taught the power to reflect on one's own mind. Today in Korea, we call that power su-o-ji-sim (羞惡之心), having a conscience and sense of shame. Su-o-ji-sim means the ability to be ashamed of one's own mistakes and to face the mistakes of others—not with a sense of anger but a desire to rectify. Mencius said: "A person lacking su-o-ji-sim is not truly human." He was not calling for a strict moral code but merely warning that a society whose conscience is fading will hasten its own collapse. Looking at society today, one can see the

NGOs Establishing a School for Diplomatic Talent. "Diplomatic Journal Promotes Educational Hub for Nurturing K-Diplomatic Cultural Envoys"
UNJournal Jon Lee | The 29 years of Diplomatic Journal are not simply a testament to its experience. They represent an asset built on the accumulated records and trust of the diplomatic field. Throughout this time, Diplomatic Journal has documented diplomacy not in the "language of power," but in the language of people and culture. Its records have captured the expressions of the field, rather than the words of agreements, and the weight of attitude, rather than the rhetoric of declarations. Now, the purpose of the 2026 K-Diplomatic Cultural Center is to pass this asset on to the next generati

NGOs [Shin Hyang-sik Column] A glass of water before making love, a promise to protect life
UNJournal Jon Lee | “Honey, I'm thirsty.” Once upon a time, this might have sounded like sweet words. But at certain moments, these words can be a warning signal from the heart. While making love, our bodies move similarly to when we engage in intense physical activity. The heart beats faster than usual, body temperature rises, and fluids are rapidly lost through breathing and sweating. Medically speaking, metabolic rate during sexual activity is reported to be 2–3 times higher than usual. The American Heart Association (AHA) and Mayo Clinic have repeatedly warned that dehydration increases th

UNJournal Jon Lee | Regardless of time and place, it has been the desire of all people to live a long and healthy life without illness. However, while health issues are a concern for everyone, no one knows the perfect way to manage them, making it a black box of sorts.

NGOs (Damwha Column) Why the occupation of history is scarier than that of territory
UNJournal Jon Lee | History is the root of an individual's roots and the core of a nation's and people's identity. So when history is lost or distorted, it's not just about losing the past, it's about losing the present and the future. While the occupation of territory cannot transcend physical boundaries, the occupation of history shakes a people's memory, culture, and spirit to the core. It results in mental colonization and leaves lasting damage that transcends generations. When history is occupied, it destroys a nation's sense of identity and pride. For example, during Japan's colonization
