When Angelina Jolie visited Seoul recently, the Hollywood beauty said it was unfortunate that news of inter-Korean tensions eclipsed the international media coverage on South Korea.
Case in point: Sohn Jie-ae would have been busy reporting Pyongyang’s human rights violations or artillery activities as the CNN correspondent to Seoul. But since February, she has been able to focus on the southern half of the Korean Peninsula as the spokesperson for the upcoming G20 Summit here.
“While working as a CNN correspondent for 15 years I covered the Korean Peninsula from top to bottom. I mostly dealt with North Korea but at some point I wanted to do a little more of South Korea. There are a lot of things about South Korea that is important, but North Korea dominates the global arena so much,” Sohn told The Korea Times last week in her office in Samcheong-dong, downtown Seoul.
