How I became interested in Southeast Asia(7)

Brief story of how I became interested in Southeast Asia including Indonesia

Nowadays the importance of Southeast Asia is getting highlighted as the region's economic clout has been growing in the international stage. In fact, more and more Korean people and Korean companies are turning their eyes toward Southeast Asia. 

However, the presence of Southeast Asia in the Korean society is unfortunately a long way to go. This especially poses pity in the wake of the 50th anniversary of ASEAN this year. My job description for a senior researcher will be prioritized if I am lucky enough to be a part of the Mission of the Republic of Korea to ASEAN in Jakarta. 

Moreover, I'd like to actively exercise my extensive knowhow on Southeast Asia, expertise of a former journalist and global sense to let the Korean public know more about ASEAN.
