On Blogging Her Way Into Journalism, Living Through The Unimaginable & Finding Healing with Jieun Choi Part 2 of 2

In Part 2, Jieun and I retell how we met one summer in Seoul and what caused us to continue nurturing our friendship throughout the years. She then shares how writing down what she refers to as frivolous thoughts, every day for half a year, paved way for her career as a journalist. This career took a striking turn; while she was covering a story about spycam porn culture in South Korea, she found herself victim to what turned into a high profile sex crime case. Jieun opens up about how this event changed her life, how it impacted her mental health and her ongoing journey to healing. Her story and the hope she shares after experiencing life-altering trauma, serves as a testament that we can always pick up the pen and write a new story.    Jieun | Blog   Jieun | Korea Exposé Jieun | Open Shutters Documentary A Colorful Life Retreat | Interest page
