Jooyang is the director of Public Relations at an international NGO that focuses mainly on North Korea. She is also a research and strategy intern at another international NGO that focuses on rescuing and resettling North Korean refugees. Other than that, she works through various media channels to promote understanding of the reality of North Korea.
