A Letter From Dongwon

Hello everyone!

My name is Dongwon Kim and it is an honor to be your chair for the Beyond the Headlines committee as part of this year’s LIMUN conference, LIMUN XL. I am a junior and this will be my third year of participating in Model UN, through past LIMUN conferences as a delegate, as well as TravelMUN conferences with our TravelMUN team!

Beyond the Headlines is a specialized committee that addresses conspiracy theories, specifically media-related ones, to promote media literacy to delegates. We will discuss topics ranging from social media to Hollywood to even global media.

A little about me:

• My favorite hobbies are singing, dancing, acting, and talking! I’m involved in a lot of clubs (almost half here at LAMP), most notably Speech and Debate! I primarily compete in Interpretation events for Speech—basically acting—and I finally got the State Championship title for an event called “Dramatic Interpretation” last year, even qualifying to Nationals! 

• Aside from activities, I also LOVE spicy foods, I even bring Buldak sauce bottles to competitions, and strawberry-flavored foods/drinks. 

• My favorite color is light pink. 

• Though I may seem like an extrovert because of my talkative and social personality, I am very introverted and value my alone time.

I’m so excited for our committee this year, it’s going to be great. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions and I'll see you in session!
