A Letter From Jongwoo

Welcome, delegates, to LIMUN XL! 

My name is Jongwoo and I’m excited to serve as a crisis committee chair this year. I’m a senior at LAMP and I hope to make this conference a fun and exciting experience for you all.

Speaking of fun, the UN Security Council could be both fun and serious depending on how you run it. However, we’re all high schoolers, and I expect each of you to respect the program, the parliamentary procedure, and each other.

That said, I’m looking forward to hearing some interesting and unconventional argumentation, and I think this committee is a wonderful opportunity to push your skills to the limit or play devil’s advocate on a rather serious topic.

As for my personal side:

• I’m really into debate, especially national circuit debate (yes, I speak at 300 words per minute arguing humanity will face extinction)

• My hobbies include tennis and reading critical & feminist literature (Jane Austen>>>)

• I love The Great Gatsby (film AND book)

• I like vibe coding in my free time

One last note: As you enter this conference, I want you to remember that your participation means everything to make this event fun. Trust me, I understand the struggle of public speaking, but if you just come prepared and ready to work, it’ll make a world of difference. I would rather you speak and be wrong than be miserable in the back of the room. LIMUN can be incredibly eye-opening and engaging if you just give it a chance! I look forward to seeing you all! 

Best wishes, 

Jongwoo Lee
