Escaping North Korea: From Brainwashing to Freedom with Seohyun Lee

Women across the Washington, D.C. area are invited to attend our upcoming Conservative Women’s Network luncheon featuring Seohyun Lee on Friday, May 9, 2025, from 11:45 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Clare Boothe Luce Center for Conservative Women, 112 Elden Street, Suite P, in Herndon, Virginia.

Born and educated in central Pyongyang, Seohyun Lee is a North Korean defector, human rights advocate, and YouTube creator. After witnessing the Kim Jong Un regime’s purges, she and her family defected to the U.S. in 2016. Since then, she has championed human rights, delivering a TEDx talk, briefing the UN Security Council in 2023, and being recognized as a Korea-Unification Opinion Leader by South Korea’s Ministry of Unification. She is a recipient of the Bush Foundation’s Lindsay Lloyd North Korea Freedom Scholarship, the Otto Warmbier Scholarship, and serves on the McCain Institute’s Global Advisory Council.
