[KS] Who remembers Huy Dong Shin? 신휘동

[Barbara Wall]

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

were you alive in the 1980s and do you remember Huy Dong Shin 신휘동? And
would you like to share your memories with us?

Huy Dong Shin came to Denmark at the beginning of the 1960s with a
scholarship by the Korean government to study agricultural economics. He
soon started to get involved in all kinds of activities related to Korea.
He assisted the National Museum, the Royal Library and also started to
teach Korea at the university in Copenhagen.

He was also involved in AKSE during the first years and organized one of
the earliest AKSE conferences in 1983 in Copenhagen. He died too early in
1985. You can find obituaries by Staffan Rosen and Henrik Sørensen in the
AKSE newsletter from 1986:

My colleague Hyunjoo Choi found an image on a blog by Professor 이희우 showing
Shin together with Dr. Skillend in Korea : h

The Copenhagen team would like to write a short article on Shin and
welcomes all hints, links, memories and pictures of Huy Dong Shin. (It
would also be great to learn more about 이희우!)

Please send all information to me: barbara.wall at hum.ku.dk

All the best,
Barbara
