Mike Kim is an author, consultant, NGO founder, and North Korea
specialist based in Washington DC. He is the author of the Wall Street
Journal featured book "Escaping North Korea", a current events memoir
about his experiences at the China-North Korea border helping North
Koreans escape the regime. On New Year's Day 2003, Mike gave up his
financial planning business in Chicago, Illinois and left for China on
a one-way ticket carrying little more than two duffle bags. While
living near the North Korean border, he operated undercover as a
student of North Korean taekwondo, training and competing under two
famous North Korean masters from Pyongyang--eventually receiving a
second-degree blackbelt.

During his time in China, he learned of the hundreds of thousands of
North Koreans fleeing to China through a 6,000-mile modern-day
underground railroad, which runs from Pyongyang to Bangkok, in search
of food and freedom. He founded Crossing Borders, a nonprofit
dedicated to providing humanitarian assistance to North Korean
refugees which has testified at a US congressional hearing and has
been a long time contributor of the State Department's annual
Trafficking in Persons Report. Mike frequently appears in the media:
He has appeared on CNN Anderson Cooper 360 and it was after his
interview on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart that there was interest
from Hollywood in turning Escaping North Korea into a motion picture.
A team of producers and writers are currently developing the script,
with the book-to-film project represented by William Morris Endeavor.

Mike lectures to audiences worldwide about his experiences at the
China-North Korea border and has now shared his stories of
inspiration, courage, and hope on five continents. Mike resides in
Washington DC where he is a consultant and term member of the Council
on Foreign Relations.
