“Edinburgh is unequivocally the preserved land of enchanting literature. To bloom a Korean culture within this pulchritudinous city is my most demanding duty. ” — Gain Kim, 2020-21 President of EKSS
The President, when asked of her views on the society affairs, highlighted the importance of Korean identity as transnational subject. Regardless to its nationally defined borderlines, she described its cultural flourishment as the outcome of both creative individuals and universal values.
