CAH met Kim Jung-hoon . When he was a university student, 1 year ago, he made a society research of politics and diplomacy of university student. Although his organization existed during a very short term, after he made the organization, he participated in many events opened by political organization.  CAH asked some questions to him because he has a lot of political experience.

CAH : As a university student, is there any difficulty to create a political participating community and to participate in a political circle?
Kim : Beforehand, there was financial hardship. When my group did some event like a forum, we needed money to continue the event.
 Second, there is a limit made by political and diplomatic people. They emphasize student's purity and they don't permit substantial works.

CAH : You met many internal and external opposition people. When you participated and acted as a university student, how did they react? And how what did think about the political participation of university students? 
Kim : When I attended as only a university student among the attendance at a invitation dinner party for a Representative from America, he said that in Korea, students' political participation seems active because of my attendance. But some domestic Assemblyman said to him that this was not a common circumstance. They said most students' participation is very tough and negative by student activists. Like this, domestic Assemblymen have a negative perception of students' participation. And they limit the extent to which we can join. So students want to participate positively but there is a barrier. In America, students' participation is very natural and there are many ways for students to join. For example, at this time a young Egyptian woman is admitted as an assistant secretary charging people in America. She worked as a intern in Congress when she was a university student. Through intern activity she was recognized by her ability, so she was recommended at the White House, and now she became a assistant secretary.

CAH : Lastly do you have any comments for students who have an interest in politics?
Kim : Yes. I think politics is very a professional part. So we can participate effectively using special knowledge through our major. Study hard! Study either your major or another major when you can learn in university.
