Part 2 (final) of our conversation with Korean journalist and author Myeongmook Lim at the International Festival of Youth 2026 in Ekaterinburg, Russia. After a short reintroduction, he talks about how the festival changed his view of Russia and its youth, how South Koreans see North Korea, Western media and "copy-paste" foreign news, travelling to Korea, Bangladesh's 1971 Liberation War as a global story, Tagore and Okakura, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, Tagore's "The Lamp of the East" for Korea, and why Korea is not "ahead" and Bangladesh is not "behind".
