Today’s interview is with Younkyung (Regina) Eum, a foreign law intern working with Foreign Law Specialist Sayuri Umeda in the Global Legal Research Directorate of the Law Library of Congress.

Describe your background.

I was born and raised in Masan, a small city in southern South Korea. Sadly, Masan has been integrated with the nearby city Changwon and no longer exists. When I was 18, I left my hometown and moved to Yongin, a city located in the northern part of South Korea, to attend university. I stayed in Yongin for about nine years, then came to the United States to study abroad in the winter of 2020.
