Hello all, this may have a long shot but I might as well ask.
I’ve been a keen reader of Korean history for some time now, particularly modern Korean political history. I’ve read up on all of the Korean presidents post Korean war, and my favourite is Yun Posun.
The reason why I enjoy reading about him so much is because I believe he spent up to 7 years of his life in the UK, my home, from 1921 until 1932, whilst Korea was under occupation by the Japanese. He was part of the independence movement and aided the government in exile, and his love for the UK is well documented, including its Parliamentary system, which he wanted Korea to emulate.
However, for the life of me I cannot find any videos or recordings of him speaking English. I know he must have spoken it well considering the length of time he spent in the UK, as well as doing his Masters at the University of Edinburgh. He even returned to Scotland in 1982 to speak affectionately about his Alma mater.
Can anyone help me with this? Or did he really never have a recorded speech in English?
