The website helping defectors adjust to life in the South

Run by refugees, for refugees, Woori On wants to help N. Koreans make the most of their new lives

25-year-old Park Dae-hyeon is helping North Korean defectors get back on their feet in South Korean society by sharing useful information through an easily accessible online platform.

Park, who crossed the Tumen River in October 2006 and arrived in South Korea in April 2007, established Woori On in July 2015 to provide important information for newly-arrived defectors.
