North Korea Strategy Center (NKSC), a registered not-for-profit NGO, was established in Seoul, South Korea in 2007 to raise awareness of North Korea's human rights conditions and advocate for freedom and unification in Korea. Since its inception NKSC has worked with over 150 North Korean defectors and sent over 40,000 DVDs, 400 radio sets, and 4,000 USBs into North Korea. NKSC seeks to bring free press and media to North Korea by working with North and South Koreans, as well as the international community, raising awareness of the need for freedom of information and expression in North Korea. NKSC has carried out extensive research on the effects and impacts of external media on the North Korean people, as well as many seminars on information dissemination and control in North Korea. NKSC works closely with the defector community, providing various training programs and workshops, including training young North Korean defector journalists and facilitating connections between defectors and media outlets.
