Mission Image

"Building political bridges between Korea and America for a stronger shared future."

NetleeWorld/네트리월드 is dedicated to strengthening and advancing Korean-American relations through comprehensive political advocacy, policy development, and cultural diplomacy. Our mission is rooted in three fundamental pillars:

1. Political Advocacy & Policy Influence

We actively engage with policymakers in both the United States and Korea to promote legislation and policies that benefit our communities. Through our Washington D.C. and Seoul-based teams, we:

  • Monitor and analyze political developments affecting Korean-Americans
  • Develop policy recommendations on key issues including trade, security, and immigration
  • Organize congressional briefings and diplomatic meetings
  • Advocate for fair representation in government agencies

2. Community Empowerment & Political Education

We believe an informed community is an empowered community. Our educational initiatives include:

  • Voter registration and civic engagement programs
  • Political leadership training for young Korean-Americans
  • Town halls and policy forums with elected officials
  • Multilingual political education resources
  • Historical awareness programs about Korean-American political achievements

3. Cultural Diplomacy & International Relations

We serve as a bridge between cultures through:

  • High-level diplomatic exchanges and track II diplomacy initiatives
  • Cultural exchange programs that highlight political dimensions
  • Joint research projects with Korean think tanks and universities
  • Promotion of people-to-people exchanges with policy impact
