After falling under the spell of K-pop boy band TVXQ, a Japanese high school girl began to learn about Korea and its language before actively pursuing her dream job in the entertainment industry here three years ago ― away from her parents who did not approve of her career choice.
When she arrived in Korea, the whole nation was in a festive mood ahead of the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics and Paralympics. Saori Fujimoto, now 31, did not know her decision to work as a promoter for the event would change her life. Touched by the passion and the spirit of the Para-athletes, she started to learn Korean Sign Language (KSL) after the Games, in the hopes of connecting the hearing impaired to the world.
