Korean community's response to wildfires in Los Angeles

Time for K-Correspondent. Today we connect to Los Angeles which is still suffering the aftermath of the recent wildfires. We will talk about the situation with Robert Ahn, the President of the Korean American Federation of Los Angeles which was quick to respond in its relief efforts for the community. Hello Mr. Ahn!

Q1) The wildfires that ravaged southern California since early last month and have killed 29 people have been fully contained as of roughly a week ago, but the aftermath continues to impact the area. Mr. Ahn, how is the situation right now?

Q2) Los Angeles is home to the largest Korean population in the U.S. How badly has the Korean community been affected by the fires? We’ve heard how former Major League Baseball pitcher Park Chan-ho’s home has been destroyed. What about other damage?

Q3) There have also been some unfortunate cultural losses in the latest fires please tell us about that.

Q4. Let's now turn to your community's efforts to help. The Korean American Federation of Los Angeles swiftly responded. In what way?

Q5. We also heard that individual donations and support from entrepreneurs in the community are continuing. What’s your view of such contributions?

Q6. Please tell us about any additional fundraisers or support you're planning in the future, and finally, is there any way we can participate from Korea?

Thank you very much Mr. Ahn for sharing and for connecting with us during the difficult time that you, the community and everyone affected by the wildfires must be coping with. We sincerely wish the best for the remaining recovery efforts.

Thank you Bella as always. I'll see you back next week.
