Congratulations on the 70th anniversary of The Korea Herald, which has played a significant role as a fundamental bridge between the world and South Korea with accurate reporting and balanced analysis, reflecting the country's growth over the past 70 years.

I appreciate your dedication and look forward to your continued efforts at being a window of understanding and expanding the realm of empathy through information.

Park Seo-bo, Painter

My relationship with The Korea Herald goes back to 1960.

I was interviewed by a reporter from The Korean Republic, the predecessor of The Korea Herald. Since then, I've had opportunities to meet many reporters from The Korea Herald. A reporter is the face of the newspaper. I hope every reporter has a sense of mission and runs with it.

I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
