Irene Jung
Secretary General I am a rising senior at Korea International School Jeju. I have been involved in GECMUN since its beginning in 2015, and I feel absolutely grateful that I could now lead this conference that has already begun to gain its name value as one of the most innovative conferences in Asia. With more than 300 hundreds participants from across Asia, GECMUN 6 looks forward to being the hub of keen insights and passionate discussions that our delegates are about to bring. I sincerely hope everyone who joins us would have an unforgettable MUN experience that can be found nowhere else.

Louis Lee
Secretary General Hello, I am Louis Lee, a senior at Korea International School Jeju. I feel honored to serve as your Secretary General, and I hope I would not be this unapproachable figure with a gavel but a person who you can easily talk to and maybe ask for help. To me, it still feels like yesterday when I have applied to be a delegate in the very first GECMUN conference so many years ago. I had seen many great delegates, chairs, and Secretary Generals come and go who laid the foundation of who we are right now, and I wish this GECMUN 6 would also live up to its name and continue on its great legacy. To those who will participate in GECMUN for the first time, welcome. To those who are returning, double welcome. And to those who helped us make this all possible, thank you.

Yoobin Park
Deputy Secretary General Dear all the participants of GECMUN 6,
It is my great honour and pleasure to invite you all to the Global Education City Model United Nations (GECMUN), Year Six. I am Yoobin Park, a rising senior at Branksome Hall Asia who will be serving you as a Deputy Secretary General. Although this is my fourth year participating in MUN conference, I still remember how I felt when first attended to MUN, how confusing and onerous it was. However, because I kept challenged myself to stand and speak up, I was able to be part of such memorable and extraordinary MUNs. Therefore delegates, I hope every single one of you to fully embrace this remarkable opportunity to follow your passion and share your own ideas about global affairs as a future world leader. Please feel free to contact me via email (parkyoobin01938@branksome.asia) or Facebook if you have any questions or concerns regarding GECMUN 6. Thank you. |

Heeju Cho
Deputy Secretary General Greetings to fellow participants. I am a rising senior at St. Johnsbury Academy, Jeju. GECMUN is especially meaningful to me because it marks both my first and last MUN conference of my high school year. As such, I feel highly honored to serve as a deputy secretary general and be part of leading GECMUN 6. I hope for all first-time MUN participants that our MUN conference will be approachable and welcoming. And I wish for all other delegates that our conference will provide ample opportunities for communication and making global acquaintances with participants from all over Asia. I will posit my utmost effort to leave you with treasurable memories - a keepsake that will outlast our happy but sadly brief time together here. Thank you.

ADVISOR BIO

Chris Lyons
North London Collegiate School Jeju Director I am a teacher of Geography at the North London Collegiate School, currently in my second year on Jeju. I'm a big fan of travel, my love of geography spurring my need to see as much of the world as possible. Before arriving in Korea, I taught at a senior school in London, where I formed the Model UN Society and ran some small conferences, but it’s great to be able to get involved with an event such as GECMUN, where students really do get an all round Model UN experience. Smaller committee sizes are something we look for when we take students to other Model UN conferences, allowing all students to get involved and get the most from their experience, and I feel that our conference on Jeju does this excellently.
GECMUN V will mark my transition from advisor to director, and I am excited about getting more involved with what I feel will be another positive and rewarding conference. Chris Lyons North London Collegiate School Jeju Director |

Nickolas Harris
Korea International School Jeju Director I teach history at Korea International School Jeju, and have been on the island for the past four years. Previous to South Korea, I taught history and coached MUN at Bahrain and Honduras. I love soccer, history, and MUN.
I have been involved with GECMUN from its inception in 2015, and find it to be one of the most inspiring MUN conferences to be part of. The conference is delegate-centered and is focused on providing attendees with an entertaining and educational experience. The small committee sizes provide ease when it comes to delegates having to contact chairs, and vice-versa. The chairs do not look at the conference as a resume padder but are truly invested in providing delegates with the best experience possible, and I firmly believe our format of having adults selecting the chairs instead of having high school students select their friends is a superior system to many of the MUN conferences in the Korean circuit. We pride our conference to be constantly breaking new barriers. GECMUN was the first major conference to implement UNA-USA style of debate as well as implement crisis committees. We are an ambitious conference, constantly trying out new committees, and continually expanding in size. I look forward to seeing the conference continue to expand in both quality and quantity.
