Fighting for Truth & Freedom
in South Korea

"The Truth Will Set You Free"

South Korea's first conservative youth organization, grounded in a Judeo-Christian worldview.
Standing firm for liberty, truth, and the ROK–US Alliance.

Who We Are

South Korea's Pioneering
Conservative Organization

Truth Forum was founded in 2017 at Seoul National University — South Korea's most prestigious university — in response to a nation where false, inflammatory politics threatened the very foundation of the Republic of Korea.

We are dedicated to advancing truth against lies, and freedom against tyranny, rooted in a Judeo-Christian worldview and inspired by American conservative tradition. We believe the United States must remain a city on a hill — and that South Korea stands as America's frontline ally against Communist China.

Today, Truth Forum has connections to approximately 130 universities across South Korea — including current students and alumni — with core campus chapters actively engaged. The forum is now an officially U.S.-incorporated organization (Virginia, February 2026), building bridges between Korean and American conservatives.

Founder & President

David Eunkoo Kim
Founder & Representative · Truth Forum

David Eunkoo Kim founded Truth Forum in 2017 at Seoul National University to confront the rising tide of cultural Marxism, postmodernism, and pro-North Korea ideology on Korean campuses. A law graduate of Seoul National University with doctoral coursework at the same institution, he previously served in the legal team at Nexon and later founded his own gaming company.

He is a cast member and co-producer of The Birth of Korea — a groundbreaking documentary surpassing 1 million viewers — which reveals the truth about South Korea's founding president Syngman Rhee and challenges liberal historical distortions.

Witnessing the media-manufactured impeachment of President Park Geun-hye, he recognized the existential threat to South Korea's national identity and founded Truth Forum as the nation's first explicitly conservative youth organization. He has appeared on FOX News, been interviewed by The Epoch Times, contributed to MEMRI, and spoken at KCPAC (Korea CPAC).

"As a Korean, I stand for 'America First' — because America must be restored. A nation poisoned by postmodernism and Marxism cannot lead. If America does not rise again, Korea will have no secure future against communist China. Yet 'America First' does not mean 'America alone.' America has been — and must remain — the light of the world, a city set on a hill. If the United States loses South Korea, the next to fall will be America itself, because the struggle we are facing is ultimately a fight for freedom and truth. That is why we must stand strong together — on the bedrock of the U.S.–ROK Alliance, and under the Word of God." — David Eunkoo Kim, Letter to Speaker Mike Johnson

Campus Activism

Standing Against Antisemitism
on Korean Campuses

Truth Forum founded Students for Israel (SFI) — South Korea's first pro-Israel student movement on university campuses — to counter the spread of pro-Hamas ideology and antisemitism following the October 7 Hamas attack.

At Seoul National University and Korea University, Truth Forum organized "Free Palestine from Hamas" events, poster exhibitions, and open Q&A sessions, arguing that Hamas — not Israel — is the true obstacle to peace for Palestinians.

When leftist student groups posted pro-Hamas posters on campus, Truth Forum responded with documented counter-arguments, launching a public "poster debate" and exposing the radical organizations fueling antisemitism at Korean universities.

📌 Truth Forum's Stand on Israel:
  • Founded "Students for Israel" — Korea's first campus pro-Israel organization
  • Organized "Free Palestine from Hamas" at SNU & Korea University
  • Countered pro-Hamas poster campaigns with truth-based rebuttals
  • Exposed antisemitism rooted in radical Islamism on Korean campuses

Demanding Closure of the Xi Jinping Library
at Seoul National University

Truth Forum has been sounding the alarm about China's covert infiltration of South Korea since its earliest days. Long before it became mainstream discussion, Truth Forum warned of CCP United Front tactics targeting Korean universities, politics, and media. The campaign to close the Xi Jinping Library at Seoul National University — launched in October 2022 — is one concrete expression of that sustained vigilance. The library was installed in 2014 following Xi Jinping's campus visit, and Truth Forum argues it has since become a tool of CCP cultural and ideological infiltration.

🚨 Why This Matters to America

Truth Forum has been warning about China's covert infiltration of South Korea since the organization's founding — long before this was widely acknowledged. The CCP's United Front tactics target universities, media, business, and politics to shape narratives and build influence among tomorrow's leaders.

The Xi Jinping Library closure campaign, launched in October 2022, is a direct expression of that vigilance. Truth Forum organized banner campaigns, press conferences, alumni petitions, and direct outreach to visiting U.S. politicians. Approximately 55,000 people have signed petitions (online, written, and phone) calling for closure. A portion of those signatures have been formally delivered to the SNU administration.

The campaign was featured by The Epoch Times, with reporter Steve Lance interviewing Truth Forum's president David Eunkoo Kim on the library's origins and CCP infiltration tactics. His interviews have helped bring South Korea's freedom struggle to international audiences.

"As it has become evident that the Xi Jinping Library is being exploited as a tool of the CCP's United Front tactics and historical revisionist projects, allowing such an archive at Seoul National University would be a profound disgrace in our history."

South Korea at a Crossroads

The battle for freedom in South Korea is directly connected to America's own security. What happens in Seoul impacts Washington.

Why America Must Pay Attention

The Fight for South Korea
Is America's Fight Too

South Korea faces a silent invasion — through ideological infiltration: cultural Marxism in universities, CCP influence in politics, and media-manufactured misinformation threatening the ROK-US alliance. Truth Forum has been at the forefront of exposing these threats — from countering Juche ideology on campus to shutting down a Xi Jinping Library at Seoul National University.

"In 1954, before the U.S. Congress, President Syngman Rhee proclaimed: 'Unless we win back China, the ultimate victory of the free world is unthinkable.' It was prophetic — seventy years ahead of its time." — David Eunkoo Kim, Truth Forum

The overwhelming majority of South Koreans love America and support the ROK-US alliance. Truth Forum stands as their voice — calling on American conservatives to stand with them.
