Edward Pokropski, 39, of New York, NY is an adopted Korean-American who has a new one-man show out unpacking that experience. He talks about why not all audiences are comfortable laughing at jokes about adoption and how he approaches the topic while staying true to himself.

This is the second-half of a recent conversation with Peter Møller of the Danish Korean Rights Group. 

The discussion takes place on Dec. 11, 2022 (KST), just days after the Korean Truth and Reconciliation Commission

decided to start an investigation on Korean adoption by examining an initial 34 cases of the more than 300 submissions. 

We also discuss privacy in regards to the Special Adoption Law and threats made by Holt to Møller and other adoptees if they don't
