Head Chair
SeokYoung Jung
Dear distinguished delegates of ECOSOC,
My name is Seok Young Jung, a senior attending the International School of Tianjin. It is my distinct honor to serve you as the Head Chair of the Economic and Social Council for TIANMUN XIV. With this iteration of TIANMUN marking my 11th and last conference, it feels safe to remark that Model United Nations has been a fascinating platform for myself and many other peers to experience diplomacy, develop critical thinking, and achieve personal growth.
This year, ECOSOC will debate upon a series of critical issues ranging from currency instability in South Korea to limited energy access in Sub-Saharan Africa. Each one demands the House to reach concord through respectful dialogue, and I am confident that every one of you will meaningfully contribute towards this shared commitment.
The three chairs will try our best to make this conference a growth opportunity for all delegates. Please take this conference as a chance to step outside of your comfort zone while building meaningful connections!
See you all in November!
Deputy Chair
JooAn Chae
Hello delegates!
My name is JooAn Chae, and it is my privilege to serve as the Deputy Chair of the Economic and Social Council at this year’s TIANMUN XIV conference. I am currently a sophomore at Tianjin International School, and I am truly excited to welcome each of you.
Reflecting on my MUN journey, I vividly remember my very first conference. I was petrified by the atmosphere of the committee room and intimidated by the delegates around me. However, as I participated in more conferences, I learned that the key to getting the most out of MUN is to enjoy the experience. My advice to all of you is simple: don’t be intimidated. Speak with confidence, because there is no absolute right or wrong in MUN.
As your Deputy Chair, I will do my best to create a welcoming and engaging committee for everyone. See you soon!
Deputy Chair
Yeji Heo
Hello, Delegates!
My name is Yeji Heo, a senior at Qingdao Daewon School. I am truly honored to serve as your Deputy Chair of the Economic and Social Council for TIANMUN XIV.
Model United Nations is much more than debating global issues or drafting resolutions. It is an opportunity to exchange ideas, develop diplomatic skills, and work together to address some of the world’s most pressing economic and social challenges.
Whether this is your first conference or not, I hope you will make this opportunity to strengthen your skills. Meaningful debate is built not only on strong arguments but also on mutual respect and genuine collaboration.
As your Deputy chair, I am committed to maintaining a professional, fair, and engaging committee where every delegate feels encouraged to participate.
I wish you the very best in your preparation, and I look forward to meeting all of you at TIANMUN XIV !
