Meet Gabe

Gabe Segoine and his wife, Joy, spent eleven years living in Northeast Asia with their three daughters, where Gabe served as the Founder and Executive Director of LNKM, a nonprofit organization dedicated to humanitarian aid and development in North Korea. He is the author of Surfing North Korea and Other Stories from Inside.
Joy is a published author in South Korea, with two books focused on family dynamics. Their daughters are well known in South Korea’s entertainment industry. Their oldest, Danielle, gained recognition through her work in educational television and as “Lucy” in the popular English-learning platform ABC Bubble. Charity, their middle daughter, is known for her modeling, commercial appearances, and her YouTube channel, Charity Wynn. Their youngest, Hope, is widely recognized for her television appearances and voice work with Pinkfong—most notably as the voice of Baby Shark in the viral video that has garnered nearly 2 billion views globally.
Gabe remains passionate about fostering peace and the eventual unification of the Korean peninsula. His work focuses on building bridges with North Korea (DPRK) through humanitarian aid, business, and sports-cultural exchange. He believes that these people-to-people efforts have the power to reshape how North Korea and the rest of the world engage.
