On my trip to California in September 2019, the layover in ICN was 8 hours. I was able to meet up with two of my friends.
The first meeting was with brother Young Woong Kwon and his wife. Mr. Kwon attended SfK MBA BCT in Chiang Mai in 2018 and is now serving in Nepal. His keen interest in serving Nepalis through missional business makes our reunion joyous.
The second meeting with Rev. Jae Chul Jung who is serving as a member of SfK Korea board of directors. His full time job is with ELand Group overseeing Asia Mission and all other corporate social responsibility areas. He served in Malaysia through a BAM and is supportive of the BAM movement in Korea. We shared common values and philosophy. Look forward to expanding our collaboration through SfK Korea.
On the way back, the layover was even longer at 13 hours, which allowed me even to make a trip down to Osan to have lunch with my mother and two sisters. Also, I was able to join the breakfast gathering with KBM Global colleagues.
Originally, I was going to have breakfast with BJ Kim, who used to work for Qatar Airways as the ICN Country Director for 16 years and has now moved to IATA Korea Office, and Ferdinando Choi, who runs the ICN operations for AeroMexico. But, the plan has changed to this breakfast because Danny Kim of Madrid also wanted to meet up with Young BAMers at KBM Global. Elder Kyungsup Kwon was also present, making the event more meaningful.
The buffet lunch for Korean and Asian foods was abundant with choices and delicious. Regretfully, I did not take any photo of us together. Oh well...
It was my first time taking advantage of long layovers at ICN mainly because Bethel Korea Church made the arrangement with Korean Air. But, actually it may not be a bad idea to do so intentionally. - Jeffrey
