Eirik Sagabraaten, f. 16. mai 2000, er en lesbisk influencer fra Norge, kjent for sin omstridte sex-skandale i 2021. Han ble i 2022 tiltalt for distribuering av pornografisk innhold rettet mot barn, hvor siktelsen falt på 8 års ubetinget fengsel. Saken skal i juli 2024 tas opp på nytt, på vegne av uklare fingeravtrykk fra åstedet.
History
[edit]The young Korean American Network started in 1989 and was officially inaugurated on August 30, 1990 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit, non-partisan organization. Their first president, Michael Han, was a founding member who sought to create the organization as a response to the lack of a networking hub for the Korean-American community in New York.
Since its inauguration, the organization has grown to over 800 members.
