Why I run for CA State Assembly District 54
I recall once when I was in middle school my father telling me the secret to being successful in America: own something. He had come from Korea in the 1970s and together with my mom ran a flower shop, raised three kids, and supported our two grandparents. According to him, to own the home you live in or the business you run meant you had a stake in America that no one could take away. And that’s a dream shared across generations.

Waking Up to Thrill of Bluetooth’s 3rd Innovation Wave
//php echo do_shortcode('[responsivevoice_button voice="US English Male" buttontext="Listen to Post"]') ?> Bluetooth radio tech is one of the most successful wireless solutions ever introduced. Yet today, many people view Bluetooth as a mature technology that, despite its continued market expansion, is unexciting.
DOJ and FTC Propose Dramatic Overhaul of Merger Guidelines | JD Supra
On July 19, 2023, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) jointly announced anticipated changes to the Horizontal Merger Guidelines and Vertical Merger Guidelines....
FTC Joins DOJ in Withdrawing Health Care Antitrust Guidance | JD Supra
In February 2023, we issued an alert on the DOJ’s withdrawal of three antitrust policy statements related to the DOJ’s enforcement of health care markets and for health care providers. In that alert, we noted that although expected, the FTC had not yet withdrawn these statements, which would require a vote by the FTC Commissioners to do so. On July 14, the FTC announced the three current sitting Commissioners voted 3-0 to rescind these statements.

DOJ Withdraws Health Care Antitrust Statements: What’s Next for the Health Care Industry? | JD Supra
On Friday, February 3, 2023, the Justice Department’s Antitrust Division formally withdrew three antitrust policy statements relating to the Division’s enforcement of the antitrust laws in health care markets and for health care providers (e.g., health systems, hospitals and physicians).
Results are Here: School Streets a Hit
This past Fall Los Angeles Walks partnered with LA City's Safe Routes to School to pilot a global trend in student safety: School Streets. A School Streets activation is when you open up a school's drop off/pick up street to children walking, biking, or scooting to school. By transforming a street usually filled with u-turning cars, honking horns, and gas exhaust to a space of play, fun, parents gain a powerful tool to create safer passageways for students and reclaim their streets.
Anti-Pedestrianism & Echo Park
by Mehmet Berker, Board Member of Los Angeles Walks On Wednesday, March 24th, after a series of opaque statements and actions by Los Angeles Councilmember Mitch O’Farrell’s office, the LAPD was sent in to forcibly evict an unhoused community who had been encamping in Echo Park for some time. During the night, coordinated with the police violence, the City of Los Angeles erected fencing around Echo Park as well as the playground south of Bellevue Avenue to ostensibly “make repairs”.
We're taking on "jaywalking"!
You heard right! Los Angeles Walks and our partners at California Walks and Cal Bikes are co-sponsors to Assembly Member Phil Ting's AB1238, the Freedom to Walk Act, which would repeal California's "jaywalking" laws. But isn't this law meant to protect pedestrians? While it may sound like "jaywalking" laws are meant to keep pedestrians safe, the reality is far different.
A Party Without Putin
In addition to swapping government posts, the political tandem of Putin and Medvedev, which has dominated Russian politics for the past half decade, maybe configuring yet another switch. According to the Russian newspaper, Vedomosti, President-elect Vladimir Putin and soon-to-be Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev are set to separately meet with leading members of the ruling United Russia Party in late May.
With sidewalk accessibility already awful, don't let City Council blame the houseless to "fix it"
By Mehmet Berker of Los Angeles Walks and Aziz Fellague Ariouat & Jessica Meaney of Investing in Place Today, on Tuesday the 24th of November, the Los Angeles City Council is set to take up an amended version of Council File 20-1376. This ordinance purports to amend Section 41.18 of the Los Angeles Municipal Code (which makes it illegal to sit, sleep or lie down on the sidewalk) in a way that would pass muster under the decision in Martin v.
The American Revolution for Energy Independence
The American Revolution for Energy Independence You wouldn’t know it, but according to recent reports the United States is on the road to energy independence. That’s the same “energy independence” that American political leaders have been promising the electorate for years, lambasting America’s addiction to foreign oil. And thanks to a relatively unknown sedimentary rock called shale, it seems that true energy independence may very well be within arms reach.
If you’re thirsty it’s already too late
What’s the most important question you can ask your employees today? Twenty-four years ago this month, I was lower than an Army Private; I was a cadet candidate, aka “new cadet” at the US Military Academy. Though cadets outrank Army enlisted personnel by a technicality, as a “New Cadet” (in training to become an official “Cadet Private”) I was scraping the bottom of the barrel. No freedom, no respect, no hair.
Russia-South Korea Relations: Much ado About Something
Russia-South Korea Relations: Much ado About Something China and Russia’s close relations have played out on the international stage for the past decade and each signed memorandum or trade agreement has reinforced the strengthening bond of these two odd bed-fellows. But there’s a less public romance developing between Russia and South Korea as well. In recent years, Moscow has invited and courted South Korean businessmen and diplomats, encouraging investment and political cooperation.
Valentina Matviyenko’s Lessons in Decentralization
Valentina Matviyenko’s Lessons in Decentralization In the past two months, the less well-known half of the Russian legislature, the Federation Council, has been experiencing dramatic structural changes under the tenure of Valentina Matviyenko. While its counterpart, the Duma, is often criticized as a pro-Kremlin institution, the Federation Council’s adherence to the center is far more resolute.
Taking Off the Kid Gloves with Pyongyang
The Korea Times recently published an interesting opinion piece, suggesting the broadening of the Six Party Talks to include the European Union, thus creating “6+EU Talks.” According to the article, this 27-member organization would inject a wider variety of economic and political leverages to the defunct negotiation process. Which led me to ask: Why not do the opposite and drop the Six Party Talks altogether?
Japan’s New Security Reality in East Asia
Japan’s New Security Reality in East Asia Nearly all members of the Six Party Talks, except for Japan, seem to be on board to restart negotiations. Tokyo has been noticeably reticent amidst a bustle of preliminary meetings between the U.S. and North Korea and between Russia and South Korea. Even Beijing made a uncharacteristic push for Pyongyang to improve ties with the U.S. during Chinese Vice Premier Li Keqiang’s visit to the isolated state.
China’s Trawler Diplomacy
China’s Trawler Diplomacy Yesterday, two South Korean coast guards officers were stabbed by a captain of a Chinese fishing boat accused of illegally fishing in ROK waters. One officer died after being brought to a hospital and the other is undergoing surgery for stabs in his abdomen.
Seoul’s 'New' Political Parties
Seoul’s ‘New’ Political Parties With the April National Assembly elections just a few months off, the two main South Korean political parties have undergone major face-lifts, or at least they’ve been trying to and for good reason. Just this past week, the ruling conservative Grand National Party (GNP), under the chairmanship of one of South Korea’s most influential female politician, Park Geun-hye, reemerged as the Saenuri Party (meaning the “New World” Party).
Testing Seoul’s Green Energy Abroad
Testing Seoul’s Green Energy Abroad In what is widely considered as Seoul’s next step in becoming a heavy weight in the world of alternative energy technology, South Korean state owned energy giant, Korean Electric Power Company (KEPCO) will develop a massive offshore wind farm project on the southwest coast of the country. The network of wind turbines will boast a 2.5-gigawatt yield and when completed by 2016, it will be the largest of its kind.
North Korea's Show of Stability
North Korea’s Show of Stability There’s been much talk about how North Korea has arrived at a turning point in its history. However, Pyongyang’s behavior before and after the official announcement of the death of its “Beloved Leader,” Kim Jong-Il, indicates that change may not come as quickly as many may hope. If there’s one thing Pyongyang has managed to handle well in the aftermath of the death of its nation’s strongman is keeping a secret.
The Kremlin’s Version of Russia Without Fools
The Kremlin’s Version of Russia Without Fools It’s a new website that seems befitting of the angry mood amongst Russians over the last month’s Duma elections and the coming March Presidential elections, which have all but promised the return of Vladimir Putin to the Kremlin.
China, South Korean Energy Competition
China, South Korean Energy Competition South Korean conglomerate and energy giant, the SK Group, in the past few days has made moves to gain a stronger foothold in China’s energy transportation market, in particular in China Gas Holdings. China Gas Holdings is a major player in China’s natural gas pipeline and infrastructure industry and is especially active in the liquefied petroleum gas markets.
Medvedev’s Second Go at Modernization
Medvedev’s Second Go at Modernization Having served his four-year tenure as President pushing his trademark government initiative of modernizing the Russian economy and government, Prime Minister and newly appointed leader of the dominant United Russia Party, Dmitry Medvedev, now has his sights on modernizing his party.

First Circuit Deems Hyperlink Inconspicuous, Reverses Order Compelling Arbitration
The First Circuit recently reversed an order compelling arbitration in a putative class action, and in doing so found that Uber could not enforce its terms of service against the Plaintiffs because the hyperlinks to their agreements had been inconspicuous. See Cullilane v. Uber Techs., Inc., 893 F.3d 53 (1st Cir. 2018). When juxtaposed against the Second Circuit’s decision in Meyer v. Uber Technologies, Inc. and the Ninth Circuit’s decision in Wiseley v.
TCPA Defendant Allowed to Seek Indemnification from Plaintiff’s Daughter, the Intended Recipient of its Debt-Related Calls
One of the central issues that was before the D.C. Circuit in ACA International v. FCC was whether the term “called party” refers to the intended or the unintended recipient of a call.
A Simple but Important Role in Diversity for Big Law
John S. Yi, left, and Maria L. H. Lewis, right, of Drinker Biddle & Reath. Sitting in a diversity and inclusion orientation session when I joined my firm as a first-year associate in the fall of 2014, I quickly became reacquainted with the low numbers and low retention rates of diverse associates at big law firms generally, statistics I was only previously aware of in the abstract.

No App Necessary: Latest in Mobile Marketing for Restaurants
Mobile marketing is often described to be an inexact science. With the sheer amount of mobile apps available–and more coming every day–gauging long-term consumer interest and use of a particular platform can seem about as sure a bet as picking the winner of the Kentucky Derby two years in advance. Consumers can be extremely fickle and always lean toward the application with the lowest barrier to entry.
No App Necessary: Latest in Mobile Marketing for Restaurants
Mobile marketing is often described to be an inexact science. With the sheer amount of mobile apps available--and more coming every day--gauging long-term consumer interest and use of a particular platform can seem about as sure a bet as picking the winner of the Kentucky Derby two years in advance. Concerning the fast-casual restaurant industry and associated applications, consumers themselves can be extremely fickle.
As Contemplated By the FCC?: TCPA Defendant Seeks Indemnification From Consumer Who Provided Plaintiff’s Mobile Number
One of the central issues in the consolidated appeal from the FCC’s July 10, 2015 Declaratory Ruling and Order is whether the term “called party” refers to the intended or actual recipient of the call. The FCC’s Order interpreted the term “called party” to be the “subscriber” or “non-subscriber customary user” of the phone that was called, regardless of whether the caller meant to call someone else.
Contracts 101: Second Circuit Holds That Black Letter Contract Law Precludes Revocation of Consent Claims Under The TCPA
The explosion of litigation under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”) has continued through the second quarter of 2017. Businesses have been anxiously awaiting a ruling from the D.C. Circuit in the appeal of the Federal Communications Commission’s (“FCC”) July 2015 Declaratory Ruling and Order as well as reforms from the FCC itself. As the wait continues, promising developments have been emerging from the courts.
FCC Holds Webinar On “How to Deal with Robocalls”
Yesterday, the FCC’s Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau held an informational webinar titled “How to Deal with Robocalls.” Kristi Thornton (Associate Division Chief, Consumer Policy Division) began by providing background on the TCPA and robocalls, as well as recent FCC actions pertaining to federal debt collection calls and the emergency purposes exception as it relates to calls placed by schools and utility companies. We previously reported on these actions here.
New Jersey Court Rejects Automatic Application of "Time Filing" Rule In Builder's Remedy Litigation
Developers who bring builder’s remedy lawsuits under New Jersey’s Mount Laurel doctrine often cite the so-called “time of filing” rule. The contention is that in determining whether a municipality is compliant with its affordable housing obligations, the court must base its decision on the zoning ordinances in effect at the time the developer initially filed its lawsuit, and disregard actions the municipality may have taken to achieve compliance after the lawsuit was filed.
FTC Issues Annual National DNC Registry Data Book
