About

Kim Jong-Hyoun spent nearly four decades in intelligence analysis, working across Korea’s defense and intelligence community on real-time threat assessment and strategic analysis. That career—systematic, evidence-driven, attentive to what data can and cannot tell you—now shapes a second one: writing.

Two books anchor this site:

Insight and Foresight: The Art and Science of Intelligence Analysis distills that career into a practical guide—covering everything from data collection and classification to traditional, qualitative, and big-data analytical techniques. It’s written for analysts, policymakers, and anyone who wants to think more rigorously under uncertainty.

The Three Genes That Shape The Korean Spirit: Han, Jeong, Heung turns to a different kind of analysis—of the emotional structures at the heart of Korean cultural life, and why they resonate so widely beyond the peninsula.

Both books are available on Amazon:
