Okhwan Yoon is a South Korean cyclist who has traveled to 191 countries by bicycle since 2001.[1][2][3] He is also a philosopher, writer, political analyst and peace activist.
Okhwan Yoon got his first bike when he was 6 years old and started to cycle around the rooms of his family home.[citation needed] In his teenage years, after coming back from school, he would ride around the villages near Seoul until it got dark. He wondered who lived behind the mountains and what it looked like there.
His mother raised him to be independent. In 1984, Yoon was arrested while demonstrating against the Chun Doo-hwan regime.
In 1987 Yoon graduated in law with a bachelor degree and in 1991 he started a trading company in South Korea. In June 2001, he quit his career as a businessman.[citation needed] He embarked on a bicycle journey, his stated purpose to support the idea of a more peaceful world and to plant the seed of the reunification of Korea. He has survived car crashes, malaria and kidnapping, and he almost lost his life from extreme heat and cold. In September 2009 Yoon met Marek Mackovič, a Slovakian director, in Cyprus. Marek started to shoot a feature length film about Yoon. On July 24, 2010, he filmed him in Kathmandu, Nepal and submitted the footage for the Life in a Dayproject, directed by Kevin MacDonald and produced by Ridley Scott. As top contributors, Marek Mackovič and Okhwan Yoon were invited to the premiere at Sundance Film Festival, where it debuted in January 2011.
In the summer of 2010, Okhwan visited Bhutan, the 191st country on his journey that has spanned over six continents. He has been to every U.N. country aside from North Korea. He ran marathons in Prague and France (Nice-Cannes) in 2011. He plans to climb Mt. Everest with his bicycle, and to visit MicronesiaTuvalu, and Aruba. He eventually hopes to join the National Assembly of South Korea and publish a book about his journey.[citation needed]

I would like to introduce the peace activists through the Wikipedia.

List of peace activists


This list of peace activists includes people who've proactively advocated diplomatic, philosophical, and non-military resolution of major territorial or ideological disputes throughnonviolent means and methods. Peace activists usually work with others in the overall peace movement to focus the world's attention on the irrationality of violent conflicts, decisions, and actions. They thus initiate and facilitate wide public dialogues aimed at nonviolently altering long-standing societal agreements directly related to, and held in place by, the various irrational, violent, habitual, and historically fearful thought-processes residing at the core of these conflicts, with the intention of peacefully ending the conflicts themselves.

Furthermore we need to find out more perfect and profound method to make peace in the world.

God created the world including human beings.
Therefore we could find out the method for making peace through the words of God, i.e. the Bible.
And then probably we could solve the problem of war and hostility between humans and nations.

Please make the world in peace to make harmony internationally.

Thanks a lot for you participation for making the world in peace^^
