Please join us in thanking MC Enoch for his service to the GORI community for the past 6 years! At any GORI event, there is one guy who always stands out among them all. His name is Enoch Cho, the main MC of GORI. You probably know him by his energy, humor, and entertainment. He is the guy who makes sure all guests are having a great time during the event and creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere for all. Enoch has made a significant impact in our GORI community through his hard work, natural talent, and professionalism. Enoch epitomizes GORI's values and high standards. After serving 6 years as main MC, Enoch decided to step down from his role to spend more time with his lovely wife, Sophia. We are sad to make this announcement, but at the same time, we wish him all the best! His first debut was on Sept 22, 2012. The first day wasn't the most pleasant one for sure. The speaker system broke and it turned into a "freaking-out" moment for the organizers. Thanks to his instincts and quick thinking, he decided the show must go on and engaged our audience with his booming voice. Despite a not-so-ideal situation, Enoch led his first GORI event with resounding success. Since then, he is known as the 'loudest guy in the room.' During 6 years of his service, he led more than 40 social events as the main MC and executed the special programs such as Catch me if you can, Mingler Match, Game board, Raffle, Crazy Santa and more. Although his role will be different from now on, he promised that he will return as a special MC when we need him. It was our privilege to have such a talented individual as himself to lead this community. GORI will always remember his contributions and dedication to this group. Thank you, Enoch! Introducing our new MC - Kevin Kim! Tell us about your background? After graduating from Cooper Union, NY, I am working at a building envelope consulting firm, where our team focuses on designing and engineering facades of the building. My background is in engineering, but I have interest in art and business also. I love traveling and trying local cuisines and local drinks. Before I bore you with more details, I would love to chat more over your favorite drinks! :D- I was also a nationally rated fencer in High School. What made you join GORI as an MC? GORI has been a great community of intelligent and passionate individuals. One of my favorite hobbies is meeting new people and listening to their stories, and I absolutely love it! Every single person I met has a unique story– No one is same. By joining GORI as an MC, I am excited to share the experience with others, where we get to share each other’s thoughts and stories and connect. How do you want to lead the event? What do you envision? I envision GORI events to be welcoming and professional, where new members are always welcomed and people comfortably share their thoughts and ideas. I love New York City, because the city is always filled with ambitious people. However, it is hard to find someone in the city, where we can casually grab drinks and discuss ideas. I want GORI events to be a place where people can be who they are and share their stories with each other - the place where we make meaningful connections. Upcoming Event - May 4th, 2018 at Goldbar At this event, you will have an opportunity meet like-minded professionals in your industry.
