The best Korean interpreter ever

Because the distance between English and Korean languages is so far as their geographic distance, it is very difficult to find a really good Korean interpreter. Everybody makes mistakes, even the best of them. You can become a court certified interpreter in California if you can get about 80% in the oral test, and that is very good accuracy. I once met a great interpreter, Kyung Hwa Chung, who served as interpreter to President Dae Jung Kim and is now a high ranking Korean diplomat working for human rights in Geneva.
But look at this guy! He is surely the best Korean interpreter that I ever came across. He provided interpreting at Chun An Boat press conference, where Korean government was explaining to foreign press that there are substancial evidences that North Korea was involved in the sinking of Chun An Boat in june, 2010.
