Jersey City residents Cindy Chung and Alex Kim, Ina Jang of Secaucus, and Bayonne resident Rachel Kim assisted Dr. Giammarella and Michael Ra, Assistant Principal of High Tech, with translations and hosting.  In addition, the High Tech TV Production Department interviewed Cho and his students for posterity.
