AI overview of myself, but this is not the Democracy Coalition I was looking for.
AI Overview
While no single group named the "Democracy Coalition" was identified in connection with Dr. Kyi May Kaung and Seoul, search results show that she is a US-based Burmese-American writer and political dissident with a history in the Burmese democracy movement
. Information about a Seoul-based group of Burmese activists called the Myanmar Federal Democratic Mission Coalition (MFDMC) was also found. It is possible the query refers to this group.
Dr. Kyi May Kaung
Background: Dr. Kyi May Kaung is a US-based Burmese-American writer, poet, and visual artist. She holds a PhD in political economy from the University of Pennsylvania.
Political activities: She has been a prominent activist and campaigner for democracy in Myanmar for decades, starting after the 1988 pro-democracy demonstrations. She previously worked as a senior research analyst and radio broadcaster for Radio Free Asia and as a senior research associate for The Burma Fund, affiliated with Myanmar's democratic government-in-exile.

Myanmar Federal Democratic Mission Coalition (MFDMC)
What it is: The MFDMC is a Seoul-based pro-democracy group composed of activists from Myanmar.
Activies: In late 2024, the MFDMC staged a protest in front of the Chinese embassy in Seoul. The protest was held to urge Beijing to stop supporting the military regime that took power after the 2021 coup in Myanmar.
