Role in the Community

  • Publisher, Taiwan Tribune (台灣公論報). The paper was born in 1981 from ~2,000 pre-paid subscriber pledges with no single financier; Koh (as 發行人) wrote its retrospective 03 and — with 副發行人邱義昌 — signed the farewell note when the paper folded after 34 years (08).
  • Co-founder, Cleveland Taiwanese Medical Association (Oct 1983). One of the 25 founding physicians convened by 周烒明 at 楓林閣; the Cleveland chapter (Taipei Medical Univ. cohort among its most active members) planned and drove the 1984 founding of the North American Taiwanese Medical Association (12; Eng. ourjourneys74-eng) — corroborates the UFI/Taiwan Tribune leadership line in his press-kit entry with first-person movement memoir.
  • United Formosans for Independence (台灣獨立建國聯盟美國本部) leadership. The UFI HQ’s own historical roster in 08 records Koh as 副主席 elected at the 1996-05-25 盟員代表大會 in New Orleans (under 主席張信堂), then as 主席 elected at the 第十八屆大會 (1998-06-24, Yosemite; 副主席鄭智雄, succeeded 1999-09-03 by 楊英育), and names him as the last (14th) in the roster of fourteen 負責人 who led the US headquarters across its 44 years from 1956 to 1999 (cohort incl. 蔡同榮, 郭倍宏, 張燦鍙) — upgrading the press-kit’s bare “UFI — President” line to dated, sourced terms.
  • Brother: 許世楷. 陳茂雄’s 2016-08-16 visit profile of 周烒明醫師 records the elder 周 physician (Koh’s fellow Taipei Medical / UFI cohort member, who convened the Cleveland medical founding) painting the 許世楷、許世模 brothers’ portraits in his final years — the two brothers named together as 台獨前輩 subjects in a movement elder’s own studio record ( 陳茂雄, 2016-08-16).
  • Corpus re-grep 2026-09-19 (slice 09180400-1): corpus hits (122 公論報回顧, ourjourneys156, ourjourneys74/-eng, ourjourneys193, columns16, ourjourneys234) all already absorbed below — no new material.
  • Corpus re-grep 2026-09-20 (slice 09191100-1): 11 corpus files match 許世模/Sebo Koh; the new absorbable item is the 周烒明 visit profile (brother 許世楷, 周- Koh medical/movement cohort) absorbed above; whos-who-770-sebo-koh and 189-dr-koh are his own directory records already reflected in Sources.
  • Columnist & letter-writer. His Taiwan Tribune column 思想技 is archived at 16. 思想技, 2016-10-18; he also wrote to the paper arguing that its 跳傘孩童 piece ignored the political and environmental reasons Taiwanese brought their children to the US (letter archived in 193. 台灣跳傘孩童 record).
