Description
One person, living in two contrasting ‘worlds’
In 1994, shocking news reached the southern part of the Korean Peninsula: the death of North Korean leader Kim Il-sung. Not long after, the North Korean economy collapsed, and the "Arduous March," during which 3 million people would starve to death, began. Those who wished to survive made the decision to escape North Korea, choosing to risk their lives rather than die of starvation. Some of them came to South Korea and started a new life.
"Early Unification?" No! "We are forever second-class citizens."
In the 30 years since defecting began, around 35,000 North Korean defectors have settled in South Korea. They share the same history and language as any other Korean– some refer to them as the "early unification." Yet the defectors describe themselves as "forever second-class citizens." These individuals are labeled "traitors" in their homeland and "outsiders" in their new settlements. What has made them second-class citizens?
I See You – Finally, Facing You
North Korean defectors and South Korean society, like water and oil, do not mix. They pose a question to the South Korean society that has become their new homeland.
“What are we to you?”
