I mistakenly sent a link to the group chat for three of us. The article sent by Park Yuha was for me. You would not know the person in the article. Did you by chance read her book The Comfort Women of the Empire?
Not yet. I am going ti read it now. I was busy preparing for the fellowship application.

Sejin
Yes, but I haven’t read this article. But it appears to lean toward the “rightwing” , ie against 민족주의
Will read later
Korean wikipedia is useful to check any historical issues.
English wikipedia is linked to Korean, so you can check both
You should instal wikipedia app on your phone, and use it all the time like a dictionary
There is a NK book and TV drama on the NK land reform too.
The drama was good, may be 10 parts
Youtube
I have the NK book
Thank you.
I will read the wikipedia and install it.
This article is by a man ( on his fb) who made the documentary film (김일성의 아이들) on north korean children sent to eastern europe(poland, rumania...) for temporary adoption during the korean war.
Sejin
I know
Sejin
I can see that the author is basically quoting from the book: ????????? ????????? ??????, ?????????. ????????? is a part of a group of authors who wrote a well known rightwing book. Actually, I support a significant part of what they criticize about Korean nationalism.
Korean nationalism is sympathetic to the NK view.
1So the film director is more or less rightwing.
May be you were surprised to discover this.
So, what needs to be understood is not about the NK landreform, but the contending perspectives on Korean history.
1That is the big picture.
What is the title of the book?
You are going too fast. What do you mean
1) "i support a significant part of what they criticize about korean nationalism"?
2) korean nationalism is sympathetic to the north korean view ( on what)?
If i don't know anything about the north korean land reform, how do i underatand (interprete) the contending perspectives on korean history?
Sejin
the land reform issue would be one of 100 issues.
It would be good to read a book that discuss the perspectives. The book will discuss major historcal issues. Actually, ????????? is one of the major issues.
Landreform would also be one.
But they are all related.
What is ???????? In your message?
Sejin
Need to understand the contending perspectives.
Is the NK land reform that is your priority?
to undestand?
Yes
Sejin
Well, then, you read on that alone. But as I said, the film director was quoting from a rightwing book about Kim Ilsung.
May be you read that book yourself.
What is that book - right wing book about kim il sung?
Ah...ok. good. I will read it.
Sejin
The article that you sent me. Look at the end of the article where I put in bold. https://pan-asian.blogspot.com/2020/07/young-kim.html
I do not have this book in my Aladin bookshelf. But I have several books there on North Korean history that would cover the landreform.
But everybook has some perspective.
Which one in your aladin list ?
I don't see " bold part".
This fellow Young Kim is rather strange.
When I watched the film , i did not have the same understanding as his - north korea abandoned its children.
Sejin
The second last paragraph: ???????????? ?????? ?????? ????????? ??????????????? ????????? ??????????????? ????????? ?????? ??????????????? ?????? ?????? 17??? ????????? 13?????? ?????? ?????? ?????? ??????????????? ?????????. ????????? ???????????????, ???????????????, ?????????, ?????????, ??????????????? ????????? ?????? ???????????? ???????????? ???????????????'?????????. ('????????? ????????? ??????, ?????????)
Sejin
I put bold on the book author and title.
where did you watch the film?
He said "abandoned the children"?
Compared with south korean approach of selling the orphans, n. Korea sent children with teachers and made it clear that it is a temporary measre and they will take back the orphans , and they did.
Sejin
And?
You mean that he said NK abandoned the children?
Some children did not want to go back.
They had difficulty in the beginning to adjust to the new environment , but after a number of years they saw a different system- society.
Sejin
What did the direct try to say?
director
Yes. That's the sense he conveyed in his folliwing discussions.
Sejin
abandoned?
Where can I watch the film?
It is 2am, need to go to sleep.
Yes.
In the film the director' voice is much more neutral, but started. changing in his discussions
Sejin
bye
Bye
Sejin
Basically, the director is critical of NK, and also critical of anyone in SK sympathetic to NK.
I gave donnation 15만원, when i read the scenario (advertisement) of the film and i tought his film presents a completely different situation from south kirean foreign adoption. But gradually his statements and media contacts ( 조선일보, 태영오) were turning to a direction that i did not expect.
Because of my donnation, he allowed me to watch with pass word on Vimeo.
But i did not take notes! When i asked to watch for the second time, he did not allow, because i already told him that he is twisting his position from the film.
Sejin
I see.
He is faced with criticisms from the leftwing in SK
I can see it from his Facebook articles
His article on the NK land reform should be seen from this larger picture.
In general, he would be critical of anything about NK
OK, will talk to you later. Bye.
I did not expect this turn of the event.
His film is neutral and humanitarian perspective. But he seems to be pressured to make his career and his first media contact/ report was 조선일보..
I cannot remember exact wording in 조선일보.
I asked him if that was what the reporter said and if the reporter watched the film. He said yes. And i told him the reporter is twisting the message of the film and we argued and he did not like what i told him.
1Good night
Sejin
thanks. does it need a password?
it costs $21 Australian to watch
I think it is the price of subscription of vimeo on line for one month. It is commercial.
I would be very interested in knowing what you get out of the film, not what he says about the film.
I paid 15만원 not for the film but a donnation.
Sejin
That is a big donation. I will consider watching it, but a bit expensive to me. The fee is not for month but for two hours.
Today I need to spend some time on something else.
Oh.that's expensive.
I made a big donation because i thought he was praising north korean approach in dealing with the orphans. I wanted to help his perspective to be known, bur it turns out the contrary .
I do not undersrand how and where i went wrong....
When yoy watch, di take notes.
Sejin
About “going wrong”, that is “understanding” the person’s political and historical perspective.
Yes. ...
Sejin
Oh, just for me?
No. For everybody. Announced on fb.sent you just now
Sejin
Oh, ok
But you have to apply. I think
Sejin
Ok, I will watch it
