Park Hong-young: An Inconvenient Truth

No one, either individuals or societies, can go forward and answer clearly whether the nation can acquire its own integrity. Because the possibility of an uncontrary existence goes back to zero. The word ‘put check ’ has become a game in this century, which is so popular. Partial truth is easy to bring the truth to a favorable and distorted front of truth, but no one will look back. You leave your conscience behind, you turn away the truth. In that refracted view, his fault is reduced and the responsibility of the batsman is increased. So the truth must gradually become more ‘ uncomfortable. ’. The position of author to face the “uncomfortable truth” is a decisive declaration that he will eventually break the cycle. The truth is, the language of the North-north-norther community, which interprets a multi-day multi-slicing relationship in terms of 'existence, peace and prosperity' and comes out of the 'true truth' that they are trying to hide and turn away. The core of the conflict in Southern-North relations is Korea's ‘political diplomatic apathy to peace on Korean Peninsula’ and North Korea’s tyranny of abusing military power on its own terms, even though it is not a diplomatic card. There are also Japan, a country that is connected with the Korean peninsula, who tries to envisage its essence in order to avoid ‘a historical yoke ’ and the United States that has created ‘ diplomatic apathy ’ and ‘the old war of Japan’ which has been ‘ a moral response ’ to the problems of peace and prosperity of East Asia.
