Han Kang, the most famous author in South Korea tears Drumpf a new anus for not valuing korean life.
>In the op-ed, Han emphasized that, for South Koreans, war is a reality that threatens those who are closest to them. “We are afraid of a gradually escalating war of words becoming war in reality…because there are loved ones beside us. Because there are 50 million people living in the south part of this peninsula, and the fact that there are 700,000 kindergartners among them is not a mere number to us,” she wrote.
>Han also asked whether the No Gun Ri Massacre – an incident during the Korean War in which American troops slaughtered Korean civilian refugees – would have been possible if those troops “did not perceive the South Korean refugees as ‘subhuman.’” The news that has been coming from the US recently sounds “perilously familiar” to Han, who quoted a remark reportedly made by US President Donald Trump: “Don’t worry, war won’t happen in America. Only on the Korean Peninsula.”
>Referring to Trump’s recent remarks that [North] Koreans “only understand one thing,” Han said that Trump was right: “Koreans really do understand only one thing. We understand that any solution that is not peace is meaningless and that ‘victory’ is just an empty slogan, absurd and impossible.”
