“She had never once imagined there could be a world where, even without feeling any particular threat to her survival, she could not let her guard down for a single moment. Freedom, freedom—that alone would be more than enough, but was this not a world of abundance as well? And yet, something was strange. In a world where the basics of food, clothing, and shelter could be met with only modest labor, where one could forget the fear of war and violence even as armed agents from North Korea and all manner of criminals ran rampant—why this feeling of unease, anxiety, and suffocation?” ( 《함께 있어도 외로움에 떠는 당신들》 , 사람풍경 ,2012) / Hamkke isseodo oeroume tteoneun dangsindeul (You Who Tremble with Loneliness Even When Together), Saram Punggyeong, 2012
